The Collision of Faith & Life's Biggest Questions

Join Adam Hamilton on a transformative journey that bridges the gap between the head and the heart, exploring the collision of faith and life’s biggest questions. Making Sense of Faith isn’t just another religious podcast—this thought-provoking conversation offers a fresh take on life’s big questions, blending intellectual curiosity with heartfelt exploration.

In each episode, Adam wrestles with the questions that keep us up at night:

  • How can we find faith in times of fear and uncertainty?
  • Does science contradict or complement faith?
  • How do we make sense of suffering?
  • Can Christianity truly be inclusive?
  • What does faith look like in a world of diverse beliefs?

ASKING THE HARD QUESTIONS ABOUT RELIGION & CHRISTIANITY

Best-Selling Author, World-Renowned Speaker, Pastor

Drawing from his experience as a best-selling author, world-renowned speaker, and leading Resurrection from four people in a living room to the largest United Methodist Church in the country, Adam offers a fresh, honest, and compassionate exploration of Christianity.

Not Just Another Religious Podcast

This isn’t about easy answers or blind faith. It’s about wrestling with doubt, embracing questions, and discovering a hope that can withstand life’s toughest challenges.

Standing in the Radical Center

Making Sense of Faith stands in the radical center—embracing an understanding of God that is built on foundational truths but also progressing toward a future full of love and hope.
