Abdu Murray

What comes after deconstruction? In this episode, we talk with AJ Swoboda—pastor, professor, and author of After Doubt and A Teachable Spirit—about why doubt has become so common, why it shouldn’t be the end of the story, and how real spiritual formation takes shape in our lives.

We explore: The limits of “just me and my Bible” Christianity A fresh take on sola Scriptura from a Protestant perspective Why we all carry traditions—whether we admit it or not The value of humility and a teachable spirit Why formation is slower—but deeper—than deconstruction.

With humor, honesty, and pastoral wisdom, AJ offers a compelling vision for rebuilding faith that can last.

AJ Swoboda is a pastor, theologian, and author who teaches Bible, theology, and Christian formation at Bushnell University. He is also co-host with Nijay Gupta of the Slow Theology podcast.
