Don Phelps: Faith Unraveling

Send us a text

In this episode, Myles and his dad Don continue their open and honest discussion about Don's faith journey. After leaving the ministry, Don struggled to find meaning and purpose, as his identity had been so wrapped up in being a pastor. He discusses how he gradually started to question his conservative Christian beliefs, as he was exposed to more scientific perspectives that contradicted his theological training. This led Don to eventually move away from identifying as a Christian, and explore more Buddhist principles as a way of finding fulfillment and meaning in his life. The episode explores Don's internal process of losing his firm Christian doctrine, and how he has found comfort in a more fluid, principle-based approach to spirituality.
