What if asking hard questions isn't the opposite of faith...
What if it's actually the beginning of owning it?
In Episode 98 of *What the Hell Do I Know with JB*, Jason sits down with brothers Max Hall and Caleb Hall—filmmakers, musicians, storytellers, entrepreneurs and lifelong preacher's kids—to explore one of the biggest questions facing this generation:
How do you make your faith your own?
Growing up in church, attending Christian school, serving as missionary kids and living under the expectations that often come with being pastor's children, Max and Caleb experienced Christianity from every angle. But eventually both realized inherited faith wasn't enough. They each had to wrestle with God personally.
This conversation explores:
• Growing up as preacher's kids
• Church expectations and perfectionism
• Why every believer eventually has to own their faith
• Deconstruction versus reconstruction
• Why Christianity is durable enough for difficult questions
• The importance of asking "Why?" before "What's right?"
• Making Jesus the center instead of religious systems
• Raising children who feel safe asking questions
• Why authenticity matters more than appearing perfect
• Creativity, filmmaking and telling redemptive stories
• Building Birth Mom Media and creating art that reflects real life
• Finding your purpose without chasing popularity
• Faith, imagination and storytelling
One of the most powerful moments comes when Max explains that Christianity shouldn't fear honest questions because **faith is durable.** Rather than suppressing doubt, he encourages believers to wrestle with it, trusting that truth can withstand scrutiny.
Caleb shares his own journey of realizing that following Jesus couldn't simply be inherited from his parents. Like every believer, he had to decide for himself whether he trusted Christ enough to surrender his own plans.
Whether you're deconstructing, reconstructing, questioning, raising kids or simply trying to follow Jesus more authentically, this conversation is filled with wisdom, grace and hope.
