Unbelief

Drinks and Deconstruction: A Roman Catholic Doubting Thomas

Episode Summary

Chris Young grew up Roman Catholic, got rushed through the sacraments because doctors didn’t think he’d live long, and still managed to be a skeptic by age six. This episode is a funny, tender, unexpectedly deep conversation about disability, Catholic guilt, “real presence” logic puzzles, and the moment he realized he couldn’t say the creed honestly anymore. Then something surprising happened. A community made room for his doubts, told him to focus on what he could believe, and that cracked open a way back without pretending.
