Join Jon Rhoades and Dan Stribling on FCC Talk as they dive deep into uncomfortable subjects every church Christian needs to talk about more—addiction, sexuality, sincere doubt, mental illness, and loneliness. From AA meetings and therapy sessions avoiding church gossip on alcoholism and smoking, to loaded topics like premarital sex condemnation, sexual identity struggles, brokenness, frustration, sinful desires, and flawed marital expectations. Hear raw stories of pastors hiding sincere doubt despite apologetics and prayer, feeling hollow in worship songs while questioning God's goodness and ethically questionable Bible parts. We tackle mental illness stereotypes keeping struggles silent and unresolved, pushing beyond prayer-alone failures to encouraging environments with professional help, spiritual healing, and physical healing. Plus, uncover the isolation affecting lonely people, senior pastors, and priests—lacking open communication, vulnerability, honest fellowship beyond free coffee and donuts in the fellowship hall. Addressed with humility, understanding, and grace as fellow hospital patients, not museum curators. This eye-opening podcast episode is a must-listen for believers seeking safe spaces to share burdens and find they're not alone.
