Holding Tension: Faith, Humanity & the Stories We Live - Reed Dent | EP 278

In Episode 278 of It’s My Time Podcast, I sit down with Reed Dent — campus minister, writer, and co-host of the BEMA Podcast — for a conversation that challenges how we approach faith, scripture, and what it means to be human. Reed shares his journey from a Pentecostal upbringing to a more thoughtful, literary, and experience-driven approach to the Bible. Drawing from his background as an English major, he explores how scripture isn’t just about answers—but about meaning, tension, and personal transformation. We talk about: Why faith isn’t a “right vs wrong” equation The importance of asking better questions instead of chasing quick answers How personal experience shapes how we read and understand the Bible The tension between responsibility and influence in human behavior Why stories, not formulas, often lead to deeper truth This conversation is an invitation to slow down, stay curious, and engage faith in a way that’s both intellectually honest and personally meaningful.
