b'This week\\u2019s guest is Daniel. Daniel is a social scientist with a master\\u2019s degree in psychology. He grew up in the United Church of Canada, but church wasn\\u2019t a huge part of his life until high school. He then went to bible college and worked in ministry. He tried to experience God like others were, but it just wouldn\\u2019t happen. He took on the \\u201cOffice of Skeptic,\\u201d for himself. He hoped it would both help his faith and the church. He could articulate questions and doubts that others couldn\\u2019t. Were these miraculous stories true? Was God really even there? If so, what the hell was he doing? Unfortunately, this only kept him in the church longer than he needed. By 2020, he\\u2019d been an agnostic theist for years and was finally seeing the harm done in North America by White Christianity. Now Daniel writes and speaks, sharing his knowledge with those struggling with addictions and other mental health needs. He no longer looks to the supernatural for miracles but knows how much human connection is the true healer. Links Here\\u2019s How Religion Imprints Us \\u2014 Even When We Walk Away
