What happens when tragedy shatters your faith, and the God you once believed in becomes the very One you blame?
At just 17, Thad experienced the devastating loss of his stepfather to suicide. The grief brought anger, guilt, and difficult questions about how a loving God could allow such suffering. What had once been a casual, largely unexamined faith gave way to skepticism. By college, Thad was openly questioning Christianity, challenging other believers, and seriously considering walking away from faith altogether.
But the friendships he formed along the way began to change things. Rather than judging him or pretending to have answers to every difficult question, his friends continued to show up, listen, and love him. Eventually, Thad made a deliberate choice to explore faith for himself, diving into Scripture, theology, and the life of Jesus. What followed was not the sudden resolution of every doubt, but a gradual transformation in how he understood God, suffering, and his own life.
In this episode of Undone, Thad shares an honest account of wrestling with grief, confronting skepticism, rediscovering faith, and learning to trust God without having every answer. He also reflects on the influence of authentic Christian community and the challenge of discerning how to use his gifts and pursue his calling as he begins his adult life.
His story is a reminder that faith is not always a straight path, that honest questions need not end the journey, and that sometimes the people who help us find our way back are those willing to walk alongside us without pretending to have all the answers.
