SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (RNS) Jason Testerman is a pastor’s kid. He grew up in church. His wife is a Christian. He worked as a missionary in India.
But when people started asking him difficult questions about God and the Bible, he started struggling — there were some questions he couldn’t fully answer.
“I won’t say I felt guilty,” he said. “But I felt like I wasn’t giving sufficient answers.”
Soon, he just couldn’t handle it anymore.
