Welcome, I’m Jana.
I cultivate genuine conversations and make space for hard questions about Christianity.
This is a tricky space.
I’ve become convinced that the key to authentic exploration of the Christian faith is learning how to really listen to one another’s stories and intellectual reasoning. I created Side B Stories for this very purpose.
This space allows all to engage with the honest stories of skeptics and atheists, many of whom have become Christians, and explore the reasons why people dismiss or come to believe in God.
Everyone can benefit from kind, credible conversations.
Begin by listening to a story.
Then, subscribe to the podcast
So you can examine what you believe.
Side B Stories has more than 300,000 downloads.
