You inherited a question that has haunted religious leaders for generations: Why do some people cling to faith their whole lives while others, raised in the same pew, walk away without looking back? If you\u2019ve ever stood at a graveside wondering whether the words you\u2019re saying are reaching anyone, counseled a longtime member who confesses they no longer believe what the creed says, or watched a confirmation class graduate and quietly disappear, you already know that belief and faith are not the same thing. Drawing on evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, and anthropology, this session explores the deep human wiring for religious experience. Examine the crucial distinction between faith as embodied trust and belief as propositional content. Understanding this difference can open up how we preach, teach, and accompany people through the seasons of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tripp Fuller<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a minister, teacher, podcaster, and host of Homebrewed Christianity, one of the most downloaded theology podcasts.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1203570141?h=5f40b0700e&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Wired to Believe, Struggling to Belong: Faith in a Post-Religious Age | June 13, 2026 - Unlisted\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wired to Believe, Struggling to Belong: Faith in a Post-Religious Age A Workshop for Clergy and Lifelong Learners Saturday, June 13, 12:30-3 p.m You didn\u2019t just inherit a congregation.
