Faithfully Uncool is for those living on the edge of certainty, exploring faith, doubt, and the unpredictable life that happens in between. This is a safe place to land with questions and insights about how to stay true to God (whatever that may mean to you), and trust yourself in the process - because good faith doesn't require self-abandonment. Join Jasmyne Michelle, a progressive Christian and Harvard Divinity student as she navigates religion and politics, biblical scholarship, theology, grief, and how to be spiritually curious in a polarized world. Pull up a seat and settle in. "Cool" is overrated.

You're more resilient than...
