Honest conversations with former atheists and skeptics who are now Christians
eX-skeptic is a safe and credible place for all to consider authentic, historic Christianity.
AT Ex-skeptic, WE BELIEVE ALL DESERVE TO EXPERIENCE
Stories of skeptics who found Christianity to be reasonable and relevant.
In a story-driven, conversational podcast and a library of videos and testimonies, Jana Harmon interviews former atheists and encourages both skeptics and Christians to consider what motivates thoughtful, intelligent people to move from disbelief to belief.
Considering Christianity can be disorienting.
You want to be confident that your view of the world is good, relevant, and true. In order to do that, you need to know whether or not Christianity is worthy of belief.
The trouble is, Christianity is largely viewed as a belief system for the weak, delusional, and uneducated. It can be extremely difficult to break through negativity and stereotypes to explore authentic, historic Christianity.
THERE’S A LOT TO EXPLORE.
Consider what you believe
Think about why people doubt, what changed their minds, and what it means for you.
WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE
I let other people do the talking as it related to whether I thought Christianity was something worth exploring, rather than letting the Gospel do the talking. That was a slippery slope.

Each person here has a powerful story to tell about how their thinking fundamentally changed about God, Jesus Christ, life, and reality. My thinking has already been changed and challenged as a committed Christian. I think that skeptics with open minds will find these stories to be real, honest, and challenging.

Hearing people's honest past of dealing with issues of life, morality, the existence of God, and the brokenness of the world has been very beneficial to me. The Side B podcast is a balanced exploration of individuals' views and experiences with God, guided by Jana Harmon’s thoughtful questioning.

eX-skeptic was born from my deep desire to understand how thoughtful, intelligent atheists view Christianity, specifically through the eyes of those whose view of the world has changed dramatically over time.
Through my work, I hope:
