What happens when the faith you inherited no longer fits the reality you’re living, especially when you’re responsible for passing it on to your kids?

In this episode of Losing the Way, Preston Ulmer sits down with author and faith guide Meredith Miller to explore the tension many parents feel between the Christianity they grew up with and the one they hope their children experience. Together, they dive into the “invisible fine print” of faith certainty over curiosity, fear over love, and answers over honest questions and what it looks like to unlearn those patterns in real time.

Meredith shares insights from her upcoming book Wonder, offering a fresh, life-giving approach to engaging Scripture with kids, one rooted in curiosity, imagination, and openness rather than rigid rules. The conversation gets personal as Preston wrestles with parenting decisions, from explaining difficult Bible passages to navigating youth group influences and redefining what faith practices look like at home.

This episode is an honest, nuanced exploration of deconstruction, parenting, and the courage it takes to model a faith that’s still evolving. If you’ve ever wondered how to nurture a spirituality that’s resilient, compassionate, and big enough for questions this conversation is for you.
