In this special live 100th episode, Jake Doberenz, creator and host of Christianity Without Compromise, reflects on the show’s journey, revisits its ten most popular conversations, and answers listener questions about faith, church, doubt, and Christian convictions. Looking back, Jake explains why Christianity Without Compromise has increasingly focused on clearing away the things Christians treat as essential so that Jesus remains at the center. After 100 episodes of Christian faith conversations, one lesson stands out: strong convictions and intellectual humility do not have to be enemies.
