Miranda McCasland on Faith, Intellectual Honesty, and Finding Your People By Serving
Series: Let Love Live Podcast- Season 3
July 20, 2025 | Miranda McCasland
What happens when someone who grew up in church wonders if they can ask big questions? In this episode, Miranda McCasland, Timberline Church's student ministry director, opens up about her journey from inherited faith to personal relationship with God. When her father was diagnosed with a brain tumor when she was 12, Miranda watched how he chose to spend his time—a decision that would profoundly shape her life and faith. Miranda also tackles the loneliness epidemic among Gen Z, challenging the cultural expectation of instant community and revealing how serving others becomes the key to finding genuine Jesus-centered friendship.
