Podcasts for learning about Christianity and God
I feel so uneducated and lost about faith and Christianity. When I was a small girl I used to pray and I truly enjoyed listening to my preacher. One day my family made a point to stop going to church and labeled church goers as fake people who are shady.. I look back on my life and realize I needed my faith so badly during my teenage years. I am adult now and of course feel scared of the unknown. With the birth of my son, I felt God in that moment and I still feel like I'm being guided in some way but I have so many doubts. I want my faith back, the faith that I had as a child. I occasionally attend church but have no idea what Bible references mean and try my best to not listen to the doubts in my mind that God isn't real. Like, "someone just made all this up." How do I know this is real. How do I change my mindset after it being altered by my family? It's hard to put into words what I'm feeling.. I need more information.. I want to learn about the Bible and I need help restoring my faith. Are there any podcasts you recommend that are for beginners?

I think the first step should be reading the Bible for yourself. You need to know what it says to have discernment and to not be easily swayed by nonsense other people spread.

I would recommend watching Cliff Knechtle on YouTube if you're someone who is looking to return.
He doesn't do sermons often but what he often does is defend his faith along with his son.

I enjoy the Whole Counsel of God verse by verse Bible study podcast. https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/wholecounsel/
The same host does another one, Lord of Spirits, that's topic based, focusing on the more supernatural aspects of things and bringing in contextual info from the ancient world. https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/lordofspirits/
The Bible Project's podcast is good, discussing the material behind their videos in more detail. https://bibleproject.com/podcasts/the-bible-project-podcast/
The Ten Minute Bible Hour is daily (weekdays) looking closely at a particular book at a time. They've done Matthew, Esther, Ezra-Nehemiah, and are now on Galatians. https://www.thetmbh.com/tmbh
The Holy Post is enjoyable, more topical and discussion based. https://www.holypost.com/
Some more good ones: The Bible Unmuted https://matthewhalsted.com/podcast/ The Biblical Mind https://thebiblicalmind.org/episodes/ The Bible for Normal People https://thebiblefornormalpeople.com/podcast/
