Finding God in the Waves

Mike McHargue was a Southern Baptist worship leader hiding a secret: a private crisis of doubt had quietly turned him into an atheist while he kept leading his church's music. Finding God in the Waves traces how a chance conversation and a growing fascination with neuroscience and cosmology eventually opened a path back to faith — not the faith he'd left, but a version reconciled with the science he could no longer set aside.

McHargue writes candidly about the isolation of doubting in a community built around certainty, aiming the book at both believers wrestling with science and skeptics who assume faith requires abandoning it.
