Maxwell Institute Podcast #186: More to Question, More to Believe, with Dr. Katie Paxman

November 26, 2025

Join Rosalynde Welch for an interview with Dr. Katie Paxman, BYU professor of philosophy visiting the Maxwell Institute to work on a book tentatively titled More to Question, More to Believe. Questions and belief aren't opposites, but partners that expand and build on each other. Dr. Paxman explores the difference between doubt and questioning: doubt is a disposition, while questioning is a tool for seeking knowledge. And she offers a fresh take on Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s famous admonition to “doubt your doubts.”
