On reconciling the findings of critical scholarship with liberal Christianity

Does anyone know of any discussions of biblical scholars discussing how they reconcile the mainstream findings of biblical scholarship with their likely liberal Christianity?

I'm thinking podcast or YouTube interviews or talks would be helpful.

Questions that come to mind are

Jesus and the apostles appear to have been mistaken about the timing and possibly the nature of the coming kingdom. How does that affect your faith in Jesus and your understanding of the kingdom as a person of faith?

Jesus peter and James appear to have only imagined God saving the people of Israel. What do you think of the disagreement between Paul and the judaizers and the eventual marking of ebionites as heretics?

Related to that, Jesus appears to have taught salvation through the law's distillation of love, and forgiveness via repentance. The early church appears to have taught salvation via belief in Christs atoning sacrifice. Which do you think god requires forgiveness or atonement? How do you handle the disconnect?

Basically areas where biblical scholarship highlight real doctrinal differences between the jesus movement or early voices in the church. And where it highlights challenges to nicene Christianity such as Jesus potentially not claiming to be divine during his lifetime.

Of course I'll always welcome anyone who wants to chime in here with their own responses.

Please don't use this post to try to argue against the findings of critical scholarship. The topic at hand is grappling with those findings assuming they're historically true.
