Historically the modern evangelical church has been pretty prescriptive about what you must believe. And if you are uncertain in those beliefs, your faith is called into question. What if you could hold spirituality and uncertainty in tension? I believe that you can. And when you do, you understand what it means to be deeply spiritual but rather uncertain.

Interview with Grace Family Church - week 1
Tuesday Mar 15, 2022
Tuesday Mar 15, 2022
I had the chance to sit down with Tom Basson on Zoom recently. Tom is the Co-Senior Pastor at Grace Family Church in South Africa. This was actually for their podcast and goes with a sermon series they are doing called "Asking for a Friend". But I thought it would be worth posting here as well. In this episode, we talk about the damage the church has inflicted on so many people throughout history and sadly still continues to do so.

Compassion vs Holiness
Friday Mar 04, 2022
Friday Mar 04, 2022
All of my life I've been taught about holiness and purity. Be Holy as God is Holy. But what if compassion trumps holiness and purity? In fact what if the politics of holiness is actually doing damage? That's what we are talking about in this week's episode.
I would love to hear your thoughts after you listen. Here's how to get in touch with me...

Let There Be Light
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Several New Testament authors declare that Jesus is the light of the world. But then Jesus says YOU are the light of the world? It's interesting that he never said "You are the truth of the world" We get these confused way to often. In this episode we will unpack what all that looks like.

Deconstruction - good or bad?
Wednesday Feb 02, 2022
Wednesday Feb 02, 2022
Welcome to Season Five (I think) In this episode I want to talk a bit about this idea of deconstruction. Deconstruction is new language for something that goes all the way back to Jesus! What if I told you we are all deconstructing - or if I told you that deconstruction is necessary to faith. Check out this episode and then let me know if you think I'm wrong - or right.

Trust is hard. Control is easy. That's all I have to say about that.

You Are Not Inherently Bad!
Monday May 03, 2021
Monday May 03, 2021
The doctrine of original sin claims that all humans are "born into" sin. In other words, you are inherently flawed, inherently bad. And it's that inherent sin that separates you from God. God is forced to reject you because of it. This doctrine is pretty central to all of Christianity. But what if it's wrong! What if you are - in the words of Genesis 1 - VERY good! What if you never were separated from God?

Why Did Jesus Die... Really?
Tuesday Mar 30, 2021
Tuesday Mar 30, 2021
For so many people deconstruction destroys Good Friday and Easter. The reasons that are given as to why what happened, happened just don't ring true anymore. It seems to me that the problem is that everybody speaks as if they REALLY KNOW! Like this is a piece of absolute truth that they have a handle on. What if nobody really knows for sure? Check out this latest episode as I talk about why Jesus died.
