n this episode, I sit down with @sarahbessey.bsky.social to talk about editing Braving the Truth, a curated collection of blog posts and essays from Rachel Held Evans that feel as timely now as when they were first written. pod.link/1566243892

I sit down with Preston Sprinkle to walk through one of the most debated questions in the church: women in leadership. We ask what the whole sweep of Scripture actually says about authority, teaching, and the nature of leadership in the kingdom of God. pod.link/1566243892

"It's so much easier to accept that I'm bad and God hates me than that I'm good and God loves me. Which is crazy — because now that I look at scripture, that was the story the whole time." New episode with Kristen LaValley out now. pod.link/1566243892

Fear is shaping more of our lives than we often realize — our decisions, our leadership, our reactions, even our institutions. In this conversation with Michael Leach, we talk about what it actually looks like to move from fear to faith in practical, embodied ways.

Is Christianity really about going to heaven when we die? In this episode, I talk with N.T. Wright about a different story - one rooted deeply in Scripture - where the hope of Christianity is not escape from earth, but God coming home to it. pod.link/1566243892

Every life is a spiritual journey - even when it doesn’t feel spiritual at all. This episode is about paying attention to where God has already been, the work we enter, deep vocation, suffering, grief, and hope. My conversation with @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social: pod.link/1566243892

We live in a culture full of certainty. Strong opinions. Quick answers. And somehow, less curiosity than ever. In this conversation with J.R. Briggs, we talk about why questions matter. What if better questions matter more than better answers? pod.link/1566243892

In this conversation with Nathan Clarkson we talk about moral superiority, shame, confession, cancel culture, and why pretending we’re “the good ones” keeps us stuck. pod.link/1566243892

This conversation with Winfield Bevins about why beauty matters in everyday life. We invite you to notice what’s already present, to live with intention, and to bring beauty into the places we inhabit. And to be more attentive, more grounded, and more hopeful in the way we live pod.link/1566243892

This conversation with @daultradio.bsky.social looks at the Bible as a physical object and how it gets weaponized to protect power or used to make life more possible. How we read the Bible is always a moral act. Listen now: pod.link/1566243892

In this conversation with @ryanburge.bsky.social, we talk about what happens when churches stop being places where people learn how to live together across difference and start mirroring the same political and cultural tribes as everything else. pod.link/1566243892

Empathy has become a contested word. Used, misused, and often misunderstood. In this conversation, we talk about empathy the way Jesus embodied it, not as indulgence or avoidance of truth, but as presence. God drawing near. God feeling with us. pod.link/1566243892

Fear has become the water we’re swimming in. On @shiftingculture.bsky.social, I talk with journalist @billkole.bsky.social about guns in churches, fear-based faith, and how the way of Jesus, rooted in nonviolence, got replaced by power and protection. Listen: pod.link/1566243892

Misogyny isn’t just attitudes - it’s a belief system woven into medicine, economics, sexuality, politics, and even the church. @dorothylgreco.bsky.social joins me to talk about naming what’s broken, how Jesus pushed against these patterns, and what real mutual flourishing can look like.

@revspellers.bsky.social helps us see decline not as defeat, but as an opening. An opening for authenticity. For embodied community. For the Spirit to breathe on dry bones. Listen now: pod.link/1566243892

So many conversations about sexuality and gender miss the actual people involved - young people searching for language, belonging, and honesty. Mark Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky help us think more clearly and love more patiently as we walk with teens through identity and faith. pod.link/1566243892

A lot of us were taught to read the Bible in ways that were shallow or fear-based. Faith Womack offers a different path — one shaped by context, genre, and the big story of God at work. If you’re hungry for a deeper, more worshipful way of encountering Scripture, this conversation is for you.

Many of us learned about God through fear first — fear of hell, fear of messing up, fear of not being enough. I sit down with Brian Recker to talk about moving from fear to love, and how that shift changes our view of God, ourselves, and our neighbors. pod.link/1566243892
