We will consider together what happens when we live according to a rhythm, and how that produces an awareness of the sacred, which allows us to live full human lives. Enjoy!

Ted Shimer

On Episode 084 Ted Shimer, author of The Freedom Fight joins us to talk about our brains on p*rn and the impact that has on intimacy, our spiritual lives and its relationship to shame. Over the years, I have walked with countless people through the pain of p*rn addiction. I have seen families wrecked, relationships devastated and lives fall apart. It is a strange thing that people like Billie Eilish, John Mayer and Russel Brand have spoken out about the danger of it. And in the same way magazines like TIME an GQ have also warned about the damage of p*rn. But lately, there seems to be less open talk about it in many Christian circles. So, let's explore this together. To learn more about Ted's work click here.

Molly LaCroix

Molly LaCroix joins the podcast to talk about her new book titled, Restoring Relationships: Transforming Fear into Love Through Connection. Molly walks with us through Internal Family Systems and reflects on the healing that can bring. For those who have experienced pain in relationships - whether betrayal, withholding of forgiveness, abandonment - the lingering question often is, “How do we restore ourselves and these relationships?” And that question is what we will talk about. In this conversation with her, I learned so much and felt invited to continue on the path toward wholeness with a renewed hope. You won’t want to miss this one! Enjoy!

Memory is a funny thing, because we often don't remember well. We often cut and paste and edit in such a way that allows us to keep the parts we don't like hidden away. But what if we learned to look back with greater clarity? What if we learned to tell and retell our story in a way that allowed us to see that memory is a part of me and of you? Perhaps this would allow us to live more integrated lives, that would cause us to be more compassionate, loving and tender toward all people regardless of where they may find themselves on their journey. This episode is the one about memory ... and so much more. Enjoy!

On this episode we observe how bitching - everything from complaining, to calling out, cancelling, tearing down, and character assassinations - are often seen as necessary, and, at times, as the right thing to do. But is there a better way to bring about much-needed and long overdue change? Perhaps there are some questions we can consider together to those who learn to do and live better.

Allison Del Fium

Allison Del Fium joins the Podcast to discuss a word that is thrown around a lot these days: Deconstruction. While deconstruction is needed and tremendously important, there is work on the other side of that too. So what does that process look like? How do we take steps forward? What do we keep and what do we toss? These are some of the questions we explore together. Enjoy!

Atlanta. Boulder. Two more mass shootings that cast us quickly into familiar territory. On this episode we reflect on violence and how it's always been a part of our nation's history. A part of our story that is our national sickness.

One year ago everything shut down, we were forced indoors, ordering takeout became commonplace, Tiger King was a thing, we learned about working at home, our kids were thrown into the world of online learning … our world was reshaped overnight. We were thrown into the unknown. We had zero idea of what we were in the middle of. Today, a year later, we know a bit more, we have adjusted to pandemic life, but we still don’t really know what’s around the corner for us. On this episode we explore a few reflections on this season about memory, time, the future and some thoughts on where we are on our journey. Enjoy!

Episode 076 :: One Year Later

Considering important questions and next steps for those whose faith and spirituality is changing.

Denver Community Church and Michael Hidalgo have changed my life and made me feel less alone in my faith, questioning, and curiosity into subjects considered taboo by much of the American church. I admire Michael’s bravery to be his authentic self and explore where the spirit leads him no matter how uncomfortable. He’s also an excellent podcast host &amp; speaker.

On this episode we explore religious legalism, something many are familiar with. However, the legalism we talk about is not from the Religious Right but from the Religious Left; the legalism found within some parts of Progressive Christianity. While many want to explore what is next in their faith, when exposed to some Progressive Christians they experience discomfort and unease. This is because the same legalism and self-righteousness of poor religion that led them to leave their church is still hanging around in some progressive circles. So what can we do to transcend this and continue our important conversations in a healthier ways? That is what we talk about and explore. Enjoy!

One of the most common questions I receive in my line of work is: What do you believe about ______________ (fill in the blank). When asked this question I never give an answer. However, on this episode I do respond to what I believe about … everything. On this episode I reflect on a conversation I had with a close friend some months ago when he asked, “What do you really deeply believe? Like, what are you willing to die for? Maybe I should say what are you willing to live for, and hang onto as though your life depended on it? Forget everything else; what actually matters? Like if it is not true, it would change the very complexion of the universe? My response? “Easy. Love.” And that was the beginning of our conversation and just the start of this episode.

On this episode we talk about those who have been “Hurt by the Church” - those who have been wounded by organized religion or disillusioned by the word and actions of pastors and faith leaders. Unfortunately far too many of us know this painful experience firsthand. How do we move through it? What can it teach us? How do we forgive? How do we move toward health and not bitterness? Michael shares out of his own experience of being betrayed and wounded by those in the church, his decision to leave the church and eventually to return. The hope of this episode is we might take another step toward hope and healing for those who have been hurt by the Church.

Episode 044 is part three of a three-part series titled, “I’m Still Here” in which we discuss how the Christian Tradition invites us to go beyond itself. This is because religion is something formed and fashioned by finite human beings, and, in its healthy forms, leads us into communion with the infinite Divine Mystery. This is what we witness from the opening words of the Scripture, and an understanding that flows through the narrative. As we wake up to this more and more, we will join with all those who have found themselves saying: Surely, God was in this place, and I, I did not know.”

On Episode 049 we explore darkness, as we are close to the winter solstice; the shortest day of the year for those living in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a time when there is more darkness than light, and a time when many struggle because of the lack of light. But what if there is something for us, not only in the light, but also in the darkness? What can we glean from these short, cold, days of winter? Annie Mesaros, host of The God Help Us Podcast, joins us to share her insight, understanding and experience about darkness - in our world, in ourselves and those dark nights of the soul.

Episode 020 of the Changing Faith Podcast is titled “My Exit Interview” because sometimes we need to go, which is to say, sometimes we need to leave. On this Episode I reflect upon the many questions, conversations and discussions I’ve had in the process of expanding beyond The Evangelical Tribe and shedding the Evangelical label. And I am not alone. Many are saying goodbye and jumping off the Evangelical Ship. So what now? Where to? What’s next? Together we explore taking risks, the health of asking questions and what we can take with us as we go … knowing deep in our bones we cannot stay here.

George Mekhail

George Mekhail, Executive Director of Church Clarity joins the Changing Faith Podcast to talk about how institutions often operate in ambiguity, rather than clarity. And churches are no exception. Many churches fail to disclose their actively enforced policies … Can a woman preach? Will you officiate a same-sex wedding? Will you hire a queer pastor? Answers to these questions often remain elusive. Ambiguity enables those with power to operate without accountability, often causing real harm. Many invest years into a church community, only to later discover the truth about the church’s policies, and end up feeling betrayed, deceived and “bait-and-switched.” Join us to learn why Clarity is reasonable.

And begin the first of a several episode journey focused on intention. How do we live with more intent? How do we live in such a way in which everything we do moves our story forward? We talk about screenwriting, stand-up comedy, figure skating and films as a way of lending understanding of how we can live each day with more intent.

Elyse Snipes

Have you ever experienced a voice within that reminds you of the things you “should” have done? Or the things you wish you had done? Or perhaps moments you look back on and wish you had responded differently? Where you experience regret and wish you could have just one more chance?

Therapist, speaker, retreat leader, and host of the Trailercast Podcast, Elyse Snipes joins us to talk about how we can learn the stories we’ve long told ourselves and how we can learn to tell a new one.

Jonathan Merritt

On Episode 022 Jonathan Merritt joins us to talk about his latest book Learning to Speak God From Scratch. The book is about his about moving from the Bible Belt to New York City, only to find himself mute in a strange land—one that didn’t automatically understand the “Christianese” to which he was accustomed in the South. So he decided to investigate - commissioning both a nationwide study and conducting his own through polling friends and strangers - and delved into a full-on study of linguistics. He reflects, "If we do not use sacred words, then our minds will be less attuned to transcendence. If we do not have spiritual conversations, then we’ll be less shaped by our spirituality. And if moral language is vanishing—with the decline of words like grace, mercy, honest, courage, and wisdom—then we can expect our communities and culture will reflect this shift.” Learn more about Jonathan and his book here: https://www.speakgodbook.com

The question arose over the summer as people talked about those who no longer call themselves “Christian” or stated they were “losing their faith.” Rather than speculate on what led others to that place, Michael considered what it is that has kept him “here” … calling himself a Christian. Together we explore how we often narrowly define Christianity, and how we can open ourselves to the bigger, broader, Tradition. In the end, we just might find that doing this is not about walking away from our faith, but walking more fully into it.
