About This Podcast
Ever felt like Christians don't really follow Jesus? Would you consider yourself "spiritual but not religious"? Have you or someone you love been hurt by the Church? If so, this podcast might just be for you. Join Pastor Chris as he breaks down the harmful theology so often taught in churches and "reconstructs" the faith to look a lot more like Jesus.
Pastor Chris is a progressive, LGBTQIA+-affirming, pro-reconciliation, pro-creation Christian. May all who wander here find hope and healing - but most importantly, love.
