0.1 — Grace Is the Environment Where Growth Happens
Welcome to The Pastor Next Door.
This is Season 0, Episode 1—the beginning of a small, slow, grace-centered project built around one core conviction: grace is the environment where growth happens.
In this opening episode, I introduce the heart behind the podcast and the idea of spiritual fitness—not as striving, productivity, or self-optimization, but as a growing capacity to live from our union with Christ. This is not a podcast about rules, recipes, or becoming impressive. It’s about becoming available.
We talk about:
Season 0 sets the theological and pastoral foundation for everything that follows. Upcoming seasons will explore personal spiritual fitness, faith deconstruction and reconstruction, congregational life, and leadership—always returning to grace as the starting place.
You don’t need to fix your faith to be here.
You don’t need certainty.
You don’t need to arrive.
Just come as you are. Stay as long as you need.
Next episode: A Faith That Endures
Love well, my friends.
