Blake Chastain, host of the popular podcast Exvangelical, joins us to discuss his faith story and what Evangelicals (and others) get wrong about Exvangelicals, how faith shifts impact identity, relationships, parenting, and more. Plus, Blake and Zach discuss the music of Dave Bazan, and what it's meant to them during their faith journeys.
