070: Articulating Your Own Faith After Religious Control with Ben Cremer


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you are disobeying God or being rebellious when you think independently about your faith? 

For those who have been taught black-and-white answers about Christianity, stepping into the gray can feel unnerving because it calls us beyond the shores of certainty towards something more mysterious. But we know that certainty was never the point.

Ben Cremer joins us on this episode to talk through what it's been like for him to move away from binary thinking. He shares how to be challenged and changed through the practice of listening to marginalized voices, the difference between a false prophet and a true prophet, engaging politics with thoughtfulness, and how to build the faith communities we wish we had.
