As former conservative evangelical Christians, Michael Hidalgo and I used to believe that because Jesus is The Way, then all other faiths are inherently incorrect. That kind of belief can make it very difficult to form genuine and loving relationships with people of other faiths in which you can fully appreciate and respect the other person’s beliefs.

In this episode, Michael and I discuss the challenges of our former faiths and what his journey has looked like as he has joined leaders of other faiths to work for justice in his city.

Michael is the lead pastor of Denver Community Church, host of the Changing Faith Podcast, a member of his local Interfaith Alliance, and the author of two books: Unlost: Being Found by the One We Are Looking For, and Changing Faith: Questions, Doubts, and Choices about the Unchanging God.
