Today we honor the journey of Zach Lambert, the lead pastor and founder of Restore Church in Austin, Texas. Leslie & Zach chat about his background, exploring his spiritual journey from a disenchanted youth in a conservative Southern Baptist environment to becoming a progressive church leader focused on justice, inclusivity, and a holistic interpretation of the gospel. They also discuss the challenges of deconstructing and reconstructing faith, the balance of maintaining relationships with family, and the intricacies of setting healthy boundaries. Leslie and Zach reflect on the broader implications of their faith journeys and how they contribute to a more inclusive, compassionate expression of Christianity.
