Almost Church

Kicking off a new season where we'll be exploring the map of how we grow spiritually. Each episode will look at the different Stages of Faith - the worldviews that we move up and through as we mature and expand in our faith.

Because of my background in Christianity, we'll be specifically looking at how these stages inform the way we understand the Christian tradition.

My goal with this season is not to convert or convince anyone to see their faith differently. But rather to open us up to understand and connect with ourselves and others more deeply through a richer understanding of the diverse ways we can see our faith, Christianity and God.

Let's get into it!

A night of stouts & storytelling.

The ways we avoid suffering. And the ways it can transform us.

Sometimes we hope that church will save us. But what if we need to be saved from church?

Amanda and the mystics are having an experience.

What do we do with our experiences when they challenge our beliefs? Amanda rethinks Christianity, religion and where God can be found.

What about our faith do we often loose when we grow up ? What do we gain? And what about our child-like faith might be worth reclaiming?

There are times to embrace limits in order to grow. And there are times to let them go. I hope you feel free to embrace whichever is helping you become more free and whole.

Searching for God, our Self and salvation everywhere out there, and finding it in the last place expected. And what to do when pop culture is a sin but you must sing your favorite show’s theme song.
