Chris Kratzer: A Spiritual Realization That Changed Everything


Listen Later

In this episode, Kim chats with Chris Kratzer, a former conservative evangelical pastor who shares his powerful story of transformation. Chris discusses his shift from a strict, judgmental faith to a more compassionate and inclusive spirituality.

He recalls his early days in ministry, driven by ego and rigid beliefs against women in ministry and LGBTQ+ individuals. A major turning point came when he faced severe anxiety, depression, and a near-suicidal moment, which changed his understanding of God and faith.

Chris emphasizes honesty and the struggle against the control in evangelical circles. He talks about the loneliness he experienced while deconstructing his faith. Despite the challenges, Chris's story is one of hope and renewal, finding a more genuine and compassionate faith.

Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation on faith, honesty, and the power of compassion.
