I’m delighted to share today’s episode featuring Rohadi Nagassar, an author, podcaster, and minister who writes and speaks on the topics of decolonization, justice, identity and culture, and deconstructing religion.

In today’s conversation, we’re discussing his brand new book, Whole and Human: Forty Meditations for Liberating Body and Spirit, which releases on May 26th. Our discussion centers on individual and collective liberation as we interrogate the parts of our inherited beliefs that lead to unfreedom as well as the invitations available to us in order to experience flourishing. We discuss the three pillars that form the framework for the book: embodiment, decolonization, and justice.

Rohadi is the author of five books including the forthcoming (May 2026) Whole & Human. Forty Meditations for Liberating Body and Spirit, and his 2022 release, “When We Belong. Reclaiming Christianity on the Margins.” He has served part-time in vocational ministry for the past 17 years. Rohadi lives in Canada, on Treaty 7 Territory, in Calgary, Alberta.

Creator and host of the Faith in a Fresh Vibe Podcast, find Rohadi’s most recent serial series entitled, “Farewell Evangelicalism,” offering multiple guests interrogating contemporary Christianity and its downfall.

He is the founder of RoBarry Publications, home of Robarry Literary agency, founded in 2025. His work experience includes over 25 years in the private sector in marketing consulting and communications, and 15 years of non-profit experience in organizational development and governance.
