Hell Bent with Brian Recker


Listen Later

In this episode, host Rachel Bernstein speaks with Brian Recker, a former evangelical pastor who has transitioned away from fundamentalist beliefs. Brian discusses his journey of self-discovery and deconstruction from the religion that defined his upbringing. The conversation covers his early life, the impact of fundamentalist teachings, and the transition to more inclusive spirituality. Brian shares the concepts from his book 'Hell Bent,' which examines the metaphor of hell and the importance of living a life rooted in love and connection instead of fear and punishment. Rachel and Brian also delve into the challenges of leaving a high-control religious environment and the importance of personal integrity. This episode provides a deep and insightful look into redefining faith and the costs and rewards of navigating such a transformative journey.
