In this episode, Kelly talks with Dr. Robert K.C. Forman, author of “Christianity Imagined,” about how Christianity drew him in, what’s meaningful to him about Christian practice, and what many modern Christians miss about Jesus’ message. Dr. Forman shares his journey through various spiritual practices, describes the church experience that changed everything for him, and defines the distinction between the pre-Easter and post-Easter Jesus as an example for us to follow. This is an important conversation for the “mystics on the margins,” who are in touch with the spiritual, find comfort and power and prayer, but do not necessarily believe in the kind of God that churches traditionally teach about.

Dr. Robert K.C. Forman is a prolific writer, teacher, and spiritual guide. Through his work as a university professor, ordained interfaith minister, hospital chaplain, and more, Dr. Forman has tirelessly studied the intellectual and mystical aspects of human spiritual experience. His latest book, Christianity Reimagined, offers a fresh perspective on faith, illuminating the voices of “mystics on the margins” whose insights challenge and enrich the spiritual landscape.
