Pragmatic Christian Podcast

Teresa Blythe is a Spiritual Director, minister, and author. Her latest book is Spiritual Direction 101: The Basics of Spiritual Guidance.

Dr. Vance Morgan tells his story, his fundamentalist upbringing, his deconstruction, time with the charismatics, and his attempted atheism. He could never quite shake God, and relied heavily on his intellectuality until one day he experienced something he never had before. We talk about his love for teaching and what he's learned from his students, as well as some of the lessons he's learned about religion, prayer, and authentic faith.

Simone and Malcolm Collins are the authors of the new amazon best seller, The Pragmatist’s Guide to Life: A Guide to Creating Your Own Answers to Life's Biggest Questions.

Today's guest is Benjamin Vyverberg. Benjamin tells his story about growing up in the church, his relationship with Hell, and how his faith has evolved by reframing problematic past beliefs.

Today our guest is Mitchell Lewis, who talks to Hayden about how his old set of beliefs failed him when it really mattered, and what kind of beliefs helped pick him back up again.
