The church in a post-modern world is a loaded topic. Today we are dipping our toes into ideas around change. Change is scary. Change is hard. And there’s so much fear around unpacking old beliefs. Especially beliefs about things as important as God + the self.  Why change now? Because it happens anyways and for most of us, it's happening now. If you are deconstructing your theology, taking space from church, or are standing on the sidelines wondering: "Is it possible to integrate and hold onto my spiritual experiences when I’ve grown out of certain beliefs?” This episode is for you!
