Manage episode 497190206 series 3526484
Brian Recker is a former evangelical pastor turned public theologian who's challenging the very foundations of Christianity. In his viral content and new book Hell Bent, Brian unpacks why so many of us were handed a spirituality rooted in punishment and how that’s distorted our relationships with God, others, and even ourselves.
In this conversation, Brian shares his personal story of deconstruction and what it means to rebuild a faith based on love, curiosity, and mutual respect. From publicly affirming LGBTQ+ people to questioning hell itself, Brian invites us to rethink everything we thought we knew about Jesus.
