Let’s revisit an older episode of Compass: Finding Spirituality in the Everyday because it’s so relevant for the space we’re inhabiting right now. In this episode, originally released in August of 2022, Brian McLaren joined the podcast to address questions like: “What does it mean to claim the Christian faith when there are terrible things being done in the name of Christianity?” And “Am I still Christian if I believe differently?” In our current era of Christian Nationalism, these questions are once again relevant.
Brian McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – one that is just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He gained a lot of notoriety for writing several well-regarded books, including “A New Kind of Christianity” “A Generous Orthodoxy”, “Everything Must Change”, “Faith After Doubt” (January 2021), and “Do I Stay Christian?” (May 2022).
