Brian McLaren Faith After Doubt
“Christian faith, for me, is no longer a static location but a great spiritual journey…what matters most…is not where we are but where we’re going." This podcast is a gentle invitation to discover a way of faith defined by love. Brian and Jason discuss navigating rejection, stepping away from literalism, and inerrancy in our approach to scripture and faith, and their personal journey of trusting that God is better than our best thoughts about Him.
Jason Clark is a relational theologian, storyteller, husband, and dad who believes the gospel is better than the last time we checked. He's the author of several books, the host of Rethinking God with Tacos, and lives in Cornelius, NC, with his wife, Karen, and their four kids.

What Light!!! Prefect timing for me. I do not appreciate the one who tells me something new as much as the one who puts into words that which I know is true, but have been unable to articulate for myself!
Five Heart rating ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ for beauty and clarity
Thank You both
Thanks, my friend! I enjoyed connecting with Brian and felt what you did; I was given new language and clarity for the journey. I also very much enjoyed our convo yesterday and am excited about sharing it with the world!
Lots of love!
This was really encouraging. I wrote down this quote and have a feeling it’s going to be with me for life. ““It’s better to be rejected for who you actually are than accepted for a false image of yourself.” Been there, doing that. Good to be among friends. 🙂
Hey Tineke, I really enjoyed this conversation and am so thankful for Brian.
Yeah, I thought that was a really good quote as well. I am watching your bravery from a distance and praying grace and joy and life and connection.
Thank you, Jason! That means a lot. I’m stumbling along, not always as gracefully as you guys, but I’m thankful to have such positive examples of love.
