Rethinking Godwith Tacos
God is like Jesus — and His love is better than our greatest thoughts, our wildest imaginings, and our best theology. Friends, tacos, and remarkable guests.
The gospel is better
than we've been told.
Chris E.W. Green joins Jason for a rich conversation about the goodness of God, the beauty of our humanity, and the healing love revealed in Jesus. Together, they explore how bad theology can contradict what our hearts already know, why sin is better understood through the lens of sickness and healing than punishment and shame, and what it means to be made in the image of the One who heals the world. Chris also reflects on mystery, certainty, prayer, suffering, and the difference between optimism and genuine hope—a hope rooted not in where the world appears to be heading, but in the unchanging goodness of God.
This podcast gave me back a God I could
actually love.
Jason Clark
Author, podcaster, and relational theologian. Telling better stories about God and His love — at the table, on the show, and in the quiet places where the gospel gets reclaimed.
Start here.
Three episodes hand-picked to drop you into the conversation — wherever you're coming from.
Christ in You!
Union, the gospel of John, the always-good nature of God, and the all-inclusive vicarious humanity of Jesus. Baxter reveals the gospel as very good news — Christ in you. Plus, crawfish tacos.
Union: The Heart of the Gospel
From darkness to light, from religion to relationship — Bruce shares his transformation and the case that true spirituality is knowing God as a loving Father, not adhering to religious structures.
Awakening to Beloved Identity
Spiritual awakening, identity in Christ, and the journey from performance-based faith to a relationship rooted in beloved identity — with stories of metanoia and radical encounters with God.
Seven seasons.
One throughline.
Each season is its own era — a different room in the same house. Find the one that meets you where you are.
Mature Voices, Deeper Union
The conversation has grown up. Returning guests. Longer tables. Deeper water. The throughline hasn't changed — we're just further in.
The Community
None of us walk this road alone. The season about finding your people — and what that does to your theology.
The Wider World
Union theology meets culture, art, politics, and the long arc of history. The conversation goes outside the church walls.
The Rebuilding
What do you build when you're building without fear as the foundation? Love stories, all of them.
The Reckoning
The hard conversations. Deconstruction, doubt, what remains after the scaffolding comes down.
Expanding the Circle
New voices, deeper waters. The conversation finds its vocabulary and its audience.
The Origin
Pandemic-era conversations that became a movement. The question that started everything: what if God is better than we think?
Eighteen chapters.
One framework.
Reclaiming the Gospel of Love
Foreword by C. Baxter Kruger, Ph.D.
The 18 chapters of this book are the spine of the podcast — What is the Gospel, The Cross, Union, A Christological Hermeneutic — each theme explores a gospel that looks like Jesus. The chapters highlight years of conversations with remarkable guests. The Guide maps every episode so you can explore the good news.
If the episodes start moving something in you, the book is what you'd read next.
This isn't just a podcast — it's a growing community, and you're invited.
Thousands of people are having these conversations together — wrestling with the same questions, waking up to the same love. The A Family Story community is where that happens between episodes.
Nearly a decade of better conversations.
Every episode, every transcript, every guide is free. Hundreds of conversations, paid for by a growing community of people deciding this matters enough to cover the cost, so the next person doesn’t have to.
It costs us about $1,000 to make a single conversation happen — to book it, record it, edit it, caption it, publish it, and then leave it there, free for whoever needs it.
If something you heard encouraged you, empowered you, or helped you see and experience the goodness of God’s love — if this podcast has led you toward connection and the discovery that you are already included — you can help us make the next conversation possible.
“This podcast challenges, comforts, convicts, and loves all at the same time.”
“Thanks for the fortitude it took to brave the religious dogma that has kept many of us from asking ‘why.’”
