Fear has become the water we’re swimming in.
On @shiftingculture.bsky.social, I talk with journalist @billkole.bsky.social about guns in churches, fear-based faith, and how the way of Jesus, rooted in nonviolence, got replaced by power and protection.

Misogyny isn’t just attitudes - it’s a belief system woven into medicine, economics, sexuality, politics, and even the church.
@dorothylgreco.bsky.social joins me to talk about naming what’s broken, how Jesus pushed against these patterns, and what real mutual flourishing can look like.

So many conversations about sexuality and gender miss the actual people involved - young people searching for language, belonging, and honesty.
Mark Yarhouse and Julia Sadusky help us think more clearly and love more patiently as we walk with teens through identity and faith.

A lot of us were taught to read the Bible in ways that were shallow or fear-based. Faith Womack offers a different path — one shaped by context, genre, and the big story of God at work.
If you’re hungry for a deeper, more worshipful way of encountering Scripture, this conversation is for you.

Many of us learned about God through fear first — fear of hell, fear of messing up, fear of not being enough.
I sit down with Brian Recker to talk about moving from fear to love, and how that shift changes our view of God, ourselves, and our neighbors.

In my conversation with Jenny Marrs, we talk about grief, waiting, fear, adoption, and the small moments where God meets us.
It’s a hope-filled reminder:

God-sized dreams don't happen overnight.
Mark Batterson and I talk about staying faithful when the miracle hasn’t come yet, about long vision, quiet obedience, and the kind of legacy that outlives us.
Transformation rarely happens overnight. It happens gradually, then suddenly
