The Progressive Christians Podcast

I am incredibly grateful for this podcast and your insights. Even if i don’t agree 100% on everything that is said i enjoy hearing your opinions and learning from you all. The chemistry and respect between you all is refreshing. I feel like i am constantly nodding in agreement with your views, laughing with your comments and tearing up at the heavy moments. As i have been diving deeper back into my relationship with God with reading through the bible, this podcasts has provided insights more in line with my understanding of the text than what i was taught growing up. I am constantly making notes from Reverend Blair’s explanations for when i get to those books. Looking forward to learning more from you all! 🩷

I have been in the throes of questioning religion, Christianity and spirituality. I used to be a very active Mormon growing up and then when my son was diagnosed with trisomy 18 and we lost him shortly it was a time where I had to question a lot my beliefs. I found God and so much love in this time and really connected to him. But I connected to, and came to understand him in a wildly different way than how I was raised. I felt seen and like my prayers of comfort were being answered, and have used the words “God” and “Christ” to describe this higher power because it was the words I was raised to used and so far that has felt right. But after seeing the truth and corruption of what a strong religion that I truly thought was “true”, I’ve questioned so much. Don’t know if I can’t trust my intuition when it comes to spirituality, or like everything is a lie or we are just so good at manipulating ourselves into thinking something is true. What is “confirmation bias” and what is “god”? But the love and support and miracles I saw before, during, and after my son had passed feel real and always go back to that. But I have felt so lost because so much Christianity I do not align with and so I’ve never felt like I belonged or that it could be true. Your podcast is the first place I’ve found comfort and felt understood, and feel like there is hope that I can still stay Christian and I am not crazy for the lens in which I see it. So thank you for your work 😭 I feel a little less lost when I listen 💛💛

This is an amazing podcast for all Christians! I relate to it so much and it’s such an awesome community. It’s refreshing to find people who actually love and live like Jesus taught us. No BS, no “you’re going to Hell”, just preaching about how Jesus taught us. Two thumbs up!

This show has been instrumental on my journey to deconstructing mainstream religious constructs and discrimination. It has helped me to understand why I had conflicting views as a follower of Jesus with white-washed Christian values. The speakers continually provide evidenced based connections to the Bible and today’s world on how to be a true Christ follower and not just a “Christian.”
