Refreshing and important

For Christians: If you’re serious about getting rid of the log in your own and our collective eyes, this is a must-listen. It’s an opportunity to hear from people whose dedication to the faith pushes them to be critical of the unholy ideas and practices that are corrupting the faith. We have lots to repent of and strive for. For anyone else who is troubled by what Christianity has come to represent in many circles: Here you can hear from people who are equally concerned about those things, who are wrestling with how to be truly faithful, and who are not afraid of a critical conversation or disagreement.

Worth listening to

Dangerous Dogma is always thought-provoking. Even when I disagree, I’m glad I listened.
