"God Knows Where" is a podcast for people interested in exploring their faith off the beaten path. Maybe you've quit church. Maybe you're experiencing church hurt. Maybe you just want something different than your regular Sunday mornings. Brett Harris is a recovering Baptist pastor who willingly walked away from the pulpit. Join him in exploring the teachings of Jesus and the wisdom of the Christian tradition out in the open to see where God might be leading us. The good news is, if God knows where we're headed, then we don't have to know. We simply have to be open to what (and who) is in front of us to find our way. This journey will lead us to all kinds of questions, maybe even some answers, and corners of Christianity that often get ignored. Season 1 ("I Didn't Say That") took a look at the topics Christians love to talk about, but that Jesus never mentioned. Season 2 ("You've Never Read This") is all about stories in scripture that we never read in Church because they're taboo. Join us!

Healing: War Pigs
There’s one last thing we haven’t talked about when it comes to healing and all the many things Jesus heals folks from in the gospels: how Jesus heals people from, as the gospels put it, the demons that possess them. I could talk about this story for weeks and, I think, never look at it from the same angle. And I hope y’all are ready for a new series. Summer vacation is in full effect and for a lot of kids and churches, that means it’s time for VBS. I've got 12 quintessential VBS storie...

Introducing VBS!
Check out VBS (Very Basic Stories), our summer series here at God Knows Where. Kids get all the fun with skits and songs and snacks at vacation Bible school, but what about us? There are so many great stories that shaped my faith as a child that I dove into deeply at VBS, but I've noticed something. Once we've learned those stories and what we were taught they mean at VBS, we rarely go back and look at them again as adults.Noah's always saving animals. Jonah's always running away from God. Da...

Healing: Catching Strays
Today, Jesus is healing the person we hope never gets healed: our enemy. And to make it harder to comprehend, he’s doing it at his absolute lowest moment. So much much to learn from this brief story from Luke.

Healing: No Fear
Today, Jesus is healing us from the one thing no one can come back from: death. And he’s doing it in a really strange way. As always though, there’s a method in the madness and a message in its midst.

Healing: Blurred Lines
More than anything else in the gospels, Jesus heals blindness, and there’s one story that’s different than the others. I think it rewires how we look at all the stories of Jesus’ miraculous healing in the gospels and the healing we’re looking for in our lives as well. Thanks for listening!

Healing: Pro-Voice
Jesus is unequivocally pro-voice in today’s episode as he restores a mute man’s ability to speak and teaches us why we need to listen to those voices that have been silenced.

Exploring our Faith off the beaten path…
…Is the PERFECT way to describe this show! Every episode has me rethinking a passage in the best possible way and wanting to talk to someone else about it! It helps me grow closer to God and others!
This show reminds me of why I love the Bible
Every episode provides honest and clear insight into a passage of scripture. I am never disappointed and always find new perspectives that deepen my faith and challenge me to be a better person.
Love this podcast series
Sometimes people become disillusioned with religion because of stress placed on doctrinal tenets that can overshadow Jesus’ teachings. As Brett pointed out in a recent episode, it is relatively easy to find Bible verses in support of contradictory positions. For those seeking a deeper relationship with God, this can be confusing and discouraging. Brett helps his listeners rise above the minutia of doctrinal arguments by focusing on Jesus’ teachings of how we should live our lives in relationship to Him and each other. His podcasts are filled with hope and guidance on how to be our best selves in Christ.
