Parker shares a provocative perspective on why Christianity’s future depends on asking the hard questions, reexamining inherited traditions, and embracing a more humble, Spirit-led approach to faith and community. If you’re tired of shallow answers, this episode will challenge you to live with curiosity, vulnerability, and a radical trust in the ongoing work of Christ in the world.
