Keithen Schwahn : Surviving the Oregon Trail Reconstruct

    • Christianity

To wrap up season 2, we get to hear a conversation with one of our hosts, Keithen Schwahn. He is a Pastor at Church of the City New York, building a movement of young people following Jesus in Manhattan. Keithen's story takes us from rural Wyoming, to the Pacific Northwest, and then to New York City. He walks us through his experiences of many common things that lead a person to deconstruct faith, yet how he came out of those experiences more connected to Jesus than before. Many young people experience an "Oregon Trail" experience with their faith, leaving behind Christianity in search of a life of progress and freedom. Keithen shows us a path leading forward where true freedom is found in a posture known as "generous orthodoxy". Truth, beauty, grace, love, forgiveness, and hope.
