In this paid subscriber podcast, Timothy and I are joined by Bo McGuffee, founder of the Evolving Christian Faith Network. He helps navigate Christians through re-envisioning what Christianity can be.
We discuss my latest article Can I Return to Christianity? In the process, we explore what it means to have a mature and integrated Christian faith.

I am joined by journalist, author, and gay marriage activist Jonathan Rauch to discuss his recent article in The Atlantic, which is an investigation into America’s long assault on the humanity of gay people. For the majority of the 20th century, the United States waged a war of psychic terror against its gay population. This history is largely forgotten, even by LGBT people.
Read Jonathan Rauch’s article.
