In Season 3 we were lucky enough to get to interview one of the poster boys for progressive Christianity, Brian McLaren. He was a Charismatic Evangelical pastor for twenty-four years and is now a progressive author, activist, public theologian. In this episode, we talked with Brian about his book, Do I Stay Christian? which gives reasons why people should stay but also why people should leave. You'll really enjoy this interview regardless of how you now define your spirituality (or lack thereof).

You can find Brian's book here.

In Season 3, we talked with Frank Schaeffer, author and son of the late theologian and Evangelical author, Francis Schaeffer. While Frank was once a teenage fundamentalist, he told us he describes himself as an atheist who believes in God. Frank told his back story and how he went from a founding member of the Religious Right to one of its harshest critics.

Part two of this interview is here.

You can access Frank's website here and his podcast here.
