And so a big part of my life has been helping people find a way to stay Christian when the forms of Christianity they grew up with feel like a really badly fitting suit of clothes. -Brian McLaren
SHOW NOTES
Steve had an incredible conversation with author, pastor, theologian, and activist Brian McLaren and today is Part 1! Brian’s story resonates with so many of us who feel lost, confused, and in tension about all that is happening in the world and in our hearts.
This podcast will help you feel not so alone - we found Brian incredibly humble, honest, and wise. There's so much truth here - dive in and please, talk to us below in the comments. We would love to hear what you thought about today’s conversation.

Faith After Doubt by Brian McLaren
Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard
Moment to Breathe Music - from Psalms from Scotland: Psalm 139, set to the tune Highland Cathedral.
The First 2 Stages of Faith Development that Brian described:
1. Simplicity (Stage of Dualism)— You’re either for us or against us. It’s all or nothing.
2. Complexity — There’s more than one way to do things. Learning to think for yourself.
(Stages 3 and 4 will be discussed next week in Part 2)
