Episode 41 - Deconstructing Evangelicalism - A Former Pastor’s Journey w/ Brian Recker (Part 1)

What happens when an evangelical pastor starts asking the questions the Church avoids? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Brian Recker—a former evangelical pastor who walked away from the pulpit to pursue a more honest, inclusive form of Christianity. Brian shares his personal journey through deconstruction, the inner tension of leaving behind deeply ingrained beliefs, and how he found a deeper connection to Jesus outside the constraints of his fundamentalist upbringing and the lens of evangelicalism.

We talk about the cost of questioning long-held doctrines, the fear that comes with untangling your faith, and the unexpected freedom that comes on the other side. Brian's story is raw, inspiring, and a reminder that faith doesn’t have to be rigid to be real.
