Is progressive Christianity losing its soul by abandoning church, worship, and leadership? In this episode, Loren talks with Pastor Clint Schneckloth to explore why faith communities, worship, and theological grounding still matter in progressive spaces. Clint pushes back against the tendency to dismiss church as irrelevant or harmful, offering a vision for how ethical leadership, communal worship, and rooted faith can empower justice work rather than distract from it. He also introduces place-sharing as a model for mission and evangelism, showing how churches can engage their neighbors without compromising progressive values—or their faith commitments. In this episode, you'll hear: Why Clint wrote about Progressive Church instead of Progressive Christianity How worship fuels justice, rather than distracting from it The danger of abandoning theological foundations for the sake of inclusivity Reclaiming leadership: Ethical authority in progressive communities Place-sharing: A relational approach to mission and evangelism   Clint Schnekloth is pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas, a progressive church in the South.

(00:00-7:34): Brian and Aubrey shared their thoughts on a tweet from Beth Moore, “I grow increasingly concerned that we have a massive population of people who have placed their faith in Christianity rather than Christ.

Jesus saves.”  (7:34-27:48): Lisa Harper, Speaker, Author, and Bible Teacher, joined Brian and Aubrey to talk about her daughter's adoption story and her books, “LIFE – 100 Day Devotional” and “How Much More: Discovering God's Extravagant Love In Unexpected Places” Learn more about Lisa and her books at lisaharper.net and connect with her on Instagram at lisadharper, on Facebook at OfficialLisaDHarper, and on Twitter at @lisadharper (27:48-37:37): What will the Church look like in the future?
