What happens when your faith no longer makes sense? Brian McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and Life After Doom, joins Rainn Wilson for a deep dive into the personal and societal crises of faith that many are facing today. They explore the psychological impact of religious trauma, why so many struggle with the rigid dogma of organized religion, and how doubt can actually lead to a more profound, harmonious spirituality. The conversation also tackles the intersection of fundamentalist theology, climate change, and capitalism—unpacking how our deepest beliefs shape the world we live in. Thank you to our sponsors!

There is faith after doubt. We conclude our Falling Upward collection by talking about some helpful ways to get us started on our journey of rebuilding and reconstructing our faith.
How can we stay open to ongoing learning and growth, even when we don't have all the answers? In this episode, we're joined by CAC's Dean of Core Faculty, Brian McLaren. Together, we continue our chapter-by-chapter exploration of Eager to Love with Chapter 6: “An Alternative Orthodoxy: Paying Attention to Different Things.” In this episode, we explore the concept of "alternative orthodoxy," examining how Franciscan spirituality, Richard Rohr's personal teachings, and the Christian contemplative tradition challenge conventional religious frameworks and invite us to pay attention to different things. Before Mike and Drew begin the conversation with Brian, Mike and Paul catch up with Richard at his hermitage to hear his reflections on the sixth chapter of Eager to Love. Brian McLaren is the Dean of CAC Faculty. A former evangelical pastor, Brian D. McLaren is a champion for a more loving, inclusive and contemplative Christianity. A faculty member at the Center for Action and Contemplation, he teaches ways to reconnect with the message Jesus lived and died for—unconditional love. He is the author of Faith After Doubt, The Great Spiritual Migration, and host of CAC's podcast Learning How to See. Hosted by CAC Staff: Mike Petrow, Paul Swanson, and Drew Jackson Resources: A PDF of the transcript for this episode can be found here. Grab a copy of Eager to Love here.

“Hypocrisy and self-deception proved to be far greater dangers than uncertainty.” B. McLaren, Faith After Doubt, page 28 This resonated 1000% with me when I read it. One must be in congruence with their personal integrity. It will literally make you ill if you do not. And so, leaning into one's integrity, or one's truth we go on with this journey of faith. Brian McLaren's four stages of faith has been the answer to prayer for many sojourner's on the path of their personal faith journey's. He has broken this concept of faith development down into stages much like psychologists have broken down human development into stages. In fact that was his inspiration.

How has the interplay between gain and loss shaped your life's journey, and what new possibilities does this open up for you now? In this episode, we're joined by two members of the CAC faculty Dr. Barbara Holmes and Brian McLaren as we continue our chapter-by-chapter exploration of Falling Upward with Chapter 12: "New Problems and New Directions." In this conversation, we explore the continuous journey of transformation and renewal throughout all stages of life, reflecting on personal experiences, the rhythms of loss and gain, and the deep wisdom that guides us through both the first and second halves of life. Before we dive in to the interview with Barbara and Brian, CAC staff members Mike Petrow and Paul Swanson catch up with Richard at his hermitage to hear his reflections on the eleventh chapter a decade after he originally wrote it.

Åter igen har jag den stora förmånen att få samtala med Brian McLaren. I maj månad kommer hans nya bok Life After Doom och är den tredje av trilogin Faith After Doubt och Do I stay Christian. Ibland kan livet och världen kännas som undergång och Brian skriver om vägar att navigera livet under och efter mörkret. Jag är fortfarande så överväldigad över förmånen att få vara vän med Brian och kunna skicka ett mail till honom när som helst och faktiskt få svar. Startstruck
It's General Conference weekend! Time to dig up the BINGO cards and park yourself in front of the TV with some cinnamon rolls and a Diet Coke or two, to soak in some inspiration and maybe even encounter some discomfort.We thought we'd release a re-edited episode with Patrick Mason that feels really timely.In this conversation with Patrick, we talked about creating what Brian McLaren has called a “four-stage community.”. The “stages” we're referencing here come from Brian's book Faith After Doubt, and refer to different stages in which people might find themselves in their journeys of faith. McLaren defines these stages as simplicity, where faith is straightforward; complexity, where faith becomes somewhat more complicated; perplexity, the stage where questions become more important than answers and previous faith paradigms often undergo massive shifts; and finally, harmony, where the gifts of each stage are finally realized and integrated.It seems to us that the diverse reactions and feelings engendered by General Conference are often the result of being members of a community in which all four of these stages are manifest. Messages that seem to be tailored to members at a particular stage of faith may not resonate with listeners at a different stage. This can feel like misalignment, and it can sometimes feel jarring.In this conversation, Patrick points to a couple of practices that have helped us turn that dissonance we sometimes feel into a gift: for one, being intentional about deeply listening to those we might be inclined to disagree with, and orienting ourselves toward generosity, asking what virtues and values might they be speaking from. Patrick also pointed out there's a real potential for growth when we choose to stay in relationship with people we disagree with. As Eugene England points out in his essay “The Church is As True as the Gospel,” in many ways, that struggle is the point.Patrick is the Leonard Arrington Chair of Mormon History and Culture at Utah State University and the author of several books including Restoration: God's Call to the 21st Century World. He brought the wisdom, insight, and optimism that he always seems to meld so beautifully. We really hope that you can take what feels valuable in this episode, and use it as we come together in solidarity as a community this weekend, with all our varied life experiences and perspectives to be inspired by and stretched by General Conference.

Leaving the faith system that you grew up in is difficult - and often traumatic and/or life-altering. But doubt need not be the death of faith. In this episode, you'll be provided with guidelines to maintaining one's own comfort level of fidelity to one's principles.

For this week's episode, we're sharing one more talk with you from our Restore gathering in 2022. This was one of our absolute favorite sessions, and it was the final presentation, right at the end on Saturday afternoon. We were privileged to hear from Brian McLaren, who shared his simple and incredibly resonant framework for faith development. It's one that we've referenced before on this podcast, and we think you'll love hearing Brian teach it. Brian does a beautiful job emphasizing that the point isn't to get everyone to a particular “stage” of faith — rather, it's creating a Church and a community where each stage is welcome and included.First, you'll hear Brian give his presentation, and afterward, Tim and Aubrey sit down for a live Q&A with him. We think Brian brought really key insights to both parts of this session. When we listened back, there was so much there that we hadn't fully absorbed, and even if you were with us at Restore last year, we think this one's really worth a listen.For those of you who haven't heard Brian from before, he's a bestselling author, speaker, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for a Christianity that is just, generous, and works with people of all faiths for the common good. He is a core faculty member of The Living School and podcaster with Learning How to See, which are part of the Center for Action and Contemplation. His newest books are Faith After Doubt, released in 2021, and Do I Stay Christian?, which was released in 2022.

As we inch towards Season 2 of AllIn Pod, here are some insights into the stages of faith development, moving from Simplicity to Complexity, then deconstructing to Perplexity and ultimately resolving to Harmony. Brian McLaren might have the best work on these four stages in his book, "Faith After Doubt".

This episode is part II of Valerie and Nathan's reflections on their journey out of orthodoxy. In this episode they respond to the large amount of feedback that the previous episode received by those listening to Valerie's former podcast “Generation Xhausted” and address several questions, including their thoughts on parenting, leaving institutional religion all together, and more. Val also talks about how the human brain as a “three member committee” struggles to meet separate needs and gives a neurological explanation for why faith expansion brings up so much angst in so many people. Book referenced in this episode: Faith After Doubt by Brian McLaren. ************************************************* Contact Valerie at info@valeriehamaker.com to get on a waitlist for one of her space limited processing/support groups mentioned in detail in this episode.
In this episode Val and Nathan open up with a refresher courses on the theories of faith development that have impacted their growth the most and break down a theory that is less about stages of faith and more cyclical in nature. This stage theory breaks down 1. Order 2. Disorder 3. Reorder. They give many examples in pop culture, nature, theology, and myth that illustrates that cycles of birth, death, and rebirth can be found virtually everywhere. This cycle reminds us that Jesus didn't begin the cycle of birth, death, and resurrection, but rather is one sublime manifestation of this pervasive phenomenon. Val and Nathan further talk about why we resist this cycle in our own lives, why this cycle is absolutely necessary to our growth and transformation, and how the cycles of order (birth), disorder (death/suffering), and reorder (rebirth/resurrection) can be found most significantly in our own lives as our own ideas, expectations, paradigms, and desires evolve ever upward.

Do I Stay Christian? addresses in public the powerful question that surprising numbers of people―including pastors, priests, and other religious leaders―are asking in private. Picking up where Faith After Doubt leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity.There is a way to say both yes and no to the question of staying Christian, McLaren says, by shifting the focus from whether we stay Christian to how we stay human. If Do I Stay Christian? is the question you're asking―or if it's a question that someone you love is asking―this is the book you've been waiting for. This is a recording of our book club's virtual Q&A session with Brian, recorded on November 30, 2022. Enjoy!

We've been thinking and talking a lot recently about a phenomenon that sometimes happens and that we've occasionally felt ourselves — something you might call a “spiritual whiplash.” It can happen when we're really uplifted by something: maybe a book we've read, an inspiring group of people we've been around, or even a transcendental experience in nature. We're feeling fed, and our cup is full… but then, we come back down to earth. We're faced with the realities of the mundane, and the imperfections and humanity of the people all around us, including ourselves. So — what are we supposed to do when this happens? Is it realistic to expect to stay in this spiritually uplifted state all the time? What about when even our Church meetings don't feel like they're recharging our batteries, but instead are draining them? When we're feeling fed by something, how do we take that feeling with us to share in our everyday settings and communities, rather than resenting the contrast between them? How can we look at members of our communities as God might, rather than judging them for not meeting our standards — or even judging them for what we perceive as them judging us?To discuss these issues, we brought back a trusted friend and mentor, Patrick Mason. Patrick is the Leonard Arrington Chair of Mormon History and Culture at Utah State University, and a frequent guest on this show and advisor to Faith Matters. He's spoken and written quite a bit on this topic, including in his book Planted. He was an amazing conversation partner as we worked our way through some of these questions. We can't thank him enough for coming back on.As a note, we referenced our recent Restore gathering several times in the conversation, including presentations that were given by Brian McLaren, Jared Halverson, and Jody Moore. We also reference a few faith development frameworks that you'll hear, including Brian's which you can learn more about in his book Faith After Doubt.
In this episode, we were honored to bring back our friend Brian McLaren to talk about his brand new book, Do I Stay Christian?In this new book, Brian addresses a real question which underlies a startling sociological truth: people are leaving Christianity at a rapid pace. In fact, Pew Research shows that today, about 64% people in the US identify as Christian, after falling rapidly from a high of 90% just a few decades back.Brian's book takes an unflinching look at the reasons people might leave Christianity, before spending a lot of time on why someone might choose to stay, as Brian has. But you won't find any “apologetics” here — rather, Brian looks at staying as part of a broader faith journey — one that can take us out of a simple world of black-and-white into a new “stage” of our faith: one filled with paradox, mystery, and love. In one of the most compelling and memorable parts of the book, Brian asks “What if you're really trying to change stages, not religions?”While truly not prescribing any particular path for readers, Brian shows how all people of good will — including those with doubts, questions, and criticisms — can do so much to benefit their institutions and traditions if they choose to stay. We think this book does so much good work to paint compelling reasons for doing so, and to help illustrate a path forward.Brian McLaren an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He is a faculty member of The Living School and podcaster with Learning How to See, which are part of the Center for Action and Contemplation. We'd also recommend going back and listening to Brian's first appearance on the Faith Matters podcast in episode #67, where we discuss his book Faith After Doubt.
In this episode, Brian gives language to the spiritual frustration many of us have felt at times and the importance of stage theories when understanding the maturation of our faith journey. He and Richard discuss the nature of Christian identity, non-dualism, and faith deconstruction. Brian is the author of 'Faith After Doubt' and 'Do I Stay Christian'.

While Ken is traveling on the Civil Rights Tour, he's replaying some of his top podcasts. He's also asking you to check in with your thoughts on the celebration of his 200th Episode.Ken welcomes author, speaker, activist, and public theologian, BRIAN McLAREN to the podcast. It's a rich conversation, worthy of two parts. In Part I, Ken and Brian explore the early years that informed Brian's pursuit of books, theology, the Jesus movement, Calvinism, and a pastorate that lasted 24 years. He began as a professor of English literature, but his curiosity about the world and his quest to integrate it with his faith gave birth to a series of books that have had a powerful impact on a wide audience, including the Beached White Male.

In these five episodes of Season 5, we'll be meeting stunning spiritual entrepreneurs who are making a profound impact as they follow God's call on their lives. They are the recipients of the 2022 Locke Innovative Leader Award. To help us set the stage for these conversations, we begin with Brian McLaren! In book after book (his newest book Do I Stay Christian? comes out in May… we talk about it!), with startling clarity, he lays bare the deeply troubling and the fundamentally beautiful aspects of the church and what it means to be the Body of Christ in the world. Being human, being Christian, is messy and imperfect. Christ, have mercy. And still, God is good. And the Holy Spirit is at work in the world. Our conversation is as challenging as it is hopeful. May it spark new conversations, renewed hope, and new imagination for what is possible. QUOTES “You realize for many people Christianity is defined by adherence to a set of beliefs. You can be a racist. You can be a bigot. You can be an abuser, but you're still an orthodox Christian because of beliefs. So it just raises this question, what does this word even mean?” -Brian McLaren [19:20] “Don't imitate.

Growing up as an Evangelical Christian, I never could imagine that some of the teachings or theology that I was being taught could possible be harmful or damaging. As an adult, I see now that not all teachings are good, just because they might be labeled “Christian”. Many Christian churches and communities have fostered toxic environments and now, there are many, many men and women trying to work through those teachings via some form of faith deconstruction.When I started my own deconstruction, I didn't have trusted guides and the disorientation of it all almost cost me my faith entirely. Luckily, there are wonderful counselors, leaders, and coaches who are helping people walk through deconstruction so that they don't have to give up all the beliefs that have served them well. Our guest this week is Dr. Camden Morgante and she is one of those trusted voices that is helping many safely navigate the deconstruction of toxic Christian cultures. Join us this week and we talk about some of those harmful teachings. ABOUT OUR GUEST:Dr. Camden Morgante is a licensed clinical psychologist and adjunct college professor. She writes and speaks about Christianity, psychology, and gender equality and is a regular contributor to Christians for Biblical Equality's blog Mutuality. She is currently writing a book on the myths of purity culture. Camden also provides Coaching services for purity culture recovery, egalitarianism, and faith reconstruction.

Join host Melinda our Men's Panel, and special guest Brian McLaren as they discuss how DOUBT is an important part of our Faith journey .. but that you can't remain there … and that we must move from doubt toward community, safety and the way of Jesus. Brian McLaren discusses the four stage model of faith described in his book Faith After Doubt, and how his own journey of faith led him to the recognition that our traditions of faith require rejecting certainty and simplicity to fully embrace unity with Jesus. Matt, Art and Chris beautifully share: - How they have experienced doubt in their own spiritual journey, and how did they find their way forward into a new place of Unity with Jesus. - What they have learned about the value of doubt, but also how they recognized that it isn't a final destination and landing place. - What does unity with Jesus look like for them, on the other side of doubt. - Their encouragement to people wrestling with their faith and in the middle of the “perplexity” stage right now.

Yay – Nathan is back! In this episode we follow up with some explanation behind the claims Steve made in the previous episode about how the Bible is not as “inerrant” as we think, although we just scratch the surface.

The journey through doubt is one of the hardest in our lives. On that road, we can feel like we will never leave it again. But there is a path forward for those who can say yes to seeing it. Join Pastor Andrew and Missiongathering for this next installment of Faith After Doubt.
So much of our lives are spent making sure we have lined up and ordered our beliefs. But what if the point isn't neatly compiled systematic theologies? What if the call of faith after doubt is about something deeper and wider than all of that? What if the point the whole time was revolutionary love in action? Join us as we move into faith after doubt.
Our series Faith After Doubt could go in a lot of directions. But I think many of us buy books, go to conferences, listen to podcasts, and come to church. Because the big question we are trying to answer is why did my beliefs stop working? The clearest answer I can give you is because you outgrew it. Join Missiongathering to find out why.
What do we do after we deconstruct our faith? How do we process faith deconstruction in a healthy way? We're learning from Brian McLaren's new book as we learn ways doubt can be a doorway into a bigger, better, more loving spirituality and way of being.

Frank Schaeffer In Conversation with author Brian D. McLaren, exploring his new book, Faith After Doubt; a book for the millions of people around the world who feel that their faith is falling apart._____LINKSwww.brianmclaren.net_____From the author of A New Kind of Christianity comes a bold proposal: only doubt can save the world and your faith. "Will help you live fuller and breathe easier..” ―Glennon Doyle"Deeply reassuring to anyone who questions their faith or the existence of God... McLaren's book teaches us not to fear doubt and how to embody faith after doubt, with suggestions for reflection and action." ―Spirituality&HealthSixty-five million adults in the U.S. have dropped out of active church attendance and about 2.7 million more are leaving every year. Faith After Doubt is for the millions of people around the world who feel that their faith is falling apart.Using his own story and the stories of a diverse group of struggling believers, Brian D. McLaren, a former pastor and now an author, speaker, and activist shows how old assumptions are being challenged in nearly every area of human life, not just theology and spirituality. He proposes a four-stage model of faith development in which questions and doubt are not the enemy of faith, but rather a portal to a more mature and fruitful kind of faith. The four stages―Simplicity, Complexity, Perplexity, and Harmony―offer a path forward that can help sincere and thoughtful people leave behind unnecessary baggage and intensify their commitment to what matters most._____In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer is a production of the George Bailey Morality in Public Life Fellowship.

This podcast is a gentle invitation to discover a way of faith defined by love. Brian and Jason discuss navigating rejection, stepping away from literalism, and inerrancy in our approach to scripture and faith, and their personal journey of trusting that God is better than our best thoughts about Him.

When you set out to create an online course that deals with one of today's most difficult topics, it's good to have experts on your side. Soon, the Lakelands Institute will be launching a course that will help churches learn how to be antiracist, and it begins with understanding the words we use to do this important work. Today, Neal Christie and I talk with Brian McLaren about his book, "Faith After Doubt," the ways our brains are wired toward bias, and how we can be freed to love more fully.
Today's guest, Brant Hansen, wrote a book called “Unoffendable.” He suggests that the idea of having “righteous anger” is a myth and not biblical. There's much peace to be found by recognizing the jacked up state of this world and adjusting expectations accordingly. And it's the right way, according to Brant. Guest co-host Jory Micah provides some valuable pushback to round out the discussion. What about Jesus flipping tables? What about the pissed off prophets? What about the mother of an innocently slain child? At the beginning of the episode, Ellen Mauro, Jack Hoey III and Joey discuss ableism as Joey thinks society as a whole is way too sensitive about the use of words.

Fr. Tim continues his Faith after Doubt series, talking about the "Sin of Certainty."
Fr. Tim begins his sermon series, "Faith After Doubt" by looking at the story of doubting Thomas, and talks a little about his own faith reconstruction story.
We're told that doubts are bad, that they destroy our faith, that they push us away from God, and leave us feeling empty and alone. But what if doubts are actually good? What if doubts actually press us closer to God? What if this journey, if taken together, can actually lead us into beautiful, wide open spaces of possibility? Lectionary Text: John 20.19-31
Brian McLaren joins Peter, Dom and Sue to talk about why sometimes our beliefs stop working and what we can do about it. While many people think of faith as unwavering certainty, Brian explores the idea of doubt as integral to the way of faith; a way which can move through stages with doubt as an adventurous and audacious companion. This conversation is perfect for anyone who has ever felt like a misfit in their faith community, for those who have been made to feel guilty for their lack of faith and for those courageous objectors accused of being a backslider or corrupting influence. Into this place of hurt and confusion, Brian points hopefully to communities of harmony where the search for the genuine is honoured: both in one another and in ourselves.

In this episode, we chat with the one and only Brian McLaren. Brian has given his adult life to the Church in many ways and has created space for followers of Christ who feel like they exist on the margins of faith and Christianity. Brian has written many influential and important books, and in this episode we chat about his newest book: Faith After Doubt. This is a beautiful and brilliant book that will give you all sorts of space and permission to let your doubts come into the light and let them mature and grow your faith (even if that sounds really crazy right now). This was a truly delightful conversation that we're excited to share with you. Brian speaks to a number of different prayers, books, and resources in the episode. Here are all the things that were mentioned during the conversation:Bishop Nikolai Velimirovic: Prayer Regarding Critics and EnemiesMiguel de Unamuno: San Manuel Bueno, MartirMary Doria Russell: The SparrowBarbara Kingsolver: The Poisonwood BibleJohn Westerhoff: WIll Our Children Have Faith?The two whiskeys featured in this episode are Snake River Stampede Small Batch and their 100th Anniversary Limited Release from Snake River Stampede Ale and Whiskey.Support the show

Resurrection is possible. Even in these tumultuous days.
