Jesus never called his followers "Christians." He called them to something far simpler yet more demanding that centers on one question.

We all try to get around rules. Loophole Christians as, "How close can I get to sin without actually sinning?" But Jesus intended something far better, and for the sake of the next generation, it is time for us to remember.

It's easy to be a church of truth or a church of grace--to be conservative or liberal. But when churches take either of those routes, we have lost Jesus' Way, and deep down, we know something is missing.

Paradoxically, seminary and Bible college can be places where your spiritual life can grow cold. But it doesn't have to be this way. JC Schroeder shares two practices to thrive spiritually while in school. ⏰ Timestamps0:00 Introduction1:11 Practice #15:36 Practice #29:37 Conclusion

Jesus calls his followers to love the way he loved. But we've forgotten: there's a tension in the WAY he loved -- it was messy, inconsistent, unfair, and confusing. So, what does the Forgotten Way of loving like Jesus look like?

The New Testament has something surprising to say...the Forgotten Way of how followers of Jesus should treat people who don't believe in or follow Jesus.

Why is it Christians can be seen as power-hungry, politically motivated, quarrelsome, hateful, hostile and disputatious? Is this really what Jesus intended for His followers?

What Does It Even Mean? For millions, the term "Christian" has come to mean many things, few of them good, and we owe the world an apology. But what does it even mean to be a "Christian"? It's time for us to forget "Christian" and remember the Forgotten Way.

Students, attending college means stepping out into the front line of the war for your faith. In order to hold fast, arm yourself for battle.

Last week, Pesach explained his theology of Jewish-Christian dialogue... and that conversation led to significant discussion on social media. In this episode, Doug and Pesach go over some of the responses to that episode, and discuss what both Jews and Christians hope to achieve through interfaith dialogue. How can Christians better internalize the strong Jewish resistance to any conversionary activity? Is it reasonable to expect Christians to ignore the Great Commission when they interact with Jews? Can Jews respect Christians as Christians, and can Christians respect Jews as Jews? It's a fascinating and timely conversation, predicated, as Doug explains, on true mutual respect. Plus: the US State Department is "deeply troubled" about Israeli plans to add new housing units in the West Bank, and Pesach isn't taking it well.

Our first conversation with someone outside our little bubble is a real gem. Brian McLaren has been immersed in themes of spiritual migration for several decades now, as a pastor and author and activist. We had a chance to ask Brian to reflect on his journey thus far - what he has learned about what truly matters, what might come next for faith, and why we might or might not choose to stay Christian. We highly recommend you check out Brian's new book Do I Stay Christian To join the discussion, visit us on Instagram @meaninginthemiddlepod and in the Meaning in the Middle Facebook group.Cheers!

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!

This is the final live stream QnA from the Do I Stay Christian? online class. It was a complete blast to hang with Brian and a couple thousand readers

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.

audio from Tim Frickenschmidt on October 2, 2022

I get sick when I see how so-called Christians have taken over our name. I am embarrassed to identify with this group of vicious, judgemental people. And yet, I love Christ. Many parts of Christianity feel like it has been hijacked and replaced with something I don't recognize. Author Brian McLaren has written a book for those who feel like we are on edge. Should we jump off the cliff or hang on for a bit longer? This book may be the most important book you read this year (no hyperbole). I hope this conversation with McLaren will resonate with your spiritual journey. Do I Stay Christian? Get his book HERE Visit Brian's website Watch the Interview HERE

At some point in your deconstruction journey, you are probably going to be faced with the question, "Do I stay Christian or do I walk away from this movement altogether?" If that is where you are today, this episode is for you.It's been a minute since Western Christianity has looked anything like Jesus. For the last 1,700 years Christianity has been known more its violence, patriarchy, domination, nationalism, and racism, instead of love and compassion. Christianity jumped the religious tracks a millennia ago. American Christianity is experiencing a rebirth in Christian nationalism, a movement seeking to force its will on the world. It's so bad that many of us no longer even want to be associated with the term Christian. So what's next? Is this movement even worth saving and if so, how do we do it? In this critical episode, Brian McLaren helps us discern the reasons why you should stay Christian as well as a myriad of reasons why you should not stay Christian. But even more important, he ponders what Christianity might look like in the future if those of us in the deconstruction community decide to participate in the recreation and resurrection of a more mystical, ancient form of faith. If you are seriously considering throwing in the spiritual towel, join us for this timely conversation. I think you'll find that Brian offers a way forward through the difficulty and dissonance many of us feel as we navigate this critical question along our faith-seeking journey. BioBrian D.

This week we're joined by author, speaker, and Emergent Church pastor, Brian McLaren (the interview starts at 1:27:00)! His most recent book is entitled “Do I Stay Christian?: A Guide for the Doubters, the Disappointed, and the Disillusioned,” and in it, he attempts to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity by asking some of the toughest and most common questions about their faith. Follow Brian on Twitter (@brianmclaren), visit www.brianmclaren.net for more resources and information, and pick up a copy of “Do I Stay Christian?” wherever books are sold!   …but first, we have to talk about last week. The SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade rocked the country, and there's been little else on most people's minds. Rather than weigh in with opinions that we're certain aren't unique or profound, we thought it might be helpful to walk through the history of the anti-abortion movement in America. You might be surprised to hear that there hasn't always been so much consensus on abortion among Christians, and that it only recently became such a galvanizing social issue. Our retelling is a bit muddled, at times, so for those of you who would like a more linear, cohesive account of the history, we highly recommend an episode of Throughline, an NPR podcast, called “The Evangelical Vote (2019).”
