Living Ourselves Into New Ways of Being with Brian McLaren

About this sermon

How has your experience of faith changed since your childhood? What shifts in the foundation of your faith have you intentionally and unintentionally made?  In this final episode of season 3, Barbara and Donny have a conversation with Brian McLaren about the ways we construct God and how, in many ways, the Christian faith hasn’t fully grasped Jesus’s teachings.  Brian D.
