Losing the Way is an investigative-style podcast that asks how modern Christianity, especially evangelicalism, may have drifted from the original “Way” of Jesus. Through thoughtful conversations with scholars, pastors, and practitioners, each episode explores where that drift happened, why it matters, and what it might look like to recover a faith shaped more by Jesus’ life than by culture, power, or certainty. It’s not about tearing down the church, but about rediscovering the path that first made it good news.

Greg Boyd
<p>What if evangelism isn't about having all the answers—but about living a life of love?</p><p>In this episode of the Jesus Collective Podcast, Greg Boyd joins us to reimagine what it means to share the good news in today's world. Together, we explore how evangelism has often become associated with pressure, certainty, and scripted conversations, and why Jesus offered something profoundly different: an invitation to follow him.</p><p>Greg unpacks how faith can flourish without absolute certainty, why doubt can be part of a healthy spiritual journey, and how the way of Jesus calls us to love our neighbours—and even our enemies. The conversation also examines the importance of authentic community, resisting the forces of polarization, and embodying the gospel through lives marked by compassion, humility, and service.</p><p>Whether you've struggled with traditional approaches to evangelism or are searching for a more authentic way to live out your faith, this episode offers a hopeful vision of discipleship rooted not in winning arguments, but in becoming people of love.</p><p>In this episode, you'll discover:</p><p>• Why Jesus invited people to follow rather than simply believe<br>• How certainty can sometimes get in the way of genuine faith<br>• Why love is at the heart of evangelism and discipleship<br>• The transformative power of loving your enemies<br>• How community shapes and sustains authentic faith<br>• A fresh vision for sharing the good news in today's world</p>

Ken Riley
<p>What does it mean to follow Jesus in a world shaped by racial division, injustice, and polarization?</p><p>In this episode of Losing the Way, Preston Ulmer sits down with pastor, author, and ministry leader Ken Riley to explore how the gospel speaks directly to issues of race, justice, and reconciliation. Drawing from both Scripture and his own powerful lived experiences—including being falsely accused of attempted murder as a teenager—Ken shares why conversations about race are not merely political issues, but deeply spiritual ones.</p><p>Together, they discuss the biblical vision of racial unity, the impact of systemic injustice, the role of the church in pursuing reconciliation, and practical ways followers of Jesus can choose people over politics, proximity over polarization, and relationship over rhetoric. Ken challenges listeners to move beyond silence and toward solidarity, reflecting the way Jesus entered into the pain and brokenness of humanity.</p><p>This honest and hope-filled conversation invites us to examine where we've lost our way and discover how the teachings of Jesus can lead us toward healing, justice, and genuine unity.</p>

Joy Qualls
<p>In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Joy Qualls explores the complex relationship between faith, authority, gender, and the church. Together, we examine how patriarchal structures have influenced biblical interpretation, why women's voices have often been sidelined, and what happens when we intentionally listen to perspectives from marginalized communities.</p><p>Drawing from her own journey, Joy reflects on the importance of reclaiming a Jesus-centered faith marked by mutuality, humility, and compassion. She challenges listeners to consider how empathy, global perspectives, and diverse voices can deepen our understanding of God and expand the boundaries of who we believe God can speak through.</p><p>From questions of spiritual authority to the healing power of community, this conversation invites us to discern truth with wisdom, embrace unexpected teachers, and rediscover the voice of Jesus beyond the limits of tradition and power.</p>
