Welcome to the Still Christian podcast, where we retrace our steps through Evangelical culture--finding a new path forward without abandoning our faith.
Join friends Sarah and Katie as they take a deep dive into how we got here and how to be "Still Christian" in the midst of cultural and spiritual brokenness.
Embracing Third Culture Ambiguity with Holly Berkley Fletcher | S5E6
What about the missionary kids? In our final episode of Season 5, Church Kids: Where Are They Now? , we chat with Holly Berkley Fletcher about a particular subset of church kids--those who grew up overseas on the evangelical mission field and are navigating life in the USA as adults today.
In her book The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism, Holly paints a compelling picture of the implicit harm that occurs when white evangelical missionaries try to cut and paste an American version of the Christian faith onto another culture. Through bravely sharing her story as a missionary kid, Holly invites all of us into a faith that is driven by curiosity, justice, honesty instead of fear and control.
P.S. Still Christian will return with our next season, Begin Again, in the fall. Stay tuned!

Unconditional Belonging with Cara Meredith | S5E5
What change might we witness in future generations of young people if adult Christians emphasized unconditional belonging over the pressure to believe 'correctly'?
In her book Church Camp: Bad Skits, Cry Night, and How White Evangelicalism Betrayed a Generation, author and former camp speaker Cara Meredith wrestles with the complicated legacy of Christian camps in America.
Throughout our conversation, Cara offers a loving critique that celebrates the joys of Christian camp life while also calling such camps to a higher standard ministry, for the sake of our youth and the people who lead them.

Letting Go of Evangelicalism's Nonessentials with Michelle Van Loon | S5E4
In life and in faith, downsizing is a necessary process that helps us move from one phase of growth to the next. Amid what can often feel like a disorienting process, what's okay to let go of and what should we hold on to?
Join us and Michelle Van Loon, author of Downsizing: Letting Go of Evangelicalism's Nonessentials, as we explore releasing the accumulated baggage of religion in order to step into a truer, simpler expression of our faith.
