About The Loft LA - Progressive Theology in Podcast Form
The Loft is a progressive Christian community that is unapologetically inclusive. If you're curious about what a socially and politically progressive Christianity looks like, this podcast is for you. This podcast features edited audio from our weekly Sunday gathering of people interested in following Jesus' spiritual path of radical compassion. Regardless of your race, gender, class, sexuality, or where you fall on the spectrum of belief or unbelief, you are welcome at The Loft. Their are four values that inform and help form our community: - Conversation is the center of our gatherings. We facilitate a conversational approach to thinking about and living out our faith together. - Belonging defines who we are and aim to be. We are not isolated individuals but people who belong in divine grace. - Compassion is God's love in action. It is in serving and helping others – we actively take the good news out into our city and the world. - Decolonization is our theological approach. We are committed to the ongoing work of decolonizing Christianity in order to better love and serve the world.

And it also helped us understand what was meaningful to us through loss. Disgust initially started with the gut as a way to keep us safe from ingesting things that could actually physically harm us. But it has continued to evolve as a kind of signal when we are in a situation that is profoundly uncomfortable for us.
