Podcast Overview

This is a podcast about belonging. Belonging to a community of faith, despite that undeniable tension of possibility and mess. Together we will ask questions like: How do we unashamedly love and hope for the church while still honestly holding her failures? How can the church foster spaces of true belonging? How do we find our “fit”? Why should we care at all? Join us as we puzzle through how to reconcile an imperfect church with a perfect savior and our own walk with God.
