Dan Henderson joins Michael to discuss his book, Confessions of a Recovering Evangelical, which chronicles his journey of alienation and frustration with traditional evangelical Christianity. Many like Dan are "Nones" and are often traumatized by the transition from a rigid religious world view to a more humanistic open one. They are also usually harassed by family and former friends. Drawing on his many years experience as a former Christian private school teacher, Dan shares how he gave up narrow Bible beliefs, harmful theologies, a gay-bashing attitude, the evangelical behavior-police badge, and racial discrimination to germinate and grow a new, more authentic faith. His story engenders a safe place for others to do the same. Learn how the evangelical and Christian Nationalist movement in the U.S. threatens our culture and democracy and how evangelical belief and practices harm individuals and society. Dan doesn't toss following Jesus or all of the Bible. He shares a vision for moving on to a more humanistic (not a dirty word) and spiritual way of being that emulates the heart of Jesus' teaching.
