Sometimes everything can feel like it’s on fire. Like it’s falling apart. When this happens to our faith, it can be alarming. Questions. Doubts. Issues. Sometimes this fire can be destructive and unhelpful. Simply destroying everything in its path. Sometimes fire can be helpful, however. Fire can refine. Reveal. Clarify.
Brian Zahnd, pastor and author, joins the podcast to discuss his new book When Everything’s On Fire: Faith Formed From the Ashes. What does it look like to have a faith that can handle doubt and questions, that can undergo renovations, without needing to throw everything away? What do we do when it seems like everything is being deconstructed, questioned, or left behind? This book spoke to me as one truly formed in the forge of the modern church and many of the issues brought up are ones I have seen and experienced first-hand. Brian walks us through this important issue with wisdom and experience, leading us through a necessary part of the journey we are all on. And….we talk Bob Dylan.
