You just need to find a better husband and a better father for the kids. But then I had this moment of grace where I really felt like all the things I thought about God in terms of judgment and wrathful were completely false.
Imagine spending years in a world of strict rules and judgment, only to find a path to compassion and inclusivity. That’s exactly what happened to Chris Kratzer, a former conservative evangelical pastor. In this episode of 'Flip Your Lid', host Kim Honeycutt sits down with Chris to unravel his powerful story of transformation. Chris opens up about his early days in ministry, where ego and rigid beliefs dominated his life.
He was staunchly against women in ministry and LGBTQ+ individuals, driven by a strict interpretation of faith. But everything changed when he faced severe anxiety, depression, and a near-suicidal moment. This crisis led him to question his understanding of God and faith, pushing him towards a more compassionate and inclusive spirituality. Chris talks candidly about the loneliness he felt while deconstructing his faith and the honesty required to break free from evangelical control.
Despite the challenges, his journey is one of hope and renewal. Through this conversation, you'll gain insights into the struggles and triumphs that come with questioning long-held beliefs and embracing a more genuine faith. Whether you're grappling with your own spiritual questions or seeking stories of transformation, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the power of compassion and honesty.
