Colby Martin on Embracing Change: A Journey from Conservative to Progressive Christianity

We need faith communities where people are safe to ask questions.
Ever wondered what it's like to shift from conservative to progressive Christianity? In this episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell sits down with Colby Martin, a best-selling author and progressive pastor, to discuss just that. Colby is known for his inclusive approach to Christianity, welcoming LGBTQ individuals, embracing other spiritual practices, and valuing science. His vision for a more open and accepting church has touched many, including James himself.
Colby's new book, 'The Shift: Surviving and Thriving after Moving from Conservative to Progressive Christianity', serves as a guide for those navigating this transition. He talks about the importance of welcoming doubt and vulnerability, and creating safe spaces for questioning beliefs. The conversation also touches on the harmful effects of toxic theology and the importance of focusing on building a better future rather than trying to fix others.
If you're curious about the journey from conservative to progressive Christianity, or if you're seeking a more inclusive and accepting faith community, this episode is a must-listen.
