Faithful Politics The Real Conversation Jesus Wants Us to Have with Regina V. Cates
Many people struggle with reconciling their faith with the institutional church. In this episode, we sit down with Regina V. Cates, author of The Real Conversation Jesus Wants Us to Have: A Call to Bravery, Peace, and Love, to explore the tensions between Jesus' teachings and modern Christianity. Regina shares her personal journey growing up in a fundamentalist church, wrestling with messages of exclusion, and ultimately redefining her understanding of faith, love, and God. We discuss the historical context of scripture, the challenges of questioning religious authority, and why Jesus' core message of love remains a radical call to action. Whether you're deconstructing your faith or simply looking for a deeper conversation about spirituality, this episode offers a thought-provoking discussion on love, integrity, and justice.
