Today, we honor the journey of Benjamin Cremer (Ben), a Wesleyan Pastor, Theologian, and Writer who makes a few waves on social media with his posts that admonish the church to lean into the way of Jesus with compassion, kindness, and love while also leaning away from political power, control and judgment. It's a message that goes against the flow in today's church, but it's a message that is desperately needed. It's not every day a guest brings me to tears, but Ben managed to do it in this episode!To listen to and subscribe to his NEW Podcast "Into the Gray", click here!Click to follow Ben on TWITTER (X), Instagram or Facebook.You can subscribe to his newsletter, Into the Gray, by clicking here.To register for Theology Beer Camp, click here and use the code JOURNEY2024 to save $25!To help me support The New Evangelicals for my December Fundraiser with Celebrity Weekend Over the Edge, click here!If you are interested in learning more about my Life & Faith Transition Coaching or if you just want to read my blog or learn more about what I do, please visit my website at www.leslieneasecoaching.com.

Tim and Sarah Whitaker share their marriage dynamics and evolution of beliefs, emphasizing communication and acceptance. They discuss their journey with The New Evangelicals, the growth of their online platform, and navigating personal and political landscapes with a desire for change.

Michael Camp was an Evangelical Missionary in Africa for seven years and fully immersed and devoted to his beliefs. After a crisis of faith and some serious doubts, he began deconstructing about 20 years ago. Today, Michael has written books, hosts and produces a podcast called Spiritual Brewpub and helps others through deconstruction with his Coaching business. One of Michael's biggest passions is helping people understand that Jesus' message was not a retributive one, but a loving and kind, yet firm message of acceptance and love. His passion is to help others develop a healthy, deep spirituality without violence and fear that is so prevalent in so many Evangelical spaces.You can find his book, Breaking Bad Faith, on Amazon.Find out more about Michael and his podcast, Spiritual Brewpub here. To get on the waitlist for this Fall's Religious Rehab, please email Leslie at leslienease@gmail.com!To donate to Leslie's fundraiser for The New Evangelicals, please click here!Want to meet up with Leslie at Theology Beer Camp in October?
