87 - Excommunication and Renewal With Brandon Carleton

After growing up religious and then leaving his faith behind, Pastor Brandon Carleton started to feel like he was throwing the baby out with the bathwater. After years of deconstructing, then reconstructing his beliefs, he began to ask questions like: Is there a way to cut through religious dogma and create authentic community? What would it look like to lead from a position of not having all the answers? What if much of what we are so often taught about the Bible is only one of many ways to interpret the text? This vulnerable and contemplative book offers hope to anyone who has felt excommunicated from a traditional faith system. Through stories of trial and error, Brandon Carleton presents a different approach to faith, pastoring, and ultimately, how to find religion meaningful again. www.meaningfulagain.com Support us on Patreon! | www.patreon.com/notyourpastors Twitter, Facebook, Instagram | @notyourpastors Email: notyourpastorspodcast@gmail.com Music: Intro: Bringing Down Broadway Break: “Something Elated” by Broke For Free Outro: “Enthusiast” by Tours
