Ep. 59: Life in the Gray - Our Journeys with God, Church, and Culture [feat. Luther Menard]
When things aren't black or white, we live life in the gray. On this special episode, Derrick reunites with Luther Menard, his former co-host from the 'Life in the Gray' podcast. While listening to old clips from the show, they reflect on their journeys of deconstructing ideas about God, church, and culture in a public manner. This conversation also explores Luther's path towards Eastern Orthodoxy, Derrick's growing struggle with the 'Christian' label, and how to embrace the messiness of the stories we find ourselves in.
