Practically Christian Podcast
150 episodes - English - Latest episode: 6 months ago - ★★★★★ - 19 ratingsPractically Christian Podcast is part of Mission Media. Here at PCP we are looking to have a conversation with those who have been dechurched, hurt by the church, walked away from the church, decided the church isn't for them, deconstructed from the church, well you get the picture. Both Debbie and Josh lived that life of just going through motions, and it left us both feeling empty and hurt. We set out on a journey to figure out why if the church is so amazing, it left us both feeling so empty. Too many times we identify as something, in name alone. Jesus doesn't call us to identify simply as Christians, He calls us to lay our lives down and follow Him. Here at PCP we take all that information you got all up in your brain, and we give you real practical applications to live a life on mission. It may sound counter productive, but if we want to fill up, we have to pour out. So if you want to be challenged, if you want to hear the other side of the story, if you want real, everyday practical ways to live out your faith, you have come to the right place!
