Today, Chris Krazter joins the conversation. Chris is the author of two books, Leatherbound Terrorism and Stupid $hit Heard in Church. He is a former ELCA pastor, with a Masters in Divinity, who left Evangelical Christianity for transformation. His books outline his storyline of transformation or "Christian Deconstruction." Chris shares with us the curiosity, doubt, and skepticism he wrestles with on his new journey toward understanding God. 


We discuss things like what confronts and inspires one to question their beliefs. We talk about the problematic ideologies associated within some churches and belief systems of our country. And then the conversation takes a nose-dive into divergence and disagreement to an abrupt ending of the interview. Unfortunately, the guest and I have since parted ways, but I am grateful for his story and sharing of space on this episode, both controversial and contentious, but otherwise a prime example of humans being human.
