  • **My favorite theological podcast **

    This podcast *and community* have played the biggest role in my evolution as a Jesus follower— from one who was taught to “swallow” biblical interpretation without questioning or doubts to one who is beginning to “chew” it through critical thinking and kind & curious examining of the soul. This changes everything folks ✨ Come join!

  • Gives me life and infuses me with hope

    I probably can’t overstate what Inverse is for me at this moment. In a time when I feel like I am barely holding on to my faith, this podcast always draws out those brimming hopeful tears that sting your eyes when something is unexpectedly and breathtakingly beautiful. As I reject the misogyny and white supremacy upon which what I knew as Christianity was built, you guys are helping recover and rebuild something truly glorious.
