What if you follow Jesus’s teachings—but don’t believe in the supernatural?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Tom Krattenmaker, award-winning author and long-time USA Today columnist, to explore his unique identity as a “secular Jesus follower.” From ethics rooted in the teachings of Jesus to questions about truth, morality and miracles, Krattenmaker offers a thoughtful, humanist perspective on faith in a divided world.
Through humility, honesty and rigorous reflection, he invites believers and skeptics alike into a conversation about what it means to live a good and abundant life—even without traditional religion.
If you’ve ever asked:
“Can Jesus still speak to us—even in a secular age?”
This conversation is your wake-up call.
