For decades, evangelical Christianity shaped America’s spiritual landscape—but today, more and more people find themselves searching beyond the familiar labels. In this episode, Dr. David Gushee—author, ethicist, and trusted voice on faith—examines the rise and unraveling of a movement and the unexpected hope waiting on the other side.Drawing from his years of scholarship and experience, Gushee traces the path from passionate beginnings to painful disillusionment: how political entanglement and division have left many believers wondering if there’s anything left to reclaim. Yet within the loss, he sees signs of life—a post-evangelical movement rooted not in nostalgia, but in the genuine teachings of Jesus: humility, courage, and a deeper commitment to healing and inclusion.This conversation offers perspective for anyone sorting through old questions or longing for a more honest spiritual home. What if letting go is only the beginning? For those willing to start again, the future of faith may be wider, braver, and more connected than ever before.
