In this heartfelt episode of "The Dropout Dialogues," Brandon and Chelsea sit down with Ken and Teresa Garner, a couple whose journey through faith, questioning, and ultimately leaving their church positions, paints a poignant picture of courage, change, and the search for authentic community. Ken and Teresa share their experiences of being part of the Church of the Nazarene, from embracing ministry and theological education to facing the challenging realities of institutional expectations versus personal convictions. Their story delves into the complexities of navigating faith, inclusivity, and the pain of leaving behind a life's work for integrity and love. This conversation is a powerful exploration of transformation, the importance of asking hard questions, and the beauty of finding "your people" in unexpected places. Join us as we uncover the depths of what it means to choose love over fear, even when it costs everything.
