Malynda chats with Pastor and Author Cody Deese of Vinings Lake Church.
Cody Deese is an author, pastor, and spiritual guide exploring what a new way of being human looks like in an age of spiritual upheaval, political polarization, and cultural change.
He is the author of Discovering Your Internal Universe: The Unexpected Good News About Anxiety, Panic, and Fear, a book that blends personal story, psychology, and spirituality to help people navigate fear and find wholeness.
Cody serves as the lead pastor of Vinings Lake Church, an evolving spiritual collective just outside Atlanta, Georgia. The Washington Post described the community as "a unicorn church," while USA Today called it "a refuge for those leaving organized religion."
A graduate of Emory University's Candler School of Theology, Cody writes and speaks at the intersection of faith, politics, relationships, mental health, and personal transformation. He has been married to his wife Katie for more than twenty-three years, and together they live near Atlanta.
