What if uncertainty wasn’t a weakness in your faith but the very thing that makes it real? In this powerful episode, Pastor Dan invites us into a raw and honest conversation about growing up in rigid religious systems, the suffocating demand for certainty, and the guilt that comes when life doesn’t fit into neat boxes of right and wrong.
Through humor, storytelling, and hard truths, we confront how fear of being “wrong” has divided families, harmed communities, and pushed many away from the church. But here’s the radical shift: what if God actually meets us in the gray? What if love, justice, and mercy are less about absolute answers and more about choosing compassion over control?
From childhood stories about “sippin’ saints” to the woman caught in adultery, this episode peels back the layers of dogma to reveal a faith that breathes, bends, and dares to love in messy places.
Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.
