Jesus Never Ran: Recent Episodes
Matt Kendziera
Stories of people living unconventional lives in order to be difference makers! Ordinary people doing extraordinary things!
After 35 years as a devout, self-proclaimed Jesus freak—spending summers on mission trips, leading Bible studies, and joining the church leadership team—Sarah Henn Hayward has stopped believing in a Higher Being altogether.
She found herself grieving the loss of her core identity and struggling to see a way forward without God at the helm. While she remained grateful for her former faith and the many ways it shaped her, she needed a new lens through which to process good and evil, purpose and meaning.
In Giving Up God, Sarah wrestles for a new identity as she resurrects herself from her former beliefs, exploring new vistas in physics, philosophy, and alternative theologies and drawing inspiration from the natural world.

May is mental health awareness month so I asked my good friend Dr. Justin Meier to join the show again to discuss how faith communities can become trauma informed and resilience building. Justin is currently working on a training to help all who attend faith communities become more knowledgable in this area so we can better care for one another.

Religion has too often put a dark stain on history and has left a lot of destruction in its wake. Because of this, we are at a time in history when many are rethinking religion and faith altogether. The exciting part is that In in the midst of this faith shift lies hope for a better future. A future where faith acts not as an opportunity to oppress but as a catalyst to do good.
Outside of the religious systems of our past life is beginning to bloom as many dedicated people of faith are coming up with new culture changing ideas to create a better and more humane world. The work being done is difficult and time consuming leaving little space for those engaged in it to share their stories. Matt Kendziera uses his voice to elevate the voices of these changemakers.
Stories give courage to the dreamers and hope to the discouraged. Each one has the ability to motivate and inspire the next brilliant idea from the next social entrepreneur or faith leader. Through speaking, writing, and producing Matt brings these stories, causes and thoughts to the forefront so that they can be seen heard and experienced.
Matt has had the honor to work with incredible difference making organizations such as Rachels Challenge, Ashoka, Soularize, Celtic way and others create the space necessary to inspire the world to act out of kindness, compassion and love.
It's easy to get frustrated by the details of life, especially when things go wrong. However, when we set our intentions on loving people instead of being perfect life is filled with far more joy.

The expression of faith in our world is ever changing. We are without a doubt living in the midst of a large cultural shift in the way faith is lived out. As we journey forward, how should our perspectives be different? What dangers can we learn from the history of religion? How do we move forward in a healthy way that connects instead fractures?

If there is a word that best describes our culture today it may very well be "disconnected." We feel disconnected from ourselves, disconnected from each other and disconnected from God. In this episode we search for both causes and answers.

As we journey forward in our life and in faith, one of the most important things will be honesty and truth. Not truth as in we have the ultimate truth or the corner on the truth, but truth about struggles and doubts. This week we learn from a 2nd grader and from a table of curious strangers about how honesty and truth can show up in life and in conversations of faith.

Spiritual leadership is a tricky subject since many of us have been disappointed or even hurt by people who have had that place in our story. In this episode Matt shares about his early faith leaders as a way to see pastors, priests, etc. for what they are; flawed human beings who have been put in a situation that is ripe for failure.

The exciting part is that In in the midst of this faith shift lies hope for a better future. A future where faith acts not as an opportunity to oppress but as a catalyst to do good.
Outside of the religious systems of our past life is beginning to bloom as many dedicated people of faith are coming up with new culture changing ideas to create a better and more humane world. The work being done is difficult and time consuming leaving little space for those engaged in it to share their stories. Matt Kendziera uses his voice to elevate the voices of these changemakers.
Stories give courage to the dreamers and hope to the discouraged. Each one has the ability to motivate and inspire the next brilliant idea from the next social entrepreneur or faith leader. Through speaking, writing, and producing Matt brings these stories, causes and thoughts to the forefront so that they can be seen heard and experienced.

Our experiences with the divine are often what connect us with God more than anything else. However, many of us have been told that our experiences only matter if they line up with a certain theology or understanding of the Bible. Today you will get permission to take back your experiences since they are what our faith is founded on.

In the final of the mini-series about dipping our toes back in the water we discuss the most challenging of the three which is coming back to a faith community. Bible reading and prayer are deeply personal while walking back into a church is a corporate activity.

After going through struggles with religion or church a common response is to stop reading the Bible. This collection of writings has been used in so many hurtful ways throughout history that it's easy to want to give up on it altogether. However, Christianity without the Bible feels lacking. What if we tried to dip our toes back into the pool again and try again to find the meaning and beauty it holds.

Religion has too often put a dark stain on history and has left a lot of destruction in its wake. Because of this, we are at a time in history when many are rethinking religion and faith altogether. The exciting part is that In in the midst of this faith shift lies hope for a better future. A future where faith acts not as an opportunity to oppress but as a catalyst to do good.
Outside of the religious systems of our past life is beginning to bloom as many dedicated people of faith are coming up with new culture changing ideas to create a better and more humane world. The work being done is difficult and time consuming leaving little space for those engaged in it to share their stories. Matt Kendziera uses his voice to elevate the voices of these changemakers.
Stories give courage to the dreamers and hope to the discouraged. Each one has the ability to motivate and inspire the next brilliant idea from the next social entrepreneur or faith leader. Through speaking, writing, and producing Matt brings these stories, causes and thoughts to the forefront so that they can be seen heard and experienced.
Matt has had the honor to work with incredible difference making organizations such as Fierce Freedom, Rachels Challenge, Ashoka, Soularize, Celtic way and others create the space necessary to inspire the world to act out of kindness, compassion and love.
There is hope in the voices and stories of people of faith. When hope emerges, change happens. When change happens, the world becomes a more beautiful place.

How can we chase goodness if we don't get practical about creating a foundation for the goodness we desire to see in this world. It is very easy to identify what and who we are against in this world but it is extremely difficult to do the hard work of overcoming the prejudice that creates in our lives. How do we expect to come together when we pre-judge those whose thoughts and beliefs are different than our own. Is there a way to come together without changing our beliefs. We will never know if we don't try.

Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter become challenging to many who have begun to rethink faith. How do we look at the concept of Jesus death and resurrection if we have re-thought salvation, heaven and hell or God as a whole. Did Jesus die? Did he rise from the dead? Does it matter? Is there a way to engage with Holy Week in a way that brings goodness and not confusion into our lives and in the lives of those around us?
