- Sixty-five million adults in the U.S. have dropped out of active religious attendance and about 2.7 million more are leaving every year. Today, old assumptions are being challenged in nearly every area of human life, not just religion and spirituality. But by living constructively with doubt, Brian McLaren says, we can leave behind unnecessary baggage and intensify our commitment to what matters most. “Doubt isn’t the opposite of faith,” he explains. “It is an element of faith.” Brian’s new book, FAITH AFTER DOUBT, is for the millions of people around the world who feel that their faith is falling apart.
Using his own story and the stories of a diverse group of struggling believers, McLaren, a former pastor now on the faculty at the Center for Action and Contemplation, explains how questions and doubt are not the enemy of faith, but rather a portal to a more mature and fruitful kind of faith. Tonight, Brian joins Fort Myers Congregational United Church of Christ’s GROW Guest Speaker Series for a conversation on his new book and about journeying into a newer, richer life of faith.
Thanks very much Brian and interviewer who let Brian speak.
Brian McLaren is an enlightened soul; surely one of God's present day prophets. After decades of searching, frustration, doubt, depression, etc. I have finally found answers to my questions.

Jesus Christ would certainly call out the vast majority of so called 'christian' leaders of today, just as he did 2k years ago.
Jesus' commandments of love are being broken everywhere around us.
There is vastly too much emphasis on hate, division, and violence; far less emphasis on love, unity, and forgiveness. May God continue to enlighten His Children; "[His] kingdom come and will be done on earth... as it is in heaven."
My prayer for the modern-day Pharisee, literalist, radical right, close-minded, science rejecting, evangelical is that their eyes and ears would be opened (hardened hearts keep eyes closed and ears covered). Truth has a way of closing the mind and heart.
May we all continue to learn; especially how to obey Jesus Christ's commands to love. May we reach across the aisles to embrace those who disagree with our point of view.
May we always be humble: always considering our limited understanding of Scriptural truths; truths yet undiscovered; and our still immature, infant stature as 'children' of The Almighty.
substantive choice.
Lost me at Pope Francis and the "backlash". You don't understand. You shouldn't pretend you do. Enough liberalism.
It's funny that no matter how intelligent or insightful people are they still have blind 🦯 spots 🦒
