Josh Scott: Finding Faith Amid Rejection and Resilience
You know when we were talking by email about that, there have been so many of those experiences that I would qualify as being lid-flipping moments... either being an atheist or just not caring about god, like thinking if god is real, god doesn't deserve my energy, my time.
Ever wondered how someone can move from atheism to becoming a lead pastor in a progressive Christian community? In this episode of Flip Your Lid, Kim Honeycutt chats with Josh Scott, the lead pastor of GracePointe Church in Nashville, TN. Josh opens up about his deeply personal journey through grief, trauma, and rejection, which ultimately led him to question his faith and discover a new path back to God.
The conversation dives into the role of the Bible in modern Christianity, breaking down misconceptions, and the importance of creating an inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community within the church. Josh's story is a testament to resilience and the power of self-discovery. As he puts it, 'You, being fully alive and fully yourself and fully free, would be the greatest gift you could give the world'.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with their beliefs or seeking to understand how faith can evolve through life's toughest challenges.
