An Honest Conversation about Institutional Religion.

Jun 28, 2026    Bill Berger

There is a time to plant. And there is a time to uproot. Most of us don't like the second part.

Many people today are questioning the faith, or religion, they inherited. They're examining long-held beliefs, leaving churches, and wondering if there's still a place for them in God's story. Some call it deconstruction. Others call it a crisis. But what if seasons of uprooting aren't always signs of failure?

What if God has always worked through disruption?

In Ephesians 3, Paul describes a mystery that shattered centuries of assumptions about who belonged to God's family. The walls came down. A new kind of community emerged.

Maybe that's a word for our generation. Maybe the church is not disappearing. Maybe it's being reimagined.

Join us as we explore why seasons of questioning can become seasons of deeper faith, why the church may be far more relational and expansive than we've imagined, and why the mystery Paul describes still has the power to reshape our lives today.

A place for all who believe, doubt, and seek.
