Megan Westra is the author of “Born Again and Again: Jesus’ Radical Call to Transformation” and has a Masters of Divinity. She’s also an activists and advocate for the most vulnerable in our society.

In this episode of the “Worth Your Time” podcast, we talked about:

✔️ Megan’s transformation from growing up as a conservative Christian to transitioning to a more curious faith.

✔️ The importance of pursuing your faith with an open hand and not being afraid to ask hard questions.

✔️ The only very recent history of Christianity become so “personal” and indivualized, rather than public and communal — something I didn’t know until I read her book

✔️ Prioritizing those God prioritizes (the orphan, widow, stranger and impoverished — and the iterations those Biblical references take now) and where, as Megan points out, God actually lives!

✔️ How the Church made us both turn marriage into idol and how we don’t want that for our daughters.
