In this TALKS Episode Tim engages with Matthew J. DiStefano, author of 'Heretic, Too!', exploring themes of theology, church experiences, and the concept of heresy. They discuss DiStefano's journey from conservative evangelicalism to a more progressive theology, including his views on Christian Universalism and the importance of dialogue in understanding faith. He discusses the challenges of navigating certainty and uncertainty in belief systems, the importance of personal experience in understanding faith, and the need for self-love and acceptance, especially for those in the LGBTQ community.
