Today, we do round 2 with Paul Bergman. Our first episode together was so fun that we had to do another one. We chat about how the need for community drove Paul toward organized religion, his strange journey through 33 years in Christian ministry, why he ended up rejecting Christian fundamentalism, people wanting to burn him at the stake, his radical take against mixing nationalism and religion, being placed on a 'heresy trial' three times, the battle within christianity, Lord of the Rings, selling a church to help those struggling, and much more! Enjoy!
