God Knows Where
A podcast from a recovering Baptist pastor exploring the richness and complexity of Christian faith by untangling it from hollow, institutional religion. Whether you're deconstructing, reconstructing, or just remodeling your childhood faith, host Brett Harris offers space to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and recover hope, knowing that, while we might wonder what this all means and where life is leading us as we wander through it, God knows where.
Join Brett each week for a new episode…
