You have left the faith. There is a conversation many believers walking out of institutional church have had, and most of them have not known how to answer. In this episode, host Rolland Wright continues the fresh conversation with Pastor Tim Kurtz, author of Leaving Church, Becoming Ekklesia. Tim opens with a personal story about his mother that he has since repented of. He walks his Boots on the Ground initiative — a systematic training on Ephesians 4 that turns believers from hearers into doers. They open Malachi 3, Matthew 15, and the corban tradition Yeshua confronted. And they sit with 2 Timothy 3 and the man in the mirror. Tim closes with three things: study to show yourself approved, pray for the people who cannot yet see, live it. The doing is the answer.

You'll hear:

• Tim's personal story about lashing out at his mother — and the repentance that followed
• Why the answer to the you've left the faith conversation is not defensive
• Boots on the Ground — Tim's systematic training on Ephesians 4
• The Bible class where Tim asked, what is the work of ministry?
• Working the sound system, folding bulletins, and the machine Paul never imagined
• Malachi 3 and the honor commandment
• Matthew 15 — Yeshua confronting the corban tradition
• How the corban mindset still operates in modern religious life
• 2 Timothy 3 and the last-days list — and the man in the mirror
• The three things Tim wants listeners to hold onto — study, pray, live
• A mutual prayer over the audience
• How to reach Tim if you want to engage further
