What if you’re not addicted to a substance… but to an identity?

In this clip, Rev. David Moses Perez shares something that hit me in the chest: when his faith framework started falling apart, it felt scary—like he didn’t know who he was without it. So he drove across town to a 12-step meeting… not because he was addicted to alcohol or pills, but because he realized he was addicted to the approval + identity religion had given him.

And when he heard people describe addiction, he found his story in theirs.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even know who I am without this”—you’re not alone.

If love had a doorway… would yours be locked?

In this clip, David Moses Perez describes love as “lowering the fence”—turning on the lights, turning up the heat, unlocking the door, and making room for more people to belong. Not “who’s in vs. out,” not “right vs. wrong”… just a heart that keeps saying: come in.

If you’ve been holding faith, belonging, and questions at the same time—this one’s for you.

Do you cry or tear up when you sing?!? I thought it was just me

Still believe—but differently?
This conversation with Reverend David Moses Perez is for anyone navigating transitions in faith without burning it all down. We talk about the loneliness and the relief of letting certainty get smaller so love can get bigger; the shift from either/or to both/and; and practical ways to rebuild—self-compassion, dropping the rope on arguments, and finding safe people and places.

If you’ve ever thought, “I still believe…just not like that,” hit play.

What if Jesus’ message wasn’t “escape later,” but “repair the world now”?
Liberation theology says the gospel is about the kingdom of God here—good news to the poor, liberation for the oppressed, dignity & welcome for immigrants, and shalom where everyone has enough.

In this clip, Brian Recker breaks down how we read “kingdom” and what it means for how we live, love, and build community today.

“This isn’t who we are.”
10 year ago, Brian Recker’s rose-colored view of evangelicalism cracked. In this clip, he names how that moment wasn’t about politics—it was about the deeper tension between belonging and integrity. This is an invitation to trust your inner knowing when the crowd pulls the other way.
