Most people would define Christian faith as believing a set of Christian beliefs to be true. In some parts of the world, the word "believer" is a synonym for Christian. Defining faith this way has made it primarily about the beliefs in our heads, but this is not how the Bible and the Christian tradition speak about faith. Faith has always been a matter of the heart. Recovering and reconstructing our definition of faith will help us see Christianity as a way of life - a way of living with our hearts centered in God.

The Loft is a progressive Christian community that is unapologetically inclusive. If you're curious about what a socially and politically progressive Christianity looks like, this podcast is for you.
This podcast is the edited audio from our weekly Sunday gathering of people who are interested in following Jesus' spiritual path of radical compassion.
Their are four values that inform and help form our community:
- Conversation is the center of our gatherings. We facilitate a conversational approach to thinking about and living out our faith together.
- Belonging defines who we are and aim to be. We are not isolated individuals but people who belong in divine grace.
- Compassion is God's love in action. It is in serving and helping others – we actively take the good news out into our city and the world.
- Decolonization is our theological approach. We are committed to the ongoing work of decolonizing Christianity in order to better love and serve the world.
