David Gushee

In this conversation,Preston and David Gushee exploree the growing tension between defending Christianity and actually following the teachings of Jesus. Together, they unpack how culture wars, institutional priorities, and shifting values have shaped the modern church — and what it means to rediscover the radical, justice-centered way of Christ. From forgiveness and community to protecting the vulnerable and confronting injustice, this episode is a powerful call back to the heart of Jesus’ teachings and the kind of faith that transforms both people and culture.

What is Losing The Way?

Losing the Way is an investigative-style podcast that asks how modern Christianity, especially evangelicalism, may have drifted from the original “Way” of Jesus. Through thoughtful conversations with scholars, pastors, and practitioners, each episode explores where that drift happened, why it matters, and what it might look like to recover a faith shaped more by Jesus’ life than by culture, power, or certainty. It’s not about tearing down the church, but about rediscovering the path that first made it good news.
