Ever thought about questioning the very foundation of your beliefs? Pondered how you think about the universe and your place in it? This is the heart of our conversation with Reverend Alex Lang. Known for his thought-provoking article, Departure: Why I Left the Church, he shares his experiences grappling with growth and fixed mindsets within the church. We journey together to explore how these mindsets impact our spiritual investments and return in the afterlife. 

As we walk through this path, we challenge conventional Christian beliefs and explore how the integration of science into a faith-based worldview can engage younger generations. We meditate on the teachings of Jesus, their power to bring transformative change in the world, and the role of cognitive dissonance in our growth. We also delve into the impact of immigration policies on congregations and the potential repercussions on our church communities.

Dreaming, though often overlooked, can be a powerful tool in shifting individuals from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, and we explore its implications for the church. We reflect on the historical use of church resources and debate on their potential for driving social change. We envision the future of the church, considering the benefits of home-church environments and their role in reducing reliance on institutional structures. This conversation is sure to challenge your perspectives and inspire new ways of thinking about faith and the church.
