Guest/Bio:

This week I welcome back Dr. Thomas Jay Oord to talk about his recent church trial over his desire to see the Church of the Nazarene move to a position where they're fully LGBTQ+ affirming. We talk about how it took place, whether or not it was a fair trial, and where he goes from here. He also has a new book out, "God After Deconstruction" with Tripp Fuller!
