Why did Almost Heretical start?
Started in 2018, now 2 million downloads later… Almost Heretical was created by Nate Hanson and Shelby Hanson. It is a podcast for those navigating the complexities of faith, deconstruction, and reimagining their relationship with God. It serves as a safe community for individuals feeling disillusioned or seeking a deeper understanding outside traditional church narratives. By tackling topics like theology, gender, canonization, and sexuality, the show offers fresh perspectives and encourages open dialogue. It aims to make Christianity accessible again by demonstrating Jesus’ presence beyond church walls, inviting listeners to a journey of faith transformation and healing.
