193: Unabridged Interview: Nadia Bolz-Weber

This is our unabridged interview with Nadia Bolz-Weber.

“When I left the Christian Fundamentalism of my childhood, I became an activist.”

Christian Fundamentalism is often looked down upon for its dualistic, black-and-white outlook, which is often used for policing behavior. But, Nadia Bolz-Weber explains, these are the same extreme tendencies that she found in secular activism after she left the church.

Later in life, after working as a comedian and entering recovery, Nadia began to untangle the mindset that had taken her from one extreme to the other. Her long journey has since led her to becoming a Lutheran pastor and a three-time bestselling author. In this episode, she tells her story.
