What Is Progressive Christianity? with Dr. Brandon Evans

This week on the Kindred Podcast, Dr. Brandon Evans kicks off our new series Creatively Progressive Christianity. Brandon shares his own journey of faith transformation—how education, openness, and following Jesus led him from conservative beginnings into a more expansive, progressive understanding of Christianity.He reflects on the “slippery slope” of rethinking long-held beliefs, the role of education and experience in reshaping theology, and how progressive Christianity invites us to embrace new information while still deeply following the way of Jesus. Brandon also sets the stage for the weeks ahead, introducing the key questions we’ll be exploring as a community: What do we do with the Bible? Who is God? What does salvation mean? How do we think about gender, sexuality, and marriage through a progressive lens?This message is both personal and invitational—encouraging us to see Christianity not as static, but as a living, evolving faith that centers on love, justice, and continual growthKindred Church is a Christian community gathering in Reno, Nevada.
