Zack Hunt: Godbreathed
from Shift Happens · host Joe Smith
Zack has spent the last decade writing about the interplay of faith and politics in the public sphere on his eponymous blog, Substack, and Patheos as well as contributing articles to multiple publications. He’s also made appearances in Rolling Stone, The Boston Globe, Huffington Post, and various other media outlets. Zack’s work culminated in the launch of his first book, Unraptured, in 2019 which Publishers Weekly called “a piquant debut.” Using stories drawn from his own faith deconstruction, Unraptured reimagined the biblical theology and application of Revelation to see it not as mysterious code to be unraveled, but a source of hope and liberation, particularly for the least of these among us. His next book, Godbreathed: What It Really Means For the Bible To Be Inspired, was released in the spring of 2023.In this episode, Zack talks about his journey out of fundamentalism and how that affected his world view. Zack talks about learning to be ok with disagreeing with the Bible, how it was a relationship that changed his mind on LGBTQ+ inclusion and how to move forward.
