How often have you felt restricted to spiritual practices that often seem outdated and of little relevance in today’s world? Are you discouraged to express your own creative talents and develop spiritual practices that are uniquely you? The Liturgical Rebels podcast is for people like you who want to reimagine and reconstruct their faith and spiritual practices.
The Liturgical Rebels Podcast empowers followers of Jesus to creatively reconstruct their faith and spiritual practices.

This podcast is for those who don’t want to just deconstruct, but also to reconstruct faith and spiritual practices; those who want to reshape belief and practice to journey closer to God and the wholeness, peace, justice and flourishing God intends not just for us as individuals but for the earth and all its inhabitants.
