Lutheran pastor and best-selling author Nadia Bolz-Weber joins Rainn Wilson to discuss why modern life feels so disconnected and overwhelming. They explore the paradoxes of faith, the crisis of community in America, and how the pursuit of comfort and convenience might be eroding our humanity. Nadia shares her radical insights on grace, forgiveness, and why she still believes in organized religion despite its flaws. Plus, they dive into the spiritual consequences of the algorithm-driven world we live in and why true healing requires something greater than ourselves. Nadia Bolz-Weber is a Lutheran pastor, New York Times best-selling author, and the founder of House for All Sinners and Saints, a progressive church in Denver. Known for her unfiltered, no-nonsense approach to theology, she speaks and writes about faith, grace, addiction, and the power of community with raw honesty and humor.
