Today’s guest is Alex Portillo, a pastor and content creator who is on a mission to help folks read the Bible with new eyes. Instead of clinging to black-and-white answers, Alex invites us to explore nuance, contradiction, and the uncomfortable beauty of not knowing.We talk about why doubt isn’t the opposite of faith, how “bad religion” doesn’t have to drive you away from “good religion,” and what it looks like to communicate what you’re learning in a way that opens doors instead of closing them.WATCH EPISODES ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/heatherparady TOPICS FROM THIS EPISODE:Why nuance and contradiction deepen faithHow to move past harmful religion without abandoning GodShifting from certainty to curiosity in your spiritual journeySharing your faith journey without oversimplifying itCONNECT WITH ALEX PORTILLO: Website: https://www.sanberto.com/about LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-portillo-88557537/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmJIn-KGDWeI_TM-MVeDcLg CONNECT WITH HEATHER:Follow Heather on IG: https://www.instagram.com/heatherparady/ Access Full Show Notes Here: https://www.heatherparady.com/blog/118Mentioned in this episode:Join the Community!Join here: https://heatherparady.substack.com/Join the Community!
