The Christian Left and the Christians Who Left with John Pavlovitz and Ken Medema

There’s an old saying, “When the horse is dead, dismount.” Many people are wondering if Progressive Christianity is a well-loved but ultimately dead horse. Has the Christian Left failed to offer people of faith a clear and compelling alternative to the Religious Right? Are people “progressing” right out of organized religion altogether, and is that a bad thing? Why did the Emergent Church retreat so quickly? As we see Conservative Evangelicalism terrifyingly close to theocracy here, is that the sign that the Left has lost the battle for good, or is this disheartening reality necessary to create a truly antithetical movement? Join people of faith, morality, and conscience for an honest, unflinching conversation on the mistakes of the Christian Left, the lessons we need to learn from MAGA Christians, and the opportunity we have to build something more than we might believe is possible. Come with your passionate opinions, deeply held beliefs, and sacred cows, and prepare to leave differently than when you arrived. 📍 Recorded live at #WildGoose2025 #ProgressiveChristianity #ReligiousLeft #WildGooseFestival #ChristianityAndPolitics #FaithAndJustice #MAGAChurch #PostEvangelical #EmergentChurch #Deconstruction #Goose2025
