Josh Porter

From "Various Teachings." Listen to a midweek lecture with Josh Porter of Van City Church focused on deconstruction, and how we can reclaim faithfulness as an act of rebellion.

Josh Porter, pastor, author, musician, and podcast creator, shares how imaginative prayer can open new ways of encountering God. He leads memory experiments, explores visions and biblical examples, and offers practical steps for creating inner sanctuary practices. Listens to exercises for hearing Jesus speak, walking memories with him, and bringing imagination into daily companionship with the Spirit.

Josh is the lead pastor of Van City Church in Vancouver, WA. He’s also the lead singer of the punk rock band Showbread and is an author and creative prophet. Honestly friends, he’s one of the most theologically sophisticated yet creatively gifted humans I’ve ever met. He’s a provocative prophet who’s not afraid to challenge the status quo and yet, to some people’s chagrin, he’s passionately committed to historic orthodoxy and the authority of Scripture. He doesn’t fit into any single box. He’s a contrarian–in the best sense of the word.  Oh, and he recently released a killer book that bears the title of this podcast: Death to Deconstruction: Reclaiming Faithfulness as an Act of Rebellion.   https://www.joshuasporter.com If you would like to support Theology in the Raw, please visit patreon.com/theologyintheraw for more information!
