JEFF BETHKE
Description
Jeff Bethke, best-selling author, speaker, and creator of the viral spoken word video Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus, joins us to explore his personal and spiritual journey. In this episode, Jeff reflects on his challenging upbringing, his path to faith, and how he transformed a moment of internet fame into a lifelong mission of strengthening families and encouraging authentic relationships.
Jeff opens up about navigating complex family dynamics, including his mother's coming out when he was a teenager, and how his evolving understanding of faith has reshaped his life. He also shares insights on the importance of spiritual rhythms, parenting, and living intentionally in a culture of constant change.
Join us for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about family, purpose, and what it means to live a life rooted in love and truth.
Each week, Tim and Troy will sit down with interesting people to have thoughtful conversations. The guests will range from celebrities, athletes, academics, doctors, authors, and more. As Tim battles his ALS diagnosis, nothing is out of bounds and there will be nothing left unsaid.
