Untidy Faith
You’re listening to the Untidy Faith podcast — where we have honest conversations and gentle encouragement for when following Jesus gets messy.
I’m your host, Kate Boyd, author, speaker, and gentle guide for Christians who are disentangling their faith from culture, rebuilding their relationship with Scripture, and desiring to find joy in following Jesus again.
There can be a life of faith after deconstruction. Let’s find yours together.
