But every now and then, we get the chance to step onto someone else’s path, to see the world from their perspective, and to learn from their experiences. That’s what we do here on Honoring the Journey. We walk alongside others, explore their stories, and then step back onto our own path—hopefully with new insights, deeper understanding, and a broader perspective for the journey ahead. Honoring the Journey is hosted by Leslie Nease, a former Christian Radio Host, Speaker & Writer and Contestant on Survivor China known as \"Sister Christian\". Leslie has since deconstructed her Evangelical beliefs, but is still deeply connected to God and is seeking to understand faith from every perspective. Let's journey together!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T10:21:20.329814+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/honoring-the-journey-6751564"},"episode":{"title":"Bonus Episode: Let's Talk About the Bible with Former Pastor, Joe Boyd","slug":"bonus-episode-let-s-talk-about-the-bible-with-former-pastor-joe-boyd","published_at":"2026-03-30T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/honoring-the-journey-6751564/bonus-episode-let-s-talk-about-the-bible-with-former-pastor-joe-boyd","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/honoring-the-journey-6751564","url":"https://www.patheos.com/editorial/podcasts/honoring-the-journey","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/afp-13455-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/436ddef1-73dc-47da-9031-10559aad1978/episodes/b4a6c701-c970-43f5-92f0-234b42a009e3/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=436ddef1-73dc-47da-9031-10559aad1978&awEpisodeId=b4a6c701-c970-43f5-92f0-234b42a009e3&feed=Swlbwx2u","summary":"This episode is a deep dive conversation between Leslie and Joe Boyd, a former pastor and biblical scholar, exploring how to approach scripture during deconstruction. They discuss the challenging journey of questioning long-held beliefs about biblical inerrancy, examining how the Bible was compiled, and wrestling with its ancient cultural context versus modern interpretation. Joe explains how evangelicals are often deconstructing their understanding of the Bible itself rather than losing faith entirely, and offers a historical-literary lens for reading scripture that acknowledges its human authorship, biases, and contradictions while still finding spiritual value. The conversation covers topics like biblical canon formation, the multiple versions of Jesus across the gospels, reading ancient texts \"forwards\" rather than through modern assumptions, and ultimately encourages listeners to courageously let the Bible \"be what it is\" rather than what they were taught or want it to be.","meta_description":"This episode is a deep dive conversation between Leslie and Joe Boyd, a former pastor and biblical scholar, exploring how to approach scripture during dec…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3839,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/honoring-the-journey-6751564/episodes/bonus-episode-let-s-talk-about-the-bible-with-former-pastor-joe-boyd/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/honoring-the-journey-6751564/bonus-episode-let-s-talk-about-the-bible-with-former-pastor-joe-boyd.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
