I’ve released the trailer and first episode of my new podcast (“The Graham Joseph Hill Podcast”). I’ve provided links to where to listen to the podcast below, and the first episode is “Exvangelicals and the Exodus: Spiritual Lessons for Deconstructing Faith.”

Podcast Description

Conversations about faith, justice, spirituality, culture, theology, the Bible, and the global church.

Graham Joseph Hill OAM PhD is an Australian theologian, the award-winning author of more than 30 books, and a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to theological education. On this podcast, he explores the questions that matter most for Christians today. What can Majority World Christians teach the Western church about mission? How do we follow Jesus faithfully in a post-Christian Australia? What does the Bible say about power, gender, and who gets to lead? How do we hold Christ at the centre when nationalism pulls the church sideways? How should we respond to AI, secularism, and shifting culture? What does a resilient Christian community look like in fractured times?

Episode One: Exvangelicals and the Exodus: Spiritual Lessons for Deconstructing Faith

What happens when the faith you were given as a child stops making sense? A migration is unfolding across Western Christianity, and the Christ-centred mystics saw it coming centuries ago.

In this episode, Graham explores the exvangelical movement through the lens of Scripture, the Christian mystical tradition, sociology, and pastoral theology. He examines the idols that drive people from the church, including certainty, power, nationalism, purity culture, and tribalism. He engages with voices like St. John of the Cross, Simone Weil, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Charles Taylor, and Paul Ricoeur. And he asks what reconstruction looks like for those who’ve walked through the fire, and what the church must learn if it wants to accompany people through the wilderness with honesty, humility, and love.

Book recommendations: “The Dark Night of the Soul” by St. John of the Cross, “Waiting for God” by Simone Weil, and “A Secular Age” by Charles Taylor.

I explore the links between Christian spirituality and public life, shaped by a high view of Scripture, core historic Christian beliefs, and discipleship in the Way of Jesus. I affirm the Nicene, Apostles’, and Chalcedonian creeds as faithful expressions of orthodoxy. My work is grounded in the authority of Scripture, the centrality of Christ, the life of the Triune God, and the gospel’s hope for personal transformation and the common good.
