Pastor Ryan recaps 2019 and shares an exciting vision for the future of The Well, and local business leader Pam Parkinson shares the power of the personal invitation.
Colby remains obstinately hopeful that the church can still be a force for amazing good in the world. With his wife and Co pastor Kate, they started Sojourn Grace Collective nearly six years ago, a progressive Christian church in San Diego.
Colby is the author of UnClobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality, and his next book comes out next spring titled The Shift.
The Shift is a survival guide for becoming a progressively minded christian. It’s about the scary, confusing, and lonely journey of leaving or being kicked out of your conservative Christian community and finding yourself on the journey toward a more progressive faith.
The Shift features chapters such as:
What to do when the idea of god stops making sense.
What to do with your love/hate relationship with the church.
What to do with your more conservative friends and family who think you’ve gone off the deep end.
But it’s not just about surviving, because the truth is, a life more open, more loving, and more grace filled leads to a flourishing life of thriving.
The Shift will be available April 21, 2020, and today Colby is excited to announce that pre-orders are now available at colbymartinonline.com.

This series is based on Adam Hamilton’s book by the same title Making Sense of the Bible.
Adam invites us into an honest conversation about the Bible with foundational questions such as, How and when was the Bible written? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How literally must we read it? And, Is the Bible ever wrong?
From there, we will consider the real questions people frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and denominations alike, including:
We hope to address these often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.
Sermon Series
Sept. 8- Making Sense of the Old Testament
Sept. 15- Making Sense of the New Testament
Sept. 22- How to Understand the Bible
Sept. 29- The Bible and Science
