“From Fundamentalist to LGBTQ-Affirming Pastor: A Conversation with Randy Knie" Ep#32

Randy Nye, pastor of Brew City Church in Milwaukee and co-host of “A Pastor and a Philosopher Walk into a Bar,” shares his raw journey from fundamentalist boxing enthusiast to LGBTQ-affirming leader—from a megachurch calling that soured, restaurant friendships that shattered his worldview, a basement church plant amid the emergent movement, to a pivotal sabbatical where he ditched evangelicalism, embraced spiritual evolution, and risked it all to welcome queer folks fully. Packed with moments like shoveling snow in conviction and facing elder fears, this episode of Spiritual Hot Sauce explores deconstruction, biblical gray areas, and compassionate ministry that prioritizes people over ideology.
