From Punk Rock Pastor to Spiritual Outlaw: Rob Bell’s Midlife Reinvention

From Punk Rock Pastor to Spiritual Outlaw: Rob Bell’s Midlife Reinvention

What happens when one of America’s most celebrated pastors dares to question everything?

In this unfiltered conversation, Rob Bell, once dubbed the “punk rock pastor” and author of the explosive bestseller Love Wins, opens up about the controversy that made him Christianity’s most talked-about heretic, why he walked away from his megachurch at the height of fame, and how midlife pushed him to reinvent himself.

From faith and psychedelics to wisdom traditions, AI, and the art of living an unpigeonholable life, Rob’s journey is as provocative as it is inspiring. Whether you see him as a rebel, visionary, or outlaw, one thing’s clear: you won’t walk away from this episode thinking the same.
