Bio: Colby has been a pastor for more than 20 years. His first decade took place within the evangelical world he was born and raised in, whereas the past 12 years have been in post-evangelical, progressive Christian churches and spaces. As the author of two books (UnClobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality, and, The SHIFT: a survival guide for becoming a progressive Christian), and a traveling preacher, Colby continues to advocate for an approach to the Christian faith that is rooted in the Way of Jesus, while also being adaptive to the world we inhabit. As a leading voice in the progressive Christian movement, he believes that keeping an open heart and mind is the key to living a life of love and grace for all.
