Sara Zarr is a prolific author, a national book awards finalist (which Bryan isn’t bitter about *at all*), and the host of This Creative Life. We talk about why the range for Gen-X is whack, growing up as part of the Jesus movement in the 70s in California, getting exposed to modern evangelicalism, the tendency for cults of personality to manifest in churches, the deep sense of loss when you leave a community (even for good reasons), the phenomenon of feeling like the Holy Spirit is communicating with you, the relationship between Sara’s faith and her writing, and our spicy takes on Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and “Love, Actually.”

P.S. Don’t Tweet on pain meds, nurse’s orders.
