Join the Conversation: A Live Interview with Dr. Jerry Gladson

What happens when scholarship, conscience, and lived faith collide? Join us for a rare, candid livestream conversation with Dr. Jerry Gladson—author of A Theologian’s Journey Out of Adventism—as we explore the questions, convictions, and costs behind leaving a beloved faith tradition.

This isn’t a takedown or a defense. It’s a thoughtful, human story about wrestling with doctrine, rethinking Scripture, and rebuilding faith with integrity.

Why This Call Matters

• Honest questions, careful answers: We’ll walk through the major themes from our interview outline—origin story, catalyst moments, Scripture and hermeneutics, and the big doctrines (Sabbath, investigative judgment, Ellen G. White, eschatology, grace).

• Institutional realities: How do academic freedom, community pressure, and pastoral care shape what we can say—and can’t?

• A constructive path forward: What does Dr. Gladson still appreciate about Adventism? What does he lovingly—and firmly—leave behind? How is he living his faith now?

If you’re curious, conflicted, or simply seeking clarity, this call is for you. Whether you’re Adventist, ex-Adventist, or exploring from the outside, you’ll find space here for nuance, empathy, and depth.

What You’ll Gain

• Language for your journey: Thoughtful frameworks for doubt, discernment, and spiritual growth.

• Historical and biblical insight: A clearer view of how interpretation shapes belief—and life.

• Community and courage: You’re not alone. Join others navigating similar questions.
