Amanda Miller-Garber (she/her)
Amanda is the founding pastor of RISE, a radically bold and inclusive faith community. Amidst her responsibilities as a pastor, mother, and mentor (to name a few), she spends her time dreaming and scheming about ways to mend God's creation in community with others.
Tim Estep (he/him)
Tim is an entrepreneur, artist, cinematographer, producer, and superhero. For real, we're pretty sure he's superhuman. Tim is extremely generous with his time and helps folks like us look and sound good. He also graciously teaches us what buttons to push and how to appease the tech gnomes.
Caroline Palmore (she/her)
Caroline is a Veterinary Technician who became part of the RISE community as a college freshman. She is passionate about nature, animals, and the healing power of conversation and community.
"During a rough patch in my life, it became clear to me that there aren't enough spaces for truly honest conversations about faith. This podcast is my way of making a change."
The name "Hardly Christian" was inspired by a one-star review of Amanda and the faith community where she serves as founding pastor. The review commented that Amanda and her church were hardly Christian mostly because of their affirming stance on LGBTQ+ issues. We'd like to reclaim that phrase.
In many faith circles, expressing ideas or feelings contrary to traditional beliefs is seen as shameful or even heretical. We believe that these thoughts and questions are simply human and often the most faithful thing we can do is hold space for them without preconceived notions of the "right answer".
In each episode, our host is joined by a few guests. They draw one listener question out of the basket and discuss it with as much raw honesty as they can.
