In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua & Ryan chat with Rob Bell and Andrew Morgan about religion, spirituality, and their new documentary, The Heretic, and together they answer the following questions:

• What are a minimalist’s views on religion?
• What resources do you recommend for those interested in incorporating spirituality into their minimalist practices?
• Was it painful when the church turned its back on you, and, if so, how did you move past the pain?
• Do you accept the title of ‘heretic’ like a badge, or do you simply shake it off?
• Do we actually choose our beliefs, or are they a result of an unconscious process?
