In this episode of Small Town Girl with Gwen Faulkenberry, Gwen sits down with Pastor Brad Elrod, a United Methodist minister and longtime friend, for a thoughtful and deeply personal conversation about faith, politics, and belonging. Gwen shares her own journey through faith deconstruction after a difficult season that included running for public office, facing political backlash, and reevaluating her relationship with the church she grew up in. During that time, Pastor Brad’s leadership and the welcoming environment of the United Methodist Church helped provide a space for healing, reflection, and spiritual growth.
