“Rebuilding Our Lives After Faith”

In his talk “Rebuilding Our Lives After Faith,” Drew Bekius shares common challenges often experienced among those exiting faith, along with considerations, resources, and potential next steps to help make the navigation process a little smoother than it otherwise would be.

He is the host of Life After Faith, a live call-in show on the Skeptic Haven network, available on YouTube and other social media outlets on Wednesdays at 7 pm Central Time. He is also the author of The Rise and Fall of Faith and Your Next Life Now.

Drew is a coach, writer, and your Resident Heretic at Large. Having done a variety of work in secular and humanist spaces for over a dozen years, his heartbeat is for helping the post-faith crowd navigate life after godstuff.

A former evangelical pastor, Drew has also served as president of The Clergy Project, and he often teaches humanism at the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis, commonly regarded the “birthplace of congregational humanism.”

Drew has a Master of Divinity degree from Moody Theological Seminary, a Bachelor of Arts in pastoral studies from Moody Bible Institute, personal and business coaching certificates from Life Purpose Institute, and a Humanist Celebrant endorsement from The Humanist Society. Drew has two adult daughters. He and his wife Stacie “Apostacie” Marie jump back and forth between homes in Minnesota and the Okanagan in BC, Canada. Find more at drewbekius.com.
