About Colby.

Colby has been a pastor for over 20 years. His first decade took place within the evangelical world of his roots and education, while the past 12 years have been in post-evangelical, progressive Christian churches and spaces.

As the author of two books (UnClobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality, and, The SHIFT: a survival guide for becoming a progressive Christian), and as a prolific writer at PerspectiveShift.co, Colby continues to be a sought after voice for progressive Christianity.

Currently a traveling preacher, digital pastor, and touring speaker, Colby advocates for an approach to the Christian faith that is rooted in the Way of Jesus, while also being adaptive to the world we inhabit.

He believes that keeping an open heart and mind is the key to living a life of love and grace for all.
