How Pastor Allen Is Reshaping Faith One Garden Gathering At A Time (Part 2) | Pastor Allen Cudahy | A Wise and Happy Life Podcast

What does church look like when you strip away the pressure, politics, production, and lead with grace? 

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, host Bob Martin and Pastor Allen Cudahy explore the rebirth of faith through simplicity, community, and compassion.

Now living in Costa Rica, Pastor Allen shares how he started Garden of Grace, a faith gathering rooted in presence and healing. They dive into what it means to be a “pastor for the nones,” why spirituality is rising even as church attendance declines, and how a lifetime of ministry is now centered around porch conversations, not pulpits.

Highlights:

• "Penance comes after grace, not before." Pastor Allen reclaims the foundation of Christian teaching by flipping the script on guilt, repentance, and belonging.
• You don’t have to go to church to find God. Discover how Garden of Grace creates spiritual connection without walls, meeting people where they are, without pressure or performance.
• Faith after religion is real. Allen and Bob discuss the rise of spiritual seekers who’ve walked away from church but are still hungry for meaning, wisdom, and community.
