Fair Trade Episodes
Fair Trade is a listener favorite in the Faith Unfiltered lineup — a space for honest conversations about faith transitions, spiritual disruption, and the journey toward belonging.
A faith crisis can shake your foundations leaving you filled with doubt, fear, and big questions about everything you thought you knew. It’s often a lonely road. But you are not alone.
In Fair Trade, courageous guests share candid stories of their spiritual journey — what they left behind, what they’re still figuring out, and what led them to Community of Christ. In their stories, many find not just faith, but a renewed sense of peace, identity, and purpose.
Watch for new episodes as they drop and listen in whenever you need a companion on the road of transformation.
