Following The Way of Jesus
Growing in The Truth of Jesus
Experiencing The Life of Jesus
Together in Nashville, TN
Welcome to The Way Nashville!
Wherever you are in your spiritual journey—whether you're deeply rooted in your faith, exploring new questions, or simply looking for a space to grow—you’re welcome here. This is a place where curiosity, honesty, and belonging come before having it all figured out.
You don’t have to pretend here. You don’t have to believe perfectly here. You just have to show up as you are.
Sunday Gatherings
We meet in person every Sunday at 5:00 PM (CST). It’s casual, meaningful, and open to anyone.
Who We Are
The Way is a spiritual community for those seeking depth, connection, and a more honest way of living out faith. We’re shaped by the wide diversity of the Christian tradition, and we gather as equals—every person has value and a place here. Our life together leans on the contemplative side of faith, making space for prayer, reflection, and a slower rhythm with God.
We don’t gather around easy answers—we gather around grace, mystery, and the shared pursuit of something deeper.
Each week, we practice a faith that’s spacious and grounded through:
Prayers — ancient and honest
Scripture — wrestled with and rooted in love
Sacraments — experiences of grace where we are
Spiritual practices — rhythms that form us
There’s room for your story here.
Leaders
Zach is the founder of The Way and guides our Sunday gatherings, helping shape the heart and direction of the community. As a spiritual director, he creates space for people to question, heal, and go deeper—spaces where every story is honored and real transformation can take root. His own faith has been shaped by the wide diversity of Christian tradition and by contemplative practices that slow us down to notice God. Zach is also the author of Deconstruct with Jesus, a book for anyone walking through the messy, beautiful work of rethinking faith and finding hope on the other side. You can find his latest writings and podcasts at whatidobelieve.com..
