Deconstruction is hard. I can't change that unfortunately... there is no silver bullet for it. But I have in my own journey and in helping thousands of others navigate the journey picked up some things along the way that make it a bit less hard. And honestly, I'd have taken any help I could get at the beginning. No matter where you are at on your journey of deconstruction if you are finding the process hard I'd encourage you to give this a listen and see if there is anything that can make life a bit easier for you.

In deconstructing we can lose so much, our identity, our certainty, our relationship with God as we knew it, our purpose and direction and so much more. But none of those losses stings as much as the loss of family and friends that can occur as we deconstruct. In this video, I share some helpful tips I've picked up along the way you may be able to use as you "come out" to your friends and family. This won't be an easy process but hopefully, some of this makes it easier. Good luck!

So many as they start to deconstruct panic about what is happening to them. Where is this going? Am I going to be OK? Is this normal? Something I've found working with thousands on this journey is that understanding how humans develop psychologically can bring a great deal of insight into what is happening to us as we deconstruct. It turns out we aren't backsliding or falling apart. We are growing up!

Everyone and their mom seems to have an opinion on deconstruction and that often comes with a concept of reconstruction.

In this video, I talk about the phenomenon that is the Deconstructing Christian. It seems everyone and their mom has an opinion about this hot topic right now. But what I've found is most opinions are just that. Opinions. They aren't very rooted in reality. Deconstruction, as experienced by the community of those leaving conventional Christianity, is not to be conflated with the philosophy of Jacques Derrida nor is it to be conflated with the dictionary definition of just taking down a building. There is a lot more nuance at play and it is important we understand what Deconstruction is both if we are going through that process and if we are not!

John MacDonald was the pastor before he had a dramatic encounter with God. Now he leads conferences, speaks at church meetings and retreats as well as working with Fatherheart Ministries on week long 'schools' designed to open up the revelation of Love to the hearts of participants.
