Podcast appearances and mentions of christian deconstruction

Is deconstructing your faith a path to deeper belief or total doubt? In this episode, Mike Stone breaks down the growing conversation around faith deconstruction—why people question Christianity, what leads some to walk away, and how others come out with an even stronger faith.

Christian deconstruction: depending on your theology, it's either a dangerous movement of postmodernism in the Church, seducing young people away from orthodoxy, or a new Reformation of Christistianity, replacing certainty, dogma and control with honesty, love and a messy approach to faith. In this episode (Part I of II), the gang talk deconstruction, what it means to us, what we've gained and what we feel we might have lost because of that journey. We also feature the stories and reflections of special guests (one more special and less guesty than the others) who discuss whether they feel they have deconstructed and why. Listen for some laughs, some thoughts about what deconstruction offers and means, and also for Jonty's niche conspiracy theory about Trent Reznor #reversesatanicpanic. Please share this with your deconstructing friends (and friends who fear the deconstruction movement), and message us with your thoughts on and experiences with deconstructing.  Part II is coming soon! About Beer Christianity Beer Christianity is an anti-capitalist, pro-BLM, pro-LGBTQ+, anti-imperialist, post-post-post-evangelical podcast where we drink a bit and talk a lot. Our aim is to be real, helpful and entertaining. Beer Christianity also has a newsletter in which Jonty and guest authors comment on the news, theological issues and stuff that matters. He updates it according to his own wildly inconsistent neurodivergent schedule, but it's a good read. Sign up to the Beer Christianity newsletter on Substack.  Support Beer Christianity… Putting the show together costs a bunch of money in hosting fees, editing software, equipment and time.

Follow Beer Christianity on Twitter: @beerxianity and find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and, probably, loads of other places. We love hearing from listeners.

There's also a connected Show With Music on Spotify called New Old Music. Check it out if you like eclectic music and random chat. Other things… Malky's design work has graced many good magazines and music videos. You can find his stuff and even commission him if he's not too busy, here. Jonty's novel, Incredulous Moshoeshoe and the Lightning Bird, is not literature but it's quite fun if you like Supernatural, Africa or the Goth scene. Laura doesn't want us to post her BookTok until she's posted more videos. She may have prayed for the app to be banned just to avoid it. Beliefs… We don't really want to preach at you, but some people like to know what we believe. It's this: Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to teach us a better way to be, while reconciling us to God and each other in a way we could never do without Him. He also changed water into wine. Nice. 

Deconstruction has sadly become a fad in Christian circles. Research shows that American Christians are walking away from the faith at staggering rates. In this episode, Blake shares three reasons from the Bible why people “lose” their faith. He also shares Scripture's wisdom for how to steward and grow your faith in Christ.

Today, we're joined by Abigail Favale, a Professor of Women's Studies and author of “Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion,” to hear how she went from an evangelical upbringing to postmodern feminism to a proud member of the Catholic Church. Follow along her journey as she shares with Patrick how her views developed, what she wishes she would have known before and during her deconstruction years, and how she navigated her fears. How have her views on gender and feminism changed? Why is it so important for Christians to live with, not resolve, the tension in the Bible? How did she become a Catholic? And what does she recommend we must do as the Church to support those living in deconstruction land? Listen now!

In this last season of my life I've experienced withdrawals, both mentally and physically from an acceptance addiction and a substance dependence. During this time the thing I realized is that the only way for me to get through the withdrawals and remain true to my convictions was to depend on God in a way that I haven't ever really experienced before. Both of my withdrawals from addiction were rooted in dopamine - I wanted to feel good - but it lead to a life of bondage and serving two masters (which isn't possible).  Book a session with Joey.

"Grace" is a word that has lost a lot of its power due to culture, overuse and not fully experiencing it. Grace is one of the most powerful forces in all the universe and when you taste of it, it will impact your life and cause drastic change. I'm joined today with Julie Wood, of the Just Initiative, a non profit that helps people in the Tampa Bay area find a pathway out of poverty.

“Be holy, as I am holy,” is a verse that still triggers me deeply. This verse was used as a weapon, to place a heavy burden on people, shaming them and in essence saying, “you need to do better.” I wanted to have this conversation today because I know deep down that the way I understood “holiness” from my church upbringing wasn't the real definition of what Jesus meant when he invited us to be like Him (aka “holy”). I left this conversation feeling inspired and hungry to truly be holy. I hope you find the same. Learn more about Caleb. Book a session with Joey. Follow us on TikTok. Watch us on YouTube.

During the summer, God dramatically interrupted my path. He broke into my world, removed scales from my eyes, and showered me with his love and grace. In this episode, I talk about what transpired, and how it has impact it my life. It always amazes me how I can end up in places of deception and not even realize it. In God‘s kindness and grace, he remains faithful, and always finds a way to call me back to the purity of knowing him.

American Christians don't ask questions about Father Abraham. Abraham is nothing but an old man, a character in one of the old stories we don't read in the Bible. To us, Abraham has very little to do with Jesus and His sacrifice for us on the cross. Many of us came to Jesus without knowing of Abraham, and we have maintained our relationship with Jesus without any real further acquaintance with him. It's a problem that many don't see this situation as a problem. Our lack of familiarity with Abraham reveals our lack of comprehension of the fullness of the Gospel.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...https://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIX... ➡️Gab - https://gab.com/KarlGesslerSupport the show

For the last episode of this season, we are taking a look at revisiting “yourself.” We've spent the last 12 weeks looking a many aspects of Christian basics and I wanted to end the season talking about our relationship with ourself. I've learned that my identity is a crucial part of how I move through the world and how relate to God. This week, I decided to not have a guest and share part of my journey with you as I have been revisiting myself. Book a session with Joey. Follow us on TikTok. Watch us on YouTube.

The devil played a very large role in my Christian upbringing. So much so, that I found myself fearing him more than looking to God. The devil became so big in my mind that I was constantly looking for him in every detail of life, which turned into a pseudo-obsession. On today's episode, my guest and I go deep into some of the history and cultural influences of the devil, as found in the Bible and church history. Book a session with Joey. Follow us on TikTok.

Spiritual warfare is a polarized topic in the church. Some of the church denies that the spirit realm is a real thing, while the other side of the church takes it way too far and seeing the devil under every rock. In this episode, my friend, Ashely and I talk about the two sides of the coin and process our own upbringings to discover what we believe is a healthy and balanced view of spiritual warfare.

Prayer is something that is built into the Christian life and has been pivotal in my spiritual development and health. For some, prayer was stressful, frustrating and shaming. In this episode, my guest and I talk about the essence of prayer and how it's so simple and can lead to life that is full of wisdom, communion and peace. If you've had a hard time with prayer, have a listen with an open heart and engage God with us.

Sorry Interacting to a video made by Kristi Burke A "Former Christian" who knows very little if anything at all about the basics of the faith. However, the verses she brought up are good to respond to. Did get heated towards the end as she starts blaspheming God. So, there's that.

The “gospel” is a term commonly used in Christianity, but it can mean many different things depending on the church denomination you're associated with. In addition, the Bible itself doesn't clearly define the gospel. It is commonly said that Jesus went about healing many and preaching the good news (gospel), but it doesn't tell us exactly what that meant. If you were raised in the church and didn't have a clear understanding of what the gospel is, this episode will help you get to the heart of the message. Follow Rebekah Moyer on TikTok.

In many Christian circles, the term, “born again,” has come to mean a certain type of Christian. Basically, asking the question, “do they believe what I believe?” This has removed the actual underlying message was communicating to Nicodemus, which was that there is a spiritual awakening that occurs where the scales of our spiritual eyes fall off. If you were raised as a “born again” Christian, this message may help you redeem that phrase and gain greater understanding of what it really means.

Clint, Gary, and David tackle JMac's views of Christian deconstruction.

This week, we go back and revisit the idea of “God's voice.” This topic can carry a lot of frustration and confusion for those who were raised in the church. For some, it was the pressure to always know what God was saying and for others it was the silence that caused them to feel like a shit-Christian. Wherever you find yourself today, this conversation addresses many of the issues and challenges that comes along with trying to hear God's voice. If you've ever felt like you're the only one that doesn't hear God, this episode will make you feel right at home with others who have felt the same way.

This week we are taking a look at “sin.” Sin is a loaded term, that is typically found exclusively in Christianity. While it's obvious ever human has sinned, the way most of us were taught by the church about sin, was laced with fear and shame. Some people even develop an obsession about not sinning, so much to the point that it has a negative effect on their mental health. In this conversation we talk about how sin has been dealt with - defeated. It no longer holds any power and we are in fact now the righteousness of God. Have a listen and consider that maybe you're not a horrible sinner at your core, but rather the rightness of who God is. Check out Brit Eaton Follow us on TikTok. Watch us on YouTube.

Today, Chris Krazter joins the conversation. Chris is the author of two books, Leatherbound Terrorism and Stupid $hit Heard in Church. He is a former ELCA pastor, with a Masters in Divinity, who left Evangelical Christianity for transformation. His books outline his storyline of transformation or "Christian Deconstruction." Chris shares with us the curiosity, doubt, and skepticism he wrestles with on his new journey toward understanding God.  We discuss things like what confronts and inspires one to question their beliefs. We talk about the problematic ideologies associated within some churches and belief systems of our country. And then the conversation takes a nose-dive into divergence and disagreement to an abrupt ending of the interview. Unfortunately, the guest and I have since parted ways, but I am grateful for his story and sharing of space on this episode, both controversial and contentious, but otherwise a prime example of humans being human.  Chris Kratzer's books can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=stupid+shit+heard+in+church&crid=2JLZGB95T83HQ&sprefix=%2Caps%2C117&ref=nb_sb_ss_recent_2_0_recent https://www.amazon.com/Leatherbound-Terrorism-Chris-Kratzer/dp/0692191623/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=leather+bound+terrorism&qid=1686015276&sprefix=leather+bound+ter%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-1 and you can listen to Chris's podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grace-is-brave-be-brave/id1557318353   Enjoy the episode!   And visit https://www.daniellekingstrom.com/

It's important that those of us who still claim faith in Jesus listen to the stories of those who have left Christianity. All too often when someone leaves the faith, Christians quickly write them off as “being blinded by Satan.” This judgement doesn't allow for conversation and to really listen and understand why some people leave Christianity. Jo Loyd Johnson, joins me today to talk about her journey out of Christianity, which she documents in her new book, “Silenced In Eden.” I invite you to listen with open arms, compassionate ears and a soft heart.

I was raised in a culture that taught me that God had a calling on my life. Now, while that is true in one sense, the way it was taught to me was that God was going to use me to do earth-shattering feats, such as take over Hollywood or evangelize Europe. Like many of you, life went on and as I entered my 20's and 30's, I started to realize that my life was a lot more “normal” than I expected. I felt discouraged, blamed myself and felt as if God had tricked me. Since then, I've done a lot of processing and have now redefined what my “calling” means. I'm joined by Eric Hyde, a licensed therapist, who was also raised in the same stream of Christianity that I was. He brings a unique understanding between what is meant by “calling” vs. “meaning."

There's a strange phenomenon that I've observed in Christian culture. On one hand it's preached that Jesus has saved us from sin, guilt and shame and on the other hand, the church teaches us to feel guilty and shameful through much of its practice and theology. I've lived most of my life with a chronic sense of guilt, that was at times, debilitating. The more I've talked to others about this, I've come to realize it's something much bigger than me. As Ashley puts it in this episode, we sell people God wrapped in a New Testament (grace, love, acceptance, etc.) understanding but then deliver them the God of the Old (angry, vengeful, judgmental, etc.). In this episode we tackle this contradiction and talk about the reality of who God is. Visit XII Church at: https://www.xii.church/ Watch us on YouTube. Join our FREE Facebook group.

We all fail and when we do, we feel like we deserve punishment and judgement, but in God's Kingdom it's just the opposite. Today, I'm joined with Daniel Dodd, who was a successful pastor that had a major moral failure, costing him his job, his spiritual community and his pride. Although he was shunned by his church, he was surprised at what he found in God. Instead of harsh judgement and disappointment, he fell into loving, forgiving and accepting arms. Just like my story, Daniel was surprised at the response he experienced in God. His story is raw, honest and full of grace. Learn more about the KNGDM Collective. Watch us on YouTube.

Every human experiences grief and sorrow. It's simply a part of life. Jesus himself was called a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. He knows what it is to grieve loss, to be betrayed and to cry out to the Father in agony and anxiety. I think the church has forgotten about this part of Jesus' life. Yes, he conquered death and the grave and is seated at the right hand of the Father, but he is also the lowly servant, who was mistreated, spat upon and sweat drops of blood in the garden. I think the church has done a disservice by overlooking these parts of Christ. Many church-goers have learned how to deny their emotions, rather than experience them. There seems to be a pressure to always have a smiley face on in church, otherwise you can be perceived as not being a “good Christian.” My friend, George Wood joins me again to talk about his grief and sorrow and how God found him in the midst of it all.  Connect with George Wood.

Let's talk about sex! For me sex was associated with sin and shame. Being raised in the Evangelical church, I was taught to fear sex and anything related to it. That fundamental teaching was extremely damaging for me, both sexually, spiritually and mentally. In this episode, I'm joined with Shannon Ethridge, a Christian sexologist, sex coach and author, to dive deep into some uncomfortable conversations around sex. This conversation was enlightening and challenging for me.   Learn more about Shannon here. Watch us on YouTube. Join our FREE Facebook group. Connect with Joey. Produced by Joey Papa Media.

Politics is a conversation I tend to stay far away from. I don't like conversations that center around two polar opposite viewpoints, where the one side demonizes the other. And, if you've been alive for the last few years, you know the political climate in the United States has been very, very heated. Not only that but a strange phenomenon has crept into many evangelical churches in the expression of Christian Nationalism. This is not only dangerous but it also taints the very name of the one we proclaim. In this episode, I'm joined by Tim Whitaker, a podcaster and advocate for church reform.

Addiction has become sorta an expectation in our society. Most of us have dealt with addiction on one level or another. Many are secretly hiding their addictions, out of fear of judgement and shame. On today's show I sit down with my guest, who was on staff at a church and hiding his addiction to alcohol. While he was a Christian for most of his life, it wasn't until his addiction got out of control that he fully understand and experienced the grace of God. The churches obsession with preaching against sin, has lead many in the church to hide in shame and not feel safe or comfortable to come clean and ask for help.

The deconstruction movement has swept through American Christianity for the last few years, leaving very polarized opinions of what it is and its credibility. I myself have not been a part of that movement, not because I don't affirm it, but because I haven't had that experience. I never had a moment of “deconstruction.” For me, most of my Christian walk has been asking the tough questions and readjusting my beliefs based on my experiences, knowledge of scripture and new information I've acquired. But for many, there was a moment of realizing that they may not agree or believe everything they've been taught in American Christianity. This movement has had the boldness to address some major inconsistencies in the church and have had the courage to question why they believe what they believe. For some, deconstruction has lead them to greater faith in Jesus and for others it's lead to the decision that they do not believe in Him. Wherever you find yourself, this episode will address each component of this process. Learn more about Danny and his church. Check out "The Deconstruction Zone" podcast. Watch us on YouTube.

LGBTQ Christians. This is a huge topic within the Christian faith. Traditionally, churches have done a very poor job at understanding how to navigate this topic. In this episode, it is my desire to bring greater understanding and awareness around this topic. If you're someone who is queer, on any level, and you've never felt comfortable or welcomed to be honest about your sexuality, I pray this conversation brings hope and peace to your soul. And for the listeners that are straight and don't understand this world, my hope is that you will approach this topic with respect and open-mindedness, so that you can become a safe person for those in your life who are working through this part of their life.

The Bible. The most sold book in the world, is intended to be the story of God and humanity, but many times it has been used to devalue, manipulate and dehumanize people. Unfortunately, this abusive approach to the Bible has been a large part of my Christian experience. For many years, I had a very strong shame filter, as I read the Bible because of how others had presented it and used it against me. I'm joined by Dr. Lamp, a professor of the New Testament at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He brings an incredible perspective to this sensitive and heated topic. If you've ever felt like the Bible was used against you, I think this episode will resonate with you and hopefully provide some level of healing. Dr. Lamp's books. Watch us on YouTube.

What if we lived as if Jesus meant the things He said? That's the question that Shane Claiborne has been asking for over 20 years. Shane is a prominent speaker, activist, and best-selling author.  Shane worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, and founded The Simple Way in Philadelphia.  He heads up Red Letter Christians, a movement of folks who are committed to living "as if Jesus meant the things he said." Shane is a champion for grace which has led him to jail advocating for the homeless, and to places like Iraq and Afghanistan to stand against war. Now grace fuels his passion to end the death penalty and help stop gun violence. Learn more about Shane. Watch us on YouTube. Join our FREE Facebook group. Connect with Joey.

Where is God in the midst of the absurdity of life? Every one of us have experienced loss, hurt, pain and injustice and at times, it is difficult to reconcile those events in our life with the goodness of God. I know I've been there many times and fought my way through the confusion with frustration, anger and hurt. We're joined today by my friend, Eric Hyde, who is a licensed therapist in the state of Oklahoma and practicing Orthodox Christian. We take a look at the book of Job and Ecclesiastes to try and make sense of these complex questions. While there aren't any straight-forward answers, there are a few conclusions we can make from these overlooked books of the Bible.

How do you relate to a friend or loved one who walked with you in your faith and has decided to leave it? While this podcast is not about deconstruction, my friend Tim, is a prime example of someone who was the poster-child Christian, who has deconstructed, years ago, and is now an agnostic-atheist. The funny thing is, my love and friendship with Tim has not changed at all! His thoughts, his process and his conclusions are fascinating and I think you will be challenged and encouraged by our conversation.   Support the podcast and become a patreon.

While doing a search on our website, BCWorldview.org, for the word “deconstruction” I was surprised to discover I had personally referred to the concept in 20 articles over the past nine months. That is likely just the tip of the iceberg when considering responses to questions or challenges from Medium readers. ConclusionMan's vain attempt to “reveal [Biblical Christian] inadequacy” is not only attractive to atheists and agnostics, but to deconstructionists by encompassing all the new twisted variants of their former traditional faith-based Christianity. All are welcome and stroked in this burgeoning group, looking for internet-based fellowship as a poor substitute to fill the vacuum left in their hearts.Of course, my viewpoint seems harsh, narrow-minded, and bigoted. However, if our place in eternity was at stake, which in large part it is, I believe calling deconstruction (with little expectation of a Biblical Christian reconstruction) for what it is, is justified. 

The Apostle Paul warns us that the Holy Spirit says “In The Last Days” believers in Jesus will be seduced by evil demonic spirits. Their satanic mission? To seduce you to abandon your faith. No one is exempt from this subduction, and we are seeing a rise in “deconstruction” and a trend to move the gospel into a progressive woke re-framing of truth. In this podcast I want to share with you real world examples of how this “Christian Deconstruction” happens. More importantly, I want to share three ways to guard your heart against these seducing spirits, spiritual adultery, deconstructionism, and doubt.

What is Christian Deconstruction and should we fear it? Deconstruction has become a buzz word over the last year in the Christian community so we wanted to have a conversation about what it is and how we can love those who might be experiencing it. Maybe you're deconstructing your faith right now, we may have some helpful insights for you as well, but please don't take my word for it.

Back in 2017 when I was trying to convince Christian Pastors, theologians, ministry leaders and other religious figures that our theology proper and our concepts of epistemology were being deconstructed, many had a hard time with the concept that the church would be under attack from within. There was a problem of seeing the faces and personalities of men that were "highly spoken of" that were now deconstructing the Christian faith in a dialectical fashion. The deconstruction was occurring through the primary tools of seminaries, denominations, and parachurch ministries. And hence, this is why in the summer of 2018 I recorded a podcast that was titled "Evangelical Seminaries: Deconstruction Zones" (https://sovereignnations.com/2018/08/23/seminaries-deconstruction-zones/). And from the summer of 2018 the deconstruction only worsened. In many instances, creating division was the only concern - enough division that would divide the body of Christ. In 2018, the Gospel Coalition released the study, "Derrida, Foucault, and the Bible" (https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/course/derrida-foucault-bible/#course-introduction). The course description stated the following: “This course will help you see what Derrida and Foucault are really saying, and show you how you can bring their thought into conversation with the Bible. You will get an accessible introduction to the thought of two of the most influential French philosophers of recent decades, and you will learn methods for fostering meaningful engagement between philosophical ideas and biblical doctrine.” The Gospel Coalition serves as a warning that Neo-Marxist concepts such as deconstruction are being introduced to Christians by the very people who were responsible for guarding them against evil: the pastors, seminaries, and institutions that were created to guard against dangerous ideologies. -Michael O'Fallon http://sovereignnations.com Support Sovereign Nations: paypal.me/sovnations patreon.com/sovnations Follow Sovereign Nations: sovereignnations.com/subscribe facebook.com/SovereignNations twitter.com/SovNations youtube.com/SovereignNations rumble.com/c/sovnations instagram.com/sovnations/ minds.com/sovnations?referrer=sovnations parler.com/profile/sovnations © 2022 Sovereign Nations.

This week's guest is Meghan Crozier, the writer behind The Pursuing Life blog and co-host of Thereafter Podcast. Meghan grew up in an Evangelical Free church and she was all in. After high school, she went to a christian university, signing a pledge to become a missionary. Her life turned out differently, and though it took years to be okay with that, she is now extremely thankful she never became a missionary. At the beginning of the pandemic while so much was changing in everyone's lives, she clung to her faith. She journaled, prayed for an hour and read her bible every morning. Since 2020, she began to see other aspects of her church that she could not unsee—homophobia, gaslighting, ableism. Then the January 6th insurrection happened. After her church's response to this disturbing event, Meghan knew she had to reconsider almost everything her life. Meghan now holds her Christianity very loosely. She's found community and connection online through Twitter, and through her blog and podcast. Meghan is an important voice in the deconstruction world, influencing people with the spoken and written word.

Staying along the vein of the church in black history, I decided to venture into the archives and share a conversation with author and filmmaker Jeremiah Camara from 2016. Jeremiah Camara is the director and producer of the documentary film Contradiction: A Question of Faith, which examines the saturation of churches in African American communities coexisting with poverty and powerlessness. Contradiction can be viewed on Amazon Prime Video. Camara is the author of the books Holy Lockdown: Does The Church Limit Black Progress? and The New Doubting Thomas: The Bible, Black Folks & Blind Belief. Camara is also the creator of the widely watched YouTube video series Slave Sermons… a mini-movie series addressing the harmful effects of religion. His latest and upcoming documentary project is titled, Holy Hierarchy: The Religious Roots of Racism in America. Holy Hierarchy… explains how the presumptions of a Supreme Being in colonial America led to precepts and beliefs in supreme human beings and how these beliefs morphed their way into the legal system and ultimately turned racism into an institution.

Blake has been running a really successful podcast called "Rethinking Christianity" where he has interviewed famous theologians like Ed Litton and Pete Enns. We wanted to ask him his thoughts on Christian Deconstruction, the politics of the evangelical church in America, and much more. This is a good one so check it out!

In this episode Doug & Paula further explore what is good about the Christian Deconstruction movement. But then they show that deconstruction isn't everything, but they need to ask, what is the alternative? So take a listen and learn some of the good and not so good of the Christian Deconstruction movement.-Feel free to email us with any questions at info@servingbb.org or for more information check out our website at https://servingbeyondborders.org-Follow us on:Instagram - @servingbeyondbordersYouTube - Serving Beyond BordersFacebook - Serving Beyond Borders-"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve. . ."

Last week two prominent Christian rappers made statements that shook up the American Christian world. Brady Godwin known as Phanatik of the Chrsitian rap group Cross Movement, says he sent a letter to his church withdrawing his membership and renouncing what he believed and shared for over 30 years. Grammy winning Christian rapper LeCrae wrote a tweet about leaving "politicized Christianity" that led to him losing a performance booking. While blacks are still the most religious group of Christians in America, many are beginning to deconstruct their faith or leave Christianity all together. How should pastors and church leaders address this burgeoning problem? Join Dr. Neal as he discusses this and other topics of the day.

What does it mean to “deconstruct” one's faith? Nathan and Cameron discuss the matter.

Caleb Weidman is a Media wiz, and has been creating quality content for Spiritual communities for the past decade. He's the president of Blackbar Media, a youtube channel focused on exploring how Christianity can be complemented and augmented by technology and media, and how people working within positions related to media production can better engage with their faith. I've known Caleb for a very long time now, and we've worked together professionally on many different projects including short films and various musical productions. Caleb is also an incredibly talented graphic designer and has produced album covers and book covers for me and my peers on multiple occasions. I wanted to talk to Caleb about what his project is about, and dive deep into what it would mean for a spiritual community to be entirely online-based, and whether or not the online environment was capable of hosting the level of engagement necessary for meaningful spiritual engagement with a community. Caleb and I aren't on exactly the same page concerning this topic, but that's exactly why I thought it would be meaningful and beneficial to have a conversation. Whether you're part of a spiritual community or not, I think you'll find this discussion both interesting and relevant to your life and our greater cultural problem of processing what exactly the creation of the internet entails for us socially, spiritually, personally, and culturally. Also, if you enjoy this conversation and would like to hear more of Caleb, please be sure to check out his youtube channel and podcast (linked below). If you especially appreciated our dynamic, make sure you check out the new episode releasing very soon where Caleb invited me on to join in for a conversation about Christian Deconstruction and how to engage with it meaningfully.

This week, Joe Costa, Cole Perseo, and Adam Preim take a deep dive into the popular Christian movement called Christian Deconstruction. We try to understand it, hold it up to God's Word, and offer our take on it. As Christians, we need to be like the Bereans (Act 17) by adhering to the Word and be willing to call out bad doctrine when we hear it. Today, we do just that.

Alisa Childers is back with a conversation I want every Christian parent to hear! A movement called “spiritual deconstruction” is sweeping through our culture, our churches, and (maybe especially) our universities. It is confusing and complex. It is leading young people away from the church and dividing families. In today's interview, Alisa offers us Biblical and historical context for deconstruction, and a truth-centered, loving way to respond to it.I first heard of the term “deconstruction” from my two sons who attended a Christian college, and who had friends “deconstructing” the faith their parents raised them with. My hope is that this conversation might help more parents understand the deconstruction movement, and be inspired to raise their kids to be critical thinkers as they develop their own, rock-solid faith (and thereby avoid “deconstruction.”) If any listeners have family members or friends who are part of the deconstruction movement, I hope this interview offers wisdom and hope. Please share this interview with your friends. Find links to the book “The Deconstruction of Christianity” (with a free chapter download) in show notes. The book will release at the end of January, 2024.Today's episode: www.monicaswanson.com/Alisa-Childers General podcast page: www.monicaswanson.com/podcastLooking for new science or math homeschool curriculum?
