Podcasts about Deconstruction

Everything moves fast—except the truth.2026 is pivotal. While 2025 was the preparation, we are now facing the point of no return.Big energies. New reality.The mind demands certainty, but the heart speaks in stillness. True transformation is found in the pause. In prayer and when I channel - I access the seventh heaven, I meet Elohim in pure joy and rest. We must remember that only by slowing our frequency do we allow the highest realms to anchor into our world. So that said…Everything moves fast—except the truth.How are you feeling as we close the last chapter of 2025? “Your awareness is the threshold of your supernatural reality. What you neglect to perceive, you cannot steward. Heaven is always moving ….The question is whether your eyes are open to its motion." - KassandraThis quote is an invitation to take a moment to check in with yourself amidst the busHow you close the year shapes how you enter the next one.Trust that 2026 is going to move you forward in ways you can't yet see.My personal spiritual visions have shown “worse before better “ and come July - oh my the bounty and global uprise and celebration can hardly be obtained in my energy.I'm so excited for you and your newfound freedoms now and to come.yness and pace of life. Take a moment. Roll your shoulders up and back. Relax your jaw.Soften. Settle.Breathe.If you're feeling a little stretched, a little tender, a little over-it… you're not alone.This year asked a lot of us.More change than we planned for.More confusion than we can stand for. Before you dive into New Year Resolutions, I want to offer you something simple.A grounding.A breath.A moment to feel proud of how far you've come.Today, just notice.What music or scents energize you?Who quietly drains you?What commitments feel exciting?What obligations feel like dread and you can agree to release?Notice it without judging it.When something (or someone) no longer brings joy or value, it becomes weight.Slowing down makes a real difference.Letting go isn't a dramatic gesture… it's a practice.How you close the year shapes how you enter the next one.Trust that 2026 is going to move you forward in ways you can't yet see.My personal spiritual visions have shown “worse before better “ and come July - oh my the bounty and global uprise and celebration can hardly be obtained in my energy.I'm so excited for you and your newfound freedoms now and to come.You don't need to finish the year WITH TOXIC POSITIVITY.Just finish it awakend.Clear enough.Self loved enough.Rested enough to begin - again.❤️I LOVE YOU! In closing:If you want clarity, depth, and real alignment, slow down for theslowest part of you.That's where authenticity lives—beneath the noise, in the steadyrhythm of the heart.Rushing keeps you clever. Slowing down makes you wise.The deeper intelligence of the body doesn't speak in words or frameworks.It speaks in sensations—tightness, release, warmth, stillness.Deconstruction isn't a mindset; it's physical.It's JUST TRUE…Fear, tension, and old conditioning unravel through the body beforeclarity can move in.That doesn't mean something's wrong. It means something real is happening.When you drop into that space of not-knowing, you reclaim power thatspeed and certainty can never provide.Because discernment isn't found in the mind's debate—it's felt.The body tells you what's alive: a quiet yes, a clear no, a pause thatholds more truth than any plan.That pause isn't hesitation; it's integrity in motion.So instead of forcing outcomes, let what's authentic emerge at its own pace. The heart always moves slower than the coping self—and that's exactlywhy it never lies.Slowing down isn't withdrawal. It's the most advanced form of alignment.Stop pushing.

On this episode of Day by Day our Journey Through Romans, Dr Clif explains that the current trend of deconstructing faith is more about prioritizing personal desires and cultural acceptance over biblical truth, rather than genuinely seeking doctrinal clarity or truth.

When evangelical pastor Brian Recker began questioning the rationality of a loving God consigning non-Christians to eternal damnation, it turned his world upside down. But, in the process, a lot of harmful beliefs and evangelical sacred cows began falling to the ground and a refreshing spirituality of love remained. Join Michael as he interviews Brian about his new book, Hellbent: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love. Learn how hell takes center stage for conservative-minded Christians, how it disconnects us from ourselves and others, how to deconstruct it with historical and biblical evidence, and how Jesus' love ethic connects us all when hell is exposed for the fraud it is.  Find Hellbent here: https://www.amazon.com/Hell-Bent-Holds-Christians-Spirituality/dp/0593853199/Brian's website: https://www.brianrecker.com/Brian on Instagram:   /berecker   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this special episode, writer, priest and theologian Jarel Robinson-Brown reflects on the power of love in a world that so often feels fragile, unjust, and burning at the edges.Drawing on the story of his grandmother's resilience and tenderness, the radical imagination of Mary, and the embodied life of Jesus, Jarel invites us to see Christian truth not as a text but as a life — love made flesh, love that puts its body where its heart is.After Jarel's reflection, Nomad host Anna Robinson guides us into a contemplative space — a gentle invitation to sit with the stories we've heard, notice what stirs, and discern how love might ripple outward in our own lives.The whole episode is woven together with original music by Jon Bilbrough (Wilderthorn), creating a meditative soundscape to hold the journey.Books, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

In the final episode of this three-part series, Christy and Joshua come together to reflect on the shared impact of spiritual abuse and the long road toward truth and healing.

I caught up with the wonderful Nia Chiaramonte for the first time in five years. Last time we spoke, she was earlier on in her transition and deconstruction, navigating life as a wife, and a parent, in a beautiful rainbow family. Back then, the political climate was friendlier too, with Joe Biden at the helm in America.  Today, its different. And there's never been a more important time to tell trans stories and support trans issues. Nia is now an author, with her book "I hardly knew me" out now.  You can find her on instagram @finding.nia or online at https://www.loveintheface.com/about  You can also get her book here https://www.loveintheface.com/ourresources

We're back for part two of Matthew Stephen Brown's conversation with Pastor John Martinez of Sandals Church Banning. After a powerful first episode, this debrief continues by turning to your questions — honest, practical, and rooted in everyday faith.In this episode, Pastor Matthew and Pastor John respond to audience-submitted questions about what it really looks like to live out your faith in today's culture. From navigating music and entertainment as a Christian, to understanding what “great faith” actually means and how it grows, to discerning the difference between genuine worship and performance, this conversation is thoughtful, biblical, and refreshingly real.Show notes:  Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 NLT 

In Episode 2 of this three-part series, Christy shares her story of spiritual harm, silence, and survival within church systems that protected power over people. She reflects on the personal cost of being unheard, the impact on identity and faith, and the long road toward naming what happened. Christy's testimony deepens the series by centering the lived experience of abuse and the courage it takes to speak after being dismissed.Support the show

In a follow up to an older episode, where Pastor Mike and Connor discuss deconstruction and the fact that is present and part of the conversation of Christianity. Today the topic of loving someone who is going through this kind of crisis is at the forefront of our minds!

In Episode 1 of this three-part series, Joshua shares his story of spiritual harm, silencing, and the cost of telling the truth inside church systems built to protect power. His testimony traces the personal and relational fallout of abuse, the pressure to stay quiet, and the long road toward clarity and agency. This episode centers Joshua's voice and sets the foundation for the series to come.Support the show

What do you do when your faith feels fragile, your questions feel overwhelming, or your relationship with God feels distant?  In this honest and deeply personal episode, Pastor Rod Parsley and Ashton Blaire take on the topic of deconstruction, discussing how exploring your faith can either lead to deeper truth or dangerous compromise.  Our hosts unpack the difference between unhealthy deconstruction and life-giving reconstruction, including guidelines for seeking out your own salvation with humility, biblical truth, and the convicting power of the Holy Spirit.  If you've ever struggled with doubt, wrestled with the Word, or wondered how to rebuild your faith after a difficult season, this episode reminds us that strong foundations are built, not abandoned.  Remember to subscribe and turn on your notifications!

What happens when deconstruction becomes an identity—and woundedness becomes a platform? In this episode of the Future Christian Podcast, Loren Richmond Jr. talks with pastor and writer Tara Beth Leach about the growing online ecosystem where deconstruction is monetized, anger is rewarded, and discipleship is often replaced by endless dismantling. Tara Beth shares why she believes some deconstruction is necessary (especially as faith matures), but warns that deconstruction without reconstruction can become a spiral that forms people in cynicism rather than hope. She describes how churches can respond to cultural crises without becoming “statement churches,” why partisan politics becomes idolatrous, and how practices like liturgy and theology formation can subvert polarization and re-form the Christian imagination. In this conversation, you'll hear about: Why online deconstruction and local church reality are often very different The danger of mistaking deconstruction for discipleship How algorithms reward outrage and shape Christian formation Why Gen Z is often hungry for embodied, communal faith Liturgy and slow formation as a pastoral response in a divided age The difference between charisma and character—and what churches celebrate Supporting women in ministry: why men often “call out” people who look like them Tara Beth's “G.R.E.A.T.” morning prayer practice and her book The Great Morning Revolution   Tara Beth Leach is a pastor, preacher of the Word, and writer. She speaks widely at conferences, retreats, and universities across the country on Women in Ministry, Church Leadership, and the call to be a Radiant Witness. She is the Senior Pastor at Good Shepherd Church in Naperville, IL and previously served at Christ Church in Oakbrook and as Senior Pastor of First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena (”PazNaz”) in SoCal. She is a graduate of Olivet Nazarene University and Northern Theological Seminary and has authored three books, including Emboldened and Radiant Church. Tara Beth is the co-founder of Propel Ecclesia and is also the co-host of The Pastors Table podcast. She has two beautiful and rambunctious sons and has been married to the love of her life, Jeff, since 2006.   Mentioned Resources:

In this special episode of The Debrief Podcast, Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown sits down with Pastor John Martinez, campus pastor of Sandals Church Banning, to discuss his journey into ministry and how he began working at Sandals Church. John shares the roles he's held over the years and what those looked like in everyday ministry life. They explore the unseen realities of serving in a megachurch, including both the rewarding moments and the challenges. Pastor Matthew and Pastor John also talk about navigating creative blocks versus true spiritual dryness and how to practice faith authentically rather than performance. The episode touches on handling critique from both church communities and music circles, as well as advice for young Christian artists wrestling with the tension between traditional ministry and creative calling.

Netflix just announced its next animated children's film, “Steps,” a Cinderella inversion in which the evil stepsisters are the real heroes. The platform is also releasing “Queen of Coal,” a film about a “transgender woman” overcoming the patriarchy in his small Argentinian town. Reports of the demise of wokeness were premature. What's notable is how boring it has all become. Deconstruction has been the default mode of modern culture, but it is running out of things to deconstruct. The transgression has lost its power as the taboo fades, and in that exhaustion, something new — perhaps something true — stirs.

Are the ten plagues just divine punishment? Or are they intended to form a people? In this episode, Dr. Dru Johnson sits down with Dr. Rick Wadholm and Pastor Dalton Avery, co-authors of Plagued by Faith, to explore a more layered vision of the plague narratives in Exodus. Rather than merely acts of judgment, the plagues are portrayed as formative, disruptive events that unmake Egypt's religious, political, and economic worldview—and detach Israel from it. The Nile River, Egypt's source of life, is turned to blood not only to confront Pharaoh, but to sever Israel's spiritual dependence on Egypt. The calendar is reset at Passover, reorienting the people's very sense of time and community. These acts weren't random—they were theological statements shaping Israel's identity, even while challenging Egypt's gods . As Dalton notes, “The Lord is not out here just doing violence for no reason, but there's redemptive heart, there's redemptive intent in every action of the Living God” . Rick adds, “Behold the face of God who sends plagues… somehow to offer a re-visioning of these stories as revealing this God”. We are listener supported.

In this teaching, I want to talk about spiritual gifts as a universal human experience. Spiritual gifts are not the property of one group or religion. Today we look at the gift of prophecy and how it relates to us today especially if we have deconstructed from evangelical or pentecostal Christianity.

In this episode we speak with Anglican Deacon and writer Jayne Manfredi, whose work explores the female body as a place of truth-telling, theological insight and spiritual transformation. Jayne talks with striking honesty about midlife, menopause and the shifting experience of embodiment — the leaking, aching, changing realities many women learn to hide — and reflects on the Church's persistent discomfort with women's bodies and the silence that often surrounds this life stage.Drawing on her book Waking the Women, Jayne describes menopause as a kind of wilderness: a time when old maps fail, identities unravel and a more authentic self begins to emerge. She speaks of rage, grief, liberation and the unexpected sense of resurrection that can follow the drying-up of long-held roles and expectations. Along the way she reflects on class and authenticity, the pressure to remain “nice”, and the ways midlife invites a more grounded, embodied, unapologetic faith.This is a conversation about bodies, meaning and the sacred work of becoming ourselves in midlife, told with warmth, humour and fierce honesty.After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Joy Brooks consider what Jayne's insights stirred in them, reflecting on embodiment, ageing, social expectations, and the wide range of experiences that shape how different people navigate midlife.Interview starts at 12m 39sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

In today's conversation, I'm delighted to welcome Cynthia for the very first of our new community-centred episodes. Instead of traditional, more formal interviews, these gatherings invite you to sit with us as friends would, following curiosity, truth, and a little everyday enchantment wherever it wants to flow.I've never spoken one-to-one with Cynthia before, and what unfolded was a deeply honest exploration of intuition, leaving religion, finding your own path, and reclaiming magick as a way of being in the world.This episode is a tapestry of personal story, insight, humour, and the kind of grounded witchcraft that makes the mundane shimmer.In this episode, we explore:1. Cynthia's powerful journey from evangelical Christianity to witchcraftRaised in a religious environment, Cynthia shares how early doubts, motherhood, and profound family experiences began to untangle her from doctrine and move her toward a more authentic spiritual life. Her father's passing opened a deep reckoning about meaning, purpose, and the life she did not want to live.2. The moment she realised: “I think I might be a witch”From the heart-pounding purchase of her first witchcraft book to recognising lifelong intuitive experiences, Cynthia describes the extraordinary relief of naming what had always been quietly true.3. Intuition as a knowing beyond sightWe explore the nature of intuition, not as voices or visions but as a bone-deep knowing that often speaks before logic catches up. We share personal stories of “turn left instead” moments that proved profoundly important later.I also share how becoming a person of your word strengthens intuition and why not everything needs to be “proved” in order to be honoured.4. Religion, trauma, and the fear of a masculine godCynthia speaks openly about the harm created by the religious masculinity she was raised with and the difficulty of allowing masculine energy in again. We explore a re-framing of masculine and feminine energies as archetypal and relational rather than gendered, hierarchical, or punitive.5. Magick as relationship, not ritualI share stories from my childhood in Cornwall, early magickal encounters, and how nature has always spoken to me. I also describe my priestess training, misconceptions around deities, and why I see gods and goddesses not as authorities but as beings in relationship and reciprocity.6. The importance of community and ritual in a post-religious worldTogether, we explore what is lost when people leave religion: not the dogma, but the communal rhythm, the shared practices, and the rituals that hold us during life's thresholds. We talk about how magick can restore this sense of grounding through conscious pauses, seasonal rituals, and connection to the land.7. Everyday magick in actionFrom enchanted stones to unexpected conversations at the front door of a courthouse, Cynthia shows how magick moves through the seemingly ordinary moments of life, opening paths of service, compassion, and courage.8. Saying no, wintering, and reclaiming your own paceWe close with a reminder that witchcraft honours cycles. Sometimes magick asks us to act, sometimes to rest.

With both honesty and hope, he explores how God meets us in our darkest moments, how grace covers our imperfect intentions, and how Scripture reveals a God who invites every person into redemption and life with Him. Tune in for a grounded and encouraging conversation that helps make sense of some of Christianity's most challenging topics.

In this Thanksgiving conversation, The Talk My Credo team discards their entire topic outline to have an in-depth discussion community, faith, & the trending wave of "deconstruction" in responding to a recent online quarrel. Donte discusses the concept of deconstruction in relation to faith and belief systems, emphasizing that many individuals who claim to be deconstructing their beliefs are often not engaging in a genuine exploration of their faith, but rather are motivated by a disdain for God. He contrasts the idea of genuinely understanding one's beliefs with the act of simply tearing down established faith without a constructive purpose.

Send us a textToday we're celebrating a very special return guest: author, speaker, and independent scholar Diana Butler Bass. If you've been with us before, you'll remember our deep dive into her beautiful book Freeing Jesus. Today, Diana is back with a brand-new offering: A Beautiful Year: 52 Meditations on Faith, Wisdom, and Perseverance—a book designed to guide us through the seasons, the stories, and the spiritual rhythms that shape a life.You've heard Diana's Substack series, When? When? When? – Longing for the End of Empire. It resonated with me deeply—especially as I write in my own Substack, “When is this going to END?” It echoes Jesus' ancient warning that even the most imposing empires—Herod's Temple, Rome's occupation—will crumble. Empires end, but the Kingdom of God endures. That tension—our longing for an end, and our anticipation of a new beginning—brings us right into Advent.At seventy-seven, I've lived through a decade of Trump-era headlines that have stretched and wrinkled my sense of time. Diana helps us see that time is not just linear—it's circular, liturgical, meaningful. Not the calendar I grew up with in my evangelical days, but one filled with story, metaphor, archetype, and hope. Advent reminds us: we wait for peace, for justice, for love. And when the signs appear, Jesus says, the time is near.So join us. Diana's spiritual kaleidoscope opens a winding, wonder-filled journey through darkness toward light. This conversation will move you—heart, mind, and spirit.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show. Thank you!

Palestinian peace activist Sami Awad has lived his whole life under military occupation. He's witnessed violence, loss, and deep injustice. Yet rather than turning towards hatred or certainty, he's journeyed into a spirituality rooted in compassion, healing, and what he calls Christ consciousness — a way of seeing that refuses separation and fear.In this conversation, Sami reflects on what it means to love your enemy amid war, to resist without hatred, and to awaken to the divine even in the midst of suffering. He speaks about his rejection of institutional Christianity, his lifelong commitment to nonviolence, and how ritual, grief, and steadfastness have become his practices of hope.Following the interview, Tim and Anna reflect on how Sami's experience of faith under occupation challenges their own journeys. They discuss privilege, embodiment, and what it means to find Jesus beyond the institution. Together they explore sumud — steadfastness — as a contemplative form of resistance, and how love, rather than fear, can become the organising principle of faith.Interview starts at 17m 39sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.
