#2 Defining Deconstruction (S1E2)


Listen Later

Christy works to define faith deconstruction for her audience. Often people have specific expectations about deconstruction. Some think that deconstructing your faith automatically means you deconvert from Christianity. Other people think that if you deconstruct, you will automatically arrive at a progressive, unitarian theology.

Christy reminds her listeners that in any other context, deconstruction simply means to take something apart to its individual pieces. It never says what you do with the pieces once you take them apart. Christy believes it is possible to put our faith back together centered around the real Jesus if we want to. She believes we can rebuild a historically orthodox faith without the extra tradition and religion we've collected along the way.
