Derek and I have hung out online doing podcast episodes  for the last 7 years or so and we've talked very little about Christian faith.  In this episode, that's the focus; Derek's faith  - Joey

Deconstruction is the buzz word.  Those who "deconstruct" typically demolished "static pillars" of fundamentalism and over time, new ones go up.  There exists different beliefs, but same old regimented, manmade approach to spirituality.

People who sense a faith change coming on may have been living in a mindset in which certain beliefs need to be true in order for God to be real. This paves the way to an arduous road that can end in so many places.

What does Derek struggle with?  Seeing the church with nuance.

What does he artistically regret?  His ego in earlier work. 

We learn about "Calvinist Rap" that Derek took part in for a spell, we toil with the thought of "good samaritan type people," who live a life of love and service (all the things Jesus said were most important) to all, but do not have "correct" beliefs.   How in the living hell do people (i.e. John Piper) know so much about infinite God?  What's it look like to be a Christian in 2022?  All of this and more with fam of the podcast. 

We talk J-Cole, and at the beginning of episode, Matt and Robbie help Joey process his "did I steal from Wal-Mart" situation.
