Breaking Up With Churchianity! (It’s Not Me It’s You) #Deconstruction

1 hour 48 minutes

Cub Kuker Supernatural Podcast EP390

I finally did it. I broke up with the longest relationship of my life—between me and the church. I did this some time ago, and now I'm finally opening up about it. I dedicated the better part of my life to serving the church, believing what I was told was a biblical view of life, and trying to be a godly person. I am here to say that I no longer adhere to those principles or belief systems. With that said, I respect anyone who devotes themselves to any faith tradition. This is merely my personal experience, (and observation of the experiences of others) in all love and respect.

Most relationships end long before parting ways. That was the case with my relationship with the church. I finally let go of my dogmatic churchianity in 2020 by beginning to open myself up to a world of scripture beyond the biblical canon, including Gnosticism, Eastern Mysticism, Mythology, and Direct Contact with the Supreme Super Consciousness of the universe within me. It was one of the best decisions I ever made personally.

Today, I'm eager to offer assistance to anyone considering deconstruction or already going through it. It doesn't have to stem from anger or mistrust but can be a path to reclaim power and authority for your own spiritual well-being. Here are some common signs of a negative relationship applied to the construct of churchianity:

Overly Jealous Behavior: In a "churchianity" context, leaders might exhibit overly jealous behavior by closely monitoring members' interactions with other faith communities or spiritual practices outside of their own. They could instill fear or guilt in members, suggesting that exploring alternative beliefs or practices is a form of betrayal or disobedience.

Isolation Tactics: Leaders within "churchianity" might subtly isolate members by discouraging relationships with individuals or groups outside of their community. They could frame interactions with outsiders as dangerous or spiritually harmful, fostering a sense of fear or mistrust towards those who don't adhere to their beliefs.

Controlled Communication: In "churchianity," controlled communication could involve leaders tightly regulating the flow of information within the community. They may restrict access to alternative perspectives or censor dissenting voices, creating an environment where questioning or challenging the status quo is discouraged.

Blame-Shifting: Within "churchianity," blame-shifting could occur when leaders deflect responsibility for issues within the community onto individual members or external influences. They might subtly imply that members who question authority or express doubts are spiritually weak or susceptible to deception.

Subtle Put-Downs: "Churchianity" leaders may use subtle put-downs or condescending language to undermine members' confidence or autonomy. This could involve dismissing legitimate concerns as insignificant or implying that those who express dissent are lacking in faith or understanding.
