Deconstruction. What is it, why are so many doing it, and why are so many others apparently so threatened by it? We've said a few times on the show that we don't want to be just another deconstruction podcast, but we've never quite fully explained what we mean. So we sat down to work through our own experiences with deconstruction and what we've heard from others, to try to put our finger on what it is about it that leaves us wanting more, and to think together about what might be a richer alternative. Along the way, we try to be as respectful as we can to those going through it--which includes all of us in one way or another--and we also describe the weaknesses of some prominent critiques of it that we've heard. We hope this conversation will be beneficial to you if, like us, you've had reason to question the faith that you were given.

The book Randy mentions in the conversation is Radical Amazement by Judy Cannato.

The beverage we taste in this episode is Elliot's Revenge from the always stellar Manic Meadery.

The beverage tasting is at 8:25. To skip to the main segment, go to 10:50.

You can find the transcript for this episode here.

Content note: this episode contains some mild profanity, mention of abuse, and some adult language.
