Nondualism is one of my favorite concepts that I’ve gleaned during deconstruction. Today I share my own story of embracing this concept over the past few years and I share its ongoing importance in my deconstruction journey and life.

Recently I was asked how to have "fruitful dialogue with Evangelicals" as I navigate my own deconstruction. I think it is absolutely possible and beautiful when it happens! Today I share what that dialogue looks like for me personally.

Today I am thrilled that my friend and former guest Makcum Novikov joins me to talk about a word we don’t often hear concerning deconstruction: gentleness. How can we treat ourselves and others gently a we investigate our beliefs and practices?

Check out episode 13 in Season 1 on the podcast for another awesome chat with Makcum!

On today’s bonus episode I chat with Trey Ferguson—a pastor, author, and “theologizer” who writes and speaks publicly about faith and race. He provides such a refreshing view of Christianity, a curious faith, the intersection of technology and religion, and a reframing of what the Good News of Christ might be about after all.

Today's guest is spiritual director and professor Frank Rogers Jr. who, as a young adult, begin to be deeply tormented by the trauma of suppressed childhood sexual abuse. Wracked by depression, he was on the cliff edge of suicide. From intense despair, he set off on a quest—for answers, for sanity, for a credible God to see him through. We discuss his new book, Cradled in the Arms of Compassion, which details his life story and how he found truly transformational power in the practice of compassion. Rogers shows how he found recovery through a combination of reflective retreats, therapy, creative expression, and an extraordinary application of imaginative meditation, which spiritual seekers and practitioners will find utterly fascinating. The ensuing discovery evolved into the uniquely self-restorative process known as the Compassion Practice.

This one made my cry DTM fam! Such a powerful story.
