Deconstructing faith means tearing down ingrained, false, damaging, nonaffirming beliefs, and replacing them with empowering, inclusive, affirming beliefs.  This leads to a deeper faith, being more in love with Spirit, and being more aligned with the simplicity and love of Jesus! It helps us be more free. And who doesn’t want you to be free??  People who want to control you! And they are trying to convince you that deconstruction is a bad thing. It’s not! You do not need to be scared of deconstruction. Faith should be about questions we can’t answer, instead of answers we can’t question.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1352353/fan_mail/new">Send us a private message. *Note: INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS if you'd like us to answer. :-) </a><a rel="payment" href="https://www.freedhearts.org/donate">Support the show</a>
