This week Danny and Emily are joined by Carlos Fernandez of the Deconstruct Everything Podcast. These three share an honest conversation about deconstruction, losing faith in the church, colonization, race, and more. You won't regret tuning in this week for sure. 

This week Emily sits down and chats with one of the creators of The Dirty Rotton Church Kids. Deconstruction, humor, antics... it's all here... you won't want to miss it!

This week Danny and Emily unpack the role of questions, doubts, and certainty within the journey of deconstruction. Is doubt productive, or is it a slippery slope to hell? Listen and let us know what you think! 

This week Emily turns the table on Danny and asks him to unpack how his divorce impacted him as a pastor. 

This week Dustin hops from behind the camera and joins Emily and Danny for a year-one recap of The Deconstruction Zone. They unpack some of the behind-the-scenes conversations that have led to our on-camera conversation. This week's topic... is Emily still a Chrisitan?

What we think about God can deeply influence how we experience God. Do we think God is apathetic? Or is God inherently personal? Maybe God sits somewhere in the middle? This week Emily and Danny share a pretty honest conversation about where God is in the crap and work towards reflecting on their own relationships with God. 

This week Emily is joined by special guest Krispin Mayfield, an Oregon-based Licensed Professional Counselor, with advanced training in attachment-based therapy. Together these two dive deep into the depths of the psychology of what makes deconstruction so difficult, while also processing their personal emotions about where they currently sit in their own deconstruction.

Deconstruction does not come without some level of grieving and loss. Whether it's friends, families, churches, or certainty - we all likely are grieving the loss of something or someone. This week Emily and Danny walk through each step as they relate to the deconstruction journey.

This week Emily processes the misguided help that often comes from her former church friends and family. How do you handle when those who used to be closest to you now think you're on a one-way path to hell? It's a difficult path and conversation, but Danny and Emily try their best to process in real-time.
