May 24, 2022 Releasing Our Feelings (Instead of Bottling Them)
We have moralized the experiences of feeling either UP (it’s good!) or DOWN (that’s bad). It’s seen as better to be happy, peppy, and positive; whereas if you’re feeling blue or sad or angry, we’ve turned that in to a negative. Part of what still needs deconstructing for many of us is this moralization of our emotional world. Rather than bottling or repressing our “down” feelings, may we learn to name, accept, and release them.

May 19, 2022 Deconstructing While Still Going to Church
Lots of us have experienced a kind of Deconstruction from conservative/evangelical religion. A good portion of those folks have left the church entirely (for very good reasons). But some of us have remained in the world of church. And then a handful of us (like, well, Kate & Colby) have both stayed AND tried to LEAD churches. What is like to try and deconstruct while still attending (and leading!) church?
This is a faaaaascinating conversation!!

April 21, 2022 Transgender Soul Care (with Austen Hartke)
You know what can suck? Reading your Bible and feeling like you are neither
included nor counted.
You know what can be incredibly healing? Having someone show you how, in
fact, you are right there on the page, part of the story.
This is one of the many gifts Austen Hartke gives people, a way to read the
Bible so that trans and gender-expansive people see themselves in
scripture.

April 04, 2022 Why We Don't Entirely Identify with the #Deconstruction Movement
In part three of our series, “Quote, unQuote, Deconstruction,” we attempt to get a little more clear about why it is that we don’t always entirely resonate with or connect to the #Deconstruction movement. We totally affirm the value of such language and terms, and yet sometimes we find ourselves feeling, well, not very deconstruction-y.

March 29, 2022 Investigating Our Savior Complexes
Continuing our series, “Quote, unQuote, Deconstruction,” we talk about how we grew up being told a story where we were responsible for the eternal safety of our loved ones. We needed to get them to be Christians, or else they’d spend forever in hell. Now, even on the other side of such (bad) theology, we still suffer from the impact of a kind of savior complex.

March 17, 2022 Recovering an Enchanted Faith in a Skeptical Age (with Richard Beck)
More and more people don't believe in God anymore. At least, not as they've previously thought of "God."
In our modern, secular age, dominated by science and technology, is there space for enchantment any longer? Or have we left all that behind?
In his latest book, "Hunting Magic Eels" (https://amzn.to/3gpDIWz) Richard Becks offers a way to re-enchant our faith in the midst of this, our skeptical age.
We met Richard years ago at our church camp, and instantly we knew he was one of our favs.
Hope you enjoy either getting to know him for the first time, or learning more about his latest work!

Including the many unique insights and observations about power, sex, and the patriarchy.
We've been friends with Paula for several years now, learning from her wisdom and experience in ministry, as well as being the recipients of her giant heart for humanity.
It's an honor to have Paula back on the Show!

December 28, 2021 The Crossroads of Joy and Pain (with Stephanie Tait)
As an author, speaker, disability advocate, and trauma survivor, Stephanie Tait aims to do what she believes is sorely lacking in and around Christianity--connect sound theology and practice with the unashamed acceptance of struggle in the present tense.
According to Stephanie, pain does not exist on a spectrum opposite of joy. Rather, pain, with the way it weaves into our lives, families, and work habits, has been the connecting point of grace and struggle that defines her career.
Come be a part of what will surely be a real, raw, and fascinating conversation!
