In this episode, special guest Dana Hicks discusses his book "The Quest for Thin Places: How to Find Spirituality After Deconstruction." Dana shares his journey from being a pastor and professor to experiencing a profound spiritual and personal transformation. He delves into his deconstruction of rigid, institutional religious beliefs and explores the ongoing nature of spiritual growth and reconstruction. The conversation covers topics like the challenges of questioning long-held beliefs, the importance of spirituality beyond organized religion, and the role of personal autonomy and humility in this transformative process. Dana emphasizes the universal human quest for awe, wonder, and connection to something greater, highlighting how he hopes his journey can serve as a compass for others navigating their own spiritual paths.
