- 035 - Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?DETAILS:This week, Cody and Elaine talk about if it is ok for Christians to celebrate Halloween. They talk about the origin of the holiday (and many others for that matter), the meanings behind it, the symbolism, and how its changed over the years. They also talk about churches hosting “Fall Festivals” and if they are really just the same thing. There is a lot that we actively do every day without understanding it’s origin. From holidays to church steeples, this episode unpacks many traditions we hold so near and dear to our hearts and exposes the truth behind them. Buckle up and leave your religiosity at the door, because this episode is going to be one howl of a ride!---DEFINITION:Hal·low·een: /ˌhaləˈwēn/ - the night of October 31, the eve of All Saints' Day, commonly celebrated by children who dress in costume and solicit candy or other treats door-to-door.---JOIN THE COMMUNITY:If you'd like to keep the conversation going, we want to invite you, our reckless listeners, to join The Reckless Community!

- 034 - Deconstructing Christianity (Part 2)DETAILS:This week, Cody and Elaine continue to hear from five people who have been through or are deconstructing Christianity. Last week, you heard their stories. This week, hear their answers to these questions: “What made you realize what you thought you believed might not be all there is to believe?” and “ How has God changed and who is He to you now versus who He was to you then?” - Also, Cody and Elaine share their beliefs and how they have grown, deconstructed, and reconstructed. Remember: This is a time to learn about one-another and to come together and grow. If you are one of the 43% who have gone or are going through deconstruction, we hope you know you’re not alone. If you are one of the 57% who haven’t, use this tool to understand and relate to those you love who are going through a lot in their mental and spiritual journeys.PLEASE NOTE:This is part 2 of our series on Deconstructing Christianity.

- 033 - Deconstructing Christianity (Part 1)DETAILS:This week, Cody and Elaine hear from five people who have been through or are going through deconstruction. They talk about what deconstruction is, what it looks like, and what it feels like. They discuss the statistics around deconstruction and how certain backgrounds change the way in which we deconstruct. Then, you will hear each one of their individual deconstruction stories and key take aways from each. Deconstructing Christianity can be an intense topic, but even more so for those of us who have been through it. Let’s come together to understand one another and to learn what goes on behind the veil of the mind and how faith has to be experienced in a personal way, not just taught.PLEASE NOTE:This is part one in a two part episode.---DEFINITION:de·con·struct: /ˌdēkənˈstrəkt/ - reduce (something) to its constituent parts in order to reinterpret it.---JOIN THE COMMUNITY:If you'd like to keep the conversation going, we want to invite you, our reckless listeners, to join The Reckless Community!

- 032 - True Ministry, The Art Of The Great CommissionDETAILS:Why do some people get the “luxury” of working for church and the rest of us peasants get stuck in the… (wait for it) marketplace? - This week, Cody and Elaine talk about the art of the great commission. They talk about how ministry happens most outside those four walls and how often churches act more as a container to suppress God than a vessel to pour Him out. They discuss what true ministry looks like and speak first hand to how working for a church isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and how ministry isn’t reserved for just the Sunday pulpit. - It’s time to stop placing pastors on pedestals and church buildings above the real church: us.---DEFINITION:min·is·try: /ˈminəstrē/ - the work or vocation of a minister of religion.---JOIN THE COMMUNITY:If you'd like to keep the conversation going, we want to invite you, our reckless listeners, to join The Reckless Community!
