Deconstructing Your Faith Without Losing Yourself [262]

Deconstruction can seem daunting, and you might find yourself becoming fearful of even starting. But let me tell you this: Deconstruction doesn’t have to mean losing your church family. Deconstruction doesn’t have to mean losing your faith. Deconstruction doesn’t have to mean losing your relationship with God.

In today’s episode, Angela Herrington joins us to talk about the following:

• How faith deconstruction intersects with the process of healing from emotional and spiritual abuse
• How you can deconstruct and still keep your church and the people within it who matter to you
• What role forgiveness plays in our faith journey if we’ve experienced abuse, and so much more.
