The sixth and final episode of a 6-part limited series on Deconstructing Faith. This week, we're interviewing Rev. Eric Burton-Krieger and hearing about his faith story...and it's a very different from Mindie and Jon's experiences. We'll hear what it looks like to have a faith that doesn't need to be deconstructed, but still has room to grow and evolve. 

The fifth episode of a 6-part limited series on Deconstructing Faith. This week, we're looking at how we parent and nurture faith in our homes, even in the middle of deep change or uncertainty about what our own faith might look like. What are the rituals we hold on to from our own childhoods? What are new things we want to try? And maybe most importantly: how do we let God's grace lead the way as we navigate this complicated thing called parenting? 

The fourth episode of a 6-part limited series on Deconstructing Faith. This week, we're going home and exploring the tensions of deconstructing faith while navigating our families of origin. We'll cover the good, the bad, and the grace that we can find as we live into our changing faith, even if it looks different than the faith of our childhood. 

The third episode of a 6-part limited series on Deconstructing Faith. This week we look at a dynamic duo: deconstruction and church trauma. Why do these two things seem to go together? And what could it look like for faith to heal in the aftermath of a painful church experience?

This is the second episode of a 6-part limited series on Deconstructing Faith. This week, we're exploring a unique and sometimes painful part of deconstruction: losing a faith community. We'll share stories about the ways our social circles shifted, the people who journeyed with us, and the new communities and practices we found along the way. 

The first episode of a 6-part limited series on Deconstructing Faith. Jon and Mindie will share their own stories of deconstructing and rebuilding faith, how to do faith-y things when your faith changes, and why deconstruction might be a huge gift to our connection to God.
