EP84: How Deconstruction Leads to Intimacy with Jeremy Hilliard and Dr. Shannan Crawford

Deconstructing ones faith has become common practice in the last few years. It's a sometimes terrifying and hopeless process that leaves a person feeling jaded and violated. This week, Jeremy Hilliard walks us through his seasons of deconstruction, how it affected his family, what the true purpose of it was, and how he came out the other side with a new vitality.

Whether you are a Christian or not, we want this to be a safe space for discussing how you interpret the universe, spirituality, humanity, God, science, and everything in between. We encourage you to keep asking the hard questions, and be led with kindness when disagreements inevitably arise.
