“As I’ve begun my journey down the road to deconstruction I was challenged on many front by what I would face ahead. For year I believed what I believed because I had heard it for others who a “wiser” or “more spiritually mature” than me. Never stopping to ask myself did I truly believe what they were saying. I maintained the status quo and while I was there my heart felt empty. I told everyone around me and even myself that I believed in Jesus, but I said that with my words, like a reactionary measure to solution oriented argument. In my heart I questioned whether I ever really did. But here is the good news! God loves me regardless of the mistakes I’ve made, I don’t owe anything, I don’t have to earn anything. I just need to love God and love people. Because of amazing people in my community and people like Matt, Jamal, and Keith, my heart is stirred with a new vigor to serve and love others!
I encourage anyone who is on a path for deconstruction/reconstruction or whatever vernacular you with to use to check out this podcast! If you don’t get anything else from it, you’ll at least hear a lot of color language and funny dad jokes. But if you really listen and ponder through what is being said, I’m confident that it will challenge you ask question and draw close to LOVE. God bless. Remember to ask What does love require?!
None Who Wander Are Lost!
