Deconstruction is hard. I can't change that unfortunately... there is no silver bullet for it. But I have in my own journey and in helping thousands of others navigate the journey picked up some things along the way that make it a bit less hard.

No matter where you are at on your journey of deconstruction if you are finding the process hard I'd encourage you to give this a listen and see if there is anything that can make life a bit easier for you.

In deconstructing we can lose so much, our identity, our certainty, our relationship with God as we knew it, our purpose and direction and so much more. But none of those losses stings as much as the loss of family and friends that can occur as we deconstruct. In this video, I share some helpful tips I've picked up along the way you may be able to use as you "come out" to your friends and family. This won't be an easy process but hopefully, some of this makes it easier. Good luck!

So many as they start to deconstruct panic about what is happening to them. Where is this going? Am I going to be OK? Is this normal? Something I've found working with thousands on this journey is that understanding how humans develop psychologically can bring a great deal of insight into what is happening to us as we deconstruct. It turns out we aren't backsliding or falling apart. We are growing up!

In this video, I talk about the phenomenon that is the Deconstructing Christian. It seems everyone and their mom has an opinion about this hot topic right now. But what I've found is most opinions are just that. Opinions. They aren't very rooted in reality. Deconstruction, as experienced by the community of those leaving conventional Christianity, is not to be conflated with the philosophy of Jacques Derrida nor is it to be conflated with the dictionary definition of just taking down a building. There is a lot more nuance at play and it is important we understand what Deconstruction is both if we are going through that process and if we are not!

In this podcast I get together with my long time good friend and regular on the podcast Dan Heroy. We talk about the shift my ministry has taken over the last few years. And why I am now spending more time helping people outside of the church and traditional Christianity than on the inside of it. We talk about what's happening in the Church today and why there is such a mass exodus of people. And also talk about what needs to be done to address the issue. Hope you like it.

Spiral Dynamics is an amazing model of human psychological development. It tracks how the human mind develops and can give us incredible insight into where, we, others, our families, churches, nations etc. are at in our personal development. It can also give us incredible insight into how we can interact with others at different stages as well as what we ourselves can do to continue to grow up the spiral. Over 70 independent primary studies done over almost 100 years in dozens of different cultures and supported by 100’s of other studies have shown pretty conclusively that there is a direction in which the human psyche moves as it develops. That is to say, the way humans grow and develop has been mapped out quite a bit. We know what steps most people take as they grow in the way they see the world, and this in turn effects how our societies, cultures and faiths look.In this series we look at this roadmap to see where are we on the journey, where are we going and how might we use this information to interact more healthily with others and grow more intentionally. This series is seriously in depth and will take some serious time to work through and will require a lot of additional time to process in serious contemplation if you are to get the most out of them. In this sixth podcast we look at the sixth main stage within Spiral Dynamics. Stage Yellow. The Integral stage. We discuss what makes Yellow tick. What do they value, what drives them. How do they see God, Jesus, The Bible etc. And how we can interact with others at Stage Yellow. You are most likely not at stage Yellow yourself but as more and more of the world is shifting from Orange to Green it's helpful for us to know what the future holds for us as we continue to grow and evolve. I cannot stress enough that this is a HUGE topic that has a massive scope for changing your life. It is also likely to upset you profoundly unless you are already well on the way to deconstructing your faith. You have been warned.

In this episode I talk with Brenda Marie Davies. You may know her as the host of the “God is Grey” channel on YouTube where she discusses sex, sexuality, politics and Christianity. Get strapped in for a really good chat in this episode where Brenda doesn’t pack any punches and shares why the Church needs to wake up and think twice about what it’s teaching about sex and sexuality. Topics discussed: - Brenda’s sexual journey – from chastity balls to “trampage” to sexual integrity. - How purity culture is harming the church - Why purity culture works for some but it doesn’t for many - The dangerous side-effect of the prohibition of sex - Why anti-sex education is harming our kids (and disconnecting them from their families) - How to tell the difference between conviction and guilt/shame - How the church can be teaching about sex better and lots more!

This week, the third and final part of our "Is God Really Good?" series. In this episode we'll be thinking about how Jesus read the Scriptures. If we can establish how He managed to read the Scriptures and come to the conclusion that God is truly a good Father then perhaps we can too.

This week we continue the series looking at the question "Is God Really Good?" - after looking at the uncomfortable truth of our scriptures it's now time to ask, how do we read them? Something we can only do well if we know how the people who first received them read them. So this week we look at how the Jews read the scriptures.

In this first part of a three part series we take an honest look at all the parts of the Bible we don't want to acknowledge are there. You know... the bits where God just simply isn't a very nice person. At least, He certainly doesn't seem to line up very well with His representative Jesus.

In this podcast I chat with Colby Martin who is a pastor from San Diego. Colby has been very outspoken on the topic of affirming the LGBTQ community and wrote a great book called unclobber which I think is one of the easiest to read, well studied and thought out resources for anyone who wants to understand how a Christian can hold an affirming position. Here is some of what we talk about: * Exploring who we really are? * Do certain expressions of church stifle exploring our true identity? * Why communities need to be safe places to ask questions * Why the church is worth saving * Why leaders need to be vulnerable and open * The problem with linking our beliefs to our standing with God * How to handle inter-church relations when there is so much difference of opinion? * Why is homosexuality THE issue in the church? * Why is it most people who change their minds on this topic have a loved one who is LGBTQ? * Is there something we can do to make ourselves more open to changing our views on theological issues? * Is this just a slippery slope?

Why are they leaving? What must the church do? The importance of creating discussion, opening up to questions and making sure people feel heard. Duality and the problems it creates in our faith and churches.

We discuss why trying to love God is the most common objective in Christendom... but what if that motivation while good is actually hurting us and distancing us from God?

This week is part 5 of our 6 part series on Romans. We are going to look at the Law. Everyone's favourite topic! We are going to find that the law is not the Christian's friend and it's not something we are supposed to live under. So what is it? What do we do with all the scriptures about the law?

This week we talk about HOW we read the Bible. We all open the Bible and develop a view on who we are and who God is... but we fail to see often that there are different ways to do this and some are more helpful and others much less helpful to our faith.
