In this episode, we discuss what it’s like to lose your identity as a Christian and the subsequent challenge of finding a new way to belong so you can experience that feeling of community. We define “faith deconstruction” and some of the joys and pitfalls of this experience. Eventually we hit upon “consciousness” and what it means to really go deep into the “I” of who am I? We touch upon losing one’s sense of meaning and purpose and how that can open up a whole new world of possibility and hope and enjoyment. Underlining this whole episode is the acknowledgement that you are not what you think you are… and it’s that recognition that sets the stage for an incredible, new kind of spiritual journey.
