TRIGGER WARNING! This episode involves discussions around sexual assault and religious trauma.
This week's episode comes from the popular TikTok hashtag of deconstructing. This term is used to discuss the stepping away and examining of a faith community that was toxic and harmful to an individual. Derek and Lisa discuss how being in the deconstructing mode of stepping away from a faith community can be hurtful if pursued for too long. And ultimately come to the conclusion that we need to move from deconstructing to reconstructing much sooner than we normally would consider doing so. Reliving our traumas does not need to be the way of life, but rather a momentary marker on a much longer journey. We hope this episode will be as deep and meaningful for you as it was for us.
