Welcome to this AI-generated podcast series, based on Deconstruction as Discipleship: A Credo for a Christ-like Community Wrestling with Faith by Mike Houston. Drawing from over 35 years of church leadership, Mike shares his personal journey alongside the stories of others who have walked with him. Through theological, biblical, and pastoral reflection, he engages with scholars, writers, and contemporary culture to explore the evolving landscape of Christian faith.
In this series, we distil the key insights from Mike’s paper, focusing on how faith deconstruction—often seen as a crisis—can actually be a sacred and necessary process. Mike argues that when approached thoughtfully, faith disruption can become a transformative path toward a “Jesus-shaped” spirituality and a more authentic, compassionate Christian community.
This first episode corresponds to Chapter One of the paper, where we explore the meaning and significance of the term deconstruction within a faith and wider context.
