Christian AF Podcast
- A Reconstructionist Podcast -Christian AF was born after a few long conversations over good beers, where we realized that life, and faith, aren't as simple as we grew up believing. We started wondering why asking questions was frowned upon, or why we had to accept what we've always been told as the truth. Maybe some things aren't as black and white as we'd like to think. So, we set out to create a space to have an HONEST dialogue that welcomes questions, doubts, and fears about faith, church culture, and everything in between. The three of us behind the mics are no experts, but our goal is to help listeners start asking questions or maybe even find some answers. Christian AF is a podcast for people who are over church, have been burned by church, don’t get church, or have been told not to question their faith. So as we like to say, kick back, grab a drink, and start questioning!
(Christian AF is based out of Rockford, IL run by members of Grassroots Church).

Episode 124 - Deconstructing Deconstruction
Deconstruction. The word that sends evangelicals into a cold sweat and has half of social media in a theological meltdown. But what does it really mean? Are people deconstructing their faith, or just ditching the bad theology they were handed as kids? In this episode of the Christian AF Podcast, Jesse, Jen, and Evan grab a drink (or two) and dig into the messy, weird, and sometimes necessary world of deconstruction.
We’re talking about why people deconstruct, the biggest triggers (hello, bad church experiences and terrible theology), and why some folks get stuck in the questioning phase without ever moving forward. Is deconstruction just an excuse to "sin without guilt," or is there something deeper going on? We’ll also dive into how to raise kids with a faith that won’t require a total overhaul by the time they hit 20.
No easy answers, just honest conversation, plenty of sarcasm, and probably an unnecessary amount of side tangents.
Oh, and did we mention? The Lone Canary (aka Jesse’s band) is releasing a new album, and they need your help! Check out their Kickstarter here and help them release their new album!
So pour a drink, take a deep breath, and join us as we deconstruct deconstruction.
