349 - How Evangelicals Greatly Misunderstand "Deconstructed" Christians
Show Notes

Katie Hays is an author, church planter, pastor, educated at MIT, Yale and Princeton: and she taught us a new word: "Fundagelical."  That's what her and I (Joey) were, before going through the scary process of faith change.  With her new book ("God Gets Everything God Wants") as the context, we discuss a variety of topics:

-How we were once both convinced of our narrow view of faith being the only right one.
-Accepting the bible has multiple "takes" on a particular subject and inerrancy falls a part.
-How evangelicals' "gospel news" may be incomplete
- Blame the "capital C church" needs to accept
-The "slippery slope" of deconstruction that led to our freedom
-The humility required for deconstruction.
-Rarely does  one set out to deconstruct her faith.
-What the church has learned from the LGBTQ community
-The relentless faith and devoutness of a "deconstructed Christian."
-The pain of loved ones' misunderstandings of your deconstruction 
- When Joey's mom was with child (with Joey), prophesies were made about Joey by a spirit-filled prayer group of Catholic women 

On a "fun scale" of 1-10, this conversation was a 10 for me.   -- Joey
