Deconstruction invites us to become really honest about what we believe, why we hold those beliefs sacred, how they influence the way we relate to our creator, and who is actually served by our beliefs. If we trust the process enough to lower our walls and honestly engage with our questions, deconstruction promises to reveal undiscovered bias, limiting beliefs, and any flawed doctrines that actively harm people. - Angela J. HerrringtonBack for round two, Angela J. Herrington, comes on the podcast as our guest this week. We are doubly-thrilled to have her back! Angela is a deconstructing mama to five kiddos, a deconstruction coach and as of late, an author to a brand-new book!Whether you are deconstructing due to curiosity, uncertainty, or a compelling inner voice, Angela helps you explore the deeply personal journey of faith deconstruction compassionately and without judgment. Together, the two of you will slog through the uncertainties and complexities of faith deconstruction. Laughing, crying, and raging against the toxic religious machine together.On this podcast episode, we find out why Angela is so passion about writing her new book Deconstructing your Faith without Losing Yourself and especially tackle these questions:1. Is deconstruction a trend? Why or why not?2. How do we navigate deconstruction without losing what feels like our core selves?3. What tools are there to sort through our ideas and beliefs and why is a sense of autonomy/internal authority so important in this process?4. How do we navigate the resentments that we might still hold for our old church, family members, belief systems?  We also discover what hope there is for our kids as we navigate a shifting and evolving faith, especially perhaps the importance of a relationship with themselves, so vital and different than perhaps the way we grew up.Angela is feisty and fantastic (if we say so ourselves). You will find yourself nodding along and saying lots of "me toos" and "amens" (if that's even still allowed - winky face).You can find Angela at the following:Website:  www.angelajherriington.comFacebook: Angela J HerringtonThe Faith Deconstruction Cafe Instagram:  @angelajherringtonPinterest:  @angelajherringtonX:  @angherringtonLinked In: Angela J HerringtonYouTube:  Angela J Herrington
