Trying to reconstruct your faith after the devastation of faith deconstruction can feel like an impossible and incredibly lonely journey.
When I walked through my own faith reconstruction journey, I felt like I was constantly throwing crap against the wall and praying something would stick.
I had no idea what I was doing, to be completely honest with you.
It was a lonely and frustrating place to be.
I didn't know what I believed, what I didn't believe, how to process the damage of my religious upbringing and faulty theology, or where to go from here.
Does this sound familiar to you at all?
I'm so grateful to the therapists, friends, and family members who let me talk, helped me process, and helped me heal. I'm also beyond thankful for the community over at Hope*Writers and Hope*Books who believed in me enough to allow me to write about my journey and create the resources to help you on your own faith reconstruction journey.
Do you have a desire to reconstruct your faith, but you feel alone, don't know where to start, or are stuck somewhere in the messy middle?
I get it...completely.
Do you have a desire to reconstruct your faith into something of your own, to work through your emotions related to your deconstruction journey, and to discover your belief system for yourself?
I get it...completely.
Are you overwhelmed and struggling with:
what beliefs you held that were faulty?
the catalyst for your deconstruction?
the damage from your faulty theology?
Or, did you work through those things during your deconstruction and now you're trying to:
figure out your faith priorities?
identify what you believe to be true?
discard what you know isn't true?
Maybe you're stuck in the middle of:
your grief.
your hurt.
your anger.
Or, have you started the process of reconstruction, but you're struggling to find:
your network.
your community.
your circle.
