Putting the Pieces Together After Deconstruction
Putting the Pieces Together After Deconstruction
A class about letting go of one type of faith and rebuilding a new one. Facilitated by Pete Enns and Jared Byas.
"What do we do now?"
During our faith transitions, this was a question we asked ourselves often. What does it mean to be Christian without being certain about who God is? How do we value a Bible that isn’t inerrant? Join Pete Enns and Jared Byas as they reflect on their own personal journey with letting go of a certain type of faith and learning to build a new one. Pete and Jared will share their stories and consider principles, tips, and practices they’ve learned along the way.
This class includes:
Class recording
Q&A session recording
Downloadable class slides
Cost: $25
Topics we’ll cover:
What to do with the Bible after deconstruction
The relationship between order, disorder, and reorder in faith
The difference between community and gatekeeping
Why provisional structure matters
The role of curiosity in rebuilding faith
