Thanks, Ryan. Good stuff here. Deconstruction isn't thoughtless, hate-filled. It's thoughtful and love seeking. At least this has been true for the people I've been around during the process.

Deconstruction was a source of growth for me in seminary in 1990. Like you, I found the tools to reconstruct faith in the deep Christian contemplative tradition. Reorienting pastoral work towards spiritual development instead of looking for the next marketing innovation is the Reformation of our time. Glad to have found you here on Substack. I wonder what you are reading these days? I have found Andy Root very helpful in understanding how the church itself has become very secular, not really expecting God to act in our lives.
