This is a special one for me, because I felt like a proper fangirl recording this conversation. Jo Luehmann has played a big role in my deconstruction of faith and I am forever grateful to her for who she is and what she does.
Jo is a Colombian born and raised pastor with a Masters degree in ministry and theology. This woman knows her stuff. You just have to have one look at her IG or listen to her for 5 minutes and she will blow you away. Jo teaches about decolonizing + dismantling theology (and what the difference is) a lot - and it's something we cover in this episode as well. Apart from that we also speak about her own journey and the questions that kicked off her deconstruction, why deconstruction is not enough and where she has landed on today. 

One thing that fascinates me is that she calls herself a Christian, even though she does not subscribe to the 'You are a sinner, Jesus died for you' message at all: you will find out how she defines that and what Christianity means to her. 

We speak about her work with @dobetterchurch , a team that fights to hold churches accountable for the individual and collective abuse that gets covered up, about learning your own intuition when you have religious trauma and a lot more that's too good to miss.

As always, be kind and respectful online (and IRL) x

My guest in todays episode is Tyson Joseph, he is a producer and director from London, founder of STORIES LIKE US and stories are his BIG passion, you'll be able to hear that from the minute he starts talking.
This chat is so full of gold nuggets. Tyson was generous in sharing his own story and how that has shaped him. Storytelling is a big responsibility and an honour. And Tyson is very particular about the difference of telling a story about someone and a story that actually reflects someone.

We talk about growth and love too - and the running theme throughout this episode is ultimately living in truth, whether that is in work, in your relationships, in your mindset. Using your story to walk yourself home. Back to the authentic, healthiest version of yourself. 

I really hope this conversation fires you up the way it did with me. I hope it makes you remember who you are and what makes you the most alive.
Enjoy, subscribe and share! xx

Todays guest is Phil Drysdale. I first found Phil on Instagram because of his hilarious christian deconstruction memes: https://www.instagram.com/phildrysdale/

This is the second episode on this podcast about faith deconstruction, I have done one before with Joshua Harris, the author of I kissed dating goodbye, if you haven’t listened to that one, that might be interesting for you too.

Phil Drysdale helps people loose their faith :) That is what his bio says but it’s much much more than that. When you deconstruct christianity or any other faith you are not set out to loose it. That is not the intention. You have questions. You are understanding , knowing new things from different perspectives. Things that once you. Know them you just cannot un-know them , it’s impossible, there is no turning back. Phil went through this process himself , is going through it, we are never done. And he simply helps people through the stage they are at. It’s one thing we cover extensively in this episode : the different psychological stages of growth and development and what they mean in the christian context , in a deconstruction context.

Personally, I have often struggled with those stages and relating to people in stages that I have outgrown and relating to my former self in those former stages. That’s something Phil explains so generously in this conversation. We also speak about what to do with those difficult emotions like pain, shame , guilt once you are not a christian anymore. How to transform those emotions, we talk about shadow work and so many other things

If you are a deconstructing christian , or an ex-christian you are going to find this episode so enlightening and healing , there is no doubt in my mind.
Hope you enjoy this episode and it makes you feel less alone on your journey! Follow Phil here and check out the Deconstruction Network he created:

Today's delightful guest is Soraya Stuart, mental health blogger, host for Black Minds Matter and human extraordinaire.  

Soraya started posting and sharing about mental health before it was everywhere and she does it so generously, with a lot of heart, humour and honesty. She did not hold back in this episode, sharing about therapy, her mental health journey, family, racism in the workplace, how a religious upbringing influenced her mental health, how she handles social media and what 2020 taught her. 

One of my favourite quotes from this chat is: “Don’t be afraid to burn bridges if you don’t plan to walk back”

I hope you take value from our conversation - if you do, please leave a little review, it would mean so much! Enjoy this episode xx
