    Rev. Ruth Perry hosts her Biblical Exegesis professor, Rev. Dr. Eliezer Valentin-Castanon for a conversation about his journey from being an 18-year-old fundamentalist Pentecostal pastor in Puerto Rico to a District Superintendent in the Baltimore-Maryland Conference of the UMC. His experience of rethinking his faith and considering the writings of liberation theologians is what many would call deconstruction today. It was a time of deep spiritual growth and changed his life, as he moved from a gospel of condemnation to a gospel of love and acceptance.
