“The apocalypse that has visited Christian faith in America is challenging us to repent and reform without deconstructing ourselves to death (or undeath), without dismantling our faith to annihilation, leaving only a shell. The necessary suffering that invites us to deconstruct our empire business is not a permanent condition. It is a temporary work meant to bring us into a second-half-of-life faith, into true flourishing.”

“Deep emotional and spiritual damage are the legacy of authoritarianism in the church. It has left many of us picking up the pieces of our lives, trying to make sense of them, trying to keep hoping and believing, sometimes in vain.”

“The deconstructive process is a total kind of thing, with no easy answers, no quick solutions. When you are no longer under any illusions about God or church or community or calling or family or relationships, you can’t just switch gears, pull a U-ey, and head on back to Happytown. You’ve got to face the pain in its fullness. You’ve got to feel your way through the darkness. There’s no other choice, unless you want to live in denial, unless you want more of the lie.”
