Deconstructing Thanksgiving - All Things Reconsidered ep. 29

Thanksgiving can be a difficult holiday for Exvangelical Christians in the midsts of faith deconstruction, both because of grappling with the history of colonization, and because of difficult conversations with family who are unsupportive of our evolving beliefs. Brandon McAlpine and Joey Trieb give their advice on navigating these relationships while deconstructing, and how we can get away from the white colonizer myths around Thanksgiving to make the holiday focused on indigenous peoples. Before this, the guys discuss the recent Gospel Coalition article about deconstruction and the "Let's Go Brandon" chant at John Hagee's church.   Welcome to All Things Reconsidered - where we navigate through deconstructing and reconstructing our faith together. Brandon McAlpine and Joey Trieb are exfundamentalist exvangelical Christians who have deconstructed away from Bible literalism and other harmful theology like that Rapture, Creationism, Christian Nationalism and purity culture.      New episodes every Monday!

We are 2 friends who met in Bible College and have gone through some faith reconstruction. We each have a unique perspective - Joey is a former youth pastor who grew up in the Charismatic Evolution-denying Pokemon-hating Kirk-Cameron-loving church world and Brandon is a worship leader who was not raised in a religious home. We are not experts or theologians but we are in the process of deconstructing our old beliefs to rebuild a stronger faith and we invite you to learn along with us. New episodes every Monday!
