You Can and Do Take it With You

In this episode Emily and her guest discuss not just what we deconstruct, but the things we hold on to when we leave—what we choose to keep and what we shed in hopes of finding healing and a catalyst for change. Her guest this week is Ryan Mulkowsky. Ryan (he/him) is a hospice chaplain and bereavement coordinator for a large hospice in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area. He is also a Grief Recovery Method Specialist with the Grief Recovery Institute. He has earned a bachelor and two masters degrees in the areas of religion, philosophy and divinity. He is a former pastor and has also talked extensively about his spiritual deconstruction and his eventual leaving the Christian faith. Ryan is also the host of the podcast Some Random Thoughts where he discusses a wide variety of social and cultural topics.

Purpose. Hope. Justice. For all those harmed in white evangelical spaces. Emily is a blogger who has been writing about faith deconstruction and religious trauma related topics for 3 years. As someone who grew up inside white evangelicalism (of the charismatic Pentecostal variety) and didn't leave until she was 35 years old, she's done everything from children's ministry, to church administrative work, to leading small groups and ministries, to church finance, to writing small group curriculum. Now she advocates for those who've been abused by those same church systems and doctrine.
