About this episode
Chris spoke with two first-time guests, Sarah Bessey and Sarah McCammon about the Exvangelical movement and so-called 'deconstruction' in American Christianity. They speak about their own experiences in conservative, evangelical Christianity, how they approached deconstruction, what they are observing about deconstruction in our cultural moment, and of course, what they are currently reading.Books Mentioned in this Episode:If you’d like to order any of the following books, we encourage you to do so from Hearts and Minds Books(An independent bookstore in Dallastown, PA, run by Byron and Beth Borger) Field Notes for the Wilderness: Practices for an Evolving Faith by Sarah BesseyThe Exvangelicals: Loving, Living and Leaving the White Evangelical Church by Sarah McCammonJesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes du MezWhere God Happens: Discovering Christ in One Another by Rowan WilliamsStrange Gods: A Secular History of Conversion by Susan JacobyShark Heart: A Love Story by Emily HabeckThe Understory: An Invitation to Rootedness and Resilience from the Forest Floor by Lore Ferguson WilbertBraiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall KimmererBite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees by Aimee NezhukumatathilWorld of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks and Other Astonishments by Aimee Nezhukumatathil
