In Episode 3 of our series, Christian Deconstruction and Reconstruction: Finding Faith Again, we describe the faith we're actually building.\nWe discuss why we understand God as love itself, not control and punishment. We explain why we read the Bible as revealing people's experience of God and why wrestling with interpretations in community matters, rather than seeing it as an inherent answer book. Why believing in Jesus should focus on following his Way of Life rather than prioritizing his death. And why salvation is not an escape from hell but an invitation to seek individual and collective flourishing - or, as Jesus explained it, build the beloved community \"on earth as it is in heaven.\"\nIn this episode we discuss:\nWhat we couldn't say out loud in the churches we came from\nGod as love, immanence, and \"what happens when we reach out to one another\"\nReading scripture through a Jesus-centered lens\nWhy Christianity done well centers radical inclusivity, intentional community, and advocacy for neighbors\nThe difference between a Christianity about Jesus and a Christianity of Jesus\n\nIf you grew up in the church and something felt wrong, you're in the right place. \nThis is Episode 3 of our 4-part series on Deconstructing & Reconstructing Christianity.
