dear ex-christians, this is why we’re not okay: - no more bible? no more rules! - no more rules? freedom! - wait, i can do anything? - …what do i do now? strangely enough, freedom takes some getting used to.
after leaving christianity I didn’t know who I was anymore, and I realized why: I never knew who I was to begin with! in christianity, we are taught to hate the real us - jesus died for that nasty thing! as christians, we took sick pleasure in hating the authentic self, and being thankful for the plastic one instead! today we talk about the beauty of looking at the roots of who we really are, and sitting with that being who is already perfect “as we are, not as we should be, because no one is as they should be.” - brennan manning
on today’s deconstruction therapy, we talk about: - being in shock after leaving christianity - bizarre physical symptoms - am I fringe?? - looking for answers no one seems to have - astrology - birth charts/houses - what is reality? - alien abduction - dolores cannon - current spiritual viewpoint
on today’s deconstruction therapy, we talk about: - my brother’s death - tarot cards, guides, new age - my “new” mission - pre-life contracts - the hard reality and challenges of deconstructing my christian faith
On today’s deconstruction therapy, we talk about: hell was the tipping point the “dangerous” deconstruction movement constructing my perfect LGBTQIA+ argument suppressing my christian doubts for 10+ years Do we choose deconstruction, or does deconstruction choose us?
On today’s deconstruction therapy, we talk about: - leaving my prophetic ministry - hearing an audible voice - growing up in the prosperity gospel - being a “prayer warrior" - the “kabad glory” of God - angelic encounters - my parents’ house churches
are you worthy? OR worthless? on today's episode we’re talking about what it means to be “counted worthy” as a christian... but let’s see what those silly little rascals are ACTUALLY saying sans christian word salad!
what happens when... there is no more "saving souls"? no longer a specific "mission" or "purpose" to "be on fire" for? what happens to all of that "fire"? today we're talking about the aftershock post-christian deconstruction, evangelizing/messiah complex, religious ptsd and spiritual amnesia.
"vivian" (poem) by missy gordon the night falls my dreams repeat the message of a life passed on and soon after the morning rises did I pass? “life is not a test” the sky told me that but i was sure it was then what is it? to my surprise, the sky replied:“ what do you want it to be?” i thought about the line from pretty woman when richard gere asks julia roberts for her name “vivian. my name is vivian.” am I only here for the night forgotten in the morning? curls tucked under my wig nameless, faceless like an empty soul wandering the primordial plane? truthfully, i asked “no”, the wind responded curtly but I didn’t believe him he asks me for my name “what do you want it to be,” i laughed no, he said what do you want it to be?
"grief is > death" (poem) by missy gordon grief is more than death have you ever lost someone? an old friend? a lover? a beloved pet? have you ever lost something? a job? a house? a dream? an aspect of you? grief is more than death grief is loss grief is wandering grief is aimless and the road can be long and winding without an end in sight but the end will come and when it comes we see the light and we understand that the end was a new beginning an evolution of us
today we talk about my 26 year old brother mitch's sudden passing, and how my parent's tried to raise him from the dead. plot twist: if anybody believed that my brother would be raised from the dead, it would have been me.
my youngest brother mitch died suddenly a little over a month ago (april, 2023), i wanted to share with you the poem that i wrote for his eulogy (elegy) and some of my favorite pictures from his life. "ever after" (poem) by missy gordon ever after, evermore only after, not before gripping tightly, to my core only after, never toward words i wish i’d said: i wish the timelines met the secret keeper said, “live a life with no regrets you never could have known the future isn’t shown the past is in the past the now is all we have” ever after, every more only after, not before heavenward and heaven sent i hope you know how much you meant i’ll see you always, in my dreams life’s not as daunting as it seems observing hope through angels’ wings eternal spring, my soul still sings ever after, evermore only after, not before we realize the change we make not a day early, not a day late your spirit lives on so does the answer forevermore, my heart remembers ever after, evermore forever remembered forever adored
