Why subscribe?

Ever wondered why some people just disappear from church? Why you feel so drained after a Sunday spent in church… like, you need a rest from the day of rest? Why you seem to stumble into one unhealthy relationship after another? Why your faith feels more and more like a chore? Why you find yourself sympathizing with Gandhi, who famously said, “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians”?

Or maybe it’s your loved one who’s struggling and you can’t figure out what it is about the Christian faith that is making them so tired and angry?

Deconstruction is the process of unpacking—of peeling away the layers of custom, cliché, and tradition that have been piled over the primary meaning.

And it all starts with a little bit of doubt. A question.

Why me?

I’m an HSP and a PK with 10+ years of experience in Biblical studies, Christian literature translation, and applied linguistics. (You should definitely subscribe if you have no clue about any of the stuff I just mentioned—or if you do, but you’re still dissatisfied.)

As of my divorce, I have also become a member of the unofficial losers-at-life club, so the pressure to perform is off at least.

Anyways, whilst I could gladly debate the manuscript context of the inerrancy doctrine, I have little faith or hope in apologetics. I’m more interested in the sweat-and-blood brutality of everyday life, and why things so often don’t add up even though the math seems so perfect and holy.

Let’s take five together

This is (hopefully!) a reading for Christians and non-Christians alike who are feeling dissatisfied with their growth and are ready to ask some questions—but also to opt out, take five, and lie down with a novel in a public park.
