A podcast about pursuing meaningful spirituality after faith deconstruction.
Join Karen and Dave, two former Evangelical Christians, as they explore topics like deconstruction, Christianity, mysticism, and consciousness. But most importantly, they discuss this new way of being in the midst of parenting, careers, and going about daily life.
The relationships between power, selfishness, value, and purpose
In this final episode of our 1st season, we discuss powerlessness, control, value, purpose, and selfishness. Karen shares insights around how we use the term “selfish” as a way to control others, and talks about her experience of letting go of defining herself in terms of “value” or “worth.” Dave adds important clarifications and thoughts around power and releasing the need to make meaning out of this journey. We hit on some heavy topics and would love to hear what you think about it all! Email us at FromBelievingToEing@gmail.com

How to handle our emotions
If we're not our emotions, what do we do with them? In this episode, we discuss how to handle emotions and what to do with the especially difficult ones. Dave shares the acronymn phrase R.A.I.D. on A.N.T.S, as one approach to dealing with our feelings. We dive deep into the idea of compassion and the role it plays for ourselves and others, and look at how being detached or disidentified with our emotions eventually enables us to be more loving and understanding people.
