I Dislike the D Word Too | Deconstructing, Decolonizing, and What Spiritual Honesty Demands
I Dislike the D Word TooDeconstructing, Decolonizing, and What Spiritual Honesty Demands
Rev Karla has never loved the word deconstructing. For years, it felt harsh. More like demolition than discovery.
In this episode, she reflects on why she still uses the term, what it truly demands, and why deconstructing without decolonizing risks rebuilding the same systems with softer language. This is not a conversation about rejecting the past, but about understanding it honestly and choosing what belongs in the future.
This episode is for anyone who has found themselves questioning what they were taught, sitting with uncertainty, and learning that spiritual honesty often costs comfort but creates space for something real.

Death by Design | Why Defunding Humanitarian Aid is a Spiritual Crisis
This isn’t just another policy shift. This is a spiritual crisis. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking what’s happening with the defunding of USAID—and why it matters for those of us who are deconstructing our faith, reclaiming our values, and learning to see every life as sacred.
Behind the headlines are calculated efforts by billionaires and ideologues to dismantle humanitarian aid, silence compassionate outreach, and replace it with religious control and nationalist agendas. This isn’t efficiency—it’s eugenics in everything but name.
If you’ve ever wondered how Christianity became a weapon for power instead of a force for love and healing, this episode is for you. It’s heavy, yes—but it’s also a call to awaken, to resist, and to live out a spirituality that protects the vulnerable, not abandons them.
This is your reminder that your voice matters. Your compassion matters. And your spiritual path can—and should—be part of the resistance.

Why Spirituality Matters | Seeking Spiritual Meaning in the Daily and Knowing it is Holy
In this episode, I return to the heart of everything I teach: why spirituality matters. For those of us who have untangled from high-control religion, the word spirituality can feel loaded—dismissed, distorted, or used to keep us in fear. But I believe spirituality isn’t about rules or performance—it’s about remembering. Remembering that we are already sacred. Already loved. Already whole.
This conversation is for the ones who no longer pray the way they used to, who wonder if they’re doing it “wrong,” who feel the pull toward something deeper and more honest. If that’s you, I hope this meets you right where you are—and reminds you that your humanity is holy.
Because spirituality matters.Because you matter.
