My Journey Through Deconstruction

Ever been in that stage when you question everything you ever believed in? This is pretty much the hardest place to be in your faith work because now you barely know what you believe and are ready to believe only what you know.

Deconstruction is an important phase in one's faith journey however, as coming out of it reveals a more independent believer who no longer have believes that he has no clue why he believes them. Such a person literally becomes a "knower" and will become a really good sound teacher of whatever he now knows. However there is danger in staying too long in that phase, or not coming out at all of it.

I am a Christian, and in my late teenage years I began to ask serious questions about the Christian faith and the whole idea of life. Who really is God and why does it seem he is both good and evil but you tell me he is pure love?

It wasn't just curiosity; I had a lot of sad experiences that year. I began to self isolate from church folks and wanted a distraction. I was in this sadness when I stumbled into some new age ideas. They seemed pretty cool and comforting that I believed I found my answers in them. I met some other people in Deconstruction like me too who we believed in this new found focus together. The Bible became to me one of the many sources of history knowledge and I felt fulfilled. Wherever the Bible was not adding up, then a new age idea. but occasionally I would get depressed so bad that I really wanted to die.

I soon discovered that when Jesus said the truth sets free, he meant it. It was 6 mounts into deconstruction that I went, at which time I got my ideas from just about any place. But when I decided to believe only in God's words and not think about the things I couldn't not understand, I found me a peace no one could provide.

Call it guilt, but I could have remained a deconstructing Christian who finds no way ahead, however I discovered that while it is good to demand answers, deconstruction is not the place to remain, because eventually, everyone is going to have believes. What happens your only believe becomes you don't know what to believe?
