Welcome to Season 3 of Outgrowing the Good Christian Girl! This is a video version of today's podcast, for all of you who prefer watching to listening! :)

Today we're talking with Kate Boyd, exploring how we understand church and Christian community. Is going to a building on Sunday morning really required of Christians? What was church meant to be? If we could envision a more holistic approach, what would that look like?

HERE ARE TODAY'S QUESTIONS:
Q1: What does deconstruction mean to you? (@4:20)

Q2: For me deconstruction has had a lot to do with how I understand Scripture and its intent. How do you understand biblical intent and how has that evolved on your journey? (@6:32)

Q3: What were your life and faith like growing up? (@13:28)

Q4: When did you start noticing a shift in your faith? (@15:33)

Q5: Would you tell us about your relationship with church during and after deconstruction? (@20:03)

Q6: What do you see as the biblical understanding of church and why? And if you have a lot of anger toward church but don't want to stop joining in community, what do you do? (@23:41)

Q7: Is there anything you'd like to share with people who might be struggling in their relationship with church right now? (@31:05)

Q8: Would you tell us all about Remembered Table? What's your vision for it, how can people get involved, etc? (@36:04)

Q9: How can people join Remembered Table? (@44:04)

Q10: What's the story or meaning behind the name "Remembered Table"? (@44:53)

Q11: What are some things you'd love to see integrated into our own church communities here in the United States? (@47:20)

Q12: Part of deconstruction is asking: What parts of my faith do I bring forward with me, and what parts do I leave behind? So I’m asking all my guests: Do you have any examples of this in your own life that you’d feel comfortable sharing? (@49:54)

Q13: Lastly, you have a ton of resources for people who are trying to navigate faith, deconstruction, and church. Can you tell us about these? Where else can my listeners find you? (@54:17)
