Spiritually Homesteading | How to Lose Your Religion & Keep Your Jesus

Your Story With God Deserves to Be Written Down... so let's record it and make it count.
We often forget that God exists outside the Bible and inside your life. LET's talk about that. 

After a decade of a deconstruction, I finally rebuilt my faith and this is what I did to do it. The best part is... my faith is more secure than it was before. I want to do the same for you. 

There maybe a season in your journey where you aren't sure if you can trust the Bible anymore...or if you should ever read it again. I have been in this place and it is both frustrating and scary. Frustrating because everyone keeps pushing the Bible on you. Scary, because what do you do to "connect with God?" without a Bible. Let's talk about that.

Biblical is a word that a lot of believers like to use to persuade and confirm their message or beliefs. But what if they are missing a significant piece of that formula?

A lot of times Biblical and spiritual abuse is masked as "biblical authority," let's unpack the implications on why ignoring the Bible (even if you hate reading the Bible) is not in your best interest.

There are a lot of different types of people who have a lot of different opinions about the Bible. And based on where you are in your journey, whether you are deconstructing or reconstructing or just looking to grow your faith, it can get complicated really quickly. Especially since every source may or may not be wanting to help you the way you were hoping they would. 
Like applying a theory framework that helps with literature, here are a few ways you can look at the Bible and Bible guides.

Let's address the elephant in the room: Christians have a reputation for hypocrisy. The accusation isn't new, and honestly, it's often deserved. But before we pile on religious folks exclusively, we need to recognize something crucial: hypocrisy isn't strictly a Christian thing. It's a human thing.
So why does Christian hypocrisy feel so pervasive? Here are four reasons that go deeper than "they're just bad people."

Throughout history, merging church and state has consistently led to oppression, violence, and the corruption of both institutions. But there's a practical question that exposes the fundamental problem: Which version of Christianity would become official? Which Bible—Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox? Which denomination sets the doctrine?
The moment you try to establish Christianity as a state religion, you're forced to choose one interpretation over thousands of others, effectively making the government an arbiter of theology. History shows this always ends in persecution—of other Christians, of other faiths, and of dissenters. Ironically, separation of church and state doesn't weaken faith; it protects it from being weaponized, diluted, and controlled by political power.
