Doctrine and theology might sound intimidating. But if you’re a Christian in a faith-crisis, (or a follower of Christ) who thinks about God, asks questions about your faith, or discusses spiritual matters with others, congratulations—you’re already doing theology. Let's discuss!

Some Christians view deconstruction as something dirty or dangerous, even labeling it as a liberal agenda designed to destroy the church and God. But that is not what deconstruction is at all. Let's talk about it.

Through the lens of deconstruction, we question the traditional frameworks of sin, ask what Jesus actually taught, and consider how a more loving, liberating understanding might change everything. If you’ve ever felt crushed by the weight of sin language, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we confront the painful reality of how many LGBTQ+ individuals have been treated by the church. We unpack the hypocrisy of preaching love while practicing exclusion, and ask hard questions about what it truly means to follow Jesus. If you've ever felt rejected, conflicted, or disillusioned by the church’s stance on sexuality, this conversation offers space for honesty, healing, and hope.

For many believers—and even those who’ve walked away—this question hits deeply. The truth is, we’ve been doing the same spiritual “song and dance” for generations. But is that still serving us today?

Is it time to get rid of the church as we know it? In this episode, we take an honest look at the role of organized religion in today’s world—wrestling with its failures, its fading relevance for many, and whether something better could (or should) take its place. Whether you're disillusioned, devoted, or just curious, this conversation invites you to rethink what "church" really means.

Many people today have complicated—sometimes painful—feelings about the Bible. If that’s you, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. For a long time, I hated the Bible. It felt like a weapon, one that had been used to control women, silence questions, and justify injustice. I wanted nothing to do with it. Let's talk about Bible trauma.

I know some of you may not feel ready (or ever willing) to step foot in a church again. You might not want to read the Bible or join a Bible study. I get it. So here are a few resources to keep your faith soil fertile and healthy.

Whether it’s harmful theology, hypocrisy, or outright abuse, church hurt is real. And I get it—when a place that was supposed to offer healing ends up being the source of pain--the natural response is to walk away. But I want you to ask yourself: Are you walking away from Christ, or just from Christianity? Because the two are not always the same. Let's talk about it! laurafarhy.com
