What I Wish I Knew About Deconstruction

What I Wish I Knew About Deconstruction

Author: SecretMullet Productions November 10, 2023 Duration: 2:07:34
On this, second to last DRCK episode, I had the privilege of hanging out with my friend Janice (God Has Not Given! Bad Words! General Menace!) , and new friend Tim (The New Evangelicals!). We discuss the things we would go back and tell ourselves about our personal deconstruction journeys– the good, the bad, the dogmatic. We also discuss platform culture, how we feel about worship music, and play a game of Youth Group or Boy Band. Brought to you by BoyZone Learn more about your ad choices.

There’s a particular experience that comes with growing up deep inside a certain kind of church community, and then stepping out into a world that operates on a completely different frequency. Dirty Rotten Church Kids is a conversation about that disorienting, often hilarious, and deeply meaningful journey. From SecretMullet Productions, this podcast serves as a long-running dialogue between friends who’ve lived it, exploring how the frameworks of faith, doubt, and upbringing collide with everyday life, creative expression, and broader culture. You’ll hear candid discussions that aren’t afraid to sit in the tension-episodes can swing from dissecting a profound spiritual question to unpacking the weird nostalgia of evangelical subculture with a lot of laughter. It’s specifically crafted for anyone who knows the lingo, the unspoken rules, and the unique baggage, but is now navigating the vast and complicated landscape beyond that bubble. The tone is intentionally both heavy and light, because that’s what the process actually feels like. Tune in for a sense of camaraderie and some thoughtful, relatable reflection on making your own path.
