Author: Laura Farhy April 12, 2026 Duration: 10:30
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.    #progressivechristianity #deconstructingchristianity #christianpodcast #christianfaith #christianfaith #christianityexplained #deconstructingfaith #deconstructedchristian #exvangelical #leavingchurch#reconstructingfaith #christianityexplored #faithcrisis #faithhabits #faithquestions #christianyoutube #christianyoutuber 

In a landscape where many feel spiritually uprooted, Spiritually Homesteading | How to Lose Your Religion & Keep Your Jesus offers a different path. Hosted by Laura Farhy, this podcast moves beyond the familiar terrain of deconstruction to focus on the practical, often messy work of rebuilding a personal faith. It’s built on the metaphor of homesteading-the idea that a deep, sustainable spiritual life requires getting your hands dirty, planting seeds of curiosity, and tending to your own beliefs with intention. This space is specifically for those who feel disillusioned or wounded by institutional religion yet still feel a pull toward the essence of Jesus. Each episode is a conversation for the spiritually curious and hopeful, exploring how to separate cultural dogma from core spiritual truth. When you listen to this podcast, you’ll find honest discussions about navigating doubt, reclaiming personal agency in faith, and discovering what it means to cultivate a belief system that is genuinely your own. It’s about empowerment and ownership, creating a spiritual home from the ground up.
