  I was born in 01 and some of the ZoeGirl songs are so nostalgic. I don&apos;t even know exactly where I was hearing them, but they definitely bring back some feels. Also I know who Carman is ;)

  Two comments: 1) I started a Ph. D. program in history at the University of Iowa in 1990, during the heart of the “linguistic turn” &nbsp;in historical theory and method which was heavily influenced by French deconstruction. Foucault and, more especially, Derrida. Deconstruction was something you did to texts because of the inadequacies of human language. No one ever talked about deconstructing people. I think most of my secular colleagues there would have found it strange at the time. 2) Isolating from family and friends is part of common sociological (as opposed to theological) definitions of a cult. Is “Christian deconstruction” an online cult?

  If you know someone who is deconstructing who happens to also be going to a watered down seeker-sensitive man-centered mega church, could the advice for them be a simple as &quot;go find a true God-centered church, one that actually has answers to your theological questions and focuses on discipleship.&quot;?<br>This podcast was great in defining deconstruction and the dynamics of those engaging in it, however, I wish the podcast talked more about the root problem at play which I believe is the seeker-sensitive church movement. The man-centered worshiptainment seeker-sensitive churches often have terrible theology and at the very least overlook discipleship and leave starving sheep vulnerable to the wolves. I think &quot;deconstruction&quot; is a symptom of this root problem.

  Excellent conversation! So deep, so much detail &amp; insight. Thank you both for making this a long one. 😊 Loved the questions at the end, however, LOTR &gt; Hobbit 😅

  I thought Origen, not Augustine, was the big allegory guy.

  Perhaps because of my age, I associate the term “deconstruction” with the philosopher Derrida. But what Alisa says about deconstruction seems quite different from what Derrida said about it.
