Changing Truth - An Ever Evolving Journey - 168

Jun 2, 2020

Our truth series is wrapped up this week with a deeply personal conversation on changing truth.  Everyone on this show, and the vast majority of our listeners, have experienced a truth change.  Many times we refer to that process as deconstruction.  A term that reflects a reality we all share, but that falls short of communicating the depth and heartache involved in the process of changing truth.

Bonnie starts the conversation with the question, “What was it like for you to wake up one morning and know you were not operating with the same set of beliefs?”  The answers get personal and lead to an unexpected reminder of the privilege inherent in questioning truth.  Race, gender and sexuality can be a huge catalyst for how traumatic a truth revision can be.

As the group continues to share it also becomes apparent that representation in our education into new truths is paramount.  It helps us see ourselves so that we can better see others.  We are not on this journey alone.

This episode closes with a round of Famous Christians for 100.  Each host has provided a quote from a ‘famous’ ‘christian’ and the others need to tap their vast knowledge of Christian culture to guess the source.
