*Content Warning* We begin to discuss Toxic Teachings on sex at the 38min mark

Cognitive Dissonance and cult like mentality often leads to deconstruction. Deconstruction can happen when someone begins to question the belief structure of the institution they are apart of.

When leaders like, Mark Driscoll, make statements of "get on the bus or get run over by the bus" that is a massive problem.

When healing teachings go awry and lead people astray. Money money money! - This can go two very different ways, you can have a church that teaches you that money is evil OR that you will get all of the things.

Welcome to Coffee Chats, grab a cup and join us as we talk about Ian's experience with a cult when he was a young kid. If you are not watching this one might I suggest that you do as our facial expressions and physical banter make the episode.

Want to put a little apology in here for any offensive comments unintentionally made.

Scott Patterson, it would literally be a dream to have a conversation with you….I think I may have to invest in some Luke’s mugs and coffee blends for our future chats on the channel!

What kind of randomness would you like to hear from us in the future?!

In this episode we are talking about our messy middle. This one was hard for us, maybe me (Lauren) the most. We touched on a lot of vulnerable parts of our journey through deconstruction. We discuss the different practices we explored as we questioned our faith; things like communing with nature, exploring "new age" practices and ascribing different names to God. Teasing apart things such as sin, relating to God and the deep wrestling if we truly believe the Bible where it says, "he who seeks shall find" (Matthew 7:8)

We would love to hear your thoughts.Is there any part of our journey that you are vehemently against?

Have you ever thought about the things we bring up?
