What comes after the unraveling?
In Part 2 of my conversation with life and faith transitions coach Leslie Nease, we move past the internal shifts and start talking about what happens when your beliefs have changed, your identity feels different and now you have to go out into the world and be a person again.
This one’s about the messy middle:
• Trying to make friends post-deconstruction (without small groups or Christian lingo)
• Feeling unrecognizable to old communities and unsure in new ones
• Building connection when you don’t fit cleanly anywhere
• Living in the in-between without a roadmap or label
We also talk about what it means to keep becoming when the idea of “arriving” just doesn’t hold up anymore.
Leslie offers grounded wisdom from her own journey and I share what it felt like to go from worship pastor to spiritually unbranded dad, mowing the lawn and questioning everything.
This part of the conversation is for anyone who’s still trying to figure out where they belong after shedding a version of themselves that once felt like home.
