Ep. 43 - Faith Deconstruction with Liz Charlotte Grant, Author of Knock at the Sky

Liz Charlotte Grant is an award winning non-fiction storyteller having been featured in The Huffington Post, the Revealer, Sojourners, Christianity Today, and the National Catholic Reporter, among many others. She grew up in a deeply conservative branch of white American evangelicalism. After going through a deconstruction of faith, she now finds herself writing in progressive, mainline, global, and liberatory theological Christian spaces.

Liz just released her debut book Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the Bible.  Throughout the book, Liz recalls her journey of faith deconstruction and invites readers to read the Bible in new ways. Once one has deconstructed a literal interpretation (as so many Christians hold), can we still study scripture? Are we able to question sacred beliefs without fearing unbelief? The answer is a resounding yes - Liz invites her readers to absolutely question the texts of the Bible while still celebrating and cherishing their faith.

Liz is a prolific writer! After listening to this episode, you should ABSOLUTELY check out her work on her website: https://lizcharlotte.com and her (amazing) Substack: https://www.thempathylist.com.
