The Great Deconstruction Podcast

The Great Deconstruction Podcast

The Great Deconstruction is a podcast brought to you by Rev. Matt Oxley. Topics include religious and epistemological deconstruction, critical thinking, and a re-examination of The Gospel. Matt is a former Christian, still seeking to understand and follow the ways of Y'shua - which he believes to be a great departure from the modern Western Church as we know it. He has worked with hundreds of people through their own deconstruction over the last 15 years and continues to dedicate his time and knowledge to helping those who find themselves in The Wilderness of Deconstruction find a way to civilization. Join us, as we embark on The Great Deconstruction journey. thegreatdeconstruction.substack.com
