Deconstruction isn’t just about tearing down—it’s about rebuilding in a way that feels true. In this episode, we continue our conversation with Renea and Rhanda as they share what life and faith look like on the other side of deconstruction.

How do you navigate relationships with those who don’t understand your journey? What new practices or beliefs bring life and meaning? Renea and Rhanda open up about the struggles, surprises, and hope they’ve found along the way.

If you’ve ever wondered what comes next after questioning everything, this episode is for you.

Listen now, and let’s keep untangling faith together.

Deconstruction is rarely a straight path—it’s personal, messy, and often filled with unexpected turns. In this episode, we sit down with two friends, Renea and Rhanda, as they share their unique journeys of questioning, unlearning, and rediscovering faith.

From early doubts to major turning points, they open up about what led them to rethink long-held beliefs, the challenges they faced along the way, and what faith looks like for them now. Their stories are honest, raw, and full of wisdom for anyone who’s ever wondered, What happens when faith no longer fits?

Join us for Part 1 of this heartfelt conversation, and stay tuned for Part 2 next week!

🌟 Season 2, Episode 6: Abortion, Part 2 🌟

In Part 2 of our discussion on abortion, Pastor Laura and Pastor Tammy take a closer look at Scripture and then explain how faith and politics have become so deeply intertwined on this issue. We’re unpacking:

📖 What does the Bible actually say about abortion? The verses used on both sides of the debate
⚖️ How did abortion become a defining issue for many Christians? A look at the role of politics and church history
💭 Can we hold space for complexity? Wrestling with faith, ethics, and real-life experiences

No easy answers—just real conversation about a topic that deserves more nuance, empathy, and understanding.

We invite you to join us in asking:
How has faith shaped your views on abortion? What happens when politics and theology become entangled?

🌟 Season 2, Episode 5: Abortion, Part 1 🌟

Abortion is one of the most complex and emotionally charged topics in faith, politics, and personal decision-making. In Part 1 of this conversation, Pastor Laura and Pastor Tammy dive into:

🔍 When does life begin? Perspectives from conception to first breath
🤔 Why do people seek abortions? And does the reason matter?
✨ How personal experience, faith, and ethics shape our views

This is not a debate—it’s a space for curiosity, honesty, and untangling what we’ve been taught from what we truly believe.

We invite you to listen with an open heart and ask:
What influences your perspective on abortion? Is it possible to hold both conviction and compassion?

Welcome to another episode of Untangling Faith with Rev. Tammy H. Jackson and Rev. Laura Hutchinson—where faith meets critical thinking. Together, they create a space to ask questions, wrestle with Scripture, and explore alternative perspectives on life and faith. Though serving in two different denominations (and sometimes having very different takes on issues), their conversations are rooted in a shared love for the Gospel, a commitment to justice, and a desire to help others untangle the traditions they've inherited from the truths of Scripture.

In this episode, you'll experience the second part of a conversation about the sermon that Bishop Mariann Budde delivered at the National Prayer Gathering last week (January 2025). The Bishop's plea for mercy has sparked both praise and outrage. Together, Laura and Tammy unpack the controversy surrounding her message, process its implications for faith leaders, and reflect on what it means to embody mercy and justice in today’s divided world.

[Don't forget! You can also watch the episode on YouTube!]
