Honoring the Journey – Details, episodes & analysis

Andrea, who uses the pen name Cheydrea (shy-drae-uh), had a childhood filled with instability, neglect and fear. Through the years, she has fully deconstructed her evangelical beliefs and has found tremendous healing in her writing and art. Her poetry reveals her pain in raw and vivid detail. Through courageous and vulnerable self-expression, she has learned to honor her emotions, re-parent herself, and liberate her authentic voice. Her story is one of tremendous resilience and her desire to help others heal is inspiring!

Find out more about Cheydrea and get ahold of her book by visiting her website: www.cheydrea.com.

Today we honor the journey of Jon Turney, Co-Host of This is Not Church Podcast and author of the new book RJ the Astronaut! His journey is one of deconstruction that led to reconstruction and re-entry into church and ministry and then deconstructing it all again. Such a relatable and powerful journey! We also talk about why he wrote the book RJ the Astronaut and how the book has helped him sort through a lot of what he's learned on his life and faith journey. Join us on the "Turney Journey" (sorry, I couldn't help myself!) haha

Today, we honor the journey of Benjamin Cremer (Ben), a Wesleyan Pastor, Theologian, and Writer who makes a few waves on social media with his posts that admonish the church to lean into the way of Jesus with compassion, kindness, and love while also leaning away from political power, control and judgment. It's a message that goes against the flow in today's church, but it's a message that is desperately needed. It's not every day a guest brings me to tears, but Ben managed to do it in this episode!

To listen to and subscribe to his NEW Podcast "Into the Gray", click here!

Today we honor the journey of Tim and Sarah Whitaker! Tim started The New Evangelicals back in 2020 and Sarah is his wife, who has been a real encouragement to him along the way (and sometimes she makes appearances on TNE videos). I wanted to hear their journey together as a couple going through deconstruction. Their story is one that I think we can all learn from, as they weren't always on the same page theologically; however, their marriage not only survived, but thrived! If you are someone who may not be on the same page as your spouse when it comes to theology, this is a must listen!

Michael Camp was an Evangelical Missionary in Africa for seven years and fully immersed and devoted to his beliefs. After a crisis of faith and some serious doubts, he began deconstructing about 20 years ago. Today, Michael has written books, hosts and produces a podcast called Spiritual Brewpub and helps others through deconstruction with his Coaching business. One of Michael's biggest passions is helping people understand that Jesus' message was not a retributive one, but a loving and kind, yet firm message of acceptance and love. His passion is to help others develop a healthy, deep spirituality without violence and fear that is so prevalent in so many Evangelical spaces.

You can find his book, Breaking Bad Faith, on Amazon.
