Hi! I’m Jenn.
I grew up going to church. But several years ago, I reached a breaking point in my faith journey.
Exhausted by people-pleasing and perfectionism, trying to earn grace, shame and striving (while trying to keep it all together with a happy face), I finally couldn’t do it anymore.
More recently, I felt disillusioned by practices of leaders at the very top that conflicted with the way of Jesus that I knew from the very scriptures I’d been taught.
This led to a complete overhaul of my theology and way of life. It felt scary to leave the borders of the conformity culture of church and to ask questions without fear. It involved work to untangle the unhealthy beliefs I’d taken on, grief for the grace-filled and Spirit-led life I feel like I often missed in my striving, guilt for opening up to a changing faith from black-and-white beliefs, and also gratitude for good that came out of my spiritual journey.
Is it possible to deconstruct without despair? How do we let go of toxic thinking and patterns while keeping hold of our faith and relationship with God? How do we participate in spiritual formation in a sustainable way, without shame or striving, people-pleasing or perfectionism?
