A significant part of both the book and podcast “Dungeons ‘n’ Durags” is author Ron Dawson’s journey deconstructing his Christian faith. The last third of the book dives into his online debates with Trump-supporting Christians, and how his faith led him to make decisions, he now regrets.
But there is perhaps no better exploration of his faith than the half-dozen episodes of the podcast where he specifically addresses the topic. Ron is able to have a diverse and impressive line-up of guests who share their own respective journeys down the complicated road of Christian Deconstruction and faith.
Below you can listen to the episodes. (Or find them in your favorite podcast player). And if you like what you hear, please share them with a friend going through a similar journey.
