Description

In the Deconstruction Zone, Danny Lybarger, and Sadie Murbarger explore and navigate the gray areas that come with following Jesus, while also unlearning and rethinking what they were taught about him. Join in for lots of laughter and processing of big topics and our own stories. Whether you are currently deconstructing and want to feel like you’re not alone or want to understand where deconstructers are coming from, we hope this space will be one where we can all process and embrace the journey.
