It’s been at least ten years since I really started the full-on deconstruction of my faith. The process wasn’t always easy but I can say I feel better and more confident about how I see the world that ever before.

I wanted to give you a list of some of the resources that either helped me or are sitting on my shelf in the queue to read very soon. This is an ongoing and open-sourced list so if you’re interested in helping contribute to it, you can find the original Google Doc, right here.
