@drtoddphillips: Former megachurch pastor reflecting on certainty, doubt, and what it meant to follow the questions wherever they led. An honest introduction to my journey out of certainty and into a more thoughtful way of living with uncertainty.#Deconstruction #faithjourney #leavingchristianity #agnostic #spirituality

Jerome :

With deconstruction comes reconstruction

ItsOkayToBeCatholic :

Hey Todd – I remember you from when I was a Protestant pastor. Went through a similar deconstruction but I kept reading and studying and praying – it led me to the Catholic Church. If you ever wanna chat, our stories are probably very similar

Flynn :

I am more “Christian” now, after I deconstructed. The values I have I own without promise or threat. Liberating.

opentuesday :

“Seeking truth” eventually leads you away from all religion

jrjimenezontiktok :

Im more Christian as an atheist

never heard of you

user2058548367125 :

Would you be willing to share how your decision to deconstruct impacted your marriage and children ?

@vexxmoney :

adversity has turned my faith on its head

roastghost :

You wouldn’t know me but you were the teaching pastor at the church I was on staff at. I too am on this journey. It started in 2016ish. It led me to leave in 2018. It’s wild but I’m tracking with you. Thanks for being bold. It’s a sensitive topic for some families.

dagneyhightower :

Same journey my friend. Same.

AfterthePulpit :

I did the same thing after 27 years in ministry to churches. I just couldn’t stay anymore. So here I am and following a different path

scottconnor68 :

Ever since I left the faith, I have become more compassionate, more accepting, happier and more appreciative of this life I have. We really don’t know what’s after this.

Frenchmanonthelake :

Our life should be spent helping others and that will bring you true happiness and peace.👍

✨Lee✨ :

I can relate. For me, deconstruction meant separating Jesus from denomination (former Catholic) and tradition. I walked away from legalism, not the Gospel and my faith is stronger, quieter, and more rooted than ever. God bless you pastor and your new found journey 🙏🏽

Cleare :

My relationship with God got better after leaving the church

KC :

Oh Todd…I feel I was brainwashed as a child in the church …I know am questioning everything I was taught

Musical Papa :

As a former worship leader, I’m there too.

Cleatis Dog :

Interesting thought... how many people trusted your message wholeheartedly because of your passion, which is probably human nature. The greater lesson though is that just because someone is passionate shouldn't be an indicator to trust them. It might be their truth for that time, but doesn't mean it's the ultimate truth.

jeffgraham2566 :

these videos help me alot ty for doing them.

chriskloveslife :

This is me

Sirquince :

Love the videos, left my faith 10 years much like you described. Keep up the great content!

Life of Kai 🇨🇦 :

I’d love to hear more about how deconstruction affected your closest relationships and your career journey.
