Deconstructing the Midterms | Ep. 45

Instead of the same intro week after week, if you're new, start here!

Maybe you're new here, maybe you've been around since the beginning. Either way, times are changing. In this episode, we're summing up what our deconstruction and podcast have meant and where we are now. Most importantly, we talk about where we're going and what that means for you. Can't wait to hear your thoughts. Links: Amber Humphries @amberhumphries Prone to Wonder @pronetowonderco Becka Robinson @beckarobinson What Now Radio @whatnowradio

Happy 50th Episode!!!!! And happy 10,000 downloads! We are so so so honored you're wondering along with us. Thank you so much for supporting our conversations with your engagement! To honor this milestone we decided to do a follow up to Becka's story and share Amber's story of deconstructing and reconstructing. Amber has been actively deconstructing since the start of this podcast but because she and her husband were employed by a ministry she kept her story private until now. We hope you enjoy getting to hear more from her on this!

While we're finishing up some technical changes and shifts, we're jumping back in with some backlogged conversations. In this episode, we talk through how religion and capitalism have impacted our need to feel like we've accomplished enough. Amber specifically brings up some issues with growing up focusing on having a large impact in ministry, and now figuring out what success means with that new void. If you've wondered "what's next" or "what do I do with my life now", this is a great conversation for you.

We're back with another conversation about sensuality, sexuality, and all the ways growing up in early 2000's purity culture affected our development of both of those things. In this episode, we go over some of the reactions and questions Amber got when she did an anonymous Q&A on her instagram and her story of coming out, identifying as queer while in a heteronormative monogamous relationship, and her perspective on unraveling sexuality and orientation as a woman in your 30's. Join in and wonder with us. 

Happy New Year Wonderers! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and we are so excited to be back for another season of Prone To Wonder. Join us today as we sit down together for our first recording of the year and Amber shares about a midlife existential crisis she's currently in and we jump all over from topic to topic related to how sometimes in a deconstruction journey it spirals way beyond just deconstructing our religious beliefs. If you've ever felt like you were deconstructing everything, this episode is for you!

If the midterm elections left you feeling chaotic and frustrated, you're not alone. Politics are tricky to navigate in general but if you've switched sides or are in a deconstruction or faith transition that is leaving you with differing perspectives than your family, friends, or previous community it can feel extra tricky and frustrating. Listen in as Amber shares her perspective being a deconstructed evangelical living in the south in Georgia. 

*18+ convo* For those of us who grew up in the early 2000's height of purity culture and are now raising kids of our own, navigating the conversations around sex, safety, expectations, and respect with our kids can feel especially tricky. Most of us don't have a positive roadmap of how to have these conversations and it can be a battle against fear when we are trying to figure out what to say and how to approach things. As parents of preteens who are growing up in the age of tiktok, Amber and Becka are navigating this in real time and in today's conversation share how they are approaching it and what they think is the number 1 most important thing to remember in these conversations no matter where you fall in your beliefs. Listen in and let us know your thoughts!
