What Happens When You Stop Defending God | HG Roberts

Subscribe to HG:    / @h.g.roberts   What happens when you stop trying to protect God from the story? For many of us, deconstruction did not begin because we wanted to be rebellious, bitter, deceived, or “lost.” It began because the explanations stopped explaining. The defenses stopped defending. The more we looked at the theology honestly, the more we realized we were doing a lot of emotional, intellectual, and moral labor to make God look better than the text, the doctrine, and the lived consequences actually allowed. In this live conversation, I’m sitting down with HG Roberts to talk about his deconstruction story, religious trauma, apologetics, Christian nationalism, and what happens when people finally give themselves permission to stop defending the indefensible. We’ll begin with HG’s journey, then work through his top 10 videos on YouTube — from faith feeling like infatuation, to the problem of God’s evil, to religious trauma, Satan, Jesus, Christian nationalism, and the ways apologetics often fails the people most harmed by the theology. This is not just a conversation about leaving Christianity. It’s a conversation about what becomes possible when you stop protecting the system that wounded you and start telling the truth about what it did. Join us live, bring your questions, and let’s have the conversation. 👇 Start Your Journey: TAP IN: https://www.bridgecity.app/hello More Info: https://www.dldd.us 💸 Support This Work Patreon:   / darantelamar1   PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/darantelamar BC PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s...
