Outgrowing the Good Christian Girl
3.4: Re-imagining Church, ft Kate Boyd of "Remembered Table"
Today we're talking with Kate Boyd of An Untidy Faith & Remembered Table, exploring how we understand church and Christian community. Is going to a building on Sunday morning really required of Christians? What was church meant to be? If we could envision a more holistic approach, what would that look like?
I LOVED this interview and can't wait to share it with you. Welcome back to "Outgrowing the Good Christian Girl"!

HERE ARE TODAY'S QUESTIONS:
Q1: What does deconstruction mean to you? (@4:20)
Q2: For me deconstruction has had a lot to do with how I understand Scripture and its intent. How do you understand biblical intent and how has that evolved on your journey? (@6:32)
Q3: So let's dive into your story. What were your life and faith like growing up? (@13:28)
Q4: When did you start noticing a shift in your faith? What started this journey for you, and what was that like? (@15:33)
Q5: Would you tell us about your relationship with church during and after deconstruction? (@20:03)
Q6: What do you see as the biblical understanding of church and why? And if you have a lot of anger toward church but don't want to stop joining in community, what do you do? (@23:41)
Q7: Is there anything you'd like to share with people who might be struggling in their relationship with church right now? (@31:05)
Q8: Would you tell us all about Remembered Table? What's your vision for it, how can people get involved, etc? (@36:04)
Q9: How can people join Remembered Table? (@44:04)
Q10: What's the story or meaning behind the name "Remembered Table"? (@44:53)
Q11: What are some things you'd love to see integrated into our own church communities here in the United States? (@47:20)
Q12: As we wrap up this interview, I have two final questions. First, let’s go to a bird’s eye view again. Part of deconstruction is asking: What parts of my faith do I bring forward with me, and what parts do I leave behind? So I’m asking all my guests: Do you have any examples of this in your own life that you’d feel comfortable sharing? (@49:54)
Q13: Lastly, you have a ton of resources for people who are trying to navigate faith, deconstruction, and church. Can you tell us about these? Where else can my listeners find you? (@54:17)
