Let’s be honest:

Most of us were taught what to believe… but not how to think. We were handed verses. Doctrines. Rules. Maybe even fear.

But no one really showed us how to wrestle, reflect, and process the big stuff of life…with God in the picture.

That’s called thinking theologically.

And most of us never learned how to do it.

In today’s behind-the-scenes video, I’m talking about why I believe this skill might be the single most important thing for reconstructing a durable, real-life faith.

I’ll share:

  • A simple framework that helps you evaluate beliefs without feeling like you’re walking away

  • The questions I ask when approaching theological ideas

  • And why theology isn’t just for academics…it’s for everyday people navigating pain, growth, and spiritual questions in real life

Whether you’re deconstructing, rebuilding, or just ready to go deeper than surface-level answers… this might be the video you didn’t know you needed.
