Alan Fadling and Gem FadlingDeconstruction vs. Disorientation - What's the Difference? (345)
June 2, 2025 ● 55 minShare this episode
Life doesn’t always go according to plan. The map you were following suddenly doesn’t make sense. What once felt solid begins to crack. But what if this unraveling isn’t a detour... what if it’s part of the sacred path?
In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem and Alan Fadling explore a powerful biblical framework for spiritual transformation—orientation, disorientation, and new orientation—a pattern identified by Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann and lived out in the Psalms, in Christian history, and in our lives today.
Whether you're deconstructing your faith, walking through midlife questions, or just feeling lost in a long winter of the soul, this conversation will meet you there—with honesty, hope, and a deeper invitation into God’s presence.
🎧 We talk about:
-
What the Psalms teach us about disorientation
-
How deconstruction and spiritual formation overlap (but aren’t the same)
-
Why lament and complaint are actually forms of faithful prayer
-
How to move forward when nothing makes sense
No matter where you find yourself—building, unraveling, or starting fresh—this one’s for you.
