There's nothing like saying you're deconstructing to get people to call you all kinds of things -- heretic, apostate, false teacher. But I find these are easy "insults" with few who use them actually applying them correctly.
So join me in this episode for ...
- clear definitions of orthodoxy, heterodoxy, heresy, apostasy, and blasphemy
- how these terms are often misused and misunderstood in faith communities
- gentle guidance on how to navigate accusations of heresy and apostasy
- the importance of understanding the broader Christian tradition.
