Summary

I interviewed the father of deconstructing (my title not his) Dr. David Gushee and let me tell you friends, it did not disappoint. David is well known in academic circles for writing several textbooks that are still widely used in colleges today including the book Kingdom Ethics. However, over time, David found himself more at odds with the fundamentalist take over the evangelicalism and when he wrote his LGBTQ affirming book, changing our minds, he was promptly kicked out. Since then David has spent his time writing After Evangelicalism and giving the deconstruction community better language for what they’ve experienced.  David’s Website - https://davidpgushee.com Get David’s Latest Book // After Evangelicalism Follow Tim on Instagram // @thenewevangelicals Check Out the New Merch The New Evangelicals is completely crowd funded.
