0:00.0	Oh, church, when did we lose our way?
0:11.2	Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast.
0:13.6	I'm your host, John Williamson, and it's hard for me to believe that it is 2025 now.
0:18.5	It feels like not that long ago that Adam and I had started this podcast at the end of
0:23.8	2015. And so we are entering into our 10th year. At the end of this year, it'll be 10 years officially
0:31.1	that, that, you know, this podcast has been out in the universe. And so I still remember the
0:36.8	first day that we released
0:38.6	that first episode of What is Deconstruction and the basement of my old house. We've come a long way
0:44.3	since then, hopefully. Adam and I were just hanging out the other night and laughing about the fact
0:48.5	that we can't go back and listen to the early episodes without cringing. And yet, people

1:15.9	being here. So hopefully what we're doing here is still helpful and hopefully still enjoy the
1:20.6	content putting out there. And Adam says hello. So with that having been said, welcome you back for
1:26.9	part two of my interview with Dr.
1:29.8	Garrick V. Allen. And if you heard that, that is my new dog barking in the background. Yes, we rescued
1:35.2	a doggy and he's very sweet, but very mischievous. So sorry about that. Anyway, we'd like to
1:40.7	keep it live here. You know, if you want to stay up on top of everything that we're up to, www.d-deconstructionist.org is our website, and we have everything on there from our blog,
