    Meet Alaine Part 2 --

    Alaine is back! In this episode she shares the pain, isolation and wonder associated with deconstruction.
    It takes considerable courage to confront cognitive bias head on. Many of us, hoodwinked since childhood,  become driven to discover the truth. We're so over the BS!  We sprint forward – often times ignorant to the enormity of the fallout for doing so.
    Alaine carried on. She kept asking the questions and fought hard to find honest answers.  
    Still working through the aftereffects of her deconstruction. Alaine moved to the D.C. suburbs, leaving her family behind.  She’s starting over.
    A new career. A new city. A new Alaine.

    Meet Alaine Part 1 —

    Alaine is a Gen-X former evangelical raised in the Deep South who found out the hard way that the unconditional love of Jesus had more than a few conditions.
     
    When her world began to crumble following a difficult divorce, her strict, conservative family and Southern Baptist community were not there for her the way she expected. Their shunning pushed her to question all the beliefs she’d clung to her whole life. 
     
    A support group for women of faith showed her how many verses in the Bible had been mistranslated and misappropriated through the years to support patriarchal theologies detrimental to women—and if this was possible, what ELSE in the Bible might not be the literal “Word of God”? 
     
    Alaine’s intense journey of deconstruction has led her down new roads away from almost everything and everyone in her former world. Today, identifying as an atheist/humanist, she is rebuilding her life and career as a paralegal in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

Alaine E ,

Puts Women in the Deconversion Discourse

I love hearing the personal deconstruction and deconversion stories from other women on their journeys out of religion and high-demand religious groups. Much-needed and encouraging to the core. Hoping she’s delivering more soon after summer break!
