Introducing a new mini-series on the Mestizo Podcast called “Navigating Symbolic Devastation.”

Many of you submitted questions asking for episodes that deal with deconstruction, church trauma, and the grief and dissonance we feel about Christianity.

What happens when the symbols of Christianity become deeply associated with racism, patriarchy, and violence? How do we recover the meaning of Christian symbols, when they’ve been coopted for years, even centuries?

We invited Colton Bernasol, essay contributor, theologian, and friend of World Outspoken to help us answer these questions. Over the next weeks, we’ll journey with him as he helps us navigate symbolic devastation.
