Christy works to define faith deconstruction for her audience. Often people have specific expectations about deconstruction. Some think that deconstructing your faith automatically means you deconvert from Christianity. Other people think that if you deconstruct, you will automatically arrive at a progressive, unitarian theology.

Christy reminds her listeners that in any other context, deconstruction simply means to take something apart to its individual pieces. It never says what you do with the pieces once you take them apart. Christy believes it is possible to put our faith back together centered around the real Jesus if we want to. She believes we can rebuild a historically orthodox faith without the extra tradition and religion we've collected along the way.

Rethinking Faith
Religious Rebels
Christy Lynne Wood spent a decade in Bill Gothard's Institute in Basic Life Principles (as seen on Amazon Prime's "Shiny Happy People" documentary series). Homeschooled in this Christian cult, Christy was a good girl following the rules until Jesus unexpectedly showed up and changed everything.
As Christy got to know Jesus for herself, she began to recognize that the God she knew and the god her cult talked about couldn't be the same God. Once the good girl following the rules, Christy felt a strange rebellion creeping into her heart. But it wasn't rock music, college, or blue jeans that was turning her into a rebel (like she'd been warned), it was Jesus.
Twenty years later, Christy is still passionate about discovering truth, destroying lies, exposing religious Christianity, and helping others find a thriving relationship with the Real Jesus.
