  • Why you don’t need to “fill up your cup”

    karenholmes / May 6, 2021

    Has anyone ever told you to “fill up your cup”? Or that “you can’t pour from an empty cup?” As an attendee of multiple women’s retreats and bible studies over the last 30…

  • The Bible is not enough.

    karenholmes / March 21, 2021

    There, I said it. Just in case anyone was wondering just how far I’ve fallen from the evangelical-christian tree, this will prove my heresy: The Bible is not enough. Back in my super-christian…

  • Why are you here?

    karenholmes / March 19, 2021

    No, really! What has made you stop by my page? I’m genuinely curious because who I was when I first started this site is not who I am anymore. I’ve left my older…

  • Messy

    karenholmes / March 1, 2021

    In the online business world, a lot of the celebrity coaches will encourage you to show up “messy.” Just put something out there, even if it’s not perfect. It feels like this whole…

  • Advent for those deconstructing their faith – Day 15

    karenholmes / December 16, 2020

    Hope. That’s what this season is supposed to be all about, right? I struggle to feel it. I always thought that the hope was about life after death. That’s what my faith had…

    karenholmes / December 14, 2020

    Ok, so I take back what I said about the wilderness and kingdom of God and all that. It feels too simple, like I’m trying too hard to fit life back into a…

  • Advent for those deconstructing their faith – Day 13

    karenholmes / December 13, 2020

    Christmas is about the incarnation – God becoming flesh. But wasn’t God here all along and we just didn’t recognize Him? No wonder Jesus was always so exasperated with the Pharisees and the…

  • Advent for those deconstructing their faith – Day 12

    karenholmes / December 13, 2020

    I have to say that this new way of life here in the wilderness, where everything seems – to me – to be a bit of a free for all, is kind of…

  • Advent for those deconstructing their faith – Day 11

    karenholmes / December 9, 2020

    The wilderness has been my home for such a short while and, yet, I find myself desperate for something to cling to already. I find myself wondering, “does this mean I’m an atheist…

  • Advent for those deconstructing their faith – Day 10

    karenholmes / December 9, 2020

    Some people have described this weird in-between place of deconstruction as a “wilderness.” Now I can see why. When I think of a wilderness, of course, I imagine Moses and the Israelites wandering…

Welcome!

If you are looking for a non-judgmental place to discuss questions and issues of faith and personal growth, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! This blog has been a space to explore my own faith journey from evangelical Christianity to where I am today, dancing in the mystery and getting familiar with and comfortable in the unknown. I had a mystical experience in 2019 that kicked me into a faith deconstruction which I later realized was a type of “awakening” that changed the trajectory of my life. No matter where YOU are in your faith or life experience, I am delighted that you’re here and would love to hear your story. Send me an email at karen@inspiredtofaith.com.
