Giving Up God - Sarah Henn Hayward
Manage episode 418165445 series 3378653
“We are meaning-making machines. Chaos is uncomfortable, and thinking that everything that happens to us is due to random chance feels cold and impersonal. The brain seeks out patterns and order when they are not necessarily present.” Sarah Henn Hayward
Our guest this week is Sarah Henn Hayward. Sarah is a mom of two, an author and our first self-proclaimed agnostic/atheist on the podcast. To say that our conversation was fascinating and enlightening would be an understatement.
On this episode, we explore these topics:
- Unpacking the realization that so much of our former faith was about control and distraction from the realities of life. We were looking for safety and consistency and a formula to explain all of life’s pain.
- Embracing the uncomfortable choas/mystery/the "I don't know"
- What happened when Sarah finally said the words "I don't believe in God" out loud
- Deconstructing faith when it leads to actual de-conversion or agnosticism/atheism
- Navigating parenting with a partner who is still believes in God.
Our favorite words from this podcast episode were things like "mystery" and "wonder" and "peace" and "what if." Find out why when you listen.
