Jeff: Deconstruction of a Southern Baptist Minister

Jeff grew up in his words "a very religious household." He attended a large Southern Baptist church.

In college he fell in love with the seriousness of Calvinism after reading John Piper's Desiring God. He left seminary early to become a minster because he felt time pressure to be "on mission" for God.

After three pastors he knew committed suicide in one year, Jeff began to deconstruct.

Today he is agnostic and finds therapy and mindfulness helpful in his life.
