I’d love to work together!

Are you a Christian?

Yep! My boundaries are the Nicean and Apostle Creed, which I believe 80% of at any given time. There are still bits of my faith that I’m working out with fear and trembling, and I’ve accepted that doubt and faith will likely always be intermingled for me. I also value the local church.

Is this therapy?

Nope! Any services or programs offered through Hey Amanda! are within a mentoring, coaching, or consulting capacity. While you may learn skills and information that can reduce distress, these programs are not intended to treat, identify, or diagnose any medical or psychological disease, condition, or complaint.

Should I be seeking therapy?

Maybe! Therapy can be a great way to process the hurt, grief, and stress of changing faith. Therapy was an instrumental part of my Big deconstruction and being able to hold my faith in a different way, so I could keep it.

What are your beliefs on inclusion?

Wonder & Doubt is open and inclusive to all who are sincerely working out their faith. Many on the journey of deconstruction are wrestling through what they were taught (indirectly or directly) about the LGBTQ community, women in ministry, white supremacy, and Christian nationalism. While we can acknowledge that we may be at different places in our exploration of these teachings, a value of this program is that we will honor and acknowledge the inherent dignity and worth of all people as Image Bearers of God. Implicit bias is to be expected, and we will work through those together when they come up, but explicit bias or prejudices will not be tolerated. Individuals who fail to show love and care to those in the cohort will be removed from the program. 

Do I have to be a Christian to work with you?

Not necessarily, but most of my teachings will be through a Christian lens, although they may be able to apply to other faith structures. If you have any questions about this, please reach out through the form above.
