Can you talk a little bit about what was your kind of breaking point moment and then how having already deconstructed your faith, how that felt different for you?
32:45
Yeah, so I think my deconstruction was more of a slow burn, I think, than anything else.
32:51
It started with Trying to remember something I had mentioned, I guess, earlier was just thinking about the idea that I did everything right, but it really wasn't enough.

So being in worship, being at my home church and going, I just don't really feel like this is giving me anything.
33:08
I yearn for the days that like at Christmas or Easter when we do the liturgy and it's musical and it's like repeated.
33:16
And I loved that.
33:17
And then we just didn't do it.
