Learning to Float

Deconstructing Doctrinal Certainty to Embrace the Mystery of Faith

By: J. Matthew Distefano, Michelle Collins

Narrated by: Heidi Crane

Learning to Float is a life preserver when you find yourself adrift in the midst of your faith journey. When waves of doubt and anxiety threaten to rise above your head, or when you simply find yourself weary of swimming in the midst of unending waters, this book is your buoy. It's the gentle arms of friends holding you up so that you can breathe, even as currents of questions continue to sweep you up and move you along. It's the comforting whisper in your ear when you need it the most: "It's okay; I've got you. You're not alone."

Matthew J. Distefano knows his theology and philosophy, but far more importantly, he is 100-percent authentic. And as he mediates his story through conversation with Michelle Collins—whose wisdom, compassion, and friendship guide him as he articulates his deconstruction process—listeners are bound to see parallels to their own journeys and struggles.

a great podcast

it was great. So good in fact I wish it was longer than 4 hours. it seems short and sweet to me. which is fine. I just wish there was more detail. and a few more scriptures sprinkled in for the folks who are heavy into bible study and deconstructing. It also threw me off that Matt wasn't reading and the narrator was reading for a conversation between two people. overall good

Helpful book

The book is a conversation between the 2 authors, who have questioned the things they have been taught in evangelical churches. It is an easy listen and it made me feel less alone. I wish they had chosen 2 narrators rather than one but the narrator did an excellent job.
