Derek Webb: The Jesus Hypothesis

Published: Jan. 3, 2022, midnight

b'This week\\u2019s guest is Derek Webb, musician, song writer and public deconstructor. For 10 years, Derek was a member of the Christian rock band, Caedmon\\u2019s Call. He then went on to a solo career where he focused on self reflection in his art. During that time, Derek began to desconstruct. He did so publicly in his music and on social media. For Derek\\u2019s Fingers Crossed album, \\u201cthe tale of two divorces,\\u201d Derek made himself available to his audience for criticism. He and his team turned this into the podcast, The Airing of Grief. What could have been a public expression of anger and hostility at Derek\\u2019s change of heart, wound up being people describing their own deconstruction. It was a poignant reminder that we are not alone in this process. Derek\\u2019s next album, Targets, is a joyous and rebellious rock celebration of deconstruction. Derek\\u2019s current project, The Jesus Hypothesis, takes a second look at his former theological beliefs. For this project, Derek has made himself even more available to his audience by live streaming the writing and recording process for his Patreon supporters. Derek is the perfect guest for the podcast as his art, music and personal style exemplify an both honesty contest and Secular Grace. Links Derek\\u2019s Website
