Kathy Escobar has offered to do a special session of Walking Wounded for those who have left Mars Hill. It is a 4-week online workshop designed to help you move through the painful and confusing aftermath of a negative faith-based experience. Please comment or email Sophia if interested. I am looking to find out how much interest there is and then we will put it together.
Here are the links to the first 6 of 7 posts in the series (there is one more coming):
Rebuilding after Deconstructing
Rebuilding after Deconstruction: 1 Honoring the Process
Rebuilding after Deconstruction: 2 Acknowledging Losses
Rebuilding after Deconstruction: 3 Discovering What Remains
Rebuilding after Deconstruction: 4 Finding What Works
Rebuilding after Deconstruction: 5 Celebrating What Was
Below is Kathy's Stages of the Journey chart. These posts and definitely Walking Wounded would be a great idea if you have hit "THE WALL".
Stages of Faith
Reading through the book "Chrysalis - the Hidden Journey in the Transformation of Faith" by Alan Jamieson while contemplating God's purpose in suffering brought me through my dark tunnel. Alan Jamieson also discusses faith stages that are very similar to what Kathy has included above. Makes me think of this, "These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."

Thank you for sharing. It may help me to process the struggle of "am I becoming a 'liberal' christian?"
