Between Structure and Collapse | TLC & Developmental Theory

What happens when developmental theory runs into confession, collapse, and the living God? Rigel Thurston ‪@rigelwindsongthurston‬ joins me for a deep conversation at the edge of Integral Theory, metamodernism, and Christianity—where stage models meet moral reality, and growth no longer looks like optimization but repentance, humility, and return. We explore: • Why developmental frameworks break down during personal collapse • The limits of meta-awareness without transformation • Christianity as a symbolic architecture that absorbs complexity rather than denying it • How the digital age is forcing new honesty about meaning, sin, and becoming human • Why growth often looks less like ascent and more like pruning This episode sits inside my ongoing exploration of Meta-Christianity—not as an ideology, but as a lived encounter with truth that includes structure and surrender. If you’ve followed conversations around Peterson, Vervaeke, Pageau, Brendan Graham Dempsey, Cadell Last, or the liminal web—and sensed both insight and insufficiency—this dialogue helps name what’s missing. Growth is real. Collapse is real.
