Link's Deconstruction – 3 Years Later

I love the idea of being prepared to have no defense. Not everything in life needs to have a well-thought-out, intelligent, fully processed answer.

Link “I’m just gonna keep this simple” immediately followed by “I’m creating my own religion” 😂

Link feeling the happiest he’s ever felt in his life makes me happy 💗

Link for years not wanting a dog, to now having a tattoo of his favorite on his arm, and has another dog and a cat. What a world

I loved Rhett’s discussion but I feel more in line with Link. I felt like he was describing how I feel in which, I just want to live my life. They’re may be something out there a higher being or spiritually but I don’t need to know what it is or search for it I’m happy just living my life the best I can and spreading that to other people and loved ones.

If Rhett is the intellectual side of the brain, Link is the emotional side. And I think that’s why these two work in tandem so well.

What you two do IS sometimes dumb and silly BUT it's also genuine and palpable. Your relationship, your moral dispositions and your brand of weird is my favorite medicine.

I love how good you two are at listening to one another . While making the other person feel heard and giving that person enough space to finish their thoughts .

I resonate so much with what Link is saying. When you are in the evangelical environment they teach that God is the only source of good/success/progress/joy etc.. that without him, you can be nothing on your own. When you go through a deconstruction, you realize that is not true. You can find joy from within you and around you. You CAN be a good human because of your own desires for kindness, love, and peace.. THIS was a surprising revelation for me. We were taught if we ever left the church and evangelical faith practices, that our families and lives would completely fall apart, and we would lose everything. The opposite has been true for me. I have discovered myself, my husband, my children, my friendships in brand new lights that are free from shame, judgment, and fear. it’s truly been an enlightening, joy filled journey.

The look on Rhett's face when Link pulls out Jade and starts intensely sniffing and embracing her just had me dying 🤣🤣

Finally, they are starting to realize how much of an impact their show has on fans and people in general. Love this and Rhett's episode as well.

Shed a few happy tears when link closed this out by declaring he’s as happy as he’s ever been in his life. A beautiful thing to witness. May it continue! 😊 love seeing people that bring joy and kindness to others, sharing in happiness. No one more deserving.

I get this. So much. I see my animals as living lessons in unconditional love and forgiveness. They live in the moment. They are present. They have open hearts. They are kind. They are loyal. They are funny. They are in tune with our feelings. They have powerful messages to give.

This was the most relaxing and heartwarming 1 1/2 hours of Ear Biscuits I’ve ever experienced. Y’all brought me to tears multiple times. Link, I’ve been on the same spiritual journey this last year, myself. Being in the moment and accepting the opportunity to be present is so important. Rhett, I appreciate and love your inspiration to find truth. I don’t know anything, as far as I’m concerned, and whether I do find that truth or just am happy with my own existence and truth, that’s all that matters. Y’all are special people. Thank you for being you.

You mentioned hospital, I spend one day in hospital a week. I save your podcast and listen to it through treatment and I have for the last 3 yrs. You both have somehow always given me a laugh or hope or caused me to think deeply when I needed it. So thank you both very much. I think you do give good to the world, and that's no ordinary thing. <3

That is a sweet, sensitive and kind man that can articulate the love they have for the fur babies in his life. Dogs especially love unconditionally, which is something we all desire in life. 💗

Link talking about Jade the way he did .. made me cry. It resonated so deeply and I'm not sure why.

When Link started talking about Jade, I loved watching Rhett's face slowly morph from looking mildly amused and judgmental to deeply moved.

"I'm just going to be myself, and see where that goes." I loved that statement so much. There's so much we just can't know, but we do know that our bodies are made of the same stuff as the stars. We are essentially the universe itself, which has become self-aware after a very long evolution. There is nothing that we "should" do except observe the world around us, share our unique experience, and allow others to do the same. You're a good person because you encourage positivity and curiosity - essential qualities for this universe trying to figure itself out. It's been inspiring to hear about your journey, and we've loved hearing you share your stories of love and friendship. Thanks for being who you are ❤

I always resonate more with Rhett because we're the same analytical, overthinking, logical type. But I think my desired end point is something more like Link's. To just be, the give and receive love, and to be happy and prepared to have no defense. I've never heard it put that way, but I think that works. Just to know myself and what I want and belief, but to feel no need to justify, explain or convince anyone of what that is.
