The one-liner

A private, screened community for people questioning or rebuilding after Christianity.

What they actually sell

Decon/Recon Community is run by Todd Phillips. The headline pitch reads: "A private, carefully moderated community where you can question honestly, find community, and rebuild your life with clarity, confidence, and freedom." The public offer sits at $29 a month. A free trial sits on the join path. Copy also points to an annual option around $299 a year. Privacy is the main sell: nothing is public, members choose their name and every member is screened, with no debating or evangelising. Inside sit 6 courses. The page does not spell out a money-back promise.

Who pays and why

People leaving, questioning or rebuilding their faith. The pain is having nowhere to say what they think without being corrected. They pay for a moderated private space, screened members and guidance from a former megachurch pastor.

Where the members come from

The page links Todd Phillips's YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, so the community reads as the paid back end of an audience that already exists. Content does the attracting and the group does the keeping. Todd Phillips's profile line reads: "Former pastor creating a safe place to question honestly, heal deeply, and rebuild freely. Grateful we don’t have to do this alone."

What's holding it back

Privacy is the product, so growth has to come from trust. That makes loud marketing hard.

Steal this

Answer the scary question up front, such as is it private, in plain language.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any sensitive transition, such as divorce. Weak where people are happy to talk publicly.

Brad Rhodes

From Skool
“I have been a part of a few other deconstruction groups and one thing I appreciate about this one is that there is no one telling you what you should or should not believe after deconstruction. Regardless of what stage you are of deconstructing your faith, there is something for you in the group.”

James Geider

From Skool
“I feel comfortable talking to where I am in my deconstruction and it’s a great feeling to know that I’m not alone.”

Alexia Victoria

From Skool
“This community has helped me immensely to navigate life after deconstruction from religion. It’s a great space to open up, to be validated, and to find community.”

Cheryl Smith

From Skool
“Very welcoming and safe space. Genuine engagement. Really enjoying it here.”

Tony Winton

From Skool
“This is a welcoming thoughtful place for this in every phase of questioning and deconstructing. Folks understand the damage and hurt from prior religious experiences, but also can be steady friends as you climb out of what can seem a whole. Can’t say enough about Todd and his commitment to keeping the values of the group intact”
