About Me

John Williamson is a dad, life-long learner, history nerd, and professional talker with a passion for asking big questions and telling meaningful stories. He’s the creator and host of three distinct and thought-provoking podcasts:


🎙️ The Deconstructionists – a long-running series exploring faith, doubt, and the search for spiritual authenticity with some of today’s most influential thinkers.

🎙️ From The Void – a journey into the strange, the mysterious, and the unexplained, featuring topics like UFOs, Bigfoot, unsolved mysteries, and the fringes of science.

🎙️ Spoiled Fruit: Faith & Power – a limited investigative series unpacking the rise and fallout of spiritual movements that began with good intentions but were corrupted by power, control, and institutional failure.


Whether he’s unpacking theology, chasing cryptids, or digging into the dynamics of religious systems, John brings curiosity, empathy, and a sharp sense of storytelling to everything he does.


When he’s not behind the mic, you’ll find him deep in a history book, having thoughtful conversations, or hanging out with his family—doing his favorite job of all: being a dad.

As a victim of Vineyard abuse and follower of stories coming out for years now, this podcast was a disappointment. Whistleblowers have shared the truth well before this podcast.
