Pastors love to warn that “deconstruction” is dangerous, claiming that when you practice it, you will inevitably lose your faith. But the truth is, to deconstruct, is way more about examining what you’ve been taught and finding what’s real. So, in this episode, we break down the difference between deconstruction and destruction, and why misusing them matters. We share how Scripture actually encourages healthy questioning, and why God is never upset when His children seek truth. You’ll hear us discuss how fear has been dispatched to keep people from thinking critically, and how deconstruction can be the beginning of an authentic, grace-filled walk with Christ. Join us as we give an encouragement to embrace questions, embrace truth, and embrace freedom.

Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone. - Ephesians 2:20 ESV
