Should Christians Deconstruct Their Faith?  Do you have a loved one who is deconstructing their faith, and are you struggling to know how to respond? Are you trying to understand the radical spiritual makeover your friend or family member is going through? Maybe your relationship with a loved one has been strained or even cut off because of your “toxic” Christian beliefs and you don’t know what to do. Maybe you’re experiencing doubt yourself and facing hard questions about truth, God, the Bible, theology and the gospel. In this timely interview Jonathan Morrow talks with popular author and speaker Alisa Childers about these and other important questions.

A movement called ‘deconstruction’ is sweeping through our churches and it is affecting our loved ones. It has disrupted, dismantled, and destroyed the faith of so many, and this book can help you not only understand what’s happening but also stand your ground and respond with clarity and confidence.

Some who leave the faith feel wounded by the church. Others feel repressed by some of the moral imperatives found in Scripture. For some, it leads to a custom-made spirituality. For others, deconstructing their faith leads them away from the truth into agnosticism, atheism, the occult, or humanism.

About the Book:

This book will help you understand what deconstruction is, where it comes from, why it is compelling to some, and how it disorients the lives of so many. You will be able to think through the main issues around faith deconstruction and explore wise and loving ways to respond from a biblical worldview.

How do you develop a more meaningful connection with God? What can we learn from the prayer habits from Christians around the world? Are there patterns that we can learn from to grow in prayer? How can prayer influence our leadership. In this podcast, Jonathan Morrow has a conversation with Ryan Skoog about these and other questions surrounding his new book Lead with Prayer.

In this episode of "Lead with Prayer," we dive into the profound concept of “wasting time with Jesus” and its transformative impact on leadership. Drawing from over 100 interviews with global leaders, we uncover surprising common themes in their prayer habits that can inspire anyone, regardless of their leadership role. At Impact 360, we emphasize that everyone is a leader because everyone has influence, making this discussion relevant to all. We explore the integration of both fast and slow prayers into daily routines, offering practical advice for leaders to maintain a deep, personal prayer life amidst their demanding schedules. Through personal anecdotes, we highlight how intentional prayer has led to significant breakthroughs and served as a foundation during challenging times. Finally, we provide actionable steps for cultivating a culture of prayer within teams and organizations, ensuring that prayer becomes a meaningful and impactful practice for all.

What does it look like to be biblical and counter-cultural when it comes to walking in unity today? Conversations around race, tolerance, social justice, racial reconciliation, and critical theory can be challenging and confusing, but what does a biblical approach look like? In this podcast, Jonathan Morrow had a conversation with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager, about their new book Walking in Unity: Biblical Answers to Questions on Race and Racism.

What does it look like to have courage to stand through suffering? What biblical principles can we apply to our lives? How do we order our lives to cultivate a life of courage that will stand in the day of suffering? In this powerful story from former fire chief Kelvin Cochran who was fired for his biblical convictions, you will be inspired and encouraged to stand strong no matter what is going on in your life. In this practical interview, Jonathan Morrow and Kelvin Cochran discuss 5 lessons that help you in times of suffering.

About Kelvin Cochran 

Kelvin J. Cochran serves as senior fellow and vice president for Alliance Defending Freedom. In this role, he reports directly to ADF President and CEO Michael Farris. Cochran is responsible for overseeing ADF’s Leadership Development Program, leading
programs that will assist, encourage, and support Christians who are victims of cancel culture attacks; overseeing ADF’s Prayer Initiative Team; and speaking at ADF events to engage and promote ADF’s mission to defend religious liberty. Cochran also supports ADF’s Church and Ministry Alliance by working to increase its partners.

Cochran dedicated over 30 years of his life to fighting fires and protecting the communities in which he’s lived and worked. After being born into extreme poverty in Shreveport, Louisiana, he worked his way up the ranks and became Shreveport’s fire chief in 1999 where he served until he was appointed fire chief for the city of Atlanta, Georgia in 2008.

His exemplary service record drew the attention of President Obama who appointed Cochran as the administrator of the U.S. Fire Administration in 2009, the highest office in the profession. He then resumed his post as Atlanta Fire Chief in 2010.

After the city of Atlanta terminated Cochran’s employment because of his Christian faith and beliefs, ADF represented him in a federal lawsuit. A federal court ruled the city of Atlanta discriminated against Cochran’s religious views and violated his First Amendment rights, and the city of Atlanta agreed to a favorable settlement.

Prior to his role at ADF, Cochran served as chief operating officer of Elizabeth Baptist Church in Atlanta. He is the author of two books, a sought-after public speaker, and is an advocate for religious liberty and unity of the body of Christ.

In this fascinating podcast, we delve deep into the centuries-old mystery surrounding the Shroud of Turin and explore the compelling evidence supporting its authenticity. The Shroud, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ, has intrigued researchers, historians, and believers for generations. Join us as we interview Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, a renowned New Testament scholar, to examine the scientific investigations, forensic analyses, and historical context that shed light on the remarkable features of the Shroud. We also tackle the important question: Is the Shroud of Turin a genuine historical artifact or an elaborate hoax?
