What does it mean to "deconstruct" our faith, and should we be doing it? What negative role has the church played in this conversation? What perspective should we have if we find ourselves personally going through deconstruction?

Pastor Matt, Pastor Jamal, and Pastor Todd discuss these questions and offer their insight into this conversation. In this episode, we talk about how deconstruction should mean having the ability to have a nuanced conversation about faith. We talk about the tension of grace vs. justice, how others outside the church might perceive that concept, and talk about the difference between childlike faith (that Jesus describes) and childish faith (immature faith). Wherever you might find yourself in this conversation, your own attitude matters: are you seeking answers, or excuses?
