Deconstruction. It’s a term loosely used to describe a process of systematically dissecting — and often rejecting — beliefs and belief systems.

How did this happen? What did God use to not just make a church grow, but create a movement of Christ followers who are brought into the mission of loving God, loving people, and changing the world?
