Exploring Faith, Pursuing Grace

S01:E15 The Prophetic Voice of Deconstruction w/ Scot McKnight


Listen Later

In this conversation, Daniel Rogers and Scott McKnight discuss Scott's book 'Invisible Jesus' and his personal journey of deconstruction from a conservative Christian background. They explore the reasons behind deconstruction, the search for a more authentic faith centered on Jesus, and the implications of leaving traditional church structures. Scott emphasizes that many who deconstruct are not abandoning their faith but are seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus and a community that reflects that desire. In this conversation, Scot and Daniel explore the themes of liminality, community, and the journey of faith. They discuss the process of moving through phases of doubt and inquiry, emphasizing the importance of relationships and the freedom to question beliefs. The dialogue also touches on the concept of tolerance, the agnostic condition, and the need for churches to reorient around Jesus as the central figure of faith. Ultimately, they highlight that love is the essence of knowing God, and that true understanding comes from a place of humility and openness.
