Pastor Matt Shantz led a sermon series to create space for evaluation, to ask hard questions, to acknowledge where the Church "missed it"... and to offer the real thing.

He comes on the podcast to talk about that and some tools for "good deconstruction," recognizing it can be the road toward reconstructing a more mature, robust faith that grapples honestly with the deepest questions of life and, most of all, focuses on Jesus and constructing beautiful faith.Topics: 0:00 Constructing Beautiful Faith13:55 Jesus & Doubt23:12 Church Hurt43:10 Purity Culture57:50 Political Idolatry1:12:28 Anti-Intellectualism1:23:33 Disenculturation1:41:50 Conclusion: What will you do with Jesus?
