John Cooper, the frontman for Christian rock band Skillet, recently declared war against deconstruction during a concert and followed it up with a long Facebook explaining the dangers of deconstructing one's faith.

In this episode, Paul, Jeremy & April address Cooper's attack on deconstruction, what he got wrong and what it actually is.

Then we talk about what it's like when people from our evangelical church past come into our lives to leave us comments and messages full of gaslighting and christianese.

We end the show talking about what non-violent weapon we would bring to the frontlines of John Cooper's war.
