Deconstruction is a big topic. We’ve heard some say it leads to “wokeness” and Progressive Christianity. What does it mean and how can you be prepared if your kid comes home and announces they’re deconstructing their faith?

We sat down with Kamryn Nichols a couple of weeks before her wedding so she could share her story with us. As a young student, she was struggling to find her way because things didn't go as planned.

(Kamryn is the daughter of Kim Nichols, our nextTalk Event Coordinator, so we're calling this our first nextTalk wedding!)
