This week we are talking about the deconstructing of faith. We will dialogue about the term deconstruction and what it has come to mean among our peers, as well as seek to find a better way of defining the process so rather than abandoning ones faith altogether it is built on a stronger foundation than before.  We interviewed Anthony Meyer and Wes Durrwachter who both recently went through the process of deconstructing their faith and then rebuilding it. Each of them has had somewhat different experiences, but both similarly have had to examine their beliefs and sift through what is actually Biblical and what they simply believed due to the cultural context they grew up in.  Follow Anthony on Instagram @ameyermusic | Follow Wes on Twitter @WesDurrwachter and be sure to check out his blog at https://wesdurrwachter.wordpress.com
