Truth Over Tribe: Christian Takes on Culture, News & Politics

Why Did Philip Yancey Deconstruct His Faith? with Philip Yancey


Listen Later

Philip Yancey's story is a compelling journey of faith, doubt, and grace. Raised in a toxic, fundamentalist church, he grew disillusioned, seeing God misrepresented. His faith hung on by a thread in college, where he became a campus rebel, a heretic in the eyes of many. But Yancey didn't abandon his faith; instead, he deconstructed it to rebuild something more authentic. His writing career became a quest to rediscover Jesus, prayer, and the essentials of faith. Encountering grace in its purest form, Yancey's story is a testament to the power of reimagining faith beyond legalism and into the liberating arms of genuine grace. If you're grappling with faith or just love a good redemption story, this episode is a must-listen!
