We are starting a new series on how to walk through deconstruction without losing your faith. Many people are asking questions about long-held assumptions in the faith they inherited, and it’s easy to assume that this means we are “losing” our faith. But there’s another way to walk through deconstruction: one that tenaciously holds onto Jesus as the foundation of faith, even as our ideas about the implications of that truth change.
Today we talk with Skye Jethani about the possibility and necessity of reconstructing a livable faith out of the ruins of whatever deconstruction we need to go through.

Thank you for sharing this podcast and it was very interesting. Many don’t understand the meaning of reconstruction, and they look elsewhere, instead of finding in themselves.
Is it possible to get a link to the Barna study referenced here about young people no longer asking if Christianity is true to asking if it is good?
Hi Stephanie, you might need to reach out to Skye via Twitter about this, as I’m not sure where to find the study. Sorry we can’t help!
