"There's a process by which information goes to the printed page or even the TV screen that people generally are probably not super aware of," he says. "I would also say the internet has degraded to some degree this culture of rigor and fact checking, but the DNA of major media institutions is a culture of having safeguards in place"

Jon Ward, senior political correspondent for Yahoo News, joins Curtis to talk about his process of deconstructing - and reconstructing - his life as a follower of Jesus. Jon draws on his recently released book, Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed a Generation, to dissect the spiritual, social, political, and emotional dimensions of his years growing up as an insider in the evangelical world. Jon also provides a fascinating account of why his life as a journalist has been so crucial to his faith. Curtis offers the Biblical basis for why deconstruction - properly understood - is necessary for every generation of believers.
