John Ward has just written a book called testimony inside the evangelical movement that failed a generation. He says it's a memoir of an evangelical in deconstruction, evangelical deconstruction. "A healthy faith walk or journey is going to have elements of deconstruction and reconstruction ongoing all the time"
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.
