As Christians, we have to realize that God reveals truth, reveals even things about himself. There is just absolutely zero chance you can make sense of this world by yourself as an individual. You need institutions set up with people like John Word who are paid for their work. Now, doesn't mean those institutions are perfect or infallible. They also are made of fall, valuable human beings.
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.
