Sally Kohn: I picked up the emotion of anxiety. In two weeks time, I'm releasing a book on anxiety. My most intense experiences of anxiety and understanding what I was experiencing as anxiety have definitely come since having children. To bring Fujimura up again, he has a great quote where he says, the post resurrection reality or disposition is one of relaxed confidence. And I think that term relaxed confidence is where I want to be as a person of faith, as a follower of Christ.

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.
