Navigating the Paradoxes of Christian Deconstruction

In today's episode, we sit down with Alisa Childers, author of “The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, and How to Respond.” We delve into the "deconstruction" movement and its growing influence in churches across the nation. What exactly is deconstruction, and should we be worried about it? Alisa also sheds light on the differences between conservative and progressive Christians and offers practical advice for those who have loved ones deconstructing their faith. Learn how to guide them back to the gospel in this insightful conversation.
