CNN's John Sutter talks about the role of religion and politics in American society. He argues that there was a break point between expressed values of the church and lived values of the Church. Evangelical conservatives are now more likely to say character doesn't matter, he says. This is what i meant by the like, hey, you parked wrong in the parking lot, right? As the deflection of, yes, om abuse. Yes, exactly.

David French and Curtis Chang discuss the hot topic of “deconstruction,” a term with multiple meanings, from reevaluation of specific faith related issues to a deeper questioning of Christian faith itself. For many the discussion around deconstruction stems from some sense of pain or hurt caused by the church. David and Curtis (and producer Kris) explore the complex and deeply personal dimensions of this process, including practical suggestions for listeners.
