John Ward's new book, The Anxiety Opportunity, comes out on May 16th. If you're listening to this podcast at the week of its release, it is just eminent. You can pre-order it now if you're hearing this before May 16th,. If it's after, you can buy it right away. And one request that I have for my listeners: Please read the book and then please take the extra step of leaving a review on Amazon.
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.
