Episode notes

We're part of the body, and when one part is being abused, we are being abused. By definition, you needto be part of a community to do that. There's just no dordash version of christianityther you don't get god delivered to you individually in your own little cocoon. That's not how this works. And i think somebody who, you know, what i think the responsibility is is to say we repent of that damage. We don't just repent by saying, we're sorry. Accountability is hard.

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.
