Episode notes

Good Faith is a production of Redeeming Babel, and it's where friends who follow Jesus help each other make sense of the world. Our guest today is John Ward, he's the senior political correspondent for Yahoo News. For decades, John as a journalist has been helping people made sense of the White House, Congress, and other political institutions. And he's done this in his writing, and also in his excellent podcast, The Long Game.

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.
