Episode notes
Deconstruction Defined
- Deconstruction is best defined as a postmodern process of rethinking faith that does not treat Scripture as the final authority.
- Alisa Childers argues this shift of authority from external truth to internal conscience is the movement's core.
Social Media As A Multiplier
- Social media fuels deconstruction as a social contagion by amplifying short, persuasive videos and community support.
- The movement's hashtags reach millions and create an infrastructure that normalizes leaving historic Christianity.
Use Apologetics When Doubt Arises
- Do pursue apologetics and study historical and manuscript evidence if you or loved ones face doubts about Scripture.
- Alisa Childers recommends testing skeptical claims rather than abandoning faith when questions arise.
