Deep dives
Understanding Deconstruction and Deconversion
Deconstruction and deconversion are distinct concepts that often intersect. Deconversion refers to individuals who previously identified as Christians but no longer believe or follow the faith. Deconstruction, on the other hand, involves questioning and reevaluating one's beliefs within the Christian faith without necessarily leading to deconversion. The podcast explores how deconstruction can lead to a more robust and authentic Christian faith, contrary to common assumptions. It is emphasized that deconstruction does not have to result in heresy or deconversion, but can instead lead to a deeper, historically grounded understanding of Christianity.
