You may have come across the terms “deconstruction” or “exvangelical” in recent years, or have perhaps seen high-profile Christian leaders walk away from the faith.

But what is deconstruction, and why does it seem to be a growing problem?
On this episode of the podcast I’m talking with Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett, who have just written a new book together called The Deconstruction of Christianity: What it is, why it’s destructive, and how to respond.”

Alisa is a wife, mom, author, podcaster, blogger, speaker, and worship leader. She’s the author of two other books “Another Gospel” and “Live your Truth and other lies” which we have had conversations about on previous episodes of the podcast.

Tim has worked as an apologist for Stand to Reason since 2015. Tim trains Christians to think clearly about what they believe and why they believe it.
He’s also the host of the popular YouTube Channel “Red Pen Logic with Mr. B.”

On this episode we’ll talk about:

What’s deconstruction is
What factors into a person’s decision to walk away from the faith
The role of social media in fueling this phenomenon
How we can rightly respond to those in our lives who are struggling with or have walked away from the faith they once professed.
