This is great J.R! Often people feel like they have to have it all together that they are not able to question things or struggle through things. Many people/ churches struggle to create real community where they can be supported well to ask these questions.

From experience, I think a lot of Christians who are opposed to deconstruction see how popular it has become and how many people who do deconstruct end up even more lost and broken because they are listening to the worlds narrative rather than God’s.

Yes. I think this is an important thing to remember is that the church and those who attend don't have it all together and that's alright. We are called to grow into who God created us to be, and growing takes time, and sometimes had growing pains.

It is sad to see people deconstruct their faith only to fall away, and my hope is to help people walk through it back to Jesus if they come across my content in hopes to see them strengthened.

Alisa Childers has a book and YouTube about deconstruction. She experienced it.

It’s a way for people to believe what they want to believe rather than the Truth.

I say that we don’t reconstruct or construct our faith. Our faith is a gift and God is the Creator. We don’t fall into their trap that this is something we do. It’s new age thinking in a different way. New Age religion focuses on what people do to get to heaven, not what God did and does.
