Hear Alisa Childers & Tim Barnett speak about:

Christians Deconstructing Their Faith

What do people mean when they say they’re deconstructing their faith?

You have probably heard someone, either in your life or on the internet, claim they are deconstructing, or are a deconstructed Christian. In today’s world, that could mean just about anything. Some use the term to share that they’re analyzing what they truly believe, while others are pushing aside Biblical ideas altogether.

In this talk, Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett shed light on this topic by sharing what deconstruction is, why it’s dangerous, and how to respond to a loved one that is deconstructing their faith with grace and truth.
