There is a fire that has been growing in recent years. It’s not a new fire, it is a fire of mistrust and skepticism directed toward anything institutional.
Also, the last few years have been a rough stretch in the eyes of many, for the evangelical church. Plagued not only by the ever-persistent pandemic crisis, an increasingly polarized cultural-political environment as well as some instances of internal scandals.
Perhaps it is not surprising that this same period of time has seen a rise in so-called cases of de-construction—people who once claimed church going Christians but then, for whatever reasons, hit the roadblock of doubt and deconstruction and… bounced.
Doubt has become hip. It's a vibe. The desire to fit in with the cultural ethos of our moment is strong. That’s why so many de-conversion stories sound like everyone’s reading off the same script
But not everybody today has the same ideas when it comes to the term “deconstruction”. For some, it simply means that we should ask hard questions about whether the version of Christianity we are following is consistent with the Scriptures. The writer of Ecclesiastes says not only is, “there is a time to tear down", but also that, "there is a time to build."
Deconstruction without reconstruction is a tragedy.
In this episode of KEEP IT 100 we will conclude our conversation on Deconstruction, give a biblical proven answer to this dilemma and hear from two young pastors who have personally faced this dynamic up close.
