One of the factors that lead to deconstruction is the discrepancy we often see between what people profess to believe and what they actually practice. In today’s podcast I invite you to listen to a conversation with Jeff Lockyer, Lead Pastor of Southridge Community Church, about how to reclaim the way of Jesus in our personal lives and in the life of our local churches, so that people would run to Him instead of from Him. DON’T MISS this one!

As we’ve been having conversations around deconstruction, church hurt, and disillusionment in the Christian walk, it became evident that deconstruction does not have to lead to a turning away from God, faith, or the church. God is still at work in all our stories, healing the wounded, restoring the broken, and rebuilding community.
Today, tune in to hear some hopeful words from Ron Zappia, pastor of Highpoint Church, for the believer, the church, and for you who might have left or are considering leaving the Christian faith.

In today’s Fractured Faith Book Launch series, we’re going to look at deconstruction from a different perspective. Questioning beliefs or practices that are popular but not necessarily biblical can lead to a deconstruction that, although painful, can bring about a faith that is grounded in what Jesus taught rather than Western Christianity and a faith that reflects His character more.
Don't miss today's podcast with my friend Carlos Rodríguez, founder of The Happy NPO.
