Summary

There seem to be a number of people "deconstructing" these days--and by that we mean deconstructing the Christian faith and leaving it. At Theocast, we are not unfamiliar with deconstruction. We do some deconstructing of unhelpful theology in an effort to pull people toward the sufficiency of Christ for sinners. On this episode, Jon and Justin make observations about the "Christianity" people are leaving, as well as offer thoughts on how to do deconstructing well. Semper Reformanda: The guys continue the conversation on deconstructing by speaking more to those in a confessional environment about the dangers of always having to be against something. Ultimately, we need to remember that the goal of everything we do is for the saints to rest in Jesus Christ.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, we're going to be talking about a current trend or something
0:07.6	that we see happening quite a bit these days, and that is deconstructing. And by that term,
0:11.6	we mean people who are deconstructing the Christian faith and leaving it. So John and I are going to
0:16.3	talk about that today. We realize that we do some deconstructing here at Theocast as we try to think

0:25.3	deconstructing well. We'll talk about some of the pitfalls that people find themselves
0:30.2	stumbling into. And ultimately, we want to talk about the building up piece, how at the end of
0:36.4	the day, we want to be building one another up in the Lord Jesus Christ and his sufficiency in the place of sinners.
0:42.7	So we talk about that on the regular episode and then really kind of carry that over into Semper Reformation today where we give some more words to our confessional friends out there.
0:51.9	We hope this is encouraging for you.
0:54.4	And we hope it's clarifying in some ways

0:59.2	A simple and easy way for you to help support Theocast each month
