So a term that's probably been around a long time, but I've just heard it articulated in the last

four to five years, deconstruction. Some of people that I've known are sort of celebrities and

Christians are walking away from the faith. It's called they're deconstructing what they had

previously constructed. I don't know if it's a new term or not, but I've seen it more and more.

It feels like a lot of people are deconstructing.

I think for parents, that's really scary because I'm talking to so many parents that have

adult children that are in college or beyond and they have stopped going to church.

And so I think we don't know what to do as parents, and we want to help our kids.

We're not sure how.

We got Dr. Markukugur back in the studio, and we had a great conversation about kids really walking away from the faith yesterday.

Well, welcome back for day two.

Well, thank you. Great to be here again.

I mean, when you hear that term deconstruction, I know we've got your book sitting here surviving Religion 101, Letters to a Christian student on Keeping the Faith in College.

And we talked yesterday, you know, about you writing letters to your own daughter.

And it's obviously brought her to college students about this topic, really, deconstruction.

It is.

Is it a new term?

I mean, you know, it's funny.
