Summary
When you hear the word “deconstruction,” what comes to mind? An honest examination of biblical truth? An automatic rejection of it? Something in between?
In this episode, my friend, Alisa Childers—author, respected apologist, and, herself, a survivor of the deconstruction movement—does a great job of speaking to the need for defining our terms.
After all, if nobody knows exactly what the term “deconstruction” means, it’s going to be impossible to bring it before the light of Scripture and examine it truthfully.
Alisa and I also discuss why it’s important to understand this movement as moms who are charged with teaching our children God’s Word and encouraging them to seek truth over cultural trends.
Be encouraged that clarity in this area is not only possible but crucial to combatting the cultural lies that tell us we know better than God.
