Summary

What do you do when someone calls you "toxic" and says they don't want you in their life anymore? Is it even possible to reason with someone who rejects reason and objective truth? Because deconstruction can manifest itself in various ways and across various types of relationships, there is no one-size-fits all approach to these questions. But how do you determine what to say, how to say it, and when to even set your own personal boundaries in conversations about faith and doubt?

This week, Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett return to continue the discussion on their brand-new book, 'The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, and How to Respond.' Frank, Alisa, and Tim will unpack some of the challenges that come with walking alongside people in the process of deconstruction and tips on how Christians can navigate these unique challenges. What's the connection between deconstruction and critical theory? Should you feel guilty if you fail to successfully reach an ex-vangelical? How can you discern the motivation behind a person's decision to deconstruct? All this and more will be discussed in this special follow-up podcast episode!
