I truly believe that what we're seeing happen with a lot of people who deconstruct and get rid of these beliefs is they've never really tasted that the Lord is good, as it says in First Peter.

They haven't tasted the beauty of the Christian worldview.

Welcome to Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

Today we're going to have a timely discussion about a movement that is sweeping across social media,

and it really is impacting the church.

Thanks for joining us.

I'm John Fuller.

John, I don't mention this very often, but I want to paint a picture for the listeners, the viewers on YouTube,

about what we walk in here every day trying to do.

So it's evangelism and discipleship.

A lot of people don't know. Last year, we had

190,000 people come to Christ through focus. I think it's because family is such a place to

talk about beliefs, right? So it's natural. So I'm really happy that we're impacting people like

that. Then, of course, it's marriage and parenting, advocacy

for kids with foster care program, our option ultrasound program. And then finally, culture,

how do we engage the culture in a way that is Christ ordained, you know, long suffering,

all the fruit of the spirit, being kind to people, et cetera. I'd say today's program fits the culture

component and the disciple component. And we are going to talk about deconstruction. Many of

you might be saying, what is that? It sounds like a big word. And we're going to get those definitions

today from two great guests. Yeah, we've got Elisa Childers and Tim Barnett with us,

and they're both parents and apologists, and they're passionate about understanding the truth, especially as it comes to this matter of faith deconstruction. How do we look at that?

We'll be discussing some of the concepts in the book they've co-written called The Deconstruction of Christianity, what it is, why it's destructive, and how to respond. And you can learn more
