Join us May 14th at 7 p.m. Eastern Time for Lighthouse Voices with Elisa Childers and Tim Barnett.

Co-authors of the Deconstruction of Christianity. Faith

deconstruction is a growing movement influencing churches and

drawing believers from the solid ground of biblical truth. At this event

Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett will help us understand what deconstruction really is, why it's influencing so many, and how the church can help those who are wrestling with their faith.

held in person in Holland, Michigan and online via live stream.
