Episode Synopsis


Deconstruction is a big buzz word, but why does it seem like everyone is doing it? Are there patterns as to why people deconstruct their faith? Are there even some reasonable reasons why they start deconstructing? Cameron and Luke dive into the big reasons people deconstruct and how there needs to be a pastoral response not just a theological response. 0:00:00 Intro0:02:30 Curiosity about Deconstruction and Faith Crisis Perceptions0:03:04 Importance of Pastoral and Theological Responses0:03:52 Challenging the Black-and-White Perspective0:05:34 Church's Fear of Post-Modernism0:06:17 The Contention: Constructing a Thought System to See the World0:08:16 Holding Beliefs with Clarity and Openness0:09:09 The Complexities of Interpreting the Word of God0:11:20 *Teaser Clip - Consequences of Misinterpreting Scripture0:15:10 Sons of God and Daughters of Man0:18:40 Hermeneutic Gymnastics and Special Revelation0:20:53 Jumping off from truth to conjecture0:21:44 Exploring Nuances of Belief in Christianity0:29:52 Lack of Nuance in Church Teaching and Deconstruction0:32:19 The Nuanced Communication of God's Love and Eternal Punishment0:37:00 The Need for Churches to Bridge the Gap on Scripture Authority
