Questions Covered in This Episode:

Let’s talk about deconstruction: Where has this come from?
What is the most helpful way for us to approach people's real questions?
Don’t we also need cultural deconstruction?
How often are we deconstructing how culture (sarcasm, the sexual revolution, systemic injustice) has influenced us and our beliefs?
Can the church be salvaged? Why not just embrace an anti-institutional practice of following Jesus?
