The What and Why: Deconstruction Part 1

Over the next few weeks, we will be talking about Deconstruction & Reconstruction which we know a lot of you have been wanting to learn more about. This week, we are focusing on defining the term “deconstruction”, discussing why are you hearing more about it and why it isn’t just for evangelicals, plus so much more. Brian and Fr. Shay are also sharing a bit of their deconstruction stories.

Next week we’re going to talk about the actual process of deconstruction, the stages people go through, and how you can continue to process and make something beautiful on the other side.
