It’s another truly dangerous conversation. Want to thank our friends over at Red Truck Men, sponsors of this episode. [music] And James, are you going to get me in trouble again? >> I’m just trying to ask questions. >> I’m so glad that you are and as I have always promised you and everybody else that I will always be honest with you and and have these conversations.
In fact, I think the fact that people are too afraid to have dangerous conversations with their own children is one of the reasons why people are deconstructing. So, let’s just talk about what deconstruction is. I when I first heard it, I was like, is this a construction project that’s being pulled apart? Um, well, kind of, but it’s in reference to people’s Christian faith, and it’s called deconstruction.
So the idea is we’re is people are dismantling their belief system and it’s it’s often guided by atheists or people who are anti-Christian and they’re saying well why do you believe the Bible is really the word of God or why do you believe Jesus rose from the grave and then they will sort of ask the questions that people have never thought of or or they have thought of and never got good answers and then they’re given answers that essentially serve to be like dynamite and begin to blow up the very structure and then
ultimately the foundation of their faith and they walk away and they say, “Well, I’ve I’ve left my faith behind. I’ve deconstructed because I asked all the good questions and now I’m I’m a rational thinking person.” So that’s deconstruction in the sense that we’re talking about it. And James, you’re saying that it’s epidemic.
