What if you aren't actually deconstructing your faith? What if something else is going on? In the 3rd episode of The Rebuilt Life Podcast, Robby, Nato, and Stu continue their discussion of deconstruction. Using an article written by Joshua Ryan Butler they discuss where he got it right and where he got it wrong. Maybe deconstruction isn’t the worst thing ever. Maybe you’re not actually deconstructing.
