Help! I’m Losing My Religion! A Discussion on Deconstruction

In a world where things change minute by minute, one thing is consistent—we’re losing our faith. Every year, the percentage of people identifying as “Christian” drops lower and lower. People just aren’t buying what the Christian faith is selling...maybe you aren’t buying it. Maybe it’s the Church’s treatment of people groups. Maybe it’s your own past trauma. Maybe it’s the injection of politics into the pulpit. Whatever the reason, the Christianity you knew began to crumble, and so did you. But if you’re walking this difficult path, there’s good news—God is not afraid of your deconstruction. In fact, your deconstructing faith could be the doorway to a deeper faith. One richer, stronger, and more profound than you could ever imagine.

When the Faith You Knew Isn’t True

Deconstruction is often a terrifying journey. The faith that you thought you knew crumbling around you? It disrupts and challenges the very core of what you believed was true. But what if the faith that you knew isn’t the faith that is true? What if your faith was actually built on a counterfeit version of Christianity? And what if deconstruction is a doorway to a deeper faith?

Old Testament, New Doubts

How do we wrestle with the idea that one of the biggest drivers of deconstruction is the Bible? The violence in the Old Testament, the examples of slavery and polygamy...these are difficult to reconcile. When you were little, someone telling you, “...because the Bible says so…” may have been good enough. Not anymore. Now you’re a grown up with grown up doubts—and those grown up doubts deserve grown up answers.
