Expert Interviews

Deconstruction is a process. Deconversion is a potential result. But deconstruction doesn’t always have to lead to deconversion. This page includes helpful resources on understanding two kinds of faith deconstruction:

The “Rethink and Reform” kind
The “Dissect and Reject” kind

How can we respectfully come along side people going through each kind? Watch the following videos featuring interviews with apologists and faith deconstruction experts so you can be equipped to minister and engage with courage and compassion.
