Deconstructing Christianity? – A talk with Tim Barnett
by Westminster
“Deconstruction.” It’s trending. It’s a word that is used when people radically re-think, re-shape, or sometimes even walk away from their faith.
It’s not necessarily the same as having doubts. Having doubts is normal from time to time. This, however, is something different. It is an organized movement to undermine many of the beliefs of the Christian faith without using the Bible as a standard.
You probably know someone who has re-shaped their faith in a way that seems “off,” but you’re not exactly sure how or why. Perhaps you want to better understand what is happening, either for a friend or family member, or maybe even for yourself.
If so, buckle up.
Tim Barnett (along with Alisa Childers) has written a helpful book: The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, And How To Respond. This podcast is an interview with Tim.
Tim is an apologist and speaker with Stand to Reason, an apologetics ministry dedicated to training Christians to think more clearly about their faith. He speaks to thousands of people across North America every year (both in person and online), and his YouTube channel (Red Pen Logic) reaches millions of people every month. Tim has worked as a teacher, has a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, a Bachelor of Education, and a Master of Arts in Philosophy. He’s served on the pastoral staff at a church, is married, has three children, loves hockey, and has some cool hats (more about that toward the end of the interview).
