For those who position themselves against the idea of Christians deconstructing, I'd ask just one simple question:
How do you grow and learn if you don’t deconstruct?
I’ve cringed while listening to some of the sermons I taught 20 or more years ago.
Why?
Because, as I’ve grown, I’ve experienced life, pain, hardship, success, failure, joys, betrayal and all the things that attend a life lived, dressed in human skin. And that has, to a significant degree, changed the lens through which I view Scriptures (Note that I didn’t say it has changed the Scriptures or their meaning). When your sight is failing, you change lenses. That is the nature of deconstruction!
