Have you ever found yourself doubting elements of your faith? Maybe you have even contemplated walking away from Christianity or faith or the church entirely. Or are you walking alongside a friend or family member who is in a season of questioning faith? Many Christians wrestle with doubts, hard questions, and a changing relationship with the beliefs they once held firmly. This experience is often called deconstruction.

In this three-week class, we’ll explore different forms of deconstruction, why so many people go through it, and how doubt can be part of a healthy, growing faith. Together, we’ll reflect on our own stories, look at some big cultural influences, and consider practices that will help us (and those we love) to reconstruct a faith that is both honest and strong.

Our guide for the journey will be A.J. Swoboda’s After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith Without Losing It. Each week we will use this book as a jumping-off point for discussion and personal reflection.
