Ideas Have Consequences Faith Deconstruction: How Postmodernism Is Reshaping Christian Faith | Tim Barnett
Episode Summary:
What if deconstruction isn’t a crisis of faith, but a crisis of authority?
This week, we sit down with apologist Tim Barnett from Stand to Reason, Red Pen Logic, and co-author of The Deconstruction of Christianity to unpack the ideas behind the faith deconstruction movement and learn how it's affected every one of us in more ways than we realize.
We explore how postmodern thinking shifted authority from Scripture to the self, why that change reshapes conversations about truth, justice, and identity, and how social media is actively discipling millions. Make sure to listen to the whole conversation, as Tim also shares incredibly practical ways for Christians to respond with clarity, compassion, and confidence when friends or family begin questioning their faith.
If you’ve watched someone you love drift or are wrestling with these questions yourself, this conversation offers helpful categories, practical tools, and real hope.
