  • 'Deconstruction' in pop culture often means a demolition, not maturation of faith.
  • Josh Porter distinguishes renovation (spiritual formation) from demolition (deconstruction that ends in deconversion or personal pan-spirituality).
INSIGHT

Provocation As A Publishing Strategy

  • Provocative titles can summon strong preconceptions before people read the content.
