This post is about Christian deconstruction and how it relates to Christian unity.

What is Spiritual Deconstruction, part 4 is an article claiming that much deconstruction would not happen if the gospel was not just talked about, but lived out by Christians everywhere loving our enemies and those with whom we disagree.

I remember the first time I found out that a close friend of mine was deconstructing his faith.  We were close.  Very close.  He moved with his family away from New England to the underbelly of the Bible Belt – the South.  He, like me, had befriended Rob Bell literature in all of its glory, and as time went on, he began to really hold on to some of the main tenets of Rob Bell’s theology, which as his books rolled on and he left his church, became more and more loosely affiliated with Christ.

This is where we are at in our culture.  We want to soak in all of the details between two famous actors – one seasoned, A-lister who’s been around a while & one young, vibrant blonde who’s younger and in 2022, much easier on the eyes.  And they’re defamation law suits about the way each of them have treated one another are now online, on YouTube, or just about anywhere else you can find them.  Our culture is absorbing every bit of the detailed fallout in their relationship.  And truthfully, I’ve found myself watching a few clips of Johnny’s testimony or Amber’s tearful reaction.

Recently I’ve noticed a disturbing trend on our more visual, open bedroom walls, otherwise known as our social media pages:  It would seem we have developed a taste for ‘heroes’ who divide us as Christians.  I certainly have.  I tend to enjoy the likes of Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, so I share their tweets and youtube videos.  I do this because I’m somewhat of an independent thinker and voter.
