Christian Deconstruction | Ep 82

Can Christian deconstruction become part of deep discipleship?In this episode, Brian Fisher takes a brief pause from the Kingdom Dwellers mini-series to reflect on church, career, family, disappointment, and the difficult journey of spiritual formation. Drawing from The Critical Journey, Brian explores why many Christians eventually hit the Wall—where the familiar rhythms of church, service, sermons, and leadership no longer seem to sustain the deeper work God is doing in the heart.The episode considers different meanings of Christian deconstruction, from leaving the faith altogether to questioning inherited theological systems, church models, and assumptions about spiritual maturity. Brian reflects on why the modern church often serves people well in the first three stages of formation but may struggle to guide people through the Journey Inward.Using Eustace Scrubb from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as a picture of painful transformation, this episode asks whether some forms of deconstruction may actually be Jesus peeling away false identities, control, performance, and hidden ideas so that something truer can emerge.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
