Dealing with Doubt: Spiritual Deconstruction and Reconstruction

Over 40 million people in America used to go to church but no longer do. Many of them began their process of “deconstruction” in college. What is it that’s causing so many people to leave the faith, and what’s an appropriate response? Are the claims of Christianity reasonable?

Join us for an evening with Dr. Gavin Ortlund, where he and Dr. Molly Worthen from UNC will discuss the phenomenon of spiritual deconstruction. They’ll offer advice on how we can come alongside friends and family who are wrestling with doubt, as well as how to process our own.
