When at a spiritual crossroads, how do you know which path to take? In today’s episode with guest Brian Zahnd, founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in Saint Joseph, Missouri, we discuss his choices as he traveled the path of deconstruction from behind the pulpit. The situational circumstances he was presented with allowed him to transition his church, but it was a long, challenging road. He gained the joy of a better, stronger spiritual understanding, but also the loss of friendships and half his congregation. 

From the last episode with Safi Kaskas, we pull on the thread of finding common ground, working together for understanding, and worshiping God the best way you know how. 

In this episode, we cover:

• Breaking down the term deconstruction
• The critique of American nationalism within the church
• The patience, time, and fortitude needed to go through deconstruction and come out the other side
