Deconstruction Research Project

"Deconstruction” has become a catch-all term for crises of faith happening in the individual, the church and the culture at large. This broad abstraction is in need of more precise examination: how might we understand the key forces shaping the current moment? How might we discern amidst the swirl of ambiguity which are fleeting distractions, versus where the Spirit is and has always been at work?

Faith deconstruction is a disorienting experience, but is also  ripe with potential for increased awareness and trust of God and possibility for the flourishing of the fruit of the Spirit. Qualitative research investigates the deep unmet needs of these individuals. We will be listening for the moments of opportunity to meet people in those deep unmet needs and offer resources to help others journey well with them.
