Deconstructing Faith -

 This is a great article, in some ways redundant, yet it does bring to light a few points that needed to be objectively looked at. 

It brings to light five reasons faith is being deconstructed by so many people, particularly the "young." 

1. Trust in large institutions is declining. 

2. We live in a more diverse and mobile world. 

3. High-performing Christians are simply burning out. 

4. Conformity over unity. 

5. Political Idolatry and Conspiracy Theories. 

Perhaps the most important element of this article was this: 

Deconstruction without reconstruction is a tragedy. 

I often tell my clients, if you take something away (thought, action, item), you must intentionally replace it with something, otherwise, that space will quickly fill up with unintentional thoughts, actions, items. 

"If the path you're on isn't making you a more generous, compassionate, ho9peful, and merciful person, then the destination isn't worth the journey."
