Many emerging adults in Christian communities, particularly those within the post-evangelical world, have undergone a process they call deconstruction, in which they question and “deconstruct” the faith in which they were raised. For most of us, this process of questioning one’s faith occurs during the college years of emerging adulthood and is developmentally appropriate. What is unique about this is that it is occurring in greater numbers and with greater emotional ferocity, leading to larger numbers of individuals leaving the church. This workshop explores how communities of faith can support the process of faith after deconstruction.
