Jesus Endorses Deconstructing Faith

Recently some prominent pastors have issued critiques of “deconstruction,” the process of questioning traditional Christian beliefs and practices. David offered this counter perspective: Jesus endorses deconstructing faith. Drawing from the story in Mark 2:1-12, David provided this chart that contrasts four friends deconstructing a house with the religious authorities who enjoy the prime spots within the house.

How comfortable are we with “deconstruction” for the sake of faith, liberation, and healing?

Are we, like Jesus, okay with the destruction of personal property when it gets in the way of God’s gifts?
