    Navigating Faith Deconstruction and Doubt with Biblical Wisdom | The Well Podcast S9E04

    When your faith feels like it’s cracking, what do you do with your questions? In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastors Chad Glover and Jonathan Clark talk honestly about faith deconstruction, Christian doubt, spiritual questions, and church hurt. They explore why so many young adults are walking away from church, how events like 9/11 and COVID-19 have intensified faith crises, and why simply suppressing doubt doesn’t work.  They invite you to bring your hardest questions to God and His word. Drawing from Galatians, they explain how we sometimes need to “lose faith” in legalism and deconstruct what is false so we can rebuild a real, experiential faith in Christ. You’ll hear practical tools for processing doubt in community and developing a more honest walk with Jesus.   📌 Episode Mentions: Scripture: Mark 9:23-25 From Bondage to Abundance Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2jJ7VKI1R8An6tTJdSlYQyF&si=h3whLV18V0bT3ZDM The Reason for God by Tim Keller: https://timothykeller.com/books/the-reason-for-god How Does Jesus Respond to Someone Who Is Deconstructing Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/GVsRp-7zM6Q?si=xLMmZtkzxBi36qKg 📌 Supplemental Resources: This Week’s Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/live/cukkkBNarC0?si=7TLlJbY7Q_rRpwAy Galatians Sermon Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hERqKwKXCfBdI-88g3mxoS&si=A6yNEW2_0vBrFfA5   Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Connect with Pastor Phil ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc Books & Resources: abundant-life.com/resources   Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://abundant-life.com/resources/sermons/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
