Contend for the Faith | Truths That Transform

On this week's Truths That Transform, we'll rebut the lie that faith in God should only be personal and private. And we'll consider how to obey God and contend for the faith.

The Deconstruction of the Christian Faith with Alisa Childers | Ep. 67
The philosopher Jacques Derrida was the founder of “deconstruction,” a way of criticizing not only both literary and philosophical texts but also political institutions. Eventually this thinking was applied to religion. Today, there is even a battle over the word “deconstruction” in regards to the Christian faith. But simply put, deconstruction is a tearing down of the faith.
Alisa Childers is a best-selling author and popular podcaster. Her latest book is called The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It’s Destructive, and How to Respond

Weaponization of the Justice Department with Steve Crampton | Ep. 64
Following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, we have seen a drastic increase in prosecutions of pro-lifers for simply protesting the issue of abortion.
