Is very difficult for you to understand your own Epoch because it’s the only time in which you live… We’ve fully arrived into a secular age… a philosophical position where God at best has moved to the very periphery of society

Are we (America) exporting deconstruction?
Many Christians are experiencing deconstruction of faith… eventually I would say the church in the entire western world will have to pass through those fires… is simply inevitable
Brian Zahnd
(On skepticism) We don’t sustain christian faith by avoiding the hard questions
SKIP TO: 15:38
I don’t think we live in a christian nation or a christian culture
You are not gonna sustain faith by pretending you aren’t occasionally struggling with doubts
Brian Zahnd
A Struggle is Presumed. I think we are in a much safer place when we are struggling to maintain and live christian faith than when we just assume that is easy or that we can just sort of like follow Jesus by flowing downstream
We allow Jesus to precede over the scriptures. I understand people can get confused about that, because is the Scriptures that point us to Jesus
Not all doubts are bad, some things that we find ourselves doubting in fact should be doubted
Brian Zahnd
On a Sunday after Easter, of all things, He is the pastor!, the pastor of the church gets up and announces to his congregation that he is an atheist, and he’s been an atheist for a year and a half and he’s decided that Christianity is all a fable and we should all be done with it and live our lives.
Jesus is the revelation of who God is
From Blasphemous to Divine
What do you think!? Can you have faith and unbelief?
