“Deconstruction” has become a buzzword in Christian and secular communities, with the concept meaning different things to many people and, in turn, sparking no shortage of controversy.With some well-known Christian leaders and celebrities renouncing their evangelical faith or, at the least, retracting from it, the social phenomenon of deconstruction has left many with questions about what's causing the dynamic and how much culture is responsible for these deconversions.Dominic Done, author of the book, “Your Longing Has a Name: Come Alive to the Story You Were Made For,” recently told Pastor Daniel Fusco what he believes is driving the phenomenon.“We've got to have conversations about [this],” Done said on a recent episode of Fusco's “You're Gonna Make It” podcast. “There are so many people who are wrestling with their faith, who are struggling with doubt.”The author said some who find themselves deconstructing are most certainly dealing with apologetics issues that can fuel doubt — but he has also found other elements driving deconstruction and moves away from the faith.“One of the things I've learned in our ministry is … many times it is an apologetic issue. They want to know where the Bible comes from or why is there evil and suffering in the world,” Done said. “But nine times out of 10, I'm discovering that what's fueling doubt and deconstruction often is a soul that's weary or disillusioned or struggling.”These struggles might come from a plethora of arenas, with Done adding some have “seen too much in the church” or have become disillusioned by Christianity due to issues happening socially or culturally. “Many times it's a soul issue,” he said. “And so that really encouraged me.”Done said much of the issue comes back to the health and wellness of a person's soul, breaking down the importance of being in a spiritually healthy place.“If our soul is flourishing and healthy, then nothing we go through can destroy us,” he said. “The health of our soul shapes the outcome of our life.”The author said he's hoping “Your Longing Has a Name” helps people find ways to get their souls to flourish, heal, and seek restoration.Done also spoke about the importance of differentiating between healthy doubt and questions of faith and the “cynical deconstruction” that has become a cultural movement of sorts, leading people to abandon churches and their childhood faith.Listen to everything Done had to say on this topic.CONNECT WITH DANIEL FUSCO:- Follow Daniel on Facebook- Follow Daniel on Instagram- Follow Daniel on Twitter
