Today I sit down Dr. A. J. Swoboda, Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies and World Christianity at Bushnell University in Eugene, OR. I was first introduced to Dr. Swoboda through a recommendation for his book, After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith without Losing It. I read through his book and used it for a Wednesday PM Bible study, and loved it. His earnestness in dealing with the issues of #faith #deconstruction while remaining connected to a #church were a breath of fresh air, and his even-handed approach leaves readers feeling both comforted and convicted.

For this return of From the Vault (highlighting talks at Upper House), we're listening to a March 2022 event featuring theologian A.J. Swoboda. Swaboda argues that doubt and questioning, rather than signs of faithlessness, present us with an an opportunity to deconstruct and reconstruct our ideas and beliefs—to deepen in understanding about who we are and what we believe about God.

It has become vogue to deconstruct everything, especially Christianity, without any desire for the reconstruction of something that is closer to the real Jesus Christ and the way of life he offers us. Honest doubt about what we've been taught is a good thing. In fact, healthy deconstruction can create great spiritual growth. But doubt can also lead someone to lose their faith. Our guest says that we can question our faith without losing it. A. J. Swoboda (PhD, University of Birmingham) is assistant professor of Bible, theology, and world Christianity at Bushnell University. He also leads a Doctor of Ministry program in Holy Spirit Leadership & Ministry Practice at Fuller Theological Seminary. He is the author of a number of books, including the Christianity Today 2019 Book Award Winner (Spiritual Formation) Subversive Sabbath (Brazos Press, 2018). His latest book is titled After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith without Losing It (Brazos Press, 2021). This book is a much-needed assist to doubters and those of us who are seeking to help them. -- Buy A.J.

In this episode we discuss doubt and deconstructing faith with Dr. A. J. Swoboda, who is Assistant Professor of Bible, Theology, and World Christianity at Bushnell University (Eugene, Oregon), and the author of After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith without Losing It (published by Brazos). Over the course of our conversation we talk about what doubt and deconstruction are, and what healthy and unhealthy versions of each can look like. Dr. Swoboda understands doubt as something precipitated by what happens to us, whereas deconstruction is an active undertaking. Along the way we talk about the role of professors and pastors in the work of disorientation and reorientation, and how faith leaders need to begin by displaying to others how they themselves wrestle with the difficult questions of the faith. Dr. Swoboda tells us about how all of his personal heroes of the faith, including C.S. Lewis, Flannery O'Connor, and Henri Nouwen, etc., all had serious challenges in their life of faith. Swoboda describes his own doubts as sacred thorns that he gets to share with his students who also wrestle with tough issues.We need to practice the ministry of the ear, as Dr. Swoboda says, and we need to give “spiritual consent” before we respond to someone's doubts and deconstruction, asking someone confiding to us how they're inviting us to respond. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. Amber Bowen and Dr. John Anthony Dunne.
How should we as parents respond when our kids express questions about their faith? How do we parent our kids well in the midst of our own questions about faith? Author, professor, and pastor Dr. A.J. Swoboda speaks words of hope and encouragement for all of us from his latest book "After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith Without Losing It." His words are both challenging and comforting as he discusses the process of an individual's faith becoming their own, what it means for a child to differentiate from their parents, and the truth that God is with us in our doubt. In an era when words like doubt and deconstruction are commonplace, this is a critical topic in parenting the next generation.

High-profile Christians are “deconstructing” their faith. So are some of our family and friends. What are they doing, how might we love them through the process, and is there hope that after this deconstruction that they'll reconstruct a faith that glorifies God? “I think, to be honest with you, some deconstruction is absolutely necessary and healthy,” says pastor, professor, and author the Dr. Rev. A J Swoboda. “And some of it is also very dark and demonic. So it's a mixed bag.” Dr. Swoboda's newest book is titled After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith Without Losing It. Swoboda leads a Doctor of Ministry program at Fuller Theological Seminary. He is also an assistant professor of biblical studies & world Christianity at Bushnell University in Eugene. Addressing those who love someone deconstructing their faith, Dr. Swoboda says: “I think the most important thing we can do is create space for people who are asking really big questions, and don't marginalize or ostracize or shame people that are in the midst of these experiences. People can download podcasts, but they can't download friends. And the truth is we need people who make space for others in the midst of their struggles.” And if you are the one deconstructing the faith: “I want to say to the person who is going through the deconstruction: keep drawing yourself back to the community, the Resurrection community. . . All of us are going to go through bouts and experiences of having a hard time believing. Keep showing up. And we all have the promise of hope, that Christ will reveal Himself fully to each of us. But we play a role of not giving up. Keep coming back. There is hope. Keep coming back.” You can learn about Dr. A J Swoboda and his books here. But if you want to know if Dr. Swoboda is related to former professional baseball player and sports commentator Ron Swoboda, you'll have to listen to the podcast.

In this episode Matt and Brandon tackle the popular issue of Christians deconstructing their faith and turning away from Christianity. You might be surprised to find that we don't think deconstruction is a bad thing--especially if we are constructing our bad images of God's character. In fact, we all need to "deconstruct" our faith at some point in our lives. We also give a little advice to those who have friends or family in this scary and important process. How do you help people experience the true, loving God? Also, you'll find out that Brandon once invited Jesus to smoke a cigar with him ;) --- Here's a link to the book Brandon referenced in the show: After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith without Losing It by AJ Swoboda --- We would love to hear your questions and comments.

In this episode, I talk with A.J. Swoboda about his new book After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith Without Losing It. Here we delve into the important topic of deconstruction.
In a recent editorial, David French asked whether the primary threat to the church comes from within or without? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the question and whether the church is primarily for or against the world. Plus, why are so many Christian ministries focused on protecting kids? Is it related to our fixation on the danger of hell? Then, Skye talks with A.J. Swoboda about his new book “After Doubt: How to Question Your Faith without Losing it.” He says a lot of people aren’t really deconstructing Christianity, but a false form of the faith that should be abandoned. And Swoboda explains the danger of a culture in which everything new is seen as superior.
