Collin Hansen interviews Ian Harber about his journey through deconstructing and reconstructing his faith.
—
Five years ago, Ian Harber wrote an article that went viral just before the world shut down for the COVID-19 virus. The article tells the story of leaving and returning to an evangelical church. Based on the response to that article, he’s far from alone in doubting the church and Christian beliefs. And hopefully not the only one who’s made his way home.
Ian has a new book, Walking Through Deconstruction: How to Be a Companion in a Crisis of Faith, published by IVP. Ian neither valorizes deconstruction nor dismisses this painful experience. As a result, he’s written a brutally honest, defiantly hopeful book that can help anyone undergoing this process as well as everyone who loves them.
