Deconstruction of Christianity | Tim Barnett on Truth, Faith & the Crisis in Today’s Church

Is deconstruction a path to truth—or a postmodern rejection of it?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I have an incredible conversation with Christian apologist Tim Barnett about the growing movement of “deconstruction.” From redefining truth as subjective to rejecting Scripture as authority, Barnett explains why this trend differs from reformation and what Christians can do to respond with both compassion and conviction.
The question that changes everything:
What happens when faith becomes a matter of preference—like ice cream—instead of a matter of life and death, like insulin?
📌 In this episode, we uncover:
✅ Why deconstruction rejects Scripture as the ultimate authority
✅ The false equivalence between deconstruction and reformation
✅ Barnett’s “ice cream vs. insulin” analogy on truth and faith
✅ How churches unintentionally create unsafe spaces for questions
✅ Why biblical faith is not blind, but evidence-based active trust
✅ A practical framework for engaging outsiders, insiders and critics
✅ 8 steps to lovingly walk with someone deconstructing
