Can we question our faith without losing it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAward-winning author, pastor, and professor A. J. Swoboda has witnessed many young people wrestle with their core Christian beliefs. Too often, what begins as a set of critical and important questions turns to resentment and faith abandonment. Unfortunately, the church has largely ignored its task of serving people along their journey of questioning. The local church must walk alongside those who are deconstructing their faith and show them how to reconstruct it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on his own experience of deconstruction, Swoboda offers tools to help emerging adults navigate their faith in a hostile landscape. Doubt is a part of our natural spiritual journey, says Swoboda, and deconstruction is a legitimate space to encounter the living God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter Doubt\u003c\/i\u003e offers a hopeful, practical vision of spiritual formation for those in the process of faith deconstruction and those who serve them.
