Deconstruction and Doubting Faithfully

In this session, Josh Porter dives into the heart of faith, scripture, and the human experience of God. Exploring how the Bible is both divinely inspired and humanly written, he reflects on the collaboration between God and flawed authors, showing how narrative and story convey truth across time and culture.

Josh wrestles with tough questions: How can we reconcile scripture with science? Why does God allow suffering and evil? How do we navigate imperfect churches and community life? Using examples from parenting, relational love, and the Christian tradition, he illustrates how freedom, choice, and consequence are central to God’s design.

More than a theological discussion, this conversation is a pastoral reflection on doubt, deconstruction, and the grace of God pursuing humanity. Josh’s insights offer practical guidance for navigating questions of faith, community, and the problem of evil, inviting listeners to engage seriously, thoughtfully, and compassionately with the Christian story.
