Jon Ward, senior political correspondent for Yahoo News, joins Curtis to talk about his process of deconstructing – and reconstructing – his life as a follower of Jesus. Jon draws on his recently released book, Testimony: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Failed a Generation, to dissect the spiritual, social, political, and emotional dimensions of his years growing up as an insider in the evangelical world. Jon also provides a fascinating account of why his life as a journalist has been so crucial to his faith. Curtis offers the Biblical basis for why deconstruction – properly understood – is necessary for every generation of believers.
