Deconstruction, Suspicion of Institutions and the Resurrection

Joe comes in for a conversation. He's number 6 or 7. Homeschooled but not quite as you can imagine. 

Parents had questions about the institutional church
Stopped going to church as a family when he was 6 of 7 years old
Still identify as Christians. 
Looking for the kind of community looking for healing 
Father raised southern Baptist
Terrified of God growing up. 
Started going to church again as a teenager
Twin Lakes church
Didn't find the sense of belonging that every human is looking for
Why do I believe any of this? 
Hit a point when he didn't believe any
All three brothers went through a deconstructive process
The whole propositional framework
Freest weeks of my life. Born again but de-converted
From there got into the New Atheist crowd
Wrapped up in that until JBP came on the scene
Wrestling with "the church" 
Where's the body of Christ? What is it supposed to look like? Where to find it? 
This isn't just Christianity. We're all trying to find that… What does true community look like? 
Vervaeke helped integrate some of the more academic pursuits
Internalizing the sage, who is the sage? What is the sage? 
Piece together the sage through the men he encounters? Who are the men he looks up to?
