Many churches are facing growing distrust of pastors and institutions, questions about the Christian faith, and a lack of deep biblical formation. On today’s episode, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss these cultural and Christian trends and how church leaders can respond with wisdom, truth, and grace.

- Some people deconstruct their faith. But they often do not know how to rebuild it.
- Many Christians have strong opinions—but weak biblical foundations.
