Why Deconstructing Christianity is Demonic | Live Free with Josh Howerton

About this sermon

Have you ever wondered why so many wrestle with doubt, or why some walk away from faith altogether? Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Tim Smith dive deep into the conversation around faith, doubt, and the cultural trend of deconstruction, addressing topics like Christian nationalism and church hurt. They celebrate an incredible Easter movement at Lakepointe Church, share firsthand stories of life change, and unpack why doubt doesn’t have to mean defeat. With honesty, wisdom, and a touch of playful banter, they explore the spiritual battle behind belief and offer practical encouragement for anyone navigating questions about their faith. 👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update!   👇 DON’T MISS OUT!
