What do these things mean and why are people talking about them?</p><p>On today’s episode of the StephUp Podcast, I welcome special guest, Tim Whitaker from the New Evangelicals, a group that is “centered on Jesus, driven by our stories and committed to pushing the church forward together.”</p><p> Deconstruction can mean different things for different people. </p><p> <b>“One of our core values as New Evangelicals  is that we really don’t want to dehumanize other people, even people that we really, strongly, vehemently disagree with.”</b></p><p> Tim and I discuss CRT, right/left politics, church abuse, different interpretations of the Bible, and can we really know what is true?</p><p><b>“In our society, we are such an either/or society. Either you are a Christian or you are an atheist. Either you are an evangelical or you are a heretic. What a lot of us are saying is actually that is not healthy at all. There is really a wide spectrum and evangelical is simply one room in Christian thought.&quot;<br/></b><br/></p><p>Check out The New Evangelicals and listen to the podcast on the <a href='https://www.thenewevangelicals.com/'>website</a>, on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/thenewevangelicals/?hl=en'>Instagram</a> and on<a href='https://twitter.com/newvangelicals?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor'>Twitter</a></p><p>Follow StephUp Podcast on <a href='https://www.instagram.com/stephup_podcast/'>Instagram</a>,  <a href='https://twitter.com/steph_ann_webb'>Twitter</a>, and her website at  <a href='https://www.stephanieannwebb.com/'>www.stephanieannwebb.com</a>.</p><p><a href='https://www.stephanieannwebb.com/bookstore.html'>Buy Steph&apos;s book</a>, “What Should Dragon Do?”</p><p>Support the podcast: <a href='https://www.buymeacoffee.com/stephuppodcast'>Buy Me A Coffee</a></p>","author_name":"Stephanie Ann Webb"}
