THE STORY BEHIND MY NEW BOOK: “Reconstruct Your Faith: Ancient Ways to Make Your Relationship With God Whole Again”
Limited Time 25% Discount for Pre-Orders
I had to face the reality of the dire situation I was in.
I was the pastor of one of the fastest-growing churches in America, but I was losing my faith … fast.
It was no longer something I could ignore; it threatened to end my employment at this church, rip apart my career, and tear apart the unity in my family. There was a very real chance that I could end up unemployed, unemployable, and divorced.
All of this because I had irreconcilable differences with the church, I thought… or maybe it was with God… or with the Bible. It was hard to tell where the problem was, I just knew that I had a catastrophic problem on my hands.
And worst of all, I had nowhere to turn.
I was alone.
I had lost trust in my denomination and most of the Christian institutions that I had once placed confidence in. I’d become all but completely disillusioned with the Evangelical movement which had been my home since birth. I’d even become skeptical of many of the pastors and Christian leaders that I had once fervently followed.
I looked around and saw nothing but crumbling walls everywhere around me, and I wondered if there was any hope for me beyond the destruction.

Reconstruct Your Faith is the vulnerable, gut-wrenching story of my dark night of the soul. It is the story of the epic meltdown of my faith and the unique path I took to reform it.
Reconstruct Your Faith is a book about spiritual formation, which is not simply going to church, reading the Bible, and praying more, as you may have been taught. Spiritual formation is the unburdening of an exhausted heart so that it can stretch, open, and grow into something more beautiful than you could have ever imagined.
That is what I hope this book will do for you as well, create something more beautiful than you could have ever imagined.
As more and more Christians are called to “deconstruct” their faith, Reconstruct Your Faith will help guide you through your journey of asking big questions about big things so that you can understand how—and when, or maybe even if—to build that faith back.
I invite you to join me on the journey as I deconstruct the toxic beliefs that once defined me, then work to reconstruct something more sacred.
This book is an essential resource for those struggling with where to go with their questions; it is a chart for navigating the waters of religious doubt and frustration. Drawing on teachings and ancient spirituality lessons from the early Christian church and reflecting on faith in our modern world, this book actively explores the kinds of questions that have threatened to shipwreck countless believers, and demonstrates how you can restore your faith—even when it seems that the church has abandoned you.
Whatever your destination, know that this path of de- and reconstruction has been walked before, by me, and by so many others, and it can be walked again by you, and you will not be walking it alone.
