\nMost pastors and church leaders will have at least one season of restlessness. It\u2019s the nagging question that keeps you thinking . . . what\u2019s next? In the case of the church, this question can be corporate, meaning you\u2019re thinking what\u2019s next? for the entire congregation. This question can also be personal, meaning what\u2019s next? for me individually. Thom and Sam discuss how pastors can use feelings of restlessness in a positive way.
\n1. There is a biblical call to contentment in ministry, regardless of \u201csuccess\u201d or not.
\n2. Use restlessness to create opportunities to serve others. Make restlessness about the people you serve.
\n3. The grass is always greener, especially when you are restless.
\n4. Don\u2019t fear restlessness, but don\u2019t embrace it either.
\n5. Sometimes restlessness may cause you to pause, but it should never put you in retreat.

\n
\nHere is your invitation to rethink everything you thought you knew.
\n
\nIn this process, you\u2019ll . . .
\n
\n \t
\n
\n \tlearn why it\u2019s important to deconstruct (and how we are wired to do it);
\n \tdefine deconstruction and deconversion\u2014what they really mean;
\n \tconsider WWJD (What Would Jesus Deconstruct?); and
\n \tapply the FUSE method to deconstruct for yourself.

\nDeconstruct Faith, Discover Jesus will help you to enter the mindset of a deconstructionist. A worldview with a high capacity for paradoxes. A mental space that outweighs your self-interest in being right. A tendency to see Christian beliefs as inseparable from Christian ethics.
\n
\nIn doing so, you will find the original deconstructionist, Jesus, right beside you.
