On this bonus episode of Reconstructing Faith, hear from Trevin Wax as he has a conversation with Jeff Medders about expressive individualism — the “you be you” culture.

At the beginning of this season, we asked a question, what goes into the making of a disciple? How does a follower of Jesus become so well-formed, so well-prepared that when the time of testing comes, whether it's a crisis of courage or a call to quiet faithfulness, they step into their destiny as the person God has always planned for them to be? On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he turns to the words of Jesus for a blueprint of what life in God's kingdom looks like. The only way we will be ready to rebuild is if, by the power of the Spirit, we live in ways that align our character with the words of Jesus so that we resemble the King who calls us to this holy task.Connect with Trevin      • on Twitter: @TrevinWax     • on Facebook     • subscribe to Trevin’s email newsletter Have a question you want to ask Trevin?

The real test of a movement is in its ability to accelerate and accomplish Christ's command to make disciples. And you can't gather a large group of people without disagreement and debate over what shape the church's faithful witness should take in our day. Real collaboration with Christians from around the world involves conflict. It's messy. The conversations are tough. The debates are real. And this has always been the story of the Christian church. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he examines seven of the big challenges facing the church worldwide. And take a closer look at what lies ahead for the global church as we seek to follow Christ faithfully.Connect with Trevin      • on Twitter: @TrevinWax     • on Facebook     • subscribe to Trevin’s email newsletter Have a question you want to ask Trevin?

As words like toxic and abusive are increasingly applied to ordinary stresses, the way we interpret and respond to conflict changes. This isn’t just a cultural issue. It’s impacting the church, too. There’s a generation gap developing when it comes to leadership, authority, and resilience in church relationships and ministry. Older leaders don’t always share the same assumptions or expectations as younger leaders. The loss of common language and outlook can lead to relational breakdown. We will not be able to rebuild in the coming years unless we are resilient, unless we persevere through heartache and disappointment. On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he asks: how do we serve together through pain and conflict? How do we deal with disappointment in our pursuit of church renewal? What does spiritual resilience look like in a world that needs resolve?Connect with Trevin      • on Twitter: @TrevinWax     • on Facebook     • subscribe to Trevin’s email newsletter Have a question you want to ask Trevin?
