Grit, Grace, and a Faith That Endures

Deconstructing your faith is simply the trendy rebrand of an older word: backsliding. In this candid, unfiltered message from City Light Church, Pastor Bo examines the testimonies of those who have walked away from Jesus and uncovers a striking common thread — abundant religious activity paired with little to no genuine intimacy with God. From there, he lays out the four non-negotiables he and his wife refuse to compromise on, both in raising their children and in shepherding every believer at CityLight. If you've ever wondered why some Christians drift away while others finish strong, this message is for you.
