In this lecture from Jude 3 Project's 2022 Pastors & Leaders Conference, Alycia Wood walks through nine of the most common reasons people walk away from Christianity — from science, “blind faith” and moral issues to the problem of evil, church hurt, and the perception that religion is irrational or outdated.

This isn’t about attacking atheists. It’s about understanding the questions behind the deconstruction—and learning how to engage them with clarity, compassion, and intellectual honesty.

We explore: • Has science replaced God? • Is morality possible without a Creator? • Are atrocities proof religion is the problem? • Is faith blind—or evidence-based? • What does atheism actually offer in place of Christianity?

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt… If someone you love has left the faith… If you’ve been told Christianity is for “irrational thinkers”…

This conversation is for you.

Christianity doesn’t fear hard questions. It invites them.

We’ve been taught that exhaustion means we’re doing it right. That carrying everything alone is strength. That rest can wait.

But what if rest isn’t weakness — it’s trust?

In this episode, Lisa Fields and Yvette Henry unpack why burnout isn’t a badge of honor, how hustle culture quietly shapes our faith, and why rest is actually an act of obedience. Drawing from John 15 and Yvette's new book "Release, Rest, Remain", this conversation invites you to loosen your grip, let go of control, and trust God with what was never yours to carry.

Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do… is stop.

Is the Bible actually the problem… or are we?

In this session from Jude 3 Project's 2022 Pastors and Leaders Conference, Dr. Charlie Dates dismantles common critiques around racism, patriarchy, authority, and Scripture—and calls us back to a cleaner, more faithful reading of the Bible. No dodging. No fluff. Just truth.
