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“blind faith” and moral issues to the problem of evil, church hurt, and the perception that religion is irrational or outdated.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.
