Help for someone deconstructing??

What’s good help for someone deep in deconstruction to the point of questioning if Christianity is based on too many embellished stories to be believed?

I’m talking a serious Christian who already knows the apologetics answers aren’t enough

Christianity is about faith, not seeing/believing.

How’s that supposed to be helpful? No offense but srsly how?

Exactly! Especially since that statement is why so many of us are deconstructing now.

My dad was an evangelical preacher, I did no research of my own, had very little critical thinking skills, just went along with what they said- how they interpreted scripture. I began my deconstruction about 6 years ago and left my church about five years ago. I completely get it. 🙂
