How to analyze and reevaluate your Christian beliefs and experiences in the church while keeping the core of your faith intact.
The number of Christians leaving the church today is significant. Many feel there is no place for them within the faith—they no longer feel at home in their church community or tradition. For various reasons, they are unsettled by the version of Christianity they've inherited.
Stripping away the nonessential aspects of Christianity, Sean McDowell and John Marriott will help you navigate the jarring questions and cultural challenges that lead many to walk away from the faith. You'll come to recognize that there are other ways Christians throughout history have understood what faithfulness to Jesus looks like.
Each chapter provides practical advice on how to disassemble, rethink, and reassemble beliefs that are truly Christian and culturally and personally relevant. You'll learn how you can continue to seek an authentic faith by:
- Establishing Jesus and his teachings as the foundation.
- Utilizing the creeds as boundary markers of what is essential.
- Seeing the entire Bible as a truthful revelation from God.
- Seeing Christianity as a historic and global tradition that encompasses diverse communities and viewpoints.
The authors of this book can personally identify with the process of disillusionment that many young believers go through. They wrote Set Adrift as people who had to navigate their own way back through the fog of deconstruction. They wrote it to offer their own personal suggestions for what to do when you're not sure what to believe anymore.
Reflection questions and resources are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

So, how does one proceed with evaluating what is important in their faith journey? In this easy to read book, McDowell and Marriott do an excellent job answering that question. The authors contend that the first step is to have a guide and guardrails. Although the ultimate guide is Jesus Christ, it is important to have someone that you can talk with who has a faithful understanding of Jesus. The guardrails defined in this book will prevent you from spiritually crashing. The logic and the motivations for deconstruction that is presented is outstanding. The illustrations and stories used to make their points are awesome. I really enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot about my faith in the process. I would highly recommend this book!
