DISQUIETED: Deconstruction as a modern crisis of belief

In 2023, an interdisciplinary team of user researchers and spiritual directors framed a qualitative research study to understand the phenomenon of faith deconstruction among American evangelicals. DISQUIETED is a report that seeks to humanize and dignify the holistic experience people encounter as they undergo this modern crisis of belief.

The research team behind DISQUIETED took a deep listening approach to understand people's experiences because we believed that their concerns are rooted in real tensions, and that by attending to their experience we can discern a call to deeper spirituality for all individuals--not only those who deconstruct, but also those who hope to accompany others on that journey.
