Mark 1:9-11 ~ Questions Christians Avoid: If I am spiritual, why should I care about church?

During the Easter season, we will be considering questions Christians often avoid that many young people as well as people wondering about Christianity frequently want to ask. Some of these topics may be uncomfortable for us as believers as young people often see through the masks and inconsistencies of our lives, but I hope in considering these questions we can humble acknowledge our own weaknesses and point each other to the glory and beauty of our God. This week, we consider why people identify as “spiritual but not religious,” how Christians have impacted their faith, and what it is about church or religious practices that could benefit those who identify as “spiritual but not religious.”

Psalm 73 ~ Questions Christians Avoid: Can I be a Christian if I doubt?

During the Easter season, we will be considering questions Christians often avoid that many young people as well as people wondering about Christianity frequently want to ask. Some of these topics may be uncomfortable for us as believers as young people often see through the masks and inconsistencies of our lives, but I hope in considering these questions we can humble acknowledge our own weaknesses and point each other to the glory and beauty four God. This week, we consider how we can not only hold onto our faith, but even grow a deeper faith as wrestle with both God and our doubts.

2 Timothy 3:10-17 ~ Questions Christians Avoid (Week 1)

During the Easter season, we will be considering questions Christians often avoid that many young people as well as people wondering about Christianity frequently want to ask. Some of these topics may be uncomfortable for us as believers as young people often see through the masks and inconsistencies of our lives, but I hope in considering these questions we can humble acknowledge our own weaknesses and point each other to the glory and beauty four God. This week, we consider a less emotionally fraught question, but one that influences so much of how we live as believers: what do we mean when we say the Bible is the inspired word of God? To guide us in these refections, we will be considering 2 Timothy 3:10-17.
