Summary

This weeks episode delves into a series of thought-provoking questions that touch upon various aspects of faith and life. Topics include the personal nature of belief and faith in God, the challenges of wrestling with doubt despite a desire for spiritual connection, the essential needs of the modern church, the pursuit of hearing the voice of God and dealing with doubts after a period of spiritual distance, the struggle of leading a family when communication turns abusive, sharing faith in a mission-oriented workplace, navigating fear of expressing Christian beliefs in a cancel culture society, and the potential consequences of church affiliation with larger organizations. The episode also explores the church's mission and vision in reaching the unreached and offers insights on how to serve beyond the confines of a church's physical walls. Join us as we journey through these deep and impactful questions of faith and life.
