| Questions?! |
|---|

| — Perhaps you`re looking for resources to help friends, co-workers, or family members who are unsure and uncertain, maybe taking steps towards disbelief? |
| This site contains a number of articles and blog posts designed to assist you navigate this landscape of doubt and uncertainty. You will find them organized into different topics, with a central emphasis on two themes: |
|---|
| — Are you “conflicted”? Perhaps you love Jesus but dislike church. Maybe you like some Christians you know, but disagree with their politics. This section contains articles related to themes of frustration that occur when the practice of following Jesus runs headlong into the realities of a broken world. |
— Do you feel that God is “silent”? Perhaps you recognize some of the conflicts mentioned, and youre not getting the answers you seek, whether its searching the Bible, attending church services, or roaming the internet. This section addresses the topic of seeking God and hearing His voice. |
