Our third segment is Faith.  This segment will discuss all areas and topics surrounding faith and Jesus. We will define what faith is and why faith, God and Jesus are such difficult subjects for many to talk about.  We will discuss what it means to have faith, how do you get it, and what does it mean to not have faith.  We will talk with people who have multiple viewpoints. This will lead to very interesting discussions.
