A criticism of Christianity is often that it is too narrow? Why do Christians think that there path is the only path? Isn't that arrogant? What about all the other religions in the world, don't they basically teach the same thing at their core? The key for Christians is what Jesus himself said, and claimed himself to be. John 14:1-6. Are we willing to accept that or not?

This is the age old question that many people have struggled with. How can a good God continue to allow bad things to happen in our world? There are no easy answers to this, but there are Biblical teachings which help us thoughtfully reflect on this because we aren't the first to have this question.

Often there is a tension between science and religion, as though they work against one another, but is this necessary? Can't religion and science both help us make sense of the world around us, including the questions of why we exist and why the universe is even orderly at all so we can use scientific theory to understand how it operates?

Everyone has them. Some are trivial; however, the answers to other questions matter a great deal because the answers may give ultimate meaning and purpose to our lives. Join us as we explore these difficult questions.
