Has stories from the Bible caused you to second guess your faith? Do we have to believe every last detail about the Bible to be a "Good Christian"? The Bible can seem like a house of cards if we don't clarify what our foundation is.

Have you or someone you know walked away from Christianity because God let you down? What if we set expectations for God that He never promised? What if our understanding of God was wrong? Maybe the gods we abandon never existed

to begin with.

So many people are stepping away from religion at an unprecedented rate; Christianity in particular. But not because atheism is more appealing. People are leaving because religion has lost its appeal. Once upon a time Americans believed religion offered solutions. Today, religion is viewed by many as the problem.

Sometimes, faith is given to you, but other times, we must choose to trust in God. This is the story of Jairus and his daughter.

Luke 8:40-42a, 49-56

The story of the woman who was healed after bleeding for twelve years points to a God that desires to comfort those who are hurting. The woman placed her faith in Jesus because she knew His identity and mission.

We meet a demon-possessed man who was rejected by all cultures. How does Jesus reach out to this man?

Luke 8:26-39

Let's be honest - in the midst of the storm, we want the saving more than the Savior. So, how does Jesus address this issue with His disciples?

[Luke 8:22-25]

We have all inherited biases from our families. According to Jesus, in order to be a part of God's family, we must let go of anything in our hearts that may cause discrimination.

[Luke 8:19-21]
