Faith for Real
What does it look like to be a Christian in the modern world?
That's the question I'm trying to answer on Faith for Real.
The Bible was written thousands of years ago, and we live in a world the people in it wouldn't recognize. But we're still supposed to live by it. And that gets really interesting when you get down into the normal decisions we make every day, because most of them don't have a clear "the Bible says do this" answer.
So I want to dig into those questions.
What does Scripture say? What principles apply here? What have we accepted as normal without thinking much about it? What are we free to enjoy? What's wise?
What isn't? And how do we know the difference?
That's what we're working through on Faith for Real.
