This four-week series explores the importance of having margin in our lives. Margins are “the space between our load and our limits” (Mark Lenz), times that we can give God to grow in our walk with him. Each week focuses on a different spiritual discipline—directly related to margin—that we see put on display in the life of Jesus.

A series beginning on Easter Sunday, To My Friend Who Left the Faith explores the reality that sometimes becoming and staying a Christian is hard. From “traditions” that churches adopt that aren’t essential for following Jesus, to culture wars and “church hurt”—an unprecedented number of people are walking away from faith. But what if Jesus is better than many of the issues that push people out? What if doubt isn’t an enemy of faith, but a normal part of the spiritual formation journey? This series offers hope to those struggling with faith or who have left the faith altogether. Following Jesus, through doubts, offers us all a life of profound belonging, purpose, and identity.

Many people inside, and outside, the local church struggle with some of the following questions: Does doubt have a place in church? How do I know Christianity is true? If God is so good, why do some Christians act so terribly? How can a good God allow so much pain and suffering? In our current series, To My Friend Who Left the Faith, we are exploring some of these questions to make room for one another. With a bit of empathy and grace we want to step closer to one another so together we can step closer to Jesus.
