To My Friend Who Left the Faith #2 - The Prodigal Son

Written By David Friesen
 

Description

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.
