How can you believe what the Bible says about sexuality when Christians have acted so hatefully? How can you be a Christian given the church’s record on race? Questions like these have caused many to doubt—and even deconstruct—their faith. Where can we find help when we feel racked by doubt or are walking alongside someone who is?
In this talk from TGCW24, Collin Hansen and Rebecca McLaughlin explore these questions and offer hope and help by pointing to Jesus, the One who has the words of eternal life.
