Questioning Christianity
We understand that many individuals face barriers when it comes to embracing faith in a higher power. In fact, recent research indicates that 50% of non-religious people who don’t believe in a God because they want a more ‘science and evidence based’ approach to belief. We want to understand what obstacles you may be facing in encountering God.
In 2024, we are asking you what would make the reality of God good news?
No matter who you are – sceptic, seeker or saint – we’d love to start a conversation with you about whether faith in God is deep nonsense or provides deep insights into the meaning of life.
