Carolyn Custis James is known for saying, “the moment the word ‘why’ crosses your lips you are doing theology.” We are asking you to join us in what we are calling the "Why?” event.
We – you and me - are part of God's story. Your story may be the one someone needs to hear. What have you learned about God in the midst of your "whys?" As you share, please keep in mind this is a place to share, not a place to preach. This is a place for building community, a place to profess and confess the goodness of God. Know that our prayer here is that this be a helpful place, a place to increase faith, not a place to argue or debate. So, by the grace of God, this will be a place of blessing, a place of blessed community, a safe place where love and encouragement are found. Have you gone through a trial and seen God firmly in the midst of your circumstances? Are you going through a challenge now and need prayer support?
