you matter.

your questions matter.

this month’s questions:

  • The Bible says that when we pray we should "close the door and pray to our Father in secret," but I feel it's also valuable to have times to gather and pray with fellow believers. What do you think?

  • people are always talking about their truth. how do we know what is true?

  • How do we let go of things that are not in God’s plan for us? i.e a relationship, crush, desire

  • My friend says that her and her ex were “in love” but I tried to explain to her what was real love and what is not but she won’t listen. How would I explain what is a simple attraction & what is love?

HOW IMPORTANT IS A QUESTION?

See what we did there? Questions are prompts for thinking. They are the manifestations of our Creator-given-curiosity. They are essential in understanding God, ourselves and the world around us.

We take questions seriously, because we take our students seriously. Questions matter, because they matter. It is imperative (for their intellectual and spiritual development) to carve out intentional space to answer their questions: Questions about doctrine and belief, family and peer relationships, ethics and morality, media and culture… questions about anything. Our aim is to teach our students to ask good questions and to go to God for the answers. To paraphrase Del Tackett, for every department of our lives, for every direction we may go, God has spoken.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We use a third-party app called Pigeonhole to receive questions from students. We open up the forum in advance of the Ask Anything session, so students have time to think and compose their inquiries. They can submit questions anonymously if they choose. They even have the ability to “vote” on questions submitted by other students that they are most eager to hear answered. At the Ask Anything session, Pastor Bryan answers the students’ questions (with dialogue along the way) from a Christian worldview.

Our Ask Anything sessions are typically the first Wednesday of the month during the Common Ground worship hour.

AFTERWARDS.

SUPPER FOLLOWS OFF-CAMPUS AT CHICK-FIL-A on Dawson Road in Albany. Students are responsible for their own transportation and meal.
