New Series

"I Have A Friend Who..."

How do we talk to a friend who doubts whether God exists or is the Creator? Or to a friend who doesn’t believe, worries all the time, is sad, lonely and confused? How do I begin to have a spiritual conversation with a friend who believes they were created to be with the same sex? How can we be Christ and share Christ with these friends? This series faces these issues head on.
