Are you searching for meaning, questioning purpose, or wondering about faith? You’re not alone. Many people wrestle with the big questions: What is faith? Why does it matter? Can I believe in something bigger than myself? The good news is that faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about the journey.

Faith Welcomes Questions

God welcomes curiosity. He isn’t afraid of our doubts or struggles. In fact, the Bible is filled with people who questioned, including Thomas, who doubted Jesus’ resurrection (John 20:24-29), and Job, who asked why he was suffering. Their stories remind us that faith isn’t about having it all together—it’s about bringing our honest thoughts and questions to God.

Faith is About Relationship, Not Just Religion

Christianity isn’t just about following rules or rituals. It’s about a personal relationship with God. He isn’t distant or uninterested in your life. He desires to know each part of your life, even the ones that you are too afraid to bring to Him. Jesus’ life and teachings reveal a God who meets people where they are, even in moments of doubt and uncertainty. How to Explore Faith with Confidence

  1. Ask Questions Freely – Faith isn’t about blind belief; it’s about seeking truth. Embrace curiosity and explore the tough questions.
  2. Look at Jesus – If you’re wondering what Christianity is about, start with Jesus. His words and actions reveal the nature of God. A great place to start would be reading the book of John in the bible. 
  3. Engage with a Faith Community – Faith grows in conversation. Either online or in person, find a group where you can discuss, ask questions, and learn from others.
  4. Be Open to the Journey – Faith is a process, not a destination. Taking small steps forward, even with uncertainty, is part of the experience. Progress > Perfection 

You’re Not Alone in Your Search

No matter where you are in your journey, you’re not alone. Keep asking, seeking, and exploring. Who knows? You may find something real and life-changing along the way.
