Are you looking for a way forward?

• Struggling with a faith that no longer seems right?
• Real doubts about God or Bible?
• Science has made christian belief unbelievable?
• Or maybe your faith is strong but you have unanswered questions.

You’re not alone.

And maybe you’re in the right place here.

Doubt can be the doorway to new understandings

Helps us to think in new ways.

Letting go of things we can no longer believe.

Leaving space to reconstruct our faith around reasonable beliefs we can hold with confidence and integrity.

I’ve been thinking about these issues for a while

I’ve read a lot – authors who know their stuff.

Perhaps something I’ve learnt will spark a new insight for you.

See what you think.

The big questions

Some questions loom large when you’re struggling with your faith.

• How can I deal with these feelings of confusion and uncertainty? How can I ever have faith again?
• What’s God really like? If he’s loving, why does bad stuff happen?
• Could Jesus really have been God on earth? How can we understand him?
• The Bible is a jumble, a puzzle. So much love, so much terror. How can we understand it and gain from it?

I’ve struggled with questions like these for years. I’d love to share with you some of the insights I’ve stumbled across.

I believe answering these questions leads to a renewed and satisfying faith.

I hope you’ll find something useful here.

All this and more

The Bible
The Bible is an essential source for the christian faith. Yet it is also the cause of many difficulties. But the difficulties can be resolved.
