Crack the Case on Hard Questions About Our Faith!
Crack the Case on Hard Questions About Our Faith!
In this D-Group, we will take hard to answer questions that deal with some aspect of our Christian faith and begin to "crack the case" through discussion and looking at evidence found in the Bible and elsewhere!
Many of these questions will be difficult to fully come to a complete "answer". That is the point! They are difficult questions you may often hear asked by skeptics or unbelievers, so they are often not simple to conclude about.
This D-group is here for us to dive deep as fellow followers of Christ, as we begin understanding why we believe what we believe and how to share that with others!

“Scripture, tradition and reason are not like three different bookshelves, each of which can be ransacked for answers to key questions. Rather, Scripture is the bookshelf; tradition is the memory of what people in the house have read and understood from that shelf; and reason is the set of spectacles that people wear in order to make sense of what they read"
- Bishop N. T. Wright
To discuss a question, you would:
Look at what the Bible says FIRST (scripture)
What the Church has traditionally believed about the question in the past (tradition)
Think about what the Holy Spirit is saying to you personally (experience)
Bring it all together to think critically and arrive at some conclusion; definitive or not (reason)
