MSM March Teaching Series: Faith in Real Life
Series Overview: Oftentimes churches teach at a level where they want their people to be, instead of meeting where their people actually are. Most people are not concerned with deep theological issues, instead are desperate to know how to follow Jesus on Monday after church, or Thursday after a Wednesday night youth group. This series addresses four main areas students get hung up or stall in their faith, and helps them to navigate the moments they are stalled in their growth.
