You have choice. We all do.
In fact, you have many choices. A life full of choices.
As a person of faith, it all starts with a choice. A choice to believe or not.
For many of us, that is a choice made for us until we were old enough to make it for ourselves. Then each of us makes it.
Sometimes it is an unconscious choice. The choice to keep doing what we always do. But it’s a choice.
31 Choices for Christians
What follows are choices every Christian needs to wrestle with at some point. These aren’t the only choices we have as faithful people. Oh my word, there are hundreds more. But these are the juicy ones.
Some are easy. Some aren’t. But all are important.
I invite you to join with me as we go through 31 of the most enduring and relevant questions of our faith.
I won’t give you the answers or exhaust you with “all the information”. I couldn’t.
But I invite you to join me in a process of discernment. Of wrestling with one question at a time. And I invite you to make a choice. A choice for yourself. And then wrestle with what that actually means.
Are you with me? Then let’s get started!
