Ongoing themes will include:

  • Biblical authority
  • Metaphor and how it shapes us
  • The Jesus/Christ dichotomy
  • What does faith look like in the 21st Century?

    The 20-30 minute videos for each session will include conversation, sermon clips, comedy/satire, lecture excerpts, and spiritual exercises for practical applications (including different forms of prayer and meditation, movement, walking the labyrinth, etc). Since the overall theme is that of faith as a journey, not a destination, the livingthequestions.com web site will offer resources for continued exploration, including downloadable expanded study guides, extra video resources, and links.
