Episode 244: Christianity 101, Part Two--What Is Faith?

In this new series about the Big Ideas and Central Questions of Christian faith, pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve gather around the conversation table to look at what we mean by "faith."  Everybody seems to agree that "faith" is a good thing, and that it is important, but what exactly are we talking about? Are "faith" and "fear" opposites, as sometimes gets said by some in the COVID era, making it sound like taking precautions for your neighbors is somehow opposed to believing in God?  Are "faith" and "doubt" opposites?  What about "faith" and "reason" or "science"?  And are we supposed to focus more on OUR work in believing and trusting, or on God's faithfulness and trustworthiness that grasps us in love before we've done a thing?  These are the kinds of questions we'll explore in this episode of Crazy Faith Talk--so pull up a chair, and join us for the conversation!
