In 2019, Pastor Nick asked the Internet to respond to the prompt “I Could Never Believe in a God Who…”. The responses, along with other research, highlighted nine common themes – topics which people say make it hard for them to embrace Christianity. What began as a nine-week series of messages addressing these barriers, quickly became the most popular, most requested series on Nick's podcasts, church website, radio program, and even on USB drives in their bookstore. This book is the culmination of those requests, research, and feedback – adapted as a resource to help you, your friends and family through some of the most difficult questions about God and the Bible.
We all struggle. Even those who already believe struggle and question things about God, Christianity, and the Bible. Wherever you find yourself, this book aims to help you move from doubt, questions, and unbelief to a strengthened faith and belief in the true God of the Bible. Further, this book is a resource to help equip you, so that as you talk with your friends and family members who struggle with some of these questions, you’ll be prepared to help them overcome some of these hurdles and, ultimately, put their faith in Jesus!
