We live in a world that constantly pushes us to choose sides and reduce life into simple either/or answers. But following Jesus is rarely that simple. Oftentimes, God invites us to live in the tension between two truths that may even seem to conflict. In this series, we’re going to explore some areas of our faith where it may feel like there’s tension and gain a deeper understanding of God’s plan for our lives.
