I’m Glad You Asked That: Help Needed

We’d love you to help us with a new resource we’re developing…

What it is

You’re standing at the bar… or at the school gate… or in the staff room… and someone asks you a question about your faith.

• “All this suffering: how can you believe in God?”
• “Surely you don’t think there’s only one way to heaven?”
• “Don’t you have to go to church if you’re a Christian?”

There are different ways of answering those questions. You can give a logical argument, or quote a passage of scripture that points to an answer. But what most often sticks in people's minds is a turn of phrase, or a story or illustration that gets to the heart of an answer to the question.

I'm Glad You Asked That is a resource we're trying to develop giving short answers to the 11 most commonly-asked questions we face.

We’ll give simple answers, and with a couple of key points, together with a bible passage you could go to: but we also love to include some stories or illustrations which help people to remember and explain gospel truths.

How you can help

So, a couple of times a week on the blog, we’re going to put a question up. And we just need you to tell us of an:

• illustration
• story; or
• "sound bite"

that you’ve heard used, which you’ve found helpful.

Question One

So here’s the first question:

“Hasn’t science disproved Christianity?”

Each and every comment below is gratefully received, and if what you scribble down gets used, or prompts an idea that gets used, there will be 10 free copies winging their way to you once I’m Glad You Asked That is published.

Thanks in advance for your help on this one!
