In this dynamic and relatable one-off message, "Faith in a Skeptical World," students are challenged to reflect on the nature of faith in today's culture; a world filled with skepticism, doubt, and the constant questioning of truth. By sharing personal stories, like skydiving and trusting unseen forces like autopilot or Wi-Fi, this talk explores how everyday moments of trust can be compared to the deeper challenge of putting faith in Jesus.
This message will inspire students to reconsider what it means to have faith in today’s world, helping them realize that trusting God is not just for the things they can see, but for the unseen work He is doing in their lives every day.
