Where can you safely ask spiritual questions ?
How can humans with diverse opinions about God discuss their beliefs without serious conflict or arguments? How can you find people who are safe ? You will even have fun in our groups.
The short answer: Guidelines! Gotta Get Back to the Garden Q Place discussions work because everyone receives a Guidelines Card and agrees to the principles that set the tone for the group.
From the outset everyone in the group understands that they are there to wrestle with questions about God, the Bible, and what they believe, and discover answers for themselves. The Guidelines help everyone come into the discussion as equals; no matter where each person starts, everyone has more to learn. The Guidelines and Discussion Tips keep discussions respectful and productive. We are especially looking for college students to host spiritual discussion groups with. These guidelines make it safe to explore God.
Q Place Guidelines have helped create safe places where people can discuss faith-related topics with friends.These guidelines, along with trained facilitators not experts, help make Gotta Get Back to the Garden Q Place gatherings a unique experience for exploring questions about God. We can address questions like Is there a God and if so How can you Know ? We can look at how can so much Evil and Suffering happen in the world if there is a God ? Many people in the hundreds of Q place groups in USA look at the Bible in an inductive study with safe boundaries to explore this book which is number one best seller in the world.
Another place you could go to check out some answers to the questions you have might be to the Billy Graham site. Now you might say if you are a spiritual seeker – are you kidding ? Well no not really. In the spiritual realm there is a reality called anointing. You know how when you listen to certain songwriters some just make your soul or spirit jump up and down. They got something that really resonates with you. Well for all areas of life some people got more oil to grease what they say than others. Billy grew up like any boy with a family and friends and happiness and struggles. Somehow in his life when he went to the football stadiums not to play football but to have spiritual conversations with people…. they got up out of there chairs to meet the God that before that time was thought to be invisible, not existing, strange, ? So why not check out what they have ? It might help you ? http://billygraham.org/ There materials can help you find a place where you can safely ask spiritual questions.
I might also recommend that you ask yourself this question ? Is there anyone I now have in my life or did have in my life who seemed like they had some peace or joy that I want ?
When I was in a season of my life where I lost my $100,000 + job, salary and career – I was really hurting. It was like my bubble was burst. I had the Mercedes, country club and high power job but who was I besides that ? Anyway I went to check out a pain reliever whose name is God. Lets just say that it worked more than I could have thought of or imagined.
