Faith

Elevating Faith

Objective

Faith is a matter of the heart, mind, and action. In this training, we explore the transformative journeys of Mary, John, and Thomas after encountering the risen Christ. Through their stories, we uncover three dynamic pathways to conquer doubt: a heart-to-heart encounter with Jesus (revelation), a mind renewed by truth (investigation), and a will committed to action (participation). It's an invitation to move into a vibrant, life-changing faith.
