What is Great Questions Answered?
Long story short, emerging out of our 2019 Great Questions sermon series, where we received way more questions than time for answers, I endeavored to take up a long-held desire to begin compiling a trustworthy catalog of written answers that are biblically and theologically rooted, practically helpful, and instructive for Christian worldview development.

Why Great Questions Answered?
In a greedy, impatient, and algorithmically-controlled world motivated by abuse of money, sex, and power, the rise of militantly secular ideologies and the weaponization of identity politics means we must fight against intellectual laziness and reclaim a Christ-centered discipline of the mind.

The gospel isn’t good advice for how to live to please God and save your soul but the good news of what God has already done in Christ to satisfy God’s holy standard and give you a place in His forever family—for all who believe are “no longer condemned” (Romans 8:1) and become “sons and daughters” (Galatians 4:5)!...
