Over and over, we hear claims that God cannot be real because surely a good God would intervene and stop people from suffering, sicknesses and all the evil that hurts people around the world.

In this lab you will learn:

• Isn’t all the evil that happens on the earth proof that God doesn’t exist?

• How can Christians believe in a God and say He is good, when He allows evil and suffering?

• How do I make sense and deal with the pain and suffering I experience as a believer in Jesus?

There are Bible verses which seem to indicate women are inferior, they should submit to men and have no place in leadership.

In this lab you will learn:

• Why do we hear of so much inequality and even abuse of women in churches today?

• How do we make sense of actual Bible verses such as ones that say “Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission…”, “it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church” (1 Corinthians 14:34-35).

Across social media and culture, we are seeing a growing wave of new spiritual ideas gaining popularity—everything from neopagan practices (wicca, magic & rituals) and nature-based spirituality to fascination with aliens and other alternative beliefs about the universe and meaning.

In this lab you will learn:

• What are some of the most common emerging spiritual trends shaping belief today?

• Why are ideas like witchcraft, “spiritual energy” and extraterrestrial explanations resonating with so many people?

• How can Christians thoughtfully engage these spiritual claims with truth, clarity, and wisdom in a TikTok-shaped world?

In this lab you will learn:

• It is claimed that Jesus didn’t mention homosexuality, so why does the church make such a big deal of it? How do we respond to this claim?

• The Bible didn’t even include the word homosexual until 1946, showing we have been misunderstanding it – is this true?

• Have we misunderstood what the Bible says as we hear new interpretations? How do we respond to the new teachings saying the historical view is incorrect?

• If we have same sex attractions, what do we do?

• How do we talk to people we love and care for who have same-sex attraction?

More and more churches seem like businesses rather than a safe place to grow in faith and experience healthy community. We hear story after story of 'church hurt' which can divide and create disunity - driving people out and away from the church. 

In this lab you will learn:

• What is “church” and do we need it?

• Can we just love Jesus and not the church?

• Why does unity within the church help us work through church hurt?
