Faith 101
The best place to start is with your questions.
There is no such thing as a stupid question.
Do not be content with easy answers.
When it comes to God, it's often more about mystery than certainties. Be willing to live with your questions, but don't stop seeking.
God has placed that longing within you. God is waiting to be found.
