    A vulnerable look at the faith questions we are afraid to admit we have 
     
    · for anyone struggling with depression, doubting God's goodness, or feeling like a misfit at church 
    · permission to ask the hard questions (and the just plain weird ones) 
    · deepen your relationship with God and others 
     
     
    When you've done all the right things, read all the right books, and listened to all the right worship songs, yet still feel like you don't have this faith thing figured out, what do you do? It can be hard to voice the questions and doubts floating around your head and heart to others. But you're not the only one who feels that way! 
     
    For anyone tired of church politics, the unspoken rules of Christian subculture, and taking themselves too seriously, Mark Tabb is your new best friend. He asks the questions you might hesitate to admit having, like 
     
    · Can I call myself a Christian if I don't watch The Chosen? 
    · Is God kind of mean but we're all afraid to say something? 
    · If I believe God is in control, why am I upset about politics? 
    · Why don't I feel it? 
    · What if I'm wrong? 
    · and more 
     
    Not only will he explore the answers to ten specific questions, he'll show you how to get comfortable talking with others about all the weird and uncomfortable questions you have. Because figuring out life together just might be the catalyst we need to renew our faith and our hope for the future.

    The Wasps

    Aristophanes

    In The Wasps, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes delivers a sharp and humorous critique of Athenian society, focusing on the jury system and the older generation’s obsession with power. The play centers on Philocleon ("Cleon-lover"), an elderly man addicted to serving as a juror—and thus indirectly supporting the corrupt politician Cleon—whom his son Bdelycleon tries to reform and keep at home. Much of the comedy arises from the absurd clash between father and son, including a farcical courtroom trial of a dog accused of theft. Through satire, slapstick, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes mocks the judicial system’s susceptibility to abuse, the gullibility of jurors, and the challenges of generational conflict. Combining humor with incisive political criticism, The Wasps remains a brilliant reflection on justice, civic duty, and the folly of blind loyalty.
