Faking It (GIG)
Our non-Christian friends don’t need us to have all the answers, but they do need us to be real with them. This 4-week God-Investigation Group (GIG) series allows us to explore Jesus and be more real about our needs with one another.
An invitation to be real
We are all prone to “faking” something – pretending we’re happy when we’re not, pretending we know more than we do; we fake emotions and we fake behaviors. Especially when we’re literally wearing masks all day.
But God calls us to be real with him and with other people. “Faking It” is a 4-week GIG (God-Investigation Group) series to help you start the year inspired by a vision for authentic community, empowered to be real with non-Christian friends, and an opportunity for all to respond to Jesus in new faith.
What's inside?
Each week includes compelling illustrations, background information on the passages, guided discussion questions, and Scripture study pages.
