What is the good life? What are ethics? What happens after we die?

These questions may not consume our daily thoughts, but whether we acknowledge them or not, we live out their answers. Every decision we make, from the careers we build to the relationships we form, is an answer to these larger, looming questions. Yet, how often do we stop and ask — what’s it all leading to?

We spend years striving for security — education, jobs, financial safety nets. Necessary and good pursuits, no doubt. But in preparing for the 60, maybe 80 years we have, do we ever consider what might come after? Does it not make sense, even on a rational level, to at least glance toward eternity? If we plan meticulously for a few decades, what about the possibility of something that lasts forever?

For some, the idea of eternity or faith seems like wishful thinking, a crutch for those afraid to face the unknown. But what if faith wasn’t built on blind comfort, but on reason, evidence, and sound judgment? What if searching for God isn’t about escaping reality, but confronting it with open eyes? We’re open to exploring the intricacies of physics, the depths of philosophy, or the lessons of history — because it doesn’t simply fall into our laps. Why not apply the same thoughtful pursuit to understanding God, to knowing Christ?

This isn’t about dismissing the practicalities of life or the advances of science. It’s about widening your view. What if the very rationality you pride yourself on points toward something greater? What if the answers to life’s most profound questions aren’t as far off or as unfounded as you might think?

You may have spent your life believing that having faith in God offers only comfort to the weak, but what if it’s built on truth that challenges both the heart and the mind? Maybe it’s time to reconsider — because the biggest question of all deserves more than just a passing glance.
