About this episode

Dr. Gregg Mays discusses why people leave the faith and how to handle faith challenges.

This week Dr. Gregg Mays helps us answer the question of why people leave the faith and turn their back on God. Many people find themselves in a faith crisis. They wonder if what they believe is true. Religious doubt does not catch God by surprise. Learning to better handle faith challenges is how we grow into a right relationship with God.
