Failing Faith
In America, we often associate spiritual blessing with physical happiness. When life becomes difficult—through loss, divorce, depression, or grief—it can often make Christians either feel like their faith is a fraud, or lead them to believe that God is the One who is a fraud. This four-week series, based on the book by Wade Bearden, will empower individuals to cultivate a faith that will withstand the inevitable troubles of life.

Using This Series Guide
The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.
Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.
This series includes 4 weeks of content.
The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.
It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.
We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.
Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
