James, the brother of Jesus, was passionate about Jesus-followers having a faith that backs up what they say with what they do. We want that kind of faith for our students. That’s why this month at InsideOut we are continuing our summer study of the book of James.

In June, James taught us what it looks like to have a faith that shows up in how we love people, help others, and use our words.

This month, we’re talking about what it looks like to have a faith that trusts God and allows him to focus our heart in one direction. We’ll learn that our faith was never meant to be isolated or hidden and definitely not something we are meant to carry on our own. God wants to walk with us, and he wants us to share our faith journey with others, so no matter what we’re facing, we can take it to God and to people who will point us to God. And when the time comes, we can help point others to God too.
