North American Christian Convention, Kansas City, MO
The word of God (the seed) is for everyone. But the seed often bears no fruit because the soil is inadequately prepared (Mt. 13; Mk. 4; Lk. 8).
Part 1 of this session (by Rich Knopp) offers a general description of the Room For Doubt program and some reasons why it is relevant and potentially valuable for churches and other Christian groups. Part 2 (by Garry Poole) discusses how to create and use small groups to invite and encourage Christians and non-Christians to talk openly and honestly about spiritual questions.
