The QAF Sessions
(pronounced "quaff")
at the Front Porch, 310 South Avenue

Thursdays at 7:30 pm
Questioning the Pat Answers of Christianity

Merge

The QAF Sessions is a Thursday night Discussion Group, led by John Bocchieri, that meets to question the pat answers of Christianity.

We believe that there is no truth that is "out of the question" so to speak. For the entire duration of the Modern Era, the Church-at-larege has placed certain "truths" out of the reach of deconstruction, doubt and inquiry. And the result has forked history into two paths: 1) the unthinking believer, and 2) the unbelieving thinker. In order to have a Kingdom full of thinking believers, we need to drag everything out on the table.

The FAQ (the answering of Frequently Asked Questions) is a good, harmless example of Modernistic thinking. It's like Radio Shack... you've got questions, we've got answers. When you need the perfect pair of walkie-talkies, that's great. But when you're struggling through a spiritual journey, the "pat answer" bit gets old pretty fast.

So let's turn FAQ on its head... so now it's QAF. Which could stand for "Questioning Answers of Faith" if you want. Do you know what's even better? The word "Quaff" means "to drink deeply".

So when you come to the QAF Sessions, you can question your own pre-suppositions, question the culture, question the establishment... shoot, you can even question the Church, the Bible and God. I can tell you God's not afraid of it. But in the course of questioning, let's realize that there are some real answers out there, and as we drink deeply of God and his revealed truth, he'll give us just enough light for the step we're on.
