Have you ever felt misunderstood and misrepresented? Are there ever times when you’ve tried to do the right thing and you’ve been misinterpreted? There are times when it seems like the more you try to do what’s right, people object.

Does life have a purpose? What is the value of human life in the eyes of God? If I struggle with an addiction and my life is messed up, does God still care about me?
