THE WHY

Once upon a time, being a Christian in America was comfortable. Not anymore. A skeptical world is asking reasonable questions, but many (most?) Christians are completely unprepared to answer. We want to help.

The Goal

We want Christians who can face the world with clarity, confidence, and courage. WWYS provides compelling, repeatable answers to questions about faith and culture that show the gospel is both true and good.
