Where I'm honest with you

This is practical teaching, not proof. It's drawn from Scripture and from walking this road myself. If you're still weighing the basics — whether God is real, whether the Bible can be trusted — I'd encourage you to start with the Skeptic resources in the Research Hub before diving in here.
