A question can now be answered before we’ve had time to think about it. With instant information at our fingertips, are we at risk of settling for shallow understanding?
SOPHOS exists to equip Christians to engage the world around them; to question, reason and dig beneath the surface in pursuit of truth.
Because we were made for more than answers.
We were made to think.
