Jim takes us through the book of Amos and the challenge of thinking how our faith is demonstrated by how we act.
Where do we turn when things get tough? Shouldn’t the Christian life be easier?

We can do the right thing and still face an uncomfortable question: are we doing it because God called us, or because we want people to notice?
