No matter where we are in life, whether successful in business, happily married or suffering through a career disappointment, divorce or the death of a loved one, we may find ourselves feeling lost and without direction. How many of us have asked, "Is this all there is?" Ironically, as a society we have more than at any time in our past, yet we still feel there is something missing.

It was with this understanding that explorefaith.org was created. "Explorefaith.org is a safe place where individuals can explore the spiritual side of life in a non-judgemental environment," says Palmer Jones, Web site coordinator. "We are a Christian community, linked through the Internet, that offers a great resource for anyone who is interested in spiritual issues. Our sole reason for being is to help people move along their spiritual journey. We do not care if they are agnostic, Anglican, Baptist or Buddhist. If they are searching then explorefaith.org is there as a resource."
The site features articles and comments (in audio as well as text) from some of the leading religious thinkers in the world. Also available is a bulletin board where visitors can express their own ideas and ask questions.
Explorefaith.org deals with tough, real world issues like sexuality, death and the overwhelming demands of our modern-day culture, while presenting a God of grace and acceptance. In addition, it features articles and discussions about the nature of God, the challenges of faith, and what it means to be in a relationship with God. Explorefaith.org does not offer simple answers. Instead, it serves up a variety of provacative opinions from theologians and everyday people.
This week, Explorefaith.org is introducing a "Thought of the Week," an inspirational message available to all who register with the site. According to Jones, the site is dynamic and always evolving. "We have a wealth of talented people who contribute to explorefaith.org which keeps the material fresh. In addition, we archive everything so visitors can always go back to the material that was most meaningful to them."
