Lincoln Christian University (LCU) through the James

part of a comprehensive three-year project funded
through a generous grant from the Loftis Foundation.

Room for Doubt is a safe, non-judgmental space for
you to investigate big questions like: Where did I come
from? Why am I here? What is life all about?
In the coming months Room for Doubt will develop
curriculum and small group materials that will
complement the website. Mark Mittelberg, international
speaker and best-selling author of The Questions
Christians Hope No One Will Ask (with answers) and
&RQƃGHQW)DLWK (Tyndale House, 2013), will be working
with a group of America’s leading pastors to make this
material available nationwide.
