Faith, Doubt, and Purpose: NUA Series Official Trailer

A series exploring the big questions of faith in a fresh and contemporary way.

About This Series

NUA — A Fresh Perspective on Faith is a 27-episode cinematic series created by Scripture Union Ireland that takes an honest, contemporary look at faith. Filmed across Ireland, Israel, and the USA, NUA tackles the real questions that prevent people from engaging with Christianity: the reliability of the Bible, the problem of suffering, the relationship between faith and science, and what following Jesus actually looks like today. Used in hundreds of schools and universities across Ireland and beyond, NUA has proven itself as one of the most effective tools for opening genuine faith conversations with young adults and critical thinkers. Challenging, honest, and beautifully made.
