There is something radically wrong in our world today. Stereotypes, labels, shallow façades are dictating how we should act, think, and feel. In the churches there is a false expectation of perfectionism, and the perceived inauthenticity has caused many Christians to leave the churches in mass droves. As the young adults flock in exodus away from the church there is an unspoken condemnation that haunts many of them. Though in name they still claim Christianity, their lifestyle and beliefs do not reflect the Christianity taught in within many church buildings. 
Restoring Authenticity looks at this dilemma and asks the difficult questions of why young adults leave and what it means to be authentic in the faith. Ultimately, it is a journey. The journey of healing, of restoration, of returning to person God created. It is a return to authenticity. But even more than that, it is a journey to restoring authenticity within the churches, within the homes and communities, and within ourselves.

Meet Hafsah Amaani, a bubbly and cheerful girl with an overactive spirit that might fit into ten people. She's all smiles at new people and sticks out in a crowd. Clumsiness might not be her best trait but it's one of the reasons why she sticks out in the crowd. SHE IS A DAYDREAMER.. With several ambitions lining one after the other in her head, she has a heart perfect for entertainment and a strong passion for love. AS A HOPELESS ROMANTIC.. Love found her. ... Meet Aysha Imaan, a composed, passionate, strict follower of rules with a strong sense of leadership and commitment.

Who garners respect, helps those in need and vows to use all she has to offer for those who don't. DESPITE SHYING AWAY FROM LOVE AND ALL IT ENTAILS.. She found it a few feet away.
