Is Christianity on the rise or in decline? 📈📉 The data tells a complex story. While some reports show a decline in traditional religious affiliation, others point to a powerful surge in online faith communities and genuine spiritual hunger. But what do YOU see? Is genuine faith trending up or down in your community and…

I’m 19 and just recently got saved 3 1/2 months ago as a Christian coming from a life of addiction and just a rough personal life.. I’ve done a lot of self reflection and cleansing in my life like getting rid of bad influences, and certain things on social media. I realize that i need…

I think I’m a pathological liar and I’m afraid. I used to lie about little things and now it’s turning into bigger lies. I have confessed it to the Lord but I after I confess I catch myself lying again or exaggerating. I am looking for advice because I’m really worried. submitted by /u/Agile-Campaign9996 [link]…

I just saw the headline on Reddit and here’s a better source https://apnews.com/article/food-aid-government-shutdown-snap-trump-democrats-8a52a63b26a707ea676962226b090bb1 The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1, raising the stakes for families nationwide as the government shutdown drags on. So my question is, are American churches—is your…

Like if I were born into Saudi Arabia, I would be Muslim and see Christianity as in error. Or the same with India and Hinduism, Thailand and Buddhism, ect. Or are we as Christians supposed to believe that no matter what society we were born into, we would eventually become Christian? submitted by /u/VerdantChief [link]…

Anyone have any advice on having doubts? I’m a Christian and will be fairly logical most of the time but sometimes I’ll read other religions like Qu’ran quotes online about how unbelievers will wish that they had submitted on the day of the judgement and it really really scares me. I just sort of get…

Jesus seemed pretty clear that he was all about the poor, the sick, the broken, the forgotten, the outcast. Why then is it so easy for so many Christians to side with worldly power even when it’s abundantly obvious the harm those powers are inflicting on the very groups that Jesus most closely identified with?…

I’ve never heard an actual defense for this verse but I am interested in learning and I’m open to any input anyone may have towards this command for genocide,how would a Christian reconcile this with the idea of a just god? submitted by /u/Emergency_Chip411 [link] [comments]

So I’m currently in a relationship with a guy I go to church with. He’s 17 and I’m 18 and we aren’t technically dating because his parents are a tad overbearing. I told him I liked him about 5 months ago now, and he told me he loved me about 4 days after that. We…

Hey everyone! I’m a believer and also taking an anthropology class, and I’m doing a short assignment about how people experience worship in their own communities. I’d love to hear your thoughts. When you’re singing or participating in worship, what does that mean to you on a personal level? How would you explain that feeling…

I love the Babylon Bee which often has a Christian spin on jokes and the comments had one of my favorite Christian jokes. “How many Presbyterians does it take to change a light bulb?” “CHANGE?!?!?!” As a Presbyterian, this made me chuckle. submitted by /u/Joker1Zero [link] [comments]

I am currently fasting, going the whole day without food then in the last 4 hours have one small meal. My goal was three days and I’m looking for hep and guidance in my relationship. I’m so lost and confused and really need him to tell me what to do, it’s the third day and…

I feel so much guilt & shame over this but I don’t know what to do or who to talk to about this. My husband was raised a Christian and I was not. My parents changed religions frequently and it gave me a really rocky foundation spiritually. I thought I was saved back in 2015…

Growing up, I always pictured Eve holding an apple — that’s what every children’s Bible, painting, and sermon seemed to show. But recently, while studying Genesis more deeply, I realized the Bible never actually mentions an apple at all. It just says “the fruit.” I know that might sound like a small detail, but it…

I would like to say primarily that this subreddit is neither a good place for new Christians nor a safe place. It is not made apparent, but this subreddit is welcome for all users of all faiths. I’m not opposed to the idea. But I see a lot of people who seek advice or help…

I complained that two local food banks (Christian churches) gave me expired food and I got sick. I was accused of being too lazy to work and buy my own food. And I was accused of being a “choosy beggar”. Basically, the city overwhelming thinks that poor people are not worthy of the dignity of…

First of all, I’m a catholic (27M) and I’ve been a believer most of my life, despite some faith crisis. But, for the most part, I’m very cynical about heterosexual love due to some bad experiences with women (including my parents divorcing because of my mom’s choice). I self-identify as a bisexual, and I’ve only…

I prayed to God and asked him to help direct me on a path that helps my relationship with him to be stronger than ever. I feel I have disconnected over the years. I really want to find a Christian community and a church. Well a few weeks after praying for this a lady approached…

To give some context, I personally think as a Christian that smoking weed is indeed a sin to an extent. However, my husband has been smoking since he was 16 years old. Even after we have came to Jesus and have pretty close relationships with Him, he still smokes. He has told me that he…
