First and foremost, what a blessing to see someone young being so devoted to God! That's awesome! I think that's a great first step in finding out God's will in your life. I truly think you have to let God work through you and just see what you are passionate about doing. In high school, I think...

Have you considered talking to a counselor about this? I know colleges give free counseling as it's part of the tuition that you pay. I would really say work on figuring out what this depression source is because it's affecting your relationship with God. In my personal opinion, the depression...

The counselor side of me wants to challenge her beliefs of thinking she knows best because if she had all the answers, she wouldn't be in counseling. I would affirm her that she and I are working together for a better quality of life but it has to be up to her and why she doesn't want to allow...

You know, it can be really hard when you feel that all these negative things are hindering you but perhaps God is allowing you to cope with writing and music. I think we all have our own way of coping or talking with God. Some play music and write. I do that from time to time. I say keep doing...

I do not want to be the forum police but please use the appropriate section for that. I believe there is a section where other men in Christ can help you through that. Secondly, there is always a reason for our struggle in that sin. I think finding the root of it is key. Sin is used to fill in a...

It appears that his emotional regulation is incorporating inappropriate content/masturbation and smoking as coping mechanisms. Just a hunch from the counseling perspective. I would definitely see a reason for him to seek outside help and maybe openly discuss why he is doing all these things when he has you to...

Studying school counseling, I too would suggest you talk to a counselor because they will help you sort out all these feelings. I also agree with Paul because I see a lot of what you said in myself. I have a lot of different issues BUT I can see where parts of that is something I experienced...

I am assuming you are still in youth group as you said she has liked other guys in youth group as if you are still there. MY personal belief is that it's RARE for any youth group students to fully understand relationships. I said rare because there are a few exceptions. What is a marker for it...

Who made your future husband? The answer is God and not his parents. ;) For me it is also hard for me to stay patient when I see my fellow brothers getting married or having girlfriends when I have yet to have a girlfriend but I know God's timing is perfect and it will happen through Him. In...

Unfortunately, this is sadly true. We are so quick to judge and so quick to think "hmm, is he/she worth our attention? How will he/she fit in?" when in reality we should be asking "hmm, am I giving them enough attention? How can I make him/her feel comfortable?". The one thing that Christians...

I have a question for everyone. My previous experiences within the church has shown me something that has irked me. I have been involved in a church who's congregation split away from the church to create a "new" church. This is typical behavior for Korean churches. The question arose when a...

Just wondering because yeah...I mean, I don't think I'd be able to find out when/where the party is because she moved to a different town. But my relationship is I view her like anyone else...younger sister that I wanna protect. Just wondering what the best course of action is since I NEVER been...

So I have this interesting situation here. Say a friend is wanting to get drunk and is underage. Now, if she decides to go to a party and get drunk and that's her decision....as a Christian brother, you would try to convince her not to. But if she insists, what would you do? I want to protect...

I've been thinking about this off and on for awhile and it's really bugging me. I am currently in Grad School (first year is almost done) but my dad is 63 and my mom will turn 59 this year. They are still working in their carry out business locally and have been in that line of work for their...

Before people say "why complain?", this is not the reason why I started this topic. Moreso, I was curious to see if some of the issues that we are having in our church is the same as other churches or if other church fought the same issues and is slowly seeing work being done. Of course, above...

Hopefully, we aren't literally putting youth on fire. No need for sacrifices anymore! ;)

Is it everything I thought it to be? No. Is it worth it? Sometimes you wanna say no but the true answer is yes. The joys of seeing a youth student understanding what God has done for them and what His will and calling is...you cannot put a price on that. It's one of the most amazing things to...

Hey guys. I really am new to this side of the forum. I normally hang out in advice and youth ministry whenever I post but I thought this would be interesting for me to gather information about sisters and what they look for in Godly guys. This is open to everyone and I would love to hear some...

His PERFECT timing. For me, it just so happened to be early this year when I found out I got into Graduate School....ON MY BIRTHDAY! Yeah, not sure if there is a better example of perfect timing than that. Just stay firm with Him and He will take care of you. :D

You are in such a huge pickle and all those thoughts can be understandable and I'm sure at one point or another, we have all had those thoughts to a certain degree. I think the best way to start things off would be the Greatest Commandment which is love God with all our heart, soul, mind and...
