Has anyone been having a hard time meeting other Christians? I really miss having a solid group of friends and ever since I became born again I slowly stopped talking to my secular friends. It seems hard now to meet people that are serious about Jesus. Any tips?

Hello @Kashina, how about joining a church? Or a local Bible Study? Or helping out at some kind of parachurch ministry? You know, wherever other believers can be found regularly.

Hey, I just noticed that you are brand new here, so I'd also like to say, WELCOME TO CF :wave:

Praying that the Lord will lead you to a new group or two of believers where you will be able to find regular Christian fellowship :)

God bless you! (Isaiah 40:31)

--David
p.s. - for the time being, at least you have us here at CF as online Christian friends :oldthumbsup:

1 Thessalonians 5
23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body
be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I have a church, but at the moment we are changing buildings so things are a little stalled and it is just a couple of us. Maybe 1 other person is my age so it's been hard. I'll definitely look to see whats going on in my city. Thank you!

Ask the Lord to lead you to people that you can be friends with. And you've always got Lord Jesus to be your friend. He's available 24/7.

Hello again @Kashina, if you lived near our church (sadly, you do not), we have a late teen/early - mid 20's group (it's mostly made up of college kids) that meets at our church (but includes college-aged kids from others churches too). Maybe there's a church near you that has something like that?

Our group does some serious Bible Study together, but they also seem to have a LOT of fun too :D

Blessings to you in Christ,
David

There is an app called meetup where you can join groups of like minded people and it has Christian groups. It sounds weird but I tried it and met all sorts of super cool people and go to events occasionally.

church is a solid place to meet Christian friends too. Also you can usually go to events from churches that you might not even attend :)

Good luck on your search, remember what you have up in those friendships that were tearing you down, God will replace with something and some people to build you up! The word says it!!!!
in CHRIST,
J
