• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello, everyone! I'm Katie. I live in California, and I've been a Christian on and off throughout my life. I fervently love my Savior and can't do anything without Him. I work as an administrative assistant at a small, local church. My background is in social work and crisis intervention. I love the Christian mystical tradition and I love to embody prayer into my self-care. I believe God is wholly loving, merciful, and good. I like to have gentle discussions with people who need a listening ear. I'm always hear if you are struggling in your faith (or just need someone to talk to in general). I love much because I've been loved much. In my free time I like to read, study Japanese, exercise, spend time with my parents, and talk to friends. Let's chat .
