    How do I make my wife feel loved when I don’t love her anymore?

    Most everyone gets married with idealized expectations of what marriage should look like. When we are dating - we project the best image of ourselves. Then we get married and things seem great - because every experience is new and we overlook imperfections/differences in our spouse. After...

    What Was Your Experience?

    Remember that Christ said this: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11. Christianity should not be a burden - it should be a way...

    What Was Your Experience?

    I understand wanting to walk away from faith. At 16, I walked away from a ritualistic faith - the faith I practiced did not mean much to me at all. So for 3 years I wandered aimlessly through life - thinking life was about partying and having a good time. Then I was asked by a Christian...

    Encouraging/Comforting Unbelievers?

    Great question! You can ask them questions like "What do you put your Hope in?", "How do you find your purpose in life?", "Do you know you are valued?", "Do you want to know where I go when I need encouragement?". Listen to them. Let them take the conversation wherever they want. Pray that...

    What do I do when I won't trust God anymore, and his plan is to hurt me more?

    Sorry to hear the trials you are going through. Do you have a church support group? I would check around for a Celebrate Recovery group or the like. It really helps to have people who also have tough situations to keep you encouraged. I know a person who had cancer. She memorized Isaiah 41...

    Completely lost on where to go in my life

    You could use your math skills as a ministry - reaching out to kids/adults who need help with math. Alongside teaching them math - you could introduce them to the Gospel and teach them important life lessons. Perhaps you could talk to a career counselor at a Christian seminary. They could show...

    A struggling crippled Christian

    I would not worry about being single in heaven. God will provide for our needs. After all He is the one who said "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Our lives in Heaven will be so filled with Joy - the Bible says we cannot comprehend it. “No eye has...

    Did your dad have a bad experience with other Christians or church teaching? Did something bad happen to him or someone he loves? Did someone fill him with doubts about the faith? Any of those could be reasons why he walked away from church/faith. People tend to gravitate to the people that...

    I feel like God isn't faithful

    You are in good company Robert. Rick Warren says he gets pinged often by people who wonder what Gods will is for their life. In one email Rick talked about where we should serve God. He said to follow the passion(s) that God puts in your heart - that is where you should direct your ministry...

    hello. i am 49 year old man. i always loved God my whole life in spite of having little blessings.

    I do agree that in America - not having enough money makes a person feel like they missed the boat. Especially when there are lots of well off people around us. I feel like that when I am between jobs. The question is - does money really buy happiness? Does it bring joy? I always think back...

    Crisis of faith.

    Hi Travis. I too have times of spiritual dryness as a follower of Christ. Our daily lives can be a grind - our secular world can drain us of what is important - our Faith in Jesus. When I need a spiritual renewal I like to read about people in the Bible that have faced the same struggle as me...

    Hi I'm New Here

    Hi. You are wise to let others know about your struggles. That way you can get advice and have people praying for you. We are all weak. We all need to confess and seek God's forgiveness. When I fail and sin - I remind myself that God put me on earth for a purpose. When I go after that...
