    Spiritual Warfare in Evangelism

    Hopefully I am posting this in the right place. Forgive me if I'm not. I've been thinking about my attempts of evangelism over the years and while I've never once been successful at leading someone to saving faith, I've noticed a similar theme. Every time I have convinced someone to come to...

    How Long Should I Allow an Unbelieve to Stay with Me?

    Hello all, Recently, a former coworker of mine broke up with his girlfriend of 6 years that he was living with. He's an unbeliever, but he's been receptive/interested in the gospel as long as I've known him. He has not accepted Christ yet as he said he doesn't want to give up his vices, he's...

    Is it wise for a founding pastor to leave a young church?

    There's a church in my area that I attended for a couple of years early in my faith. I left not over sin issues or arguments, but needing to make things right and needing accountability. I know several people who attend there still, and just recently, the founding pastor at the church, the lead...

    Does everything have to be the gospel?

    Hello all, Recently as I've learned more theological concepts and ways of thought, I've come to the realization that my church embraces a biblical theology that prioritizes the gospel above all else. Now that's obviously not a bad thing, but what I mean is that everything stems around Jesus...

    What do you think is a good timeline for someone trying to get into ministry?

    Hello all, I was wondering what people think is a good/biblical timeline for someone going from considering the call to ministry and going into ministry/starting seminary. I've been at churches that do it differently. One smaller church of about 100 people that I used to be at would put someone...

    Am I in the wrong for saying "no"?

    Hello everyone, My wife and I are part of a church, and we're very active in serving. Last year we occasionally served in the nursery on Sundays, and I was often scheduled to clean the church on a Saturday before church. On top of that, I shoveled all the paths and was backup to lockup the...

    Church Planting Issues

    Hello all! Sorry for the long post, you can keep scrolling if it's too much. I'm writing today to ask for advice on how I should go about planting a church. Just to give some backstory, I have been feeling the call to ministry for several years now, and only recently felt confident in it...

    Bitterness toward Pastor over Bible Study/Discipleship

    Hello, Over the past few months, really more like 8 months now I have had a growing bitterness toward one of pastors. There is two reasons for this. First is the community group he leads, the second is over a discipleship/accountability group he used to lead that had me in it. The community...

    Crazy Friend with Crazy Theology

    Yo, This is sort of a follow up to another post I made last year where I asked advice about a friend in my church who decided one day to start a "word fast" and not speak for about a month. Basically he is someone that I knew from high school who I invited to church and he was very interested...

    What is Biblical Submission in Marriage and in General?

    I have been talking to some men at my church about what the meaning of submission is in the bible. It can sound intimidating and almost sexist to just flat out say that a wife has to listen to whatever her husband says and he has the final say, like it is some slave master relationship. I...

    In love but not in a place to take it further

    Me and my girlfriend have been courting for almost 6 months now. We are very very in love and we know for certain that we want to marry each other. The problem is neither of us are in a place where we can get married. Were both just finishing our Junior year of college and we want to wait until...

    My Friend Will not Speak

    Heyo, So my friend got saved about 5 and a half months ago. He was big into drugs and seeking high after high in life and I invited him to church. The pastor and him got connected and he got saved and baptized about a month later. About a month ago he decided he was going to do a "word fast"...

    Mutually In Love

    I hope this is the best place to post this. I did not see a relationships category or something like it in the forums, so I figured this was the best. I was texting this girl from my church that I had not known overly well a little while back and at one point in the conversation it came out to...

    Feeling like I am not actually saved

    I don't really know how to explain it. But I have had this feeling for awhile now where I just don't feel saved. Like my heart deep down does not truly worship and love God. I don't get emotional when I open up to God in prayer, im not really moved that often by the word. And it feels completely...

    Pray for my confidence in my faith

    Recently I have felt as if I am not making progress in terms of faith. I still struggle with lust, anger, judgmentalism, and lack of humility. God has been showing me these sins in my life but it feels like I am not going anywhere. I pray and seek but I still act the same. If I could get prayer...

    Leaving Church, Looking for Input Outside of People I Know

    Hey, I am posting on here because recent events at my church have led me to decide on leaving and finding a new church family. It is something very controversial to me that I would like input on. I guess I will just give you the whole story. I have been at the church I am currently at for my...
