    Where should I go for advice?

    So... I hope this isn't against any rules. Wondering where I should turn for advice about guilt. Specifically, I hold deep guilt because a friend had an abortion 5 years ago that I believe I could have stopped. I prayed and appealed to the friend and God, but I wasn't bold enough to really...

    What Was Your Experience?

    I suffered severely to try get it back (although it was always the Lord's to give). Why (almost) give up the greatest gift one has ever gotten?

    Today I was listening to a local Christian station and they mentioned that two of the vaccines for covid were made without the help of aborted fetal cells, but one of the vaccines was manufactured with the aid of aborted fetuses. Does anyone know which is which?

    Some questions

    I have recently had unbelievers pose some questions I couldn't answer... What is the purpose of life? Why do bad things happen? There were others I will share after these are addressed. I am a believer, but I have struggled with questions myself and want to articulate answers clearly

    Question about speaking in tongues...

    Is speaking in tongues deliberate? Is it something you do or something the spirit inspires and does? Is it its own language or the ability to speak different languages?

    Best meds for OCD?

    I haven't read all of your posts, but have you tried cutting out certain foods/sugars in your diet? Have you tried certain probiotic strains? I believe lexapro did help some of my intrusive thoughts. I would know that my thoughts were illogical, but I couldn't get rid of them. Also videos from...

    Here to hopefully come back to faith

    I myself have recently struggled with unwanted doubts and a crisis of faith that I am still sometimes grappling with. I felt like I was holding onto the last thread of my faith at one point... like my faith was under attack. It is strengthening every day as I continue to see the good that came...

    Cancel Culture Strikes again

    I know my youth was full of stupid blunders. I feel like that is the time to learn, grow and mature. Now people are branded for life for any mistakes or missteps they take. The judgment on the internet is brutal. I was on a website where I was branded an antisemite and called terrible things...

    What's wrong with Abraham? Ink and Wash

    I think it looks incredible! Great job! The only thing I can see when I look very closely is that his left eye (the right eye when facing him) looks a little different than the original you uploaded, like the pupil looks in a slightly different position. Everything else to me looks amazing! Well...

    How Do People Become Friends?

    I used to feel like this; after pushing myself into uncomfortable situations, I've gotten much better. It took a while, but like anything- for some it just takes practice... making small talk with the people around you at a store, etc. Lining up social things for the week where you can 'practice'.

    Distinguishing your spiritual feelings from reality

    Hello, Wondering those that struggle with mental health, how do you know if what you are feeling is true? Say, if you feel you are under spiritual attack or if you feel the Lord is wanting you to do something, how do you know if it is a spiritual reality or part of dysfunctional mental health?
