I am a 24 F recently graduated and living at home to save up money for my own apartment. My boyfriend and I dated for a little over 2 years at first and everything was going great, we are both Christians and never really had any problems in our relationship. However, we did break it off for a...

Hello! My name is Valerie. I am a recent graduate working at UCLA in the child anxiety and OCD program. We are looking for parents of 0-5 year olds to help with a survey! Researchers in the Department of Psychiatry at University of California, Los Angeles are conducting a 10-minute survey...

A newly released email indicates Education Secretary Miguel Cardona solicited last September’s letter from the National School Boards Association which compared parents protesting at school board meetings to domestic terrorists. Miguel Cardona asked for school board 'domestic terror' letter

The Miseducation of America's Elite was posted on another thread. I felt the topic would be of interest to many here. Don't be derailed by the title or $40K sticker tag. There's something bigger at work. The miseducation of today's youth. This is a must-read for future parents and Christians as...

I live with unbelievers (trying to be as good as a witness as I can to them) and I found out today when helping look for my mom's lost glasses that my parents hid my purity ring that I had lost, I by chance found it in a case in the living room. They knew how disappointed I was to lose the ring...

So I am 15 and just recently became a believer in July of 2019. I used to be into new age (meditation, yoga, magic) and it was probably one of the most confusing times of my life. Fortunately, Jesus came and saved me from that time of distress. As I am over-joyed with this, I am also grieved by...

Hello Everyone, I'm currently new on here and I'd love some advice. There's sth that's really heavy laying on my heart. Throughout my whole childhood, my father was always verbally and emotionally abusive towards my mother. The abuse continued more as the years went by. Over the past last...

Hello All, Please pray for my pastor's son - and the whole family. His son is having surgery Wednesday. Please pray he will have a quick recovery, and that God will provide financially for his surgery. My pastor and his family have done so much for the church, and I hate to see them facing...

Hi again, I just called my Mom and she's really sick at the moment. Not life-threatening but she has a bad headache and it sounds like she might have the Flu. She has had a very rough year and I'd really appreciate it if she could get prayers for her recovery. Thank you

Just to clarify, I'm not gay or bi. So I've been an atheist for at least 8 months now. Both my parents, and my sister are religious, but none of them know. I'm not looking to convert my family or anything. I don't really care what they believe, but I'm sick of pretending to be something I'm...

Hey all, Bit of a serious topic here. Not sure how I’m supposed to deal with it. The context is that I come from an extremely abusive family. My parents were never happy; they fought each other every chance they got, and our family conversations would be filled with crap like my dad blaming my...

My mom called me and she filled me with anxiety with all these negative conversation topics. And I told her that I didn't want to talk to her about them and she wouldn't stop. And then she kept me on the phone with her which I should have just hung up sooner. I am so mad at myself for not doing...

This thought came to me this morning: What if God's punishment is just an expression of His Grace? Then I thought, hmm is it Grace or Love? Though can Grace go without Love? Anyway here is a practical illustration: If we were to compare a Parent-child relationship with a God-human beings...

This is my first post here. I feel like I have become a disappointment to my family. Growing up I was considered a smart kid. I would always do puzzles and read and that sort of thing. Even won Bible Quizzing in high school. People would always tell me that I should go to school to become an...

I'm going to reveal to my Mum today that I have a horrible habit because I need someone else's help. I know she won't react badly, I'm glad she's so close and understands some of my problems. But I always find it hard to speak. I started yesterday, and then found it so hard she suggested we...

I've been battling terrible sexual urges to...you know...touch and look at inappropriate content. It started after a horrifying incident when I was younger where I stumbled on an immoral image and could never stop thinking about it and soon it became an obsession. I have been slowly pulling away from these...

Hi all, I'm in a very difficult spot. I've been in an inter faith relationship for a few months. Yet we know due to our country's strict laws, we have no future. And yes I've read many times on how I should not take part in a relationship that has no pathway to marriage. However what is done is...

Hello everyone, I come from a dysfunctional family which I have experienced abuse from. My mom has mental issues possibly Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and severe anxiety. She has abused my siblings and I mentally, emotionally, physically, and as for what I think she has only done to...

I mentioned in my previous post that I was struggling with my faith; another major factor is my family. Yes, my family caused my faith to wear down. My mom and dad are stubborn. So stubborn, they are so conservative-like. They don't care about my feelings. They make me unwelcome to not be an...
