We’ve been texting for a few days and I’m honestly pretty interested. She’s VERY passionate and devoted to the faith, like she’s truly truly fears the Lord. I’m extremely physically attracted to her as-well, so that’s not the issue. Here’s the possible issue, she’s 27. I am 23.…

I just wanted to say this because for the past two and a half weeks or so, I have completely fallen in love with the Lord—not romantically, obviously. Just deep, spiritual, profound love. Jesus has been working through me very quickly in a short amount of time and it kind of fee…

Do you think Trump has an heir apparent, or is it one of those things where no one in Washington dares talk about it for fear of reminding Trump of his mortality/term limits? I know the obvious answer is Vance, but Vance does not wield the same kind of fear and influence that Tr…

I was raised Southern Baptist in the US, and as a child really enjoyed theological study, and when I was 10 or so I asked to start the journey towards baptism, which was eventually performed by my uncle (Baptist preacher and missionary) but as I hit my teenage years, my love for…

I have never posted to reddit before but I felt a calling to now and maybe that fits into everything that has been happening but... I surrendered myself to God for the first time in my life today. To preface, my life has been a roller coaster of abuse, addiction, depression, sel…

I already listen to Ligioner’s Renewing Your Mind on my commute to work everyday, so I was wondering if there were any good podcasts I could listen to while I work my desk job or when I just am doing work around the house. Preferably, I’ve wanted to learn more about Church histo…

For context, I was baptised as a baby, did all of the initiation sacraments, but I was never actually a believer. I had no relationship with God. I'm a person that struggles mostly by myself. As I'm getting older: I vent less and less with others, I cry by myself (99% of the tim…

My ex-boyfriend identifies as a Messianic Jew. He believes that Old Testament dietary laws are still binding, so he doesn’t eat pork and believes that eating it is disobeying God. The biggest issue wasn’t that he chose not to eat pork himself. It was that he wanted to teach our…

I lost my job and the economy where I live is terrible. Can't find work. My relationship ended too. For years I was the one providing for my family. Now that's all gone and I'm the one who needs help. I hate it. I know about Job. People keep telling me to "just have faith like J…

I fully believe that as believers, we Should be baptized as a showing and acknowledgement of Christ’s work in our lives. However, I have seen so much discourse in the last few days of believers arguing that the act of baptism is what regenerates you and saves you, rather than re…

I've been trying to warn and to tell people from my family what they're doing wrong (not in a egoistic way, or angry way) but they just don't understand and it just frustrates me so much!!! They curse and swear, they gossip and judge. Especially my mother. And it makes me so ang…

Usually I think confession is for saying ones sins. But recently noticed I have problems with certain patterns that are cringing me out to even mention it to my priest, but they have serious consequences. For example how me not having a gf for some time now is making me tempted…

I cannot properly convey how thoroughly vile my conduct has been in recent days. Sin has been abusing my livelihood and I’ve done nothing but wallow in it. I am grieved; it feels impossible to wrap my mind around my poor decisions. God has supplied me with my immediate needs, He…

Please pray for God to give me confirmation with an important decision and help me with my paranoia and anxiety. Please also pray for me to find favor. And for God to bless me as well.
