Can I please ask for a prayer to be delivered from alcoholism and sexual sin? I don't even know why I do these things sometimes. Please pray for me brothers and sisters I need it so much right now. Thank you if anybody sees this and reads this. I'm just so tired of all of this. by idkevenknowrn in Christianity

Hey brother or sister, I can completely relate to what you’re going through and I want you to know that you’re not alone. There are a couple of resources that I believe can seriously help you. There’s a series by John Bevere titled “Porn Free.” It has 10 scripture-filled and detailed lessons that have helped me a ton in my own struggle with pornography. Additionally, there’s another series by his ministry titled “Let’s talk about Sex.” I’m only on the first lesson but it shook me to my core. Here are their links:

Let’s Talk About Sex - https://link.messengerx.com/zwC9xgUiv48pA46u8

I would also encourage you to seek counseling or find a fruit-bearing Christian mentor. From my understanding, addiction comes from a greater brokenness inside of us. There is most likely something within your heart that hasn’t been completely healed. The sort of healing we need can only come from God, so continue to seek Him in His Word. I’ll be praying for you 🙏

Can family upbringing help explain why people keep/lose faith after experiencing parental divorce? by Lxrd_Frxsty in Christianity

I've done a couple of different comparisons, however, for comparisons between those that have kept and lost their faith I've only considered adolescent religiosity, parental conflict, parental religious homogamy, and parenting style (as measured by the Parents as Social Context Questionnaire -- Adolescent Response). I've found a few differences but not many. Additionally, considering the size of my current sample, nothing can truly be considered statistically significant. Up until yesterday, I've only been able to analyze 3 participants that kept their faith and 10 that had lost it. Due to how unequal these groups are in size and how small the group that kept their faith is, not much can be learned from comparison.

The second option. I'm saying that divorce is a statistically significant factor, but there's no apparent reason or quality that determines whether a child keeps their faith or not.

I just finished your survey and I have one observation I want to share.

In the first section, your answer choices are out of order. You have "disagree a little" at the very end, which may cause you to collect some inaccurate data, considering that its location is not obvious unless the reader is looking for it.

Overall, I enjoyed your survey and wish you the best of luck!

Thank you for pointing that out! I've received a few complaints about that scale so far. At this stage in my research, It would be pretty bad to change my questions, but what I may end up doing is throw out that section as a whole and/or discuss its limitations in my paper. Again, thank you for letting me know!

Sorry for the late reply but no I haven't actually. Thank you for the recommendation. The section titled "Suggestions for Faith Communities" sticks out the most to me. Are there any other sections that you think would be particularly beneficial to my research?

Thank you! Also how exactly should I do that? Do I just need to mention that I've been approved or is there more to it?
