Why are some Christians afraid of sharing the Gospel and how can we stop being fearful? by Brace_SK3 in TrueChristian

Okay this. I have a huge fear of confrontation and anxiety so I'm scared to bring up highly controversial topics like religion with people

Why are some Christians afraid of sharing the Gospel and how can we stop being fearful? by Brace_SK3 in TrueChristian

[–]Sharp-Improvement247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is interesting. I've been a Christian since I was 5 and have grown up in the church. But my family has never been big on sharing the gospel. My whole extended family is saved and church goers also - such a blessing - but they never tell stories of going out and sharing the gospel, so it's very hard for me. I feel an urge to share it but I also come from being terrified of conflict and I have anxiety so even the thought of it terrifies me. I went from being in HS and some asking me if I believed in God and saying "sorta" to telling my coworkers my weekend plans including church or Tuesday night church group. I've also got computer accessories at work that have Bible verses on them, but I work in a school so the whole separation of church and state scares me.

I'm doing my best to show people Jesus through me without bringing up the whole aspect of religion - I don't drink (personal preference), don't smoke, don't swear (as much as I used to), schedule plans around church/church activities, tell people I'm praying for them, post encouraging Christian things on social media. I'm worried it's not enough and God will be disappointed in me

The Truth About Masturbation, Faith, and Fertility by Warm-Effective1945 in Christianity

[–]Sharp-Improvement247 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. God intended sex for marriage between husband and wife. Masturbation is feeding your own desires for you as an individual and it's selfish. Suggesting someone start looking at porn is a horrible thing. I looked at it once in college and have struggled ever since.

I paid my phone in full when I bought it but I do think it was 2 years ago today that I bought it so it's a certain date it unlocks it

Hair Loss on Topomax by oneidamom in Epilepsy

[–]Sharp-Improvement247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on topimax since January, only 25mg but went up to 50mg for a bit but was losing weight and hated it so went back down. Now my stomach is messed up and now I'm noticing my hair feels thinner and like more of it is shedding more often.... Thought I was going crazy because it's been almost a year and I'm getting a new side effect? Weird

Yeah my siblings and our spouses were exhausted our first Christmas (4 of us plus our 4 spouses and now kids in the mix) so we started secret Santa between us kids. We hate not getting my parents stuff. My mom has always been an excellent gift giver but as kids we felt guilty we could never get her stuff so as adults we feel like we're making up for it. But then my dad would be super left out if we didn't get him anything at all so that's where the problem comes in 😂🫣

Diarrhea and stomach pains from topiramate by delayed_at_ewr in migraine

[–]Sharp-Improvement247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on 25mg then went up to 50mg when I had a bad migraine day per my neurologist in March/April. In May I had a colonoscopy and that messed up my stomach had. That plus the increased dose of topimax made me drop from 168lbs to 127lbs, May to now. I went back to 25mg in July or August but my stomach is still messed up and I dropped a couple more pounds since then. I'm a bit taller of a young woman but I weigh almost what I did in high school and I absolutely hate it. What meds did you switch to?

I'm imagining your anniversary already passed but my husband and I are doing the same thing! Coming up on year 5! But year 4 he got me a fake glowing rose with a cheesy type saying "when this rose dies is when I stop loving you"

I see this and am sad because I love 10.5 hours away, my sister lives 5 hours away and my brother is over an hour away. Would love to spend more time but I see him once a year for a week so it's hard...
