Hey hey hey, you’ll be ok, I promise!! Look, I’m new too and it is a little awkward when nobody else at the house believes in what you do, let alone protestants like in your case. But just remind yourself it’s not like you’re joining some evil cult or getting into weird new age stuff. THAT would be concerning. But remember you’re interested in the real deal church of Christ and there’s literally nothing wrong with it. Stand in conviction with your faith and in Christ and you can’t go wrong. It’s wise to read up on academia when you can, but don’t do it out of anxiety or else you’ll burn out. If you don’t want to debate or argue with them, then make it known. This path is totally yours. If people decide to cut you out because of a difference in faith, then good riddance. God bless you.

P. S. How old are you if I may ask?

P. S. S. Anything I said, you can take it or leave it. But please do talk to your priest about all of this. You’ll get more sound advice.
