How to reach family who profess but persecute me for Christian faith

Q: I recently moved back in with my family after being away for over a year. My family are not necessarily believers. The past few years I've been putting a lot of effort into studying the Word and following Jesus.  Being here for a few weeks now, I noticed how estranged everyone feels. I've been going and on this journey with Christ without them. And Ive managed to find so much and [I'm bursting] wanting to share it with them... but you know how non-believers or anybody who isn't saved doesn't like when ppl use the Bible to help them. The craziest thing actually but whatever. It feels like the more I live in truth (and don't let their passive aggressive moods or whatever personal problems bring me down), the more it'll have a reverse effect and actually cause them to persecute me. I imagine it running through their head as " hmm why is he so chipper? " And rather than pickup what I share or just being Christian, they'll be offended and actuall...

Pray for fc husband sv, but nothing happens

Q: How do you pray for the unbelievers in your life?  Especially when they are so close to you. I am asking because my husband is not a believer and when we first met he said he was but fast forward 6 years later he says he did not want to push me away so he lied about it when we met.

When witnessing to family using WOTM goes wrong...

When witnessing to family using WOTM goes wrong. Q: Recently my husband and I tried to witness to my dad the way Ray Comfort does - going through the 10 commandments when presenting the gospel.  It didn’t go as planned - he wasn’t willing to admit to being a sinner.  My mom, a long-time church goer, was defending him and was making it harder rather for us trying to help us reach him. Plus, During the conversation she admitted to having many doubts about the faith which  made us question whether she is a true believer.  A few days before this she had returned 2 books I lent her, Mere Christianity & More than a Carpenter, and said they were really good & interesting. I was shocked that she could read these books and still have so many doubts and questions about the Bible, God, etc.  I would love your prayers for my parents to come to faith and also, is there any book or resource you think I should consider giving or sharing to my mom, (or questions to ask ...
