How to engage: Estranged but reconnecting to a parent, who is hostile to Christianity
Q: My mom and I haven’t talked in years and since I had my baby we recently got on better terms and have been talking more, which I love! However, she has been seriously making fun of God, the Bible, and our religion (a couple of her posts left in comments). My questions is how am I suppose to emotionally respond to this? I love God so much and it’s hurtful to see these posts but of course it is her page and she can post what she wants to. How should I handle this? A: Love as Christ, and Get equipped to share Christian truths. Then engage her in a loving, and patient way. Show Christ by how you respond patiently in love and grace Get equipped to share truth * you can leave answer links in her comments like, " Many people misunderstad on that topic, this can help, link". or instead post on your page that issue as a FAQ, and leave a link. If shes interested or curious she will look. If she ignores it, it gives you an idea the lost of objections she has about Christianity...
