My spouse is agnostic, how can I share on God?

Q: I don’t think my husband believes in God and idk if I should be offended, mad, or disappointed. [Well, just now he confirmed that “he believes in a god or rather he likes the idea of a god but he’s not sure.”]. A: It is a bit surprising you didn't have these convos while dating. But...   It means he is open, that's a great thing! He hasn't really let others brainwash him into atheism, so he is blank canvas.  It is a great opp to share Biblical truths and the Gospel ! 😊😊 Heres great resources for him. 1. Videos he can watch on God & Christianity (a real help).  2. Understanding the Gospel of Jesus. God bless

Help guiding my kids away from spouse's Buddhist religion

Q: My husband was just at a Buddhist meditation center, out of State, gone for 10 days. Since returning, I feel like he is a stranger to me. There is so much distance. He has also told my 10 year old daughter he has plans to take her and my 6 year old son to a Buddhist temple. He wants them to learn "meditation".  My kids attend Christian church with me. My daughter doesn’t want to go to a temple, but I said if he makes her, she will “meditate” on Jesus and witness to everyone there 😂 ✅️. My 10 year old immediately told him, “I don’t want to go.” He then told her she has to and “it’s good to try something new.”  We have been married 16 years. I’ve been praying for him to come to the Lord for many years. I’m growing weary, but I still have hope. Gal 6:9 🙏 But in light of these recent events I’m feeling especially weary and in need of encouragement. A: Prayers. First, glad thats your daughter's view. You've been leading her to know truth, let's pray she holds to i...

Is Christianity a crutch?

Addressing objections  "Christianity is a crutch" It def isnt a crutch. If someone (whose life is going great, is making money, feels fullfilled), would say to a Christian "i dont need Jesus, Christianity is a crutch", as a Christian I would respond that "the issue is about being right with God because after death is the Judgment" with the goal of sharing his need for a Savior cuz death is coming for him (today, tomorrow, whenever) then this great life hes built up is taken from Him & hes ushered before the Judgment seat of God. Eternity is gazillion bazillion unending years, and 40 to 80 years here is nothing. Plus its better to have God adopt you, be a loving Father, bless in spiritual ways and sometimes earthly ways, to use it to glorify Him. God is with you, loves you. Jesus is with you, the Holy Spirit is too and God in you, to live out your life with that missing spiritual life component - that begins now and continues in eternity. All those kind...

"Agree to disagree"

You can use this in a convo to start it, or to swing it where you want it to go if theyre pushing a unbiblical worldview on politics, religion or whatever topic has contention.  Have you ever heard  "Agree to disagree"? The phrase came from a disagreement  Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, two prominent Christians, had.  They didnt let personal disagreements cause problems. And that good mindset lines up with Scripture "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God." 1 John 4:7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 They were united in the Essentials, which are tied to the foundations of truth.  Do you know....  >>[you can say one or ask all 3]: ●What the Essential core truths if Christianity are? ●Did you know these Essentials are tied to the Gospel? ●Has anyone ever explained the Gospel clearly to you before?  ✝️Lead convo from there into Law and Gospel ...

Friend had interest in God, got involved in Bible study and content, but after a year claims to be too busy to continue.

Q: At what point do you shake your sandals off and keep walking? I had a friend come to me and want to learn about God almost a year ago. She was on fire, listening to tons of podcasts, reading the bible with me, meeting on a monthly call to ask me questions.  Once she started reading the Bible with me, she started with the Old Testamant and had qualms with "God's ego/jealousy," so we switched to the gospels.  She has read 3/4 of the gospels and completly lost steam over the summer - too "busy" to read the Bible. She also complains about Chrsitianity/politics. She has been healing her depression/anxiety with thearpy and SSRI's and when I said God is helping her improve, she said "But what if it's actually just me and the things I'm doing?". She still gets on our montly calls (hardly wants to talk about God anymore), and I've felt that I should keep doing them until SHE decides not to... but I'm exhausted. It's really hard to con...

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...

Ending convos w hecklers negatives & folk who disagree with you

Indoors and Outdoors, in convos  When you cant get away.   Hecklers or loud people often draw a crowd in open-air evangelism, and that can be turned for good. But not every setting is the same. In more personal or constrained contexts (pharmacy line, a booth, indoors, coffee shop, workplace, etc), you don’t always want to let it run long. You may need to end the conversation gracefully — while keeping your witness intact before bystanders. Here’s a structured suggestions, geared toward hecklers / loud / negative people (whether unbelievers or false converts). 🔹 Principles to Guide You 1. Redeem It When You Can – If a heckler draws a crowd in a setting where you’re preaching, use it to pivot back to the gospel. 2. Stay Calm, Don’t Match Tone – Proverbs 15:1: “A soft answer turns away wrath.” 3. Discern the Setting – Outdoors? Use it. Indoors/line/workplace? Limit it. 4. Keep Outsiders in Mind – Don’t let it look like a brawl; people are watching. 5. Exit with Gospel Clari...
