    Is it okay to watch Gravity Falls?

    I just started watching GF the other day because it’s been getting popular lately, and I absolutely LOVE it. I’m about 1 season in and it just feels like the perfect show for me. The humor, concept, plot and characters are all so enjoyable to me. But then I started feeling weird about it, and I...

    What Are You Happy For?

    I’m happy and grateful that I have a complete family, wonderful friends, and a good job. I’m grateful that God loves me and is patient with me, even if sometimes it’s hard to believe. And I’m grateful that it’ll be fall soon, and the weather will be beautiful and cool for the holidays :)

    How to overcome internet/social media addiction?

    I’ve noticed lately that the more I’m on the internet, the worse my mental health gets. I’ve tried to stop my screen addiction a few times but always end up getting back on instagram or YouTube shorts often without even thinking about it out of boredom. Is there a good way for me to stop being...

    I think I committed the unforgivable sin

    I think this video explains it fairly well. You’ve reached out for the metaphorical rope, brother/sister. Just because you’re having a hard time climbing up doesn’t mean you’re all alone in the pit :)

    I don’t think I really care

    Often, the hardest person to forgive is yourself. The fact that you're here, that you're asking questions and trying to get better, shows that you do care, even if you don't feel it. God sees your effort, and He's not condemning you for it. If you have repented of your sins, then you are...

    I think I have some form of scrupulously, and I’m nervous to talk about it.

    I do watch/listen to mark dejesus, and recently I’ve started listening to Jaimie Eckert as well :)

    I had a really bad thought, an evil thought

    Another thing I’ll add is that your faith doesn’t “decrease” because you had an intrusive thought. The Holy Spirit is promised to be our helper, and He won’t leave us just because we had an uncontrollable thought. God doesn’t think any less of you because of this incident. He will never leave...

    I had a really bad thought, an evil thought

    That sounds like an intrusive thought. Intrusive thoughts directly oppose what we believe to be true/our values. Since you’re on a Christian website, I assume this thought is not what you believe. The two tricky things about these thoughts are: 1: they often reflect your worst fears. They’re...

    I think I have some form of scrupulously, and I’m nervous to talk about it.

    Everything kinda started last year. To make a long story short, I had a fictional story I enjoyed writing, but I had a bit of an anxious episode (I feel weird even calling it that, because it makes me feel like a fraud) where I thought that God told me to stop writing it and begin a new story. I...

    How can I incorporate Christian themes into my story without it seeming forced or cringey?

    I’d like to write a sequel to a book I started nearly four years ago, and when I wrote that one it was very secular-leaning. I stopped writing it a little over a year ago due to mental health circumstances, and now I’d like to pick it up again and add in some biblical themes as a “sprinkling of...

    I'm just tired.

    Sometimes I just feel like I want to scream, but I don't think I have the energy to do that. I think something's wrong, I just don't know what. I know faith isn't based off of feelings, but gosh, I haven't been feeling on fire for God in months. I'm trying to read the bible and pray, but...

    Am I crazy??? Please help me, Christian Writers :(

    Quick note, I think I'm doing better now, I posted this in a very frantic state but I've since calmed down and I think it's going to be okay.

    Am I crazy??? Please help me, Christian Writers :(

    Thank you, I'm sorry if it sounded like I was blaming God, I didn't mean it that way.

    Am I crazy??? Please help me, Christian Writers :(

    Hey, I'm new here, I've been a christian since I was 8 (I'm 16 now) and I really need advice from Christian writers, because I feel like I'm going absolutely insane. But it's a really long story that dates back to a few years ago. So, back in 2020, my familiy was in a really tense moving...
