Question:

How should I interact with my unsaved family? They are not supportive of my faith, and I’m the only Christian in my entire circle of family. Any advice?

• It impacts all of us. • Colossians 4:5 • 1 Peter 3:15 • CS Lewis quote about other world • Ephesians 2 - spiritual corps • Treat people graciously, gently, and lovingly • Show them what it looks like to be a gracious person • Allow God’s timing • Be ready to follow God’s calling

Question: How to process national church scandals that are all over the news. It's quite upsetting and makes me not trust anyone. What should I be saying to people who belong to churches associated with this?

• Both Catholic and Protestant church there are headlines about abuse, abuse of power, financial fraud, affairs, etc. • It damages our testimony and it’s unfortunate • No one is above sin • Romans 3:23 All fall short of the glory of God • Respond with prayer • Come Thou Fount • Jesus came for the sick and hurting, not for the healthy • Jesus can restore relationships and trust • Don’t let the few impact the many faithfully following Christ • We are all one step away from falling into sin that could be headline news • Psalm 51 “just when you speak”
