What are you reading in the Bible right now?

W

J. WRITES: I’m always encouraged to hear what other Christians are reading in Scripture for their devotions. So what are you reading? Are you using a read-the-Bible-in-a-year plan? Tell me about it.

How can I get involved in world missions now?

H

ROSE WRITES: Being a Christian, I know that I’m called to be involved in the global spreading of God’s gospel (Matt. 28:19-20). But being a teenager, I know that I can’t go overseas long-term right now. I also know that at this point I’m not called to go overseas long-term anyways. But how can I get involved in world missions from here at home? I know I can pray and...

How can I enjoy my time with God more?

H

PETER WRITES: Do you ever feel bored when you spend time with God? Are you falling asleep reading your bible? I know sometimes I have a hard time just getting started, because I know it might take a while. There are times in the morning when I just want to go eat breakfast, or read some other exciting book instead of spending time with God. I know this isn’t good, and I want to find myself...

Do you listen to podcasts? If so, which ones?

D

J. WRITES: It’s only in the last year that I’ve really started listening to podcasts and realizing their benefits, both for entertainment and teaching value. I listen to both fun and serious ones, the silly and the theological, and I’m always curious what others find worthwhile to listen to. So if you listen to podcasts, which ones are your favorites? Why? Share Your Thoughts in...

How do you practically be transparent?

H

A. WRITES: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to be transparent about my personal struggles. I have never been very good at talking about my problems, and I’m finding it’s also hard to tell people about how God has been helping through them. When I do talk about personal struggles, I feel like I’m bothering people or complaining. When I talk about Jesus’...

How has “Do Hard Things” changed your life?

H

AMANDA WRITES: Besides the Bible, Do Hard Things has probably been the most influential book in my life so far. It completely changed my perspective on life as a teenager. How have the book and The Rebelution website impacted you? I think it would be really special if we let Brett know how much it has meant to us. Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

How can I fight spiritual pride?

H

JOHN WRITES: I know that my heart is just as deceitful, and probably more deceitful than my friends’ hearts. I know I’m a sinner, but I’m good at sounding wise. Even when I’m acknowledging sin, sometimes it can make me feel more ‘godly’ because I’m more aware of my sin than my friends are of their own. I even get annoyed when people treat me like I’m such a good person when I know I’m...

How do I represent God in hostile online environments?

H

STEPHAN WRITES: I’ve recently been participating in a lot of online communities that many atheists and anti-God individuals populate. What is a good way to better represent God to people who lash out against Christians in their comments? I know how to do it in a personal setting, but most of the people want scientific evidence that God exists, which I’m not familiar with since...

Who’s your unsung hero?

W

JOHN WRITES: There are so many people we look up to who are in the spotlight or stand on public pedestals. But there are heroes all around us, in our homes and on this website. Is there a specific person on The Rebelution that you look up to? Or is there someone else in your life who has impacted you? What have you learned from them? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently...

What are good Scripture passages to help me rest?

W

ANONYMOUS WRITES: I struggle with having terrible dreams whenever I try to sleep. Because of that I fear sleeping because I don’t want to have bad dreams. Reading the Bible and talking to God before I go to sleep really helps calm me down and silence my fears. Do you have any suggestions of Bible verses that talk about fear and resting in God?
