JUDAH WRITES: At dinner today, my mom was telling us about a young woman who lives on the streets. Mom gave a sandwich to her and then saw the young woman walk off and give her sandwich to another person. Mom wasn’t sure if she gave it to him because he needed it or because she had to. Mom said the woman normally stands there with her head down and hat out in front of her, like she is ashamed of...
LAUREN WRITES: I have friends who get discouraged, who go through hard times, and who need to hear biblical truths, promises, and encouragement. But some of my friends, though professing Christians, don’t seem to care about that sort of thing. They really only want me to say how sorry I am for them. How can I share with them biblical encouragement and comfort when they push it away and only...
NATHAN WRITES: What is a godly way to handle having an attraction to someone of the opposite sex? How do you avoid being ungodly without avoiding the person? How do you still be friends without being either completely awkward or without going into the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

COURTNEY WRITES: What music do you listen to? I’ve been looking for some new songs, and I’d love to know what you guys like. It doesn’t necessarily have to be “Christian” music but it needs to be clean. Anything from Sovereign Grace to Twenty-One Pilots is welcome. Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

BENJAMIN WRITES: I spent a chunk of my summer in Latvia (Eastern Europe) running a music camp and interacting with Latvian youth. Since getting home, I can’t seem to get back to normal. I’ve read articles about post-mission trip adjustment, but the emotional fallout seems to run in an endless cycle. I can’t stop missing dear Latvian friends, feeling out of place in American...
GRACE WRITES: I’m a “sheltered” homeschooling teen, but I have a heart for evangelism. I really want to reach out in my community in more ways, but I barely know anyone outside of my church, and I barely go anywhere besides church. How can I start a program to really get in the community, like Laura in Sharing the Gospel From New York to Texas? Where should I start? Share Your...
COURTNEY WRITES: How do you stay in the Word? Would you rather listen to or read the Bible? Do you do it in the morning or night? Do you use a physical copy or an app? What about devotions/reading plans? Which translation do you use? However you do it, I’d love to hear from you. Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

ANONYMOUS WRITES: I have recently found out that my dad is addicted to pornography and that he has been for many years. This recent discovery has affected our family tremendously as we have always looked up to my dad and regarded him as a very strong Christian (we have always attended church with him). I am very confused and don’t know what my role in this situation is. Should I speak to...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: I just finished My Old Bones by Kaylee Grace, and it showed me that I really need to be more thoughtful toward my siblings. Each of my siblings has different limitations (one has Down syndrome, another has trouble walking, and the third is partially blind) but I know that I could be a lot kinder to all of them. I’d love to hear any ideas on how to do that, especially if...
MEGAN WRITES: I struggle a LOT with sleeping in. I don’t think it’s wrong to sleep a little extra now and then, but personally I feel like I take advantage of sleeping in the morning to the point that I’m being lazy. For me it’s not always about being tired. I may “wake up” at 6 am, but I’m so comfortable I feel like I can’t pull myself out of bed and so I just go back to sleep. Does anyone...
