ANONYMOUS WRITES: Has anyone else dealt with self-harm? Any advice on how to work through it?

CARSON WRITES: When you get angry (we all do – don’t deny it) how do you release it? Hold on, when I say “release it” I don’t mean yell and scream and punch and stuff like that. What I mean is: How do we calmly get rid of the anger? Obviously we should remove ourselves from whatever angers us, but some times that’s not enough. How do you release anger? Do you use a stress ball? Punch a...
HALEY WRITES: I recently had a relative commit suicide. He was a strong believer. I know he’s in heaven. But how could something so unbearable (the depression that he was experiencing), which led to something even worse (suicide), be a part of God’s plan for him? This man, despite his faith, despite his wisdom, despite his love for his God, was overcome by hopelessness for his life...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: How do I witness to my siblings if they have turned away from the faith? I have three older brothers. Two of them have turned away and are very consumed by the world, especially my oldest brother. I want to speak up to them about Christ, but then they would see me as a messenger from my parents – my brothers do not have a good relationship with my parents. How do I witness...
TRENT WRITES: What do we do when our school is teaching evolution and our church is teaching Christianity? For years I have heard of the struggles my friends have went through because of the school system teaching very conflicting views with the church. The reactions were as diverse as the people. Some rejected beliefs like relativism and evolution as unbiblical, others left the church, and still...
SETH WRITES: Many people feel differently on this topic, and I would like to know what all you Rebs have to say!

RACHEL WRITES: I’d like to learn how to think critically and examine every book that I read – both Christian and non-Christian – and align them with the Bible, versus simply absorbing books because my parents tell me that they’re good. I want to be able to determine which books are good for myself. Any suggestions? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are...
ZIPPORAH WRITES: As Christians we are part of a group of people that extends across the globe. There are other believers in our towns, states and countries, but also those we do not see — the ones being persecuted and imprisoned. The ones who are doing REALLY hard things. What can we do to get more involved with believers we have never met? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: I have a member of my family that struggles with an addiction to a certain game. He has not yet admitted that it is a problem, yet the other members of the family recognize it as such. I have, and will, continue to pray for him, but what else can I do? He is in a position of authority over me but I feel like I should try to help him in some way. Share Your Thoughts in the...
RACHEL WRITES: Sometimes I feel “inferior” to other people because they’ve intellectually searched out Christianity and a bunch of other religions and ultimately God has convicted them (like Lee Strobel or Nancy Pearcey) that Christianity is true. I’ve been blessed by being raised in a Christian home, and my parents have taught me so much, but even though (by God’s...
