Struggling with the same sin
Repeated struggle does not make surrender inevitable. Repent honestly, identify the conditions that feed the sin, remove access where possible, tell a trustworthy follower of Jesus, repair harm, and keep practicing the opposite way of Jesus.
Follow JesusWhen people mock your faith
When people mock your faith, do not retaliate or answer cruelty with cruelty. Listen for any honest criticism, respond gently when a conversation is possible, set boundaries when harassment continues, and keep living a life that makes your hope visible.
Share JesusTalking to an atheist about Jesus
Talk to an atheist about Jesus as a person, not a project. Ask what they actually believe, listen for their reasons, explain why Jesus and His resurrection persuade you, and leave room for disagreement without withdrawing friendship.
Share JesusHow to share your testimony
Share your testimony by explaining what you believed before, how you encountered the truth about Jesus, and how following Him is changing your life. Keep Jesus central, admit unfinished struggles, and never turn your personal experience into a replacement for Peter’s answer in Acts 2.
Hard QuestionsWhy God allows suffering
The Bible does not give one short explanation for every instance of suffering. It shows a damaged world, harmful human choices, injustice, weakness, and death; it also shows Jesus entering pain, weeping, suffering unjustly, rising from the dead, and promising that evil will not have the final word.
Bible & PrayerCan the Bible be trusted?
The Bible can be investigated through manuscripts, archaeology, historical context, literary study, and comparison of textual variants. Trust should be informed rather than blind: read each book according to its genre, examine difficult passages, and begin with the Gospel accounts of Jesus.
Hard QuestionsWas the resurrection historical?
The resurrection is presented by the earliest Christians as an event in history, not a private symbol. Historical study can examine the early testimony, the crucifixion, the claimed appearances, and the rise of the movement; whether God raised Jesus is the conclusion a reader must weigh.
Hard QuestionsDid Jesus really exist?
The historical existence of Jesus is supported by early Christian writings and later non-Christian references. Paul’s letters and the Gospel traditions are the earliest substantial sources; Josephus, Tacitus, and Pliny also refer to Jesus, Christ, or the early movement associated with Him.

Meet JesusWhat Jesus meant by ‘Follow me’
When Jesus said “Follow me,” He called people to become His disciples. They were to learn from Him, obey His commands, share His mission, love as He loved, and accept the cost of putting loyalty to Him above comfort and status.
Meet JesusThe kingdom of God
The kingdom of God is God’s active reign. Jesus announced that it had drawn near, called people to repent and believe the good news, demonstrated its power through healing and deliverance, and taught disciples to live now in light of its future fullness.
Church & CommunityFollowing Jesus without a denomination
Yes. Jesus calls people to follow Him, and the New Testament does not require membership in a denomination. Christians still need shared life with other believers: teaching, meals, prayer, care, correction, and mission as seen in Acts 2:42-47.
Share JesusTelling family you follow Jesus
Tell your family simply why you trust Jesus and what following Him is changing in you. Speak without insulting their beliefs, listen to their fears, and let patience, apology, service, and love make your words believable.
Follow JesusFollowing Jesus when you feel alone
When you feel alone, keep doing the next thing Jesus taught and tell Him the truth about your loneliness. Seek one trustworthy follower of Jesus, share a meal, ask for prayer, and become the kind of steady friend you hope to find.
Follow JesusWhat a new Christian should do first
A new Christian should begin learning and practicing the way of Jesus with other believers. Read Matthew, continue with John, devote yourself to the apostles’ teaching, shared meals, prayer, generosity, and daily fellowship as the baptized believers did in Acts 2:41-47.
