Hello, this is my first post here and it’s a long one so buckle up everyone. A little bit of context I grew up in a Christian family, albeit a broken one (parents split up at a young age). My mom and dad both were strong followers of Jesus, my mom has since lost her faith. My dad was a drug addict from his teenage years to his mid 20s and through an incredible story of redemption that I won’t get into right now he found Jesus and his life was completely changed, and anyone who knew him from back then can attest to the radical change in him. He spent many years with my mom before I was born and during my early childhood traveling all around the world spreading the good news, changing countless lives, witnessing miracles and truly living in the fullness of the gospel. He’s not by any means religious either, he just has a deep love for Jesus because of what he’s done in his life. All this to say, growing up, I have always had an understanding of who Jesus was and what he did for us when he died on the cross. Growing up around churches and religious people and being influenced by that culture has played a part in shaping my world view. As a kid I was taught that God was a separate being who loves us more than we could ever understand (our Heavenly Father) and that we as humans are inherently sinners and the only way to be free from that sin is to accept Jesus into our heart. So now, I am 20 years old and I’ve been opening myself up more spiritually and watching Rey’s videos and I’ve been learning all these new things. Like God is not some big being in the sky, but rather he is the entire universe and he is me and he is you and he is everyone. I always believed that heaven was a place and that when I died, I would ascend and “dwell in the house of the lord forever.” But now I’m hearing that I can just be in heaven right now? And if I am God then is Jesus still my Lord and savior? I’ve watched many of Rey’s videos and when I really look at his core messages, I have found that they are all true, and that they actually do lineup with the teachings of the Bible just on a much deeper level than I had ever considered before. I’ve tried sharing some of these things with my dad and he doesn’t seem to understand or be willing to understand and he’s actually advised me against watching these kinds of videos because he said they are dangerous and they’ll lead me away from the truth. I’ve refrained from sharing a lot of what I’ve learned from Rey with my dad because he is very unreceptive to it and I’m worried that he’s going to think I’m falling down the wrong path and becoming some crazy spiritual person. I’m curious what you all think about all this, and if you can help me make sense of everything, because it feels like I don’t know what to believe anymore. All I know is I really hope that everything I learned growing up about Jesus is true.

My dads side of the family all had acne growing up, it was a phase and it eventually went away in their late adult hood. I myself break out everywhere at times and have been dealing with skin issues since I was a teenager, and I’ve tried everything in the book to cure it once n for all, eating healthy not eating processed foods and exercising, balancing my hormones etc, etc these actions help, but it’s never truly gone away fully. I sometimes wonder if acne is a generational curse or I wonder if maybe acne is just a manifestation of suppressed feelings? There is more to acne than just acne. people tell me It is just genes and some people just have “the acne gene” but I don’t believe that’s true. Anyone else have any ideas on what causes this? I don’t want a topical cure I’ve tried all… I need a spiritual cure

Hello, my name is Susana. I'm 21 years old, trilingual, and still learning more languages—I’m a huge language enthusiast. This year, I’ve truly connected to God as part of my self-discovery journey. I’ve been praying before every meal with gratitude for everything, and having these mind-opening conversations with myself and God. I’ve never been happier... but I also struggle with understanding who I truly am. I feel I’m someone easily influenced, like a chameleon that changes with every connection. I consider myself a very empathetic person; to me, there’s no strict right or wrong, and I know human beings are naturally contradictory. But often, I change my own conceptions or ideas after listening to someone or even after watching videos online. It’s as though my own ideas aren’t strong or convincing enough for me. I don’t really like this idea of being “not authentic” or “not myself,” and I wonder if I’m people-pleasing—though it doesn’t entirely feel that way either. Does anyone understand what I’m trying to express? Is it wrong to be easily influenced? I’ve been writing a lot about my own ideas and trying to form a clearer concept of what I believe. But I still have this feeling that maybe the things that Im writing are not really myself.. maybe I’m not really myself. 🤔 (maybe iam overthinking)
