hey parents. never fucking name your kid “christian” or other religious titles. you failed “respecting my child’s self agency” before they could even walk.
if that kid grows up to be an atheist—which it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be prepared for, because your kid is their own person and not a mini-you—they might understandably hate it.
My middle name is “grace” after the grace of god, and at least in my own experience, it’s just a reminder that my parents had already demanded me to fit into their mold and check all their boxes on my own birth certificate.

If you neglect to instruct them in the way of holiness, will the devil neglect to instruct them in the way of wickedness? No, no, if you will not teach them to pray, he will teach them to curse, swear and lie. If ground be uncultivated, weeds will spring up.

i'm so grateful my parents never baptised me because i think it would feel like something i couldn't wash off my skin, another broken promise i would never have been able to keep, another set of eyes boring into the back of my head when i think the bad thoughts, the wrong thoughts, the "i think i love her," thoughts or the "if i come out to you will you stop loving me," thoughts

The Power of the Praying Parent.
I can't help but to think of the power that is in our hands. The power of social media. It has the power to build and protect and also to break and to destroy. It is scaring!
As a mother sometimes I am anxious for my children. You can't always be present to monitor their activities when they are out of the house. Some say don't let them use technology devices or restrict them and etcetera. I sighed.....You simply aren't getting it. Whether you like it or not, they will use these devices at school.
What do you do about the unsolicited adverts that pops up when they are using the Internet for research purposes? I was searching for a christian lyrics and a nonsense ad popped up. Or you haven't come across those? Do you throw your device away?
What about unsolicited prints or conversations on billboards, radio and TV? They haven't asked for it, they haven't searched for it, it just seems to come to you without your permission. What do you do about that? Do you ask them to wear a blindfold and use ear plugs everytime they step out of the house?
Hmm... I have no control over these ungodliness and I was very concerned about it. So I asked for the help of the Holy Spirit on this matter and He referred me to Psalms 1:1-3 https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.1.1-3.KJV
You see, my oldest will be 18 and the youngest will be turning 11. I was concerned about how the world has changed, how 'adults' who are meant to be positive role models to the younger generations are no longer concerned but are instead corrupting them. I am not going to fold my hands and say it is well because it is not well. The next generation is fast being destroyed by the deeds of today's adults.
I began to teach my kids Psalms 1. What the counsel of the ungodly is, what it means to stand in the way of sinners and sit with the scornful using everyday relatable examples.
I made them realise that when they see, hear or read anything that is contrary to what God says that it is ungodly. I told them to walk away from it, don't join in, don't entertain it as they become seeds in their heart. Proverbs 4:23
We talked about youthful lusts, Immorality etc. I told them they will be enticed, I told them sin will be painted as holy... I did not leave any stone unturned.
Now that I have done the talking, the next phase is the spiritual. Ephesians 6:12 tells me that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. 2 Cor. 4:4 says Satan the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who don't believe so they are unable to see the glorious light. I began to use the same scripture the Holy Spirit gave me and use it to pray for them.
Blessed are they. They will not follow ungodly counsel, the Spirit of the Lord rest upon them and give them a heart of wisdom to know what to do at the right time and a heart that delights in righteousness.
Parents, our adversary the devil, goes about seeking whom to devour. We must be vigilant and prayerful at all times. Access to our heart is via our eyes and ears (what we see and hear) therefore we must guard it.
We must not stop or get tired praying for our children's today and their tomorrow.
The seed of the righteous will be mighty in the land says the word of the Lord. Do you think the devil will fold his hands and watch you take that inheritance without contention? This is why we must continually be sowing the seeds of prayer. It is a must!

If a transgender person asks you to deadname and misgender them in front of certain people. Misgender them and deadname them in front of those people. It doesn't matter how icky or gross it may feel, it doesn't matter you'd rather be honest. It doesn't matter if there's more of you there. Certain people aren't safe, and honesty IS NOT the best policy when honesty could put them at serious risk. It doesn't matter if there's a crowd, because when there isn't shit goes down.
Be an ally, do what they ask. Understand that the trans person knows more about their situation than you do, and this includes who's safe and who's not. Some one can be "trans friendly" to other people, but not to people they know or specific people. Do as the trans person asks, yes it's uncomfortable, but it's 10 times worse if the person we don't trust finds out. 100 times worse if they have access to us when you're not around.
Respect trans peoples safety. Misgender and deadname when asked.

I know god will come through for me
This post will be brief and concise. There are specific areas in my life where I possess a strong aspiration for achievement. There exists a profound yearning within me to witness the growth of those particular aspects. Why am I not witnessing any progress? According to God, the timing is not right. I must be patient for the appropriate moment. He possesses knowledge of when that moment shall…

If we DO ever get a Good Omens season 3 (and fingers crossed we will) then using the Second Coming as the narrative device to facilitate the final culmination of Good Omens' ideology and message is brilliant, actually.
Because the Second Coming IS NOT another Adam situation. And, contrary to the misconceptions I've seen, It IS NOT about Jesus being born again as a baby, etc, etc.
THE SECOND COMING. QUITE LITERALLY refers to THE LAST JUDGMENT.
As in. The SAME Last Judgment Michelangelo painted on the walls of the Sistine Chapel. As in - THE JUDGMENT of the Living and the Dead. THE LAST, FINAL, ETERNAL JUDGMENT.
It's the WHOLE thing Armageddon was leading towards. Book of Revelation speedrun: the world ends, everyone dies, and then they get resurrected again to be judged by JESUS himself. He will flick through the Book of Life (WINK WINK WINK DO YOU SEE HOW LOUDLY I'M WINKING AT YOU???), and if your name is there he will go "oh nice you deserve eternal paradise! :D" and if your name is ERASED from the Book of Life he will go "oh no, sorry, you go to the lake of fire for eternity now D:" (except apparently in Good Omens lore it'd just DOOM YOU TO NON-EXISTENCE FOREVER???)
And if you THINK about it, The Last Judgment is the ultimate manifestation of moral absolutism. No shades of gray, no chances. Just BLACK, and WHITE. Never mind that you're like Wee Morag and Elspeth, who are forced to do "bad" things because of circumstances. It's either you pass Judgment Day, or you burn (or disappear forever.) And the way THINGS are going in the Good Omens universe? I don't think there's ANYONE "good" enough to be "saved." Not Crowley, not Aziraphale. Hell, not even the Archangels themselves.
So it provides a PERFECT opportunity for Aziraphale and Crowley to UPEND that SYSTEM entirely.
I think that's what Crowley and Aziraphale would do in s3: establish a new kind of system in which angels and demons have free will to determine the right (or wrong) choice.
Giving them the APPLE, so to speak.
And then they'll go off to retire in a cottage, together at last.

❤️‍🔥 Welcome to this video on setting boundaries with parents. Whether you’re an adult navigating strained relationships that have existed since childhood or an adult whose parents are newly controlling, it can be difficult to manage boundaries. But the Bible offers some guidance on how to do this in a loving way.
The first step is to look at yourself and your perspective. Try not to get angry or defensive when discussing boundaries with your parents. Even if they have been overbearing and intrusive it is important to talk kindly and with respect. This shows them the love and understanding you have for them even as you reinforce the need for boundaries.
The second step is to remember that Jesus faced difficult relationships with his own family. In Mark 3:31-35 Jesus tells his family that “whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” Jesus teaches us that the most important family bond is one of faith and spirituality, not genetics or sharing a house.
From here, we can consider our needs for self-care and look to the Bible for guidance. Romans 12:1-2 urges us to “be transformed by the renewing of our minds”, implying that by changing our thoughts, we can change our behaviour. Consider setting specific boundaries with your parents, which is an act of self-care and love.
Thirdly, learn to set limits if your parents are overstepping boundaries. Speak gently but firmly about how their behaviour is making you feel, and why it is unacceptable. Remind them that valuing yourself means respecting yourself and honouring your needs, even if it means being firm with them.
Finally, practice good communication with your parents on both sides. If they say something you don’t agree with, explain your point of view while remaining respectful and non-confrontational. Respond professionally, don’t be drawn into arguments and don’t confront them in public.
We hope this video has given you some insight into ways to set loving boundaries with your parents as an adult. It isn't easy - but by looking to Jesus’ own example, respecting yourself and practicing good communication, you will be able to develop positive relationships with your parents.

The Give and Take of Parenting and Christian Faith
The Giver-Taker Model on parenting and Faith. Let's use 2023 as the year we focus on our family and our faith. The way your child will parent one day is determined by how you parent them today!
Christian parenting “is about giving more than you take.” Rabbi Jonathan Cahn The Forgotten Truth of Christian Parenting One early Saturday morning, I woke up and instantly headed to my coffee pot. From there, I poured a cup, sat down with my phone and grabbed a blueberry donut I had saved for this very moment. I settled into my recliner as I heard the pitter patter of little feet coming down…
