Kim started the discussion What the… hell? in the forum General Forum 4 months ago
I was recently challenged with this question and would love some insight on how folks in here would respond if you were asked the same:

Just to add one more thought to this discussion, Sarah Young mentioned on the call-in show that churches often use fear to control their members. A common example is Pentecostal churches constantly emphasising “Jesus is coming soon” and tying current world events to Revelation. That’s something I’m very strongly against and genuinely…

Hi Kim! Thanks so much for the amazing advice 🙂
I think what you said to the key find a denominational church that doesn’t push too hard on dogma is the key for now. Guess what scares me the most is that my wife will actually start to really agree with Pentecostal church doctrine if we stay there, I don’t want to her to go down that road…

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the thoughtful responses here. I also listened to Shawn’s take on the call-in hour today and found it helpful.
Honestly, I’m still a bit conflicted. Pentecostal expressions are the hardest one for me personally, they’re just not something I resonate with, even though that’s where we seem to keep landing, cause…

Following!! This has certainly been tough to navigate in a semi-mixed faith marriage with kids, however the fulfilled perspective (or even considering the possibility that no one has it all correct) has been truly healing for our marriage and helped us find common ground. We have currently settled in a non-denom that provides some programming…

So interesting! That’s brave of them, reading non-KJV was one of the paths that led me out of the church.
That being said, I need help with my heart because reading this update I couldn’t help but assign ill intent for them that they are trying to appear more palatable as Christians by doing this without truly changing the core of the…
