I’m an older millennial and I’ve noticed a ton of Gen Z returning or finding religion, which is great! At what moment was your turning point? If any?

Once a week my husband and I do bible study outside of regular service with our pastor. We look forward to it every Tuesday. We Have become great friends with our pastor, it’s a great joy to go. with all the noise outside of the church we often get lost in our lives and my husband and I find this a good way to keep focused in Christ.

I'm a very busy doggo at home, so I forget about my socials a ton. Which I guess is not a bad thing. I thank God for my busy hands. What projects are you all occupying yourselves with? Mine, is knitting, working on that blanket that never ends.

What is everyone’s feelings on the statement: Relationship not religion?

My opinion on the matter is that the term “religion“ was given a negative context in culture, but I do not think there is anything wrong with using that word.

The terminology I have used is “committed religious relationship” when it comes to my walk with Christ. I’m curious about how others feel about this common statement.

I am a big fan of bluegrass gospel, what gospel genre is everyone here into?

When the historic 1951 Aneto cross was inexplicably vandalized and removed last month, an 18-year-old from France named Maël refused to let the summit remain empty.

Taking matters into his own hands, he hand-crafted a stunning replacement from a black walnut log, detailed with engraved fleurs-de-lis and carefully varnished to brave the harsh mountain elements. But the real challenge? Carrying the 35kg cross to the highest peak in the Pyrenees completely alone.

Departing a Spanish parking lot under the cover of midnight, Maël pushed through a grueling 14-hour and 40-minute ascent. By 2:40 PM, he stood at 3,404 meters, anchoring his masterpiece deep in the snow.

A profound act of strength, endurance, and reverence to restore a beloved landmark for mountaineers and the faithful alike.

WELS maintains a strict stance on "prayer fellowship," generally restricting joint public prayer with church bodies outside their fellowship to maintain scriptural integrity.

Private Exceptions: While public, joint prayer with those of different confessions is avoided, private, personal, or family prayer settings often allow for more discretion and are not considered the same as formal public fellowship.

So my abstaining of prayers for others is never personal but part of my integrity. I do pray people return home with Christ but personal and public joint prayer is not for me or my husband.
