Pray WITHOUT ceasing
I’ve been very transparent about my struggles on here. I even admitted that my posting schedule has dropped significantly because of these struggles.

I’ve been hearing the same sentiments over and over. Online or in person, people have a bad taste in their mouths about Christianity. Why?

As I’ve been making my way through the Bible, I came across an interesting passage in Corinthians. Especially since so I’ve been growing in understanding patriarchy and how these are things affect our thoughts/interactions, I’ve been wondering what the Bible says about it.
