These last few years, I would say I identify as Christian. However, with that comes the knowledge that I'm not really an example of what Christ wants me to be.
Among the shitposting and memeing, the worldly politics and mind-bending comms games, and the gradual dissipation and breaking down of an entire fake media matrix, how does everyone manage to stay uplifted?
I get hopium fixes from the usual crew we tend to listen to, but that really only covers geopolitical matrix games. It can be hard to maintain faith in one plan, let alone God's ultimate plan.
How do we navigate this in a Christian way?
Do you guys have any preachers or pastors, or biblical decoders you listen to? Any podcasts, audiobooks, videos?
I don't want to hyperfocus as much on the deceptive war games and get lost in a mental fog of war.
I guess I just get a bit terrified sometimes, that the earthly things are distracting me from really getting to a good place spiritually.
I know we all generally share similar values, and I respect the opinions of those able to see past at least some of the curtains of the show.
I guess I just wish I knew how to do more to bring Jesus into my life.
Any advice from wiser crazies than I?
Love ya, you nimble navigators.
Remember pray, pray some more, read the Bible and pray. If you have a local church family.. attend.
I've enjoyed Andy Stanley and Beth Moore. If you can handle a bit cheesy feel good movies, they can lift a mood.. Facing the giants, War Room.. even Mom's night out. Heck, the old 10 Commandments. Or dig into some literature.. CS Lewis, Frank Peretti, Bill Bright, Francine River's Mark of the Lion series is good.
Having prayer, Bible and fellowship are key. Sharing your faith. Don't live based in fear. Just the fact that you are aware of something unbalanced is a great thing. Take a break if needed for mental and spiritual health. Praying for you!
Thank you for the suggestions!
Yw.. and Ack! I mean the movie War Room.. not prayer room. But yeah..lol It has Priscilla Shirer. Btw, she is a powerhouse teacher also. I'll fix it in above comment.
Ah, thank you!
Btw, have you seen The Chosen?
Love, love, LOVE that series.
