I think the past 7 years have been not only an eye opener, but an inner revelation. If nothing else, this movement has brought many back to faith and belief in God. I first "figured" it out after Trump had been in office less than a year. It seemed everything being thrown at him didn't stick...almost like "magic". I knew at that point the hand of God was over him for a reason.
I have two daughters who were "peer pressured" and propagandized at college into rejecting their Christian up-bringing. It's encouraging to hear of your daughter coming back. It took me until I was past 30, so there is always hope.
Brother just wanted to say, never be discouraged by the pace of progress. I grew up Eastern European, in the faith from the start, but not brainwashed. Always had the rebellious spirit, "I'll come to a conclusion myself type". And I've been at this conclusion for as long as I can recall, without brainwashing, through my own experiences, and I've had some undeniable unique ones since young. When I come on here and see comments like yours, the joy it brings is truly immense. But the point I want to make is, even though I've truly known God and the truth, since I could remember. I am currently in one of the deepest valleys I have ever been regarding it. And as happy as your comment makes me, it brings guilt onto myself. So I want to tell you that it'll always be a battle, it's not supposed to be easy, for anyone. Nowhere in the scripture does it promise us smooth sailing. However there's nothing more comforting than finding Christ, as hard as life may be. Godspeed Anon
I’m experiencing something similar.
I’ve had a crisis of faith for a long time. That’s led to problems for me, and I’ve turned elsewhere.
My daughter, an atheist since college, has just found Christ and attends a local church to her every week. She takes notes and studies.
I think I’m slowly making a change.

And I will pray that slow change becomes a giant leap of Faith!
