Time to start backsliding!

2025/1/16 Edited to

... Read moreAs we approach the New Year, many of us reflect on past behaviors and resolutions. Embracing authenticity can lead to a fulfilling year ahead. In a world driven by social media perfection, it’s vital to recognize the beauty in our imperfections. The concept of ‘backsliding’ resonates with many who struggle with the pressure of New Year resolutions. Instead of aiming for unattainable goals, consider setting intentions that foster self-acceptance and personal growth. Humor can be a great tool in this journey, allowing us to laugh at our missteps and recognize that it’s okay to be human. Celebrating small victories, acknowledging setbacks, and encouraging a community of support can make a significant difference in how we approach the year. As we share and engage with others, using hashtags like #NewYearResolution and #Comedy can encourage participation and connection. Together, we can challenge the stigma surrounding resolutions and backsliding, focusing instead on genuine growth and joy.

As a Christian unfiltered & transparency
I’m a backslider, I’ve been backsliding and actually being lukewarm. I was playing around and wilding out as fornicating, sexual desires and giving into my fleshy self. I love God and I repented and had a sorrowful heart but then I fell into Romans 7. Wanting to do right but then do the opposite.

How to sit with God when you’re numb
Let’s tell the truth. Some of you aren’t “busy.” You’re numb. You scroll. You work. You serve. You show up. But when it’s time to sit with God? It’s quiet inside. And that scares you. So you rush the prayer. You skim the scripture. You turn worship into background noise.

The same mind that wandered can be renewed….
So many believers are not battling sin, they are battling their own thinking. The enemy did not drag them back, their mindset did. But the same mind that wandered can be renewed, restored, and re-aligned with God. Backsliding does not begin with behavior, it begins with a shift in thinking. You
