The problem for me with the word why started in church. According to my teachers as a child, you aren’t supposed to ask God why.

The Good Christian: lies that Christians believe
As Christians, it’s easy to fall into the trap that says we have to be perfect. It’s easy to believe that if we’re broken, God must be disappointed in us. When things like mental illness, pain, questions, etc. come up, it is easy to want to hide them because we think that GOOD Christians shouldn’t … Continue reading The Good Christian: lies that Christians believe
