FAITH TALKS✨| How to navigate secular spaces

Welcome to Faith Talks! ✨
In this week's episode we'll be talking about how we can navigate secular spaces well as followers of Christ. It's not easy to step into places like school, work, or university where Christ might not be at the centre. But it's so important for us as believers to stand firm in the faith and be the light in the darkness that God is calling us to be!

    I've learnt that everything we do is an act of worship to God, and in doing so that has led me to be more aware of my words, my ways & how I complete a task. And so now what's happening is I don't complain, get angry at unfairness with coworkers, or lose my temper at family members when they do something wrong, instead I just smile, rejoice & sing while I finish up my task. This has resulted in people respecting my space when they do come around me. They don't gossip with me or bring negativity to me anymore. My environment has become more peaceful because I see more things to rejoice for than my troubles & I dont engage in things that is a cause for negative. So look at each step you make as an act of worshipping to God & he'll transform you.

    "People that walk this road (broad road) don't know the consequences of their actions themselves". Thank you for bringing this urgent call to be different in the secular spaces. Beloved let us return to Jesus and hold on to Him as our only treasure. In this world, there is nothing worth the sacrifice of our relationship with Jesus. We can no longer afford to sacrifice the permanent for the immediate.

    So timely Ms. Debs. I just knew today that this is my current problem, why I kept on going with my sin problems, because I compare other people's lives with my life and seeing mine as boring. I need to focus on Jesus, and not believe the lies of the enemy that what he offers is good and will make me happy. Nothing can compare to joy, peace, and fulfillment the Lord can give me if I remain in Him! Praise Jesus! Happy Monday ❤️

    I needed to listen to this episode. Let God keep using you, sister! As someone who share God's word through poetry on my KZread channel and work in a secular workspace, I realize that it's so important to be planted in a local church, be covered in prayer by the pastoral team at my local church, be surrounded by people who love Jesus, and have my own relationship with God. I pray you to find a local church community, where you can attend, serve others, and be around followers of Jesus who will support you as you share God's word on social media. As Christians, we cannot afford to not have a firm foundation in Christ and not attend a local church because of the days we are living in right now.

    So good! This message was right on time. It's not always comfortable telling friends you no longer wish to go certain places or partake in certain things, but it is necessary on this walk with Christ. My fun doesn't equal the same fun as some of my friends anymore and that is ok.💜

My job is draining and ik I don't have too much longer there but its still draining because im trying to be intentional about my journey with God but at work its hard I created these spaces for people to feel comfortable with me to gossip because I listen and end up gossiping as well so it becomes to the point where I just don't want anybody really talking to me while im still there then I feel bad.

    Thank you for the message Deborah, you made me realize my foundation with God isn’t secure like I thought it was. Yesterday I sat with myself and asked what’s distracting me and decided to delete facebook/instagram/and some contacts in my phone, KZread will be next. I realized majority of my time is going to work/sleep/social media ( I work 10+ hours each day m-f. I do make time to spend with God but it’s not enough because I’m still exhausted from work so I don’t fully grasp the word/ not fully present when speaking to him.

    Your message rings true to me. I was convicted by the Holy Spirit. Earlier I had listened to another influencer's advice on relationships and agreed with the advice but her conversation was laced with heavy cursing. I then Joked to God to forgive me for listening... that it was just the influencer's way of speaking. The Holy Spirit made me realize that this was not right and not to mock God....and so I definitely did repent.

    Hi ladies in Christ! I also implore you to be more discerning, even within the church, there are wolves roaming amongst God’s sheep. God has been putting this in my heart lately. Be discerning with the ‘pastors’ you listen to/watch on top of the secular. Don’t be distracted and fix your eyes on Jesus. God bless you all ❤

Indeed I wished if only we'd all get caught up to heaven instantly after being saved - sticking around and moving through this fallen world was just overwhelming and has had me feeling a little discouraged. But the reality of being called to live holy is not something to fear but to be PROUD of, so thank you for the encouragement, creating a safe space for us and validating us whilst we endeavor on this journey awaiting His glorious return

    Hi Deborah 🙂 Our relationship with Jesus must be the most important relationship in our daily life. If we don't have that relationship, then surely our 'other' relationships are ultimately doomed. Bible 📖 life, prayer life, church ⛪️ life. It has worked for nearly 2,000 years; it can work in 2024 and beyond. I hope you and your subscribers have the best week 🙏.

    Take it from, me someone who tried it all. As you get older and you transition out of friends and family that you grow away from or they die, you end up being alone. Where is no one to talk to, help you or guide you, when you are alone and left with all your thoughts and emotions, the only friend and family you have is God. When you are prostrate, crying and the only One who will help you is God, getting and staying in your Bible is no so boring.
