How should I interact with my unsaved family? They are not supportive of my faith, and I’m the only Christian in my entire circle of family. Any advice?
• It impacts all of us.
• Colossians 4:5
• 1 Peter 3:15
• CS Lewis quote about other world

• Show them what it looks like to be a gracious person
• Allow God’s timing
• Be ready to follow God’s calling
Question:
How to process national church scandals that are all over the news. It's quite upsetting and makes me not trust anyone. What should I be saying to people who belong to churches associated with this?
• Both Catholic and Protestant church there are headlines about abuse, abuse of power, financial fraud, affairs, etc.
• It damages our testimony and it’s unfortunate
• No one is above sin
• Romans 3:23 All fall short of the glory of God
• Respond with prayer
• Come Thou Fount
• Jesus came for the sick and hurting, not for the healthy
• Jesus can restore relationships and trust
• Don’t let the few impact the many faithfully following Christ
• We are all one step away from falling into sin that could be headline news
• Psalm 51 “just when you speak”
