Q&A: How can the Christian girl survive MIDDLE SCHOOL & HIGH SCHOOL?

[@inessafilovets2289]

What I needed! I'm in middle school and it's tough to try and stay with Christ when all your surrounded in is non-Christian people. Keep up the good work!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

SO TRUE! God is with you and will strengthen you and uplift you friend :)

[@avahiggins3635]

Same here!!! Always try to seek the Lord

I’m in middle school 🏫 right now and it’s just hard. I really want to stay close to my father, but there are other temptations. Please just pray for me right now. God has places some great Christian friends in my life and I’m very thankful! I see Him working in me 😊😊

[@opal777]

I taught middle school and one of the things that worried me about the "good" girls is that they wanted to be more like the "bad" girls while the "bad" girls wanted to be more like the "good" girls. The sad thing is that girls this age define themselves by what others say to them about themselves. I knew some beautiful GOOD girls who labeled THEMSELVES as bad girls because of the kids who they hung with and vice versa. Who is to define "good" vs "bad"? What is the definition of good and bad? It varies from student to student. I would suggest that Coffee and Bible Time quiz these students as to what they label good or bad and then address that. There is a lot of confusion in this area among this age group. It depends on if they are defining good vs bad by worldly standards or by Godly standards. Another thing that I found frightening with this age group is that a lot of girls engage in sex out of pure ignorance vs peer pressure. When I say this, what I am referring to, is that they have no idea as to the physical engagement of sex. They have heard stories from friends as to what sex entails....go out and do it...only to find that their friends saw it in a movie and are still virgins...and then those "friends" label the student as "bad".....when in fact...they were ignorant. Even with sex education, I think that we are falling short and need to remember that not all kids are taught about body functions in the home. They find out from ignorant peers. I am not saying to teach sex education here...but it might not be a bad idea to address it and to direct these girls as to where NOT to go for advise and who NOT to listen to as well as where to go for good advice. God love you all!

I'm a 13 year old Christian girl about to turn 14 in a few days and I love God soo much and when I'm home I pray and listen to worship and repent and everything, but then when I get to school it all goes downhill because you know you're so tempted to follow the crowd and act like everyone else. But I want to be the same even at school.

[@simpleascanbe6790]

Jesus won’t you do it!!! Literally I just started high school this year and it’s so much harder to stand on your own two feet’s (especially when you have no friends/ Godly friends)!!! Thanks you guys, I can’t thank y’all enough! God Bless! 🎉 🙏

[@rachelk7932]

SimpleAsCanBe I just started high school, too! It’s so sad to see people come to FCA and then go out and not live a godly life. And it’s so hard to stay true to the Lord when there is bad influence all around us. But we have to stay strong!

[@simpleascanbe6790]

Rachel Katie I agree! It’s sooo hard. I’m glad you can relate :)

[@coffeeandbibletime]

God is with you in those halls at high school! :) You are the light! God will use this time to grow you stronger in Him!

[@simpleascanbe6790]

Coffee and Bible Time thanks for the encouragement!! I really needed it!

[@kayliekang45]

i go to private christian school and i really love it so much! im so thankful! 🥺

[@user-hb3qv1eh5e]

Throughout middle school, ive been drifting further away from god. Appearance, Crushes, work, appearance, popularity, did i mention appearance? 🤣 Im totally idolizing other things, so i’m trying to come back to Him. 💓 thanks for this

[@katelyn.elizabeth374]

Community is so important. I really think that my middle school and high school days would've looked soooo different without being involved in youth group and having people speak truth into my life. Truly a game changer! Great advice girls!!💕

[@coffeeandbibletime]

SO SO SO TRUE! I am so thankful God brought me to such an amazing church! I don't know where I would be with out it!

[@user-zf4ii3kj5w]

I’m in middle school rn and I’m trying to fill up as much as I can in the lord so that when I come back next year I won’t have meltdowns surrounded by ppl who mock me for my beliefs

Thank you!!!! :)

[@jayalichy6258]

Thank you so much Ashley and Taylor, you see I am going to a public non-christain school. However I go to a great church and I go to a great youth group. And I am going to say whilst going through middle school (right now) you guys are really helping me grow my faith, because at home I have the same situation and I can't talk to my mum and dad about Jesus. So thank you for spreading the word about Jesus, because it honestly does make a difference, especially for me. SO THANK YOU!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

AWWWW THIS COMMENT IS LITERALLY THE BEST! Thank you so much friend! My heart is so happy that we have been able to encourage you! All glory to God!

[@diaa2841]

When I was in the high school it was hard to be myself as christian, but by the time God sent me christian friends too. It is important to trust God! And I still kept good relationships with nonchristians and they apriciated ti and some even returned to God. You don't have to leave your nonchristian friens, but you have to stay faithful to God!

[@rubnez]

Thank you. I'm surrounded by kids who swear like tfue does, and all these other things. Hanging on good.

[@mallorywildman7405]

I may be in my last year of middle school but this really helped:) but see... I have a good relationship with God but I'm awful..im always in drama...my life is a mess..and I do pray about it but that's all I do...i dont try to make a change in my life i just ask god to do it and that's not how it works.. at the moment I dont go to church because my dad works nights (hopefully that will change) but I still practice my faith!

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Hey friend! I am so glad these tips helped! God knows that you have a heart that wants to do better and He sees that :) Ask Him to help you! We can't do anything with our own strength - but with Him we can truly do anything!

[@annagreiner5167]

Hey guys!! Awesome video again!!!!!!! I already asked for a video suggestion in your last Q&A , so I won’t ask again, but thanks for all you do!!! Yeah, middle school was definitely tough for me. . I’m a junior now😁😁😁

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Can you tell us the question again? :) Its really hard to find old comments!

[@annagreiner5167]

Sorry! How can you be a light to people around you who claim to be Christians , but don’t care about the Lord at all ? ( in other words, people who claim to be Christians, but show that they are not by their actions and don’t take their faith seriously) if that makes sense.

Stay connected with God by reading His word and praying! Ask God to strengthen you during this time of not being able to connect with other believers!

[@joankizito8437]

Hello Taylor & Ashley, thanks for this . Kendall calls this reckless abandonment. Giving ourselves wholly to our savior and it will forever be worth it. Christians community is also always important for us to grow & keep our purity in Christ. Hebrews 10:25, Do not give up the habit of meeting together....( Christian company is very important ) Do a video on understanding Purity as a christian. Bless you always.

[@coffeeandbibletime]

Yes, Christian community is HUGE! I added that question to the list! Thanks :)

[@livingvwithg]

Question for Occasional Question Monday: how do you overcome insecurity? And as christians, we know we should love and serve others, but if you have been hurt you kind of are scared to form relationships and such, how do you push past that? Thanks Ash and Taylor!

[@rachelk7932]

Middle school was HORRIBLE. I was so confused and I was a really mean person. Still suffering from what I did in the past :( but so happy that I have Jesus Christ now and I’ve changed! Thank you for the tips! :) Also, could you do a video on if Christians should read Harry Potter? I love the series so much and want to continue reading but I want to make sure the Father is alright with it

[@mariahernandezmoya]

Hi! I have read Harry Potter and I don't think it is wrong. You just have to be aware that it is fiction and that witchcraft doesn't exist. It didn't affect my faith at all. Maybe you can pray and ask God about it. Hope this helps!

[@sweetlemonade6925]

@@mariahernandezmoya Not to be mean or anything. But what do you mean with 'Witchcraft doesn't exist'? The Bible has numerous occasions in where people were using witchcraft. If you say that it doesn't exist then you are saying that those occasions in the Bible never existed. Even today people still use it, for example my parents came from Africa and there voodoo is still practiced in some parts, voodoo is a religion that has a witch doctor that does witch craft, and I can tell you that it does exist, maybe in the way you don't expect. Because when people think about witches and wizard and witchcraft, they immediately think about an ugly women with a broom and a big giant pot mixing potions, but I can reassure you that it's a lie. A lie from the devil, so that people can have this stereotype and never suspect someone of being a witch. Witches in these modern day look like normal people and act like normal people and they don't necessarily have to be ugly, the difference is, is that they get their 'power' from the devil that's why they are called witches. The Bible clearly says in Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.". These principalities, powers, rulers of darkness etc are witches, wizards, demons, Witchcraft etc! If we are fighting against them, that for sure means that they were fighting against us (God's children). If you don't believe that Witchcraft exists then you for sure don't believe that our enemy the devil is fighting against God's children. Reading Harry Potter books of watching the films may not necessarily be a sin, but it sure is a device from Satan. 1 Peter 5:8 says 'Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.' If a lion is hungry and decides to go hunting and sees its prey from afar, the lion is going to creepy quietly behind its prey and will probably also disguise itself amongst the grass, it the prey is standing still because its distracted by something else, the prey will never know that is at its back. And it's only when the lion is is close by that the lion will jump in full force and catch its prey. What I mean with this is that the devil never makes it clear that he is after us, he uses distractions which seem harmless so that we won't suspect him before he actually gets us. 1 Peter 5:8 is not a command or rule, it's a warning, so you can see that it's important. The Harry Potter book is full of abomination towards God, so I don't see why Christians would enjoy reading or watching such things. The Bible says that we should flee from such things. Plus reading or watching Harry Potter books or films doesn't make our spiritual life grow, it does the opposite. We are thought to do things that grow our spiritual life.

[@mariahernandezmoya]

@@sweetlemonade6925 Sorry if I offended you, English is not my first language and I used the word witchcraft wrong. What I meant is that you shouldn't be reading that as reality because it is a fantasy novel, I wanted to express that you shouldn't take it like the book is real. I know it doesn't contribute to growing my faith but when I read it a couple of years ago I didn't find it disturbing to my relationship with God. I just read it as an entertainment and saw no wrong with it. I apologize for giving a bad advice, I didn't know it was wrong reading books like these
