When The Biblical Truth Hurts: Losing Friends • Speaking Truth In Love | Christian Homemaking

[@poisedwithpurposeco]

I can sincerely relate to this title. 🤍 Speaking boldly in truth is going to offend the world, but the Word of God calls for us to do so. Walking the narrow path is not easy. I've lost friends because of sharing the truth of the gospel as well. May God continue to bless and protect you, Anna. He is our refuge and strength; He will bring the right people into our lives. If anyone has prayer requests, please do share! Praying for all 🫶🏽🕊️

I really like your videos, and they really are inspiring because you’re saying the right things. I became a Christian now for over 4 months and it’s been a good journey and I know that there is nothing more important then God. ❤your such a good mom! 🎉

[@pattyhansen7563]

that was really powerful...3:42 "Our fear compounds OUR sin, not theirs" never thought about that. we are not to be afraid. So just speak the truth.

[@mrs.carter4775]

I know exactly how you feel. I left Islam to follow Christ. I spoke the truth to Muslim family and have lost them. I spoke the truth to so called Christians and lost them. I have gained more peace and closeness to God therefore I rejoice. Hallelujah

[@legacybuilder9664]

The Lord loves you deeply. He is your everything and will comfort you through those difficult times .

[@debc315]

Do not bbecome discouraged, sometimes God separates His own, even from family. When adult children turn away from you because of your relationship wuth Jesus, that is I believe is painful. We have the answer Jesus. Knowing that they will spend eternity in hell , makes me so sad

[@mrs.carter4775]

@@legacybuilder9664 thank you, Gods peace is unbelievable in times of difficulty

[@christiana_mandalynn]

I almost cried watching this… I have been boldly speaking the truth and the backlash has been really hard. It’s uncomfortable to be out there, “unashamed of the gospel of Christ” when you are standing against people who are rejecting you or calling you terrible things and saying that you are judgmental. Thank you for this video. It showed up in my feed and I wasn’t subscribed to you, and I know that was a little divine timing from the Lord. 💛

[@JubileeHomesteading]

I had confronted a friend asking if there was anything I had done to offend her once I saw she had excluded me from her Bible study fellowship. She was not forthcoming and decided to pretend like there was nothing wrong. Unfortunately, she was kind in person when others were around, but ghosted me behind closed doors. I still miss her but, I realize, that it wasn't true friendship. Great words of inspiration!

[@AnnaDysett]

A fellow “sister” who does this kind of thing hurts even more than secular friends. I’m sorry this happened to you 😔

[@JohnTheRevelator11]

I went through this with my “Christian” homeschool group recently. It hurt so much. I’m still recovering but it made me so much stronger and able to focus on my family more than myself in this really powerful way. Blessings to you sister.

[@Anitalevy156]

Very true , I`ve lost many friends and even a neighbour as I walk on the path of Christ.. It`s so sad, but it`s become a blessing that these people have left as all they want to do is live in sin, and now I can live in peace.. praise the lord.

[@mellisugahelenae]

Because of my faith, I have not only lost my friends but also my sister and brother. My father was an alcoholic and my mother was totally misguided. My grandparents died so early that I never knew them. God has replaced everything in abundance. Even the deceased grandparents. He is truly Lord over everything. (❤ Erica from Switzerland❤)

I love your content, Anna. I can relate to your testimony as well, as I also came from a New Age background and found Jesus only 3 years ago (Praise God!). I have not been bold enough in sharing my faith, this video is a wonderful encouragement to do just that.

[@chelseav8311]

I actually recently went without KZbin intentionally for a week. It doesn't sounds like much but I've noticed I've been more hooked on screens in my limited spare time but I'd like that time for reading my bible or on other activities not on screens. I think it is fitting this was the first video I watched once I came back on. I have lived a life serving others but still way too much unto myself and been to carnal. God's been working for a decade I me but I still need so much more from Him. I have lost many family and friends being on this road because I didn't want to let sin consume my life but it was seen as self righteous instead of a good thing. I subscribed and I pray the Lord continues to change me and make me less carnal. He is working. Thank you for the scripture. Our Biblestudy reads the KJV because it hasn't been through a ton of translations and isn't from a corrupted source. We want the truth, as you mentioned, in it's purest form.

[@edub4508]

Your voice is so soothing.the connection I have to this video soon I as clicked on it. I have become isolated and lost almost all my friends. God isolated me to get rid of all the drama and focus on true meaning. I have bare minimum and feel better. God has me at a stand still,I have faith in his timing for my next step. I think he is building my faith. I had gut feeling at first that my life was going in the wrong direction. It got so bad I was going into work feeling sick when I clocked in. God didn’t want me there no more, I worked there 25 years. That gut feeling turned out to be the Holy Spirit guiding me out of miserable situations. Hope you see this comment, would like to talk to you. Love your video

[@AnnaDysett]

Thank you! YES - I do believe He isolates us sometimes to get us closer to Him. Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose

[@avapucilowski]

I feel like we sometimes crave chaos and drama in our life’s. We feel unsettled with the stillness and quietness of peace that comes by knowing who Jesus is. I hope to instill more moments of peace in my life by just spending quiet time with the Lord and meditating on the word.

[@stephbalmer94]

I'm a Christian wife and mother to 2 under 2 living in Northern Ireland with plans to move to America in the summer for my husband's vocation to study at seminary! I have found since becoming a mother, I have personally grown a lot as I felt the Lord call me to be a keeper of my home. Many of my relationships feel like they're either over or fizzling out as I'm not conforming to the status quo of how to be a mother in todays culture, even among Christian friends who are working mums so I have less in common now. It's nice to know it's not just me that feels that! ❤

I had one good friend thats Godly woman we talk sometimes but we don't see each other like we used to cause we both moved from different cities. Thanks for sharing this. I was so down the other day because i feel so alone and always but i have to realize that I am not i have him to talk to and ask for advice. He knows my plans for me. God bless.

"Soft language makes soft people." George Carlin When I try to engage in conversation with others, I am reminded of this quote by George Carlin. The advantage of taking this walk at 52 is that you have lived and learned from your mistakes. That's the place I am at. People who stopped being friends with you over telling the truth of Christ and from his teaching weren't your friends to start with. Keep being who you are. Just remember, more and more Americans are seeing the insanity of our society. We are looking at a great country like Russia, which is holding the teaching of Christ and their Orthodox Christian values as more important than Western acceptance. We are realizing that the insanity of our society and we are done with it. We want the values we grew up back over socially acceptance.

[@karenbarth-vt7of]

Sorry, Russia invaded Ukraine, maybe that's what "western" don't accept

[@strongroots2345]

[@Kevin_C_A]

I feel like I lost a friend today because I started to talk about Jesus Christ and how he helped me so many times, I can't even remember them all and I can't deny my Lord and Savior after all that has happened. And I just wanted to help my friend get saved basically but that person just wouldn't really take me serious, thinking they know it all better, it's sad.

IMO, we are in a spiritual (mental) war, it is an internal war. Falsity will enslave one but truth will liberate one and we each get to choose one or the other. Jesus said that He is the truth - John 14:6 We each must choose for our self what to believe and what not to believe. Best wishes to all.

[@Mandalorian_of_Christ]

I never had really any friends from childhood...I was the weirdo kid that did things differently, probably was a bit autistic..but autism wasn't really a thing when I was a kid in the 80s and teen in the 90s. I was always a believer, but lukewarm to freezing as I joined the Army...I tried being part of the crowd to have people to hang out with and started drinking to hang out. That lead me to rush into a loveless marriage cause she was the first to show Interest, but it was just cause I was safe cause I was military. Her issues causes us to lose our first child, and now I'm caring for my son on my own. I came back to Christ 5 years ago at the age of 40 after going down a dark path online. I walked away from social media and none of those so called "friends" try looking me up. After I told one friend I no longer drink I haven't heard anything.

[@Mandalorian_of_Christ]

I hate the Introvert title because we are not meant to be alone...even Paul who was abandoned by almost all his brothers, still had Luke that stood by him.

[@AnnaDysett]

Praise God for bringing you home! Sounds like your cross has been heavy 🥺 Have you found a community within a church over the past 5 years?

[@Mandalorian_of_Christ]

I have a church...one I grew up in that's sadly had a lot of changes that my mom decons with now. It's hard attending a church though with my son...again he's 18 with autism...and not really 100% toilet trained. Still wears incontinent pull-ups and not many know how to gwt him to go to the bathroom or want to deal with that. To me also, most churches have gone too apostate. I mainly read the Bible more, pray more on my own, and tey and find decent YT channels annd podcasts....those last is really hard, especially with the rise of Christian nationalism

[@Tonetwisters]

Right you are! Pray for your friends to find Jesus and that they will make HIM their savior.

[@ofirshorshy8281]

Yes exactly me. I just shared the truth about something in the community whatsapp group and someone came to me to tell me how bad it was... how mean. it actually made me cry to know that maybe it was a sin to share such bare thuth and to show people that there is a right way. It was so stupid, I shared to them where they can buy organic, localy grown meat and that I could help them if they want to get it, because it is sold near my work place. And there is nothing bad in my opinion to show it is possible to eat meat without chemicals and shitty things in it, but this woman got so upset with me.....she said " I think you are unaware of things. that you write this in public" -which was my intention! that as many people as I can in my community would know where to get organic free range meat and especially local (which is super rare here).... I felt like, I had hurt people that maybe are vegan or anthing like this that don't like meat no matter what. but how can I know what everyone eat? I just felt so good that I can share places to buy organic and local. it is important to say that we had disscusions before about where to buy organic... 🤐 I have learned to do not speak in front of dummies.

Thank you for sharing the truth in love sister. I appreciate you sharing- it strengthens me in my walk as I try to wisely share the truth with others also. I praise God for revealing this to me and to all his other children. We must let go of the fear of man and have the Fear Of God rule in our hearts. There’s so much in Proverbs concerning this and how to love your neighbor as yourself ❤ In the book of John- Jesus heals the blind man and bc the healed man believed that Jesus is the Son Of God & that He is the Annointed One The Christ- The man was kicked out of the synagogue, But Jesus found him and comforted him ❤ Here is the love and comfort of our Savior when we choose to speak the truth in love & are cast out, He seeks us and stands with us. We are never alone when we walk with him 🙌🏼 Read John Chpt. 9 for the story.

[@MartyMcFly1085]

Kids, as a psychiatrist, I can say with certainty that the content of this video can be categorized as cult belief. There is finally a push by our conference to consider fundamentalist religion as a form of psychosis and likely a form of developed psychopathy. This woman talks about losing close friends and family due to belief, please understand that being ok with this is not normal social behavior. I’m not with this specific case, but usually there is a form of shared delusion between a believer and the community they belong to, and my delusion I mean a fixed false and irrational belief, usually one related to an invisible authority with the ability to punish. This can slowly erode the ability for reality testing, that is clearly seen here. I was a Christian growing up, and deconversion for me was a result of getting mental health treatment and realizing that the abusive doctrine I had internalized was not discoverable, but was indoctrinated. Peeling back layers of belief is difficult and people often have strong defense mechanisms to rationalize their past religious beliefs and behavior. There are studies that have shown true emotional trauma can result from telling children their world is broken and evil and people suffer eternally. Christians will use apologetics to defend faith, view these individuals as illusionists combined with used car saleman. Do not ignore what your conscience tells you as this woman continues to do, the idea that answers to life’s big questions is found in a Bronze Age blood cult is laughable but also very serious. If you are the friends of this woman, don’t give up trying to speak logic with love. People deconvert in very small steps after thousands of cracks develop in their belief, and this takes time. NAMI is a great resource for family/friends dealing with a person like this in their lives.

[@AnnaDysett]

I also have a degree in sociology/criminal justice and took my fair share of psychology classes. I understand your concerns, and there are religions and denominations that bring about loads of abuse. However, you are coming from a perspective of someone who has never had an encounter with Jesus and feel that this world is all there is. I did not want anything to do with Christianity, and I also thought Christians were brainwashed before my personal encounter with demons when seeking the truth of Jesus Christ. I ask that you look further into testimonies of regular people who lived a life their way and did their research and fell on Jesus being the way and truth. If you have never done any research on the resurrection, I would maybe start there. I personally looked in to the resurrection trying to debunk it - so you can try that out. And then maybe study and actually read the entire Bible and find some contradictions before drawing conclusions that it’s laughable. I’m not asking you to believe. In fact, I prefer you go in just as skeptical as you are.. but I do think it’s fair that you do your due diligence and become educated on the topic before passing judgment on it.

[@rokfather]

@MartyMcFly1085 Thank you for speaking up here! There are many concerning elements to this video and it has very high control/cult vibes. The tone of voice is soothing but speaking for "truth" in such a generic sense and implying she knows what "god says" is very vague and can make a lot of people feel good about anything they believe. Seems like a lot of self righteousness and potential narcissism to me.
