Why does church feel so fake sometimes?
I take my family every Sunday and I'm grateful for our church community but sometimes the pastor says something that feels so disconnected from real life. Like today he was talking about prosperity while half the people in the room are struggling with bills. And then everyone acts like everything's perfect after service. I want to raise my kids to have real faith not performative faith. Am I the only one feeling this way?
The good news is that authentic faith is supposed to feel real and messy. Keep showing up and stay honest about your questions. That's what matters most.
