I’m curious to know what others in this space are experiencing right now in their walk with the Lord. Are you a new Christian filled with joy and excitement, someone who has known Christ for decades, someone just starting to study Scripture, someone feeling stagnant in your faith or like God is silent, someone seeking to grow your faith, find a new church community, or perhaps you’re a skeptic?
Wherever you are, I’d love to hear about it. It’s always encouraging to see how God is working in the lives of others or to be able to reach out in solidarity through a difficult time.
I’ll share where I’m at. I have kind of felt like I’ve been in a stagnant, “status quo” place in my faith for some time, until probably late last year (2025). Around that time I felt like a lot of spiritual questions and things I had been mulling over and praying about took more shape. I felt the Spirit leading me to join a new church, even though I had attended my old church for over a decade and loved and appreciated so much about it. Since then I have felt the Spirit’s presence a lot more and have felt so engaged on Sunday morning and have that “new Christian” energy back and renewed love of prayer and interest in service to the church and community. Even though I know the Christian faith is much more than a feeling which ebbs and flows, I am still so glad to be coming out of a season of stagnation and into more fruitfulness.
What about you? No wrong answers!

I have only been a Christian for about 2 1/2 years. I went from being new and in awe of it to complaceny, then around november 2025 kind of lost my way, I am diving into it headfirst again and enjoying every moment of growth and seeking and finding answers to a lot of my questions thanks to this community, as well as realizing I am not alone in my struggles be it my temporary situation, or the heart break I went through, the love and support are great and only reaffirm for me what it is truly all about, faith and love.

I think I’m somewhere in between seasons.
Not really in that “new and exciting” phase, but not completely stagnant either. More like a steady, quieter place where things are still moving, just not in a very visible way.
Sometimes that feels a bit uneventful, but I’m starting to see that it might actually be part of the process too.

I’m in the ocean. I’ve been here for a while it seems. Stormy seas all around, but I think I’m becoming a seasoned sailor lol. Aside from that, I’m in a quiet season. Not quiet as in I can’t hear God, but quiet as in be still…which is still my verse. Be still and know that I am God. Everything is moving along in life, I don’t have any complaints or concerns..not really.. so I’m enjoying this quiet phase, spending more time than ever just having conversations with God, asking the Holy Spirit to continue to convict me in my daily life, and keeping my eyes on Jesus. I like where I am right now, but I know I’ll be heading into another season of adventure. A woman at church asked me if I was back home for good, and I said “well..I guess that depends on where one considers “home” to be. I know God will send me on another mission..to where? I have no idea but I can’t wait to find out!” She shook her head, smiling and said “how do you handle that? Never knowing where you’re going to be or end up?”
I wouldn’t have it any other way. Wherever I go, God is there. He has promised never to abandon me or foresake me, so where ever He sends me, I’m happy to go.
