How do you deal with Christian friends where you feel they dont have a good influence on you and they are not surporting your way with Jesus?
You shouldn’t be best friends with them but instead be a witness to them and maintain space
I just made a video about this on my page with @ashleyhetherington a few videos back!

Your videos and content are always so helpful. I need some advice. in the last year i have grown so much in my relationship with the Lord and it’s changed me in a good way. but i’m still holding onto my three best friends who aren’t believers. honestly i don’t know if they are believers or not cuz every time i bring up scripture of Jesus they brush it off or change the subject. we’ve all been best friends since middle school and i’ve started to realize i fall into temptation when i’m around them. sometimes i feel like they are having more of an influence me and than i am on them. i want too keep my distance but it’s so hard because i love them so much and we are very close but i’m growing more and more with the Lord and they are starting to see that and notice i’ve been distant and changed. how do i let go of them without hurting them? do i let them go? do i keep trying to speak the word of God into there life and try to have more of an influence on them than they do me? i’ve really been struggling on what to do and it’s really hard. Sometimes i dont even know how to act around them cuz i’m a different person now and i always worry about falling into temptation when i’m with them. these girls are like my sisters and i’m just struggling to hear what God wants me to do. it’s hard because i’m afraid of hurting them by letting them go. any advice?
When I am seeking discretion/wisdom/direction, I ask for guidance in a different way than usual. I Pray, Praise, Ponder, and Petition until I receive an answer - aka, His Peace. I pray that I will be able to glorify Him and follow Him no matter what... that He will create a pure heart in me and change my desires to match His own. I praise Him for what He has done and how He is moving in my life personally, acknowledging Him for keeping His promises and being faithful to His Word. I ponder what it is He wants me to do, giving myself time to think deeply and consider the ways God may want to move in and through me because no hardship is a waste when submitted to God. Then I petition, asking Him to make it clear as to what I should do and how I should move forward - imploring Him to change my perspective if that is what needs to happen, that He would strengthen me through the Holy Spirit to deny myself and fully submit to His will. After laying it all bare at the feet of Christ, peace comes and eases the burden. Every. Single. Time. Being alone with God is essential to knowing His heart for you. Read His Word. Be fully convinced of His deep love for you. Make time to be silent and still with Him. I recommend turning off your bedroom's lights, closing the door, shutting off your phone, and sitting on your bed or floor before going to sleep just to be with Him. Whether your eyes are open or shut, it does not matter because there is nothing to visually distract you and the house is as quiet as it gets. Whether sitting in silence or singing, you are seeking His face and He will draw near. As for advice about your particular situation, invite your friends to church or youth group with you. Have strong believers in your life who will hold you accountable. If being with the three of them together always results in struggle and temptation, initiate spending time together one on one so they cannot "gang up" and change the topic of conversation. Seeds are planted even when you cannot see growth. One of your friends might be interested in Jesus but is afraid to ask in front of your other friends. Be intentional about praying for them, and ask if there is anything you can specifically pray about on their behalf. Ask God to help you serve them - that they would be able to see His love in you. I am not sure what the end result will be. All I know for certain is God cares for you deeply. Trust Him. He has you in the palm of His hand.
Awesome video Julia ❤🎉🎉🎉❤😂😂😂😅😊

Julia, how do you deal with not being able to accept god and feel like you wanna be Christian to show people and is so lazy and keeps falling back to sin and think reading the Bible is just to get into heaven. These few things are so hard for me to control and want to fix it and fix my relationship with Jesus…
Do you mean spiritually Lazy
