heyy everyone, im new to this site. But i need some advice. so i grew up catholic, thats how my dad wanted to raise me, my mom is (or used to be) christian, my older sister and her husband are christian now and my other older sister is catholic. I've been telling my sister (the one that's christian) that i dont have in interest in the church my dad goes to and she invited me to go with her to her church to see if i liked that one better, but i dont know if i should because when my dad found out that my sister switched churches he kinda got mad. im pretty much stuck in the middle here, my sister got me a bible and i've been reading that but i really wanted to ty he church out but i dont want my dad finding out! its just that i think about everything else when i'm in the church my dad goes to, i can never keep my attention on the mass. i don't know what to do, can anyone help?!?

hey, i'm new here too : ) so here is what i think.. it is great that you are reading your Bible and seeking God on your own time- that is the best thing you can do. however, going to a church where there are people your age you can fellowship with and relate to is a huge help and tool living in this world. for me, my church is a HUGE blessing. i would recommend talking to your dad completely honestly, telling him that you are looking for a different church experience, etc. if he gets mad, don't be defensive- always obey and honor him even when it is difficult. story of my life. anyway, pray for God to soften his heart and favor on the situation. i'm praying for you to end up where you need to be!!

I agree, talk with your dad, and be totally honest with him, respect and honor him no matter how he feels or reacts. Follow what you feel the Lord is telling you to do and where He's leading you. You can't go wrong that way! Pray about all things, make sure all the decisions are made from what God says to do. Ask Him to lead you where HE wants you and KNOWS is best for you. I'll be praying, and God bless you hon.

Follow what the Lord tells you to do. As for your dad i will be praying that God makes him understand the situation. Like the others, I believe that despite the circumstances always honor him. Whats important is that you are seeking God and that you know the truth. God bless you and I have faith that everything will work out fine. (Don't worry about it. God says that you can cast your cares on Him and that above all you are not alone.)
