Boldly Humbled: When did it become so hard to talk about Jesus?

We should be sharing our faith with the world, no matter how scary it is.

Boldly Humbled: When did it become so hard to talk about Jesus?
Mindy Edwards

In the world nowadays, many people are shutting out Jesus. They ridicule Christians, sin without remorse, and just live unhealthy lives in general. We live in a world where Christians are considered "Freaky Jesus Kids" and other hurtful names. When did that become okay? When did doing a simple act of kindness become an abnormality? When did it become acceptable to put others down and praise being "petty"? When did everyone become obsessed with being "savage" and "roasting" others? It's not cool to put others down. It's not cool to hurt people. It's definitely not cool to spread hate.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

Our world is so incredibly in need of a Savior. Luckily we have one, though not many people actually acknowledge Him these days. When did it become so hard to talk about Jesus? It shouldn't be, but it is. I know a lot of times I refrain from speaking about my God to others. But that's not okay.

"You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others." - 2 Timothy 2:2 Being a Christian means that we are called to share the gospel with others. We must humble ourselves to God and do His will, and reach other people's hearts.

Finding Jesus is something that we all need. When I'm lost and I can't get a grip, I need to sit down and find my way back to the Lord. "Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." - Psalm 55:22. When I truly need Him to, He takes every bit of stress, despair, frustration and doubt away from me and gives me peace. That's something that we all need. So share that faith. Let it consume you and share it with the world. You never know whose heart you can reach. It may be incredibly scary to talk to others about God, but we must hold on and be bold. Humble yourselves. Reach others. Change the world.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
