I'd be glad to join!
What challenges do you face when identifying as a Christian?:
Being too silent about it around my peers. I don't mean constantly pushing it on them, but even bringing it up at all is definitely something I shouldn't worry about. I just dislike debating people so much, and you can't really tell who will be fine with it and who will try to pick at your faith because of it.
Yo Sapphire Dragon! Well the good news is, you don't have to worry much about bringing your faith up anymore. In this club, you are free to faithfully boast Jesus and his Word with us. About your peers though, just remember:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Hey,
someone suggested I come here so I did... not sure if I will fit in but I will try ;P

Are you Christian?: Depends who you ask? Technically I am Jewish but I understand other religions...
Denomination: I have no idea xD
Well... thanks?

That's awesome. I've always held a certain fascination and respect for Judaism, and I've read a bit of the Tanakh myself. You're a wonderful addition; Judaism and Christianity are historically connected, yet so unique to each other that we'll definitely learn a lot from each other. Thanks for joining!

Are you Christian?: Yes
Denomination: Choose not to state u.u;;
Challenges: Being a 13 year old transgendered girl brought up with very grounded Christian beliefs, living with my single Father (who is amazingly supportive of me) after the death of my Mom a few years ago and trying to not lose faith in all of this u.u;;
Wow. I'm praying for you right now, Anno! Don't lose faith, and nurture that seed that God has planted in you. Enjoy your stay here. :)

Are you Christian?: Most definitely!
Denomination: Catholic
I was born and raised Catholic, so that's one of the main reasons that I am a Catholic today. I made a decision to stay Catholic because of certain beliefs in the Catholic church that I've only really found (that they all are) here, and which I strongly believe in. Like, other denominations might have some of the beliefs, but the Catholic church has all of them.
Whoo for Catholics *fistbump*
Welcome Evanlyn! :D

Are you a Christian? Proudly so.
Denomination: Church of Christ
Challenges: The majority of my friends are non Christians, so sometimes I struggle to hold true to my beliefs around them. I often find myself cussing or laughing at innappropriate jokes, which makes me feel like a hypocrite. I've had struggles finding a church that fits me. Most of the time I feel treated like an outsider even months after starting attendance. Right now I don't belong to a church home.
Hey there ProfessorDex. I like the fact that even through the tempests of secular peer pressure, you manage to stay firm and somehow committed to calling yourself a Christian. It is this faith to the Lord that I'm sure your Christianity will improve and be true to itself. God bless you, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

Why did you choose your denomination?
I'm a cradle Catholic, which means I was born and raised in the Catholic Church. I intend for it to remain that way: I've studied theology and canon law in pursuit of a deeper knowledge of God. I am an open-minded (but not liberal) person, however, and I take the liberty to explore and even experience (such as entering the temples of) other beliefs as well.
