  • Church in Phoenix

    It's been a rough few years for me, I went through a lot of stuff and even had to leave my homeland (California!) I'm living in Phoenix, AZ all by myself, hundreds of miles from family. I would like to find a church to go to, but because of my social anxiety disorder, it's incredibly hard. I have tried to attend one that is right down the road from me, but every time I get ready to go, I get a severe panic attack.

    I'm at a turning point in my life right now. Like I said, the last 5-7 years have been a rough patch. Those who know me know I carry a lot of baggage. I'm kind of adrift here and rudderless. Any prayers on my behalf or advice would be greatly appreciated

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      There are certainly forces which would work to keep you from church. Would it help to think of standing up against the forces of evil to get over your anxiety? I'm just spitballing here.
      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

        I pray that you will get the courage to venture out and find a good church home and make some local friends.

        Hammy, I have known you for around 15 years now. You are a very nice and lovable person. You have nothing to fear. People naturally like you. Look at all the people around here that do!

          Never forget that you'll always have friends here and we'll be praying for you.

          I'm always still in trouble again

            Watch out for that guy that used to be on T-Web before the crash claiming that God was speaking to him and wrote a book about it. It's probably in all the Phoenix libraries, if they didn't throw it away. What was his name?

                  That's the name. Yes, he seemed nice. But he couldn't understand why nobody believed him.
