Totally understand where you’re coming from. I’ll be praying!

Ewwww! Babies too? 🤮

Nope. XD

Yes, I did—I think I responded? Unless I didn’t send it?
It’s cool. I had no idea what it meant until I read the rest of it though. XD

Yay!! I was getting a little worried 😅
Have you graduated yet, by the way? (Congrats if you did!)
This section was good. I think you did a good job of showing the horror of the University executions without making it too descriptive *shudders*
Leon ran the other way, and Julian turned and scrambled down the street nearest to him, praying all the while that everyone would escape.
***
“It will be October soon,” Konner remarked. He, Leon, Julian, Reinhold, and Fox were all gathered after a shared meal.
This Scene break was a little startling. First we’re unsure if they’re going to survive, then we’re in a different scene where it becomes clear everyone is still safe. Maybe just remove that “praying all the while…”?
I really like Leon’s speech.

No new sections?

What I’m asking is, as readers, did you get anything out of this in this book at this time in this place, or did you just read it more to get over it to the next part of the story?
I agree with Keilah and Linus—I think you should leave it in, but maybe have Julian encourage the believers more by reminding them of their future hope.

Praying!!!

Gotcha. You might want to try to clarify the definition a little more, but I would see what others like Linus think.
What does your signature mean, by the way?

New chapters! I’m getting a little short on my supply so I’ll probably start posting singles instead of doubles every week soon. The past few weeks have been busy, but hopefully I’ll start writing again soon.

I like how Konner and the others are afraid of the Empire. That seems realistic—I would be surprised if in a time like this, all the Christians were courageous enough to defy the government always. Julian’s speech is good. Very rousing. A few parts didn’t make sense.
“If we make decisions based on survival, and only on the ability to be free and safe, and say “Well, this is the best we can do,” mix idol worship with Christianity, or perhaps just don’t speak out against it. “Just shut your mouth and survive, at least they give us permission to believe in God.”
I think just the structure of this sentence confused me. It doesn’t seem to be leading anywhere.
The word confession has two parts. The first means, ‘in perfect agreement, in perfect reflection’. When you look into a still water, you see yourself. If you move, the reflection moves. That is what this means. The second part is ‘Jesus Christ, the Word of God’. So, confession means when the Bible moves, or God’s Word moves, or Jesus Christ moves, we match His stride. We walk where He walks. If He goes this way, we go this way. We must be in perfect agreement. That is true confession, and we are called to confess Christ. If you are the true church, you are in agreement with Jesus.”
Also, this. Where is he getting the two meanings of confession from?
Altogether, good section.
