Is Christianity just an emotional crutch?
In this week’s episode of Faith On Campus I interview Shaun Liew, an international student from Malaysia studying Psychology. When Shaun first moved to Australia for uni he felt pretty isolated and was having a tough time. A new friend of his shared a gospel outline called ‘Two Ways To Live’ with him, and he was intrigued. He started coming along to Christian Union events, and eventually came to put his faith in Christ.
In Shaun’s experience, his new relationship with Jesus gave him a perspective and stability that made a huge difference in dealing with the challenges of being in a new country. But he’s adamant that Christianity is not just some emotional crutch. In his own words,
“I’ve realised that a lot of people think Christianity is just an emotional crutch. But it’s so much more than that. I believe that it’s the truth, the purpose of our existence, and the very reason God made us to live under his rule… People need to know more about it. I guess that’s partly why I’m so keen to share my story with people, and to tell my non-Christian friends about who Jesus actually is.”
