What do you find utterly boring? No matter how hard you try, it just doesn’t make you come alive. Write about your struggle with boredom.
In my perspective, Sunday church services are the most boring sessions I’ve ever been to. I have faith Christ and I’m willing to grow in him, however, I was never able to relate to several of the church sermons I have been to. A pastor would just ramble week in and week out for 40 to 50 minutes about his life story and concepts which are dull, repetitive, and boring. In addition to the pastor’s repetitive messages, something I have observed with church pastors is their monotone speaking. There are exceptions, but from my observation, the majority of Asian pastors would just talk about their life stories with a single tone. It felt as though it was their mission to try to bore the soul out of the audience’s body. If now you think sermons are the worst, wait until you hear about youth classes. In adult sessions, churchgoers would at least be able to learn new content. In youth groups, all you do is read the Bible and review basic concepts. Their content is identical every year, with minimal to no changes in teaching style. We would engage in small discussions where participants are unenthusiastic and unwilling to share. Overall, church for me is a waste of my energy and time. I have read about the death and resurrection of Jesus for over 10 years, yet it comes up year after year. I appreciate the pastors for willing share their stories and thoughts with us, but please, at the very least, talk with enthusiasm.
Thoughts:
As a student who needs extra time to process information, I was surprised at the speed I was able to identify what I find boring. Not only was I passionate about my topic, but I was also dying to share my thoughts on this specific issue. Throughout my childhood, I have been criticized by my relatives and peers for disliking and skipping church. This quick write allowed me to express my reasoning of why I dislike church and my point of view towards Sunday services.

Good job. I like how you have basically described what a lot of us have had to face in the past. I like how you are very descriptive and passionate about how you find church boring. But just to let you know, there are churches out there where it is not boring, and you can still grow in your relationship with God. But overall, well done.

Hi Eddie, I understand where you’re coming from and many times I agree with you. I can vividly imagine this experience that you are walking us through. You did a great job showing us the details rather than telling. Overall you did a great job and I’m looking forward to reading many more of your pieces in the future.
