According to pewresearch.com, 63% of US teenage girls ranging from the ages of 13-17 attend religious services and identify as Christian. For Frankie Hadsall, she is proud to say she is part of that 63%.

Frankie understands how difficult being a Christian woman in today’s society is. All the opinions being thrown at her can draw her away from what is important in life. Frankie shares her experience with social media and the ways she stays connected with her faith.

“The most important thing to me is Jesus because I never worry about relying on Him, and He helps me through everything no matter what,” Hadsall says.

Frankie grew up going to church, but her growth of faith didn’t bloom until the summer going into 8th grade. However, her being able to shut out the opinions of the world and focus on God didn’t begin until she started her freshman year.

“I kinda just told myself that everyone has their own insecurities, and as long as I’m happy with something then others shouldn’t judge it.”

In Frankie’s past experiences, always focusing on others’ opinions really would stress her out about how she looked because she didn’t want people to judge her, so instead of focusing on herself, she would focus on what others would think of her. Eventually, she just stopped caring.

“I know I will always care, so I can’t say I don’t care at all, but I kinda just let go of it and try not to worry. Jesus helps me a lot because I apply things that he says about me.”
