I have a question...does anyone come from a non-religious family where your met with awkwardness because of your devout faith. My husband and I are both very religious but his family is not. I feel like we are always disassociated with them because of this.

Recently his father has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and I feel like he could benefit or find comfort in the words of the lord and would like to approach him about it but am not sure as to how to approach the situation.

I'm interested in hearing anyones similar experience with this kind of family dynamic as well as any ideas as to how to introduce my father-in-law or at least open the door to religion.

thank you
