SOME WISDOM ON FINDING THE RIGHT SHARE HOUSE
5 Things a Christian Should Consider When Looking for a Share House in Canberra or Queanbeyan
Looking for a share house can be exciting, but as a Christian, it's worth prayerfully considering more than just the rent and location. Whether you're settling in Canberra or over the border in Queanbeyan, here are five things to keep in mind before signing the lease.
1. Shared Values
Living with others means sharing space, routines, and expectations. Look for housemates who respect your faith—even if they don’t share it. You don’t need to live in a Christian-only house, but being upfront about your lifestyle and boundaries (like not partying hard every weekend) can prevent future tension. "Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?" – Amos 3:3 (NIV)
2. Peaceful Environment
A peaceful home is essential for spiritual and emotional wellbeing. Whether it’s noisy late nights or constant drama, a chaotic space can wear you down. Look for a place that encourages rest, reflection, and room for prayer or Bible study. "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." – Romans 12:18 (NIV)
3. Proximity to Community
Being close to your church family or small group can make a big difference. Check how far the house is from your local Christian community—like Divergent Church Canberra. Regular connection helps keep your faith strong and grounded.
4. Financial Wisdom
Can you realistically afford the rent and bills? Stewardship matters. Look for a place that lets you live within your means, give generously, and save wisely. "The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down." – Proverbs 21:20 (NIV)
5. Room for Witness
Consider the vision of the house for those who do not live there or are not believers.
Let your life reflect Christ. "
Let your light shine before others..." – Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
Choose wisely and pray boldly—your home matters!
