It's the biggest goal actually. I know women who Just went back to work because they wanted a easier life. Yes, working outside your house with strangers is easy. Staying at home, making a house into a home and caring for your family is worth anything! So please: "Say with pride: I am a mom and housewife!" If I was in that position I would go around and tell everyone whether he wants it doesn't want to hear: "Hello, I'm Leyla and I am a stay at home mom!" ♡♡♡
Beautiful, blessed couple ❤ Don't underestimate your "stay-at-home mom" position 😊 You have the most important job in the world - raising little humans and taking care of the house 🏠
Anna Ovchinnikov - I was looking through the comments hoping someone picked up on that and encouraged her to not sell herself short. I’m also a stay at home mom of an 18 month old girl (with I pray many more to come). People don’t seem to understand it is a lot of work. I get the “you’re so lucky you get to just stay home” comment a ton. I am so blessed to be able to raise Grace myself, but my husband and I both worked very hard to get to that point and saved and budgeted. Plus, we purchased a two family home. I manage the property and with the incoming rent we only have to pay peanuts towards the mortgage.
Being a stay at home Mom is a choice for a woman. It’s a selfless and humbling choice. Your children come first, you are raising them and there is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. Like most things in life, people that are jealous are usually people that will be critical, rude and mean spirited. If you choose to have children, raising your own children is and should be your focus. Who you bring into their lives shapes and polishes them. I’ve watched this in my own life and if you’re not the person doing the shaping, you can see many qualities that you didn’t teach. That can be devastating.
@@soniasteckle5548 My understanding that, in the Christian faith, God, spouse, then children are the order. Not children first, but there''s nothing wrong with being a sahm.
It is really nice to find a good Christian family on you tube. I honestly didn't know that Mennonites believed in salvation through grace...I thought they were all salvation by works. We are Christians as well, so I'm sure I will enjoy following you here on YT. Thanks for sharing your faith in this video. I enjoy all types of videos, so whatever you enjoy doing, I will enjoy watching. Thank you!
Yes, I kind of thought they were a little more works based and did not believe in being born again. I am happy💓 to know this because my daughter-in-law was raised Mennonite. She is quiet about her faith.
I use the KJV also but I also like NKJV too. The only problem that I have with other versions is that they leave out some scriptures and in the book of Revelation it states not to add to or take away from Gods word, so I stick with the KJV.
You two are so nice. I live in Israel and there are mostly two faiths here. The religious people here do not socialize at all with others and so when I see a religious person (specifically the religions that require special dress), I just believe they are all that way. I love your lifestyle and I hope you can share more of it. I think Amish/Mennonite lifestyle is a great way to live and to raise kids.
Hi Nick! Lovely to meet you! Thank you both for sharing about your life and your views. "Just" a stay-at-home mom - truly the most important occupation! Actually many occupations: Teacher, caregiver, cook, housekeeper, decorator, nurse, landscaper, home economist, and most of all mom and beloved companion. God bless your marriage and your family. You two are great together.
You are a 💕sweet couple. My daughter-in-law is Mennonite and lives in PA which is where I was from. (We are retired in Florida 21 years now.) My daughter-in-law isn't able to go to church because my son is probably angry at God and rejects everything about our faith probably because he was raised Catholic. I converted to Catholic because of marriage, but then left the Catholic Church. (They are too works based and they are so lost!). In 2005 I was born again and I would like my daughter-in-law to be able to worship and take her teen daughter to be in church on a regular basis. They both need it desperately. I wish some of you would please pray for Kristen. I love her dearly like she were my own flesh and blood daughter. It wouldn't hurt to pray that my son stops rejecting God too! Thank you if you pray.💕 I am so glad I found your channel. It helps me feel closer to my daughter-in-law. She is a lot like you. God bless you and your sweet family.
I am a new subscriber and could absolutely NOT stop to post a comment. Let me stop here and introduce myself...I was raised in the Air Force so I am accustomed to people of different ethnicities and/or religions. I am personally a Southern Baptist. I feel an affinity with anyone who teaches the plan of salvation and obviously your church agrees. You touched on the subject of the You Tube and what you like about it...well, I have found another reason to the many. In all of the places I have lived and the people I have met I was not blessed to meet any one of your faith. Your video was added to my list of subscribers because I have been watching videos regarding cleaning. Several were interesting, I.e. your trip to Texas so I was hooked. Please tell your husband, I found myself mentally "amening" him when he was describing the Lord as the leader of your faith and you as Christians first. Now I have found a new channel to binge.
I am with the no name church where we meet I homes. So nice to see someone on RUclips that believes in Jesus Christ and show how normal your life is. Thanks for sharing.
I married a man that had lived in Berne, Indiana, and we moved there when we got married. We lived in town for a couple of months, across the street from the grocery store with the hitching posts. Then we moved to the country outside of town. We could walk from our backyard to Ohio. All of our neighbors were Amish and I felt right at home. I've been told that I could be Amish except that I have electricity and drive a car. I'm thinking that maybe I should check out the Mennonite church. I've really enjoyed watching your videos.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share some of your lives with all of us. I especially appreciated your testimony of your faith, I think we all need to be more willing to share what we believe with others. When I was growing up my mother worked with a fine Mennonite lady who was such a hard worker and so sweet and kind. My mother, who was a cleaning fanatic really appreciated her beautiful home. One of the reasons I like RUclips is the chance to get to know other people and enjoy their different lives. Blessings to you and especially to your beautiful happy children. Look forward to more from you.
I just discovered your channel today & have been binge watching! Long story short, I've been learning everyday about Christianity and reading the Bible (grew up with 0 religious focus unfortunately) but God saved me from a very dark place in my life. I'm trying to learn more about the Mennonite culture because thus far I feel aligned with the beliefs/practices. You and your husband remind me so much of the dynamic I have with my husband. You both are so precious and it's such a blessing to see a healthy couple like yours. I hope one day you two will get to experience having a little girl! My husband and I are planning for baby #2 and currently have a little boy. 🌷🌷🌷 looking forward to your videos!!! Thank you for being such a breath of fresh air to the RUclips world
I enjoyed your chat .You have a great personality. I like your husband 's humor. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Raising children is a big job. Much success on your video's. 💕
Yay! I was waiting for this one! Fellow Mennonite here... :) some of the stuff was so relatable.. like when Andrew asked me to marry him then wanted to know how soon I was like "I need at least 3 months!" And we didn't get into the Dave Ramsey budgeting until about 6 years after we were married & like you we were both skeptical,didn't like the word budget but after we read the books & did some online research we both were on board & wished we had done it sooner! Anyway it was fun to get to know you a bit better! And I enjoy all your videos,hauls & home decor are my faves! You really have a gift for decorating!!
So refreshing to watch persons like yourselves with such good moral standards. Don't know much about Mennonites although we have a handful that occupy one our Islands, but they stay to themselves. I am black woman from The Bahamas and just started following. Continue the good work
A stay at home mom is perfect! I was able to take time off when our sons were born years ago. I would do it again! As a Respiratory Therapist by education I returned to work when the boys were older. My dear hubby and I juggled schedules. He is a gem! We pitched in together at home,and tried to always work opposite shifts! The Lord helped us with MANY challenges! We are retired now and are so much freer to help my 96 year mom and my grandkids! God has been faithful, forgiving, loves us! Our born again walk began 1972! Ups and downs for sure yet still MARRIED 50 years this year! I love your channel! 💜
@@poodlegirl55 Their church got too small (lost members; Amish move frequently,) so they decided to join with likeminded people nearby, who happened to be Mennonite.
Amish do not have electricity and the majority do not drive. There are many different types of Amish as well as mennonites and within each group they have their own rules. There is a sect of Mennonite who do not drive cars.
I am a SAHM as well. My husband takes out the trash and does the yard work. I do everything else. He works full time so I take care of the home he provides for us.
@@LynetteYoder, I was a SAHM also my household duties were the same as yours but I didn't mow the grass. Now that we are retired & older I need help in our home because I have 40 years of spinal stenosis & arthritis. After all these years of doing no housework my husband almost refuses to do the 1 thing I need him to do the most. That is vacuum & moping our floors. He Loves outdoors work. I really enjoy your channel. BTW, Nic has a great personality & humor. I can say the same about mine of 48 years.
Hi! I really enjoyed this video. I'm a Christian too. LDS (Mormon) is my denomination. I feel that a lot of people don't know we are Christians and view as differently than we are, similar to how people might view Mennonites differently than you are. But we are all Christians and love our Savior and are striving to follow His example.
New subscriber here! I have been watching your videos for the past couple days now and I’m hooked. You are very intriguing! It’s so refreshing to watch you and as a fellow Christian, I love that you are so proud of your faith! You’re my current favourite RUclipsr! 💖
You are such a cute couple. Love your testimony for Christ. Was glad I found your channel. So refreshing to hear your walk of faith. God bless you and your family.
I had one of your cooking videos pop up on my you tube feed this morning and watched it. Sooo I’ve been binge watching your channel on & off all day. You two are so adorable together and your children are beautiful! So glad I came across your channel. Looking forward to seeing more. God bless
I just came across your channel by accident. I read some of the comments, and I have to say that I don't have any questions about the way you dress. (I think it is definitely a better option than some of the half naked women walking around). What I do question is this absolute obsession with cleaning. I don't understand that at all.😜Just teasing... I have great respect for your household skills. Mine are TERRIBLE! 😁😁😁😁
I'm enjoying discovering your family and your fun videos. I'm a nonreligious person who loves God, and respects and admires sweet faith like yours. Oh and I love modest dressing and sewing. Your at home outfits are extra cute! Looking forward to more.
MissMargaret I grew up in Lancaster County, PA. I had the same thought. I knew as soon as I saw the thumbnail from the first video RUclips recommended to me
Im from Romania - 87% of the country's population is Christian Orthodox, and the remaining percent are Jewish, Muslims, atheists, and other Christians. i don't know which denominations exactly but my first time seeing a Mennonite was about 2 weeks back, on the street. It was actually a group of tourists from UK [by accent] and i was wondering what type of Christians they were. and then, a day or 2 later, i found this channel. o.o Ok, romania is way smaller than US, and like pointed out we are pretty homogeneous from a religious point of view. im sure there are may other people who are in my situation... ;) and think of people in Asia, maybe Africa too... and many other European countries..
I came across your channel through a youtube suggestion...I like your positive, relaxed and appreciative outlook on life. When I was visiting the US many years ago, I almost visited an Amish settling in Pennsylvania - unfortunately the trip was cancelled. These days I am glad to be able to learn more about the lifestyle of Mennonites and Amish through channels like yours. Well done & Greetings from Germany. :)
I have to say Lynette that you are both a stay at home mom and a working mom. RUclips is a very important job and you do it so well! You are honoring God with his message and sharing your faith. I admire you so much. 👍💕
You’re such a lovely couple x and please don’t say your “ I’m just a stay at home mum” being a mum is a full time job and an awesome and very important calling x God bless you and your family x
Such a lovely family gathering for Thanksgiving. I love seeing generations gathering together. The singing was so precious. We have a large old Mennonite community in St Jacobs, Ontario. I would love to visit Holmes area one day. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Lynette! I'm a middle aged lady who stumbled upon your channel when searching for. Christmas decorating videos. I really loved yours and I love your channel! I'm from Wayne County Ohio and really appreciate your testimony.
I just stumbled upon your channel and found this video. I just LOVE the way you and your husband are together. You can feel the love and friendship that you have for one another through the screen. It is sweet. Hope you and your family have a Blessed day.
I just found you and I am completely charmed. It is so refreshing to see a Christian couple, and to hear that the things I am watching on RUclips line up with what other Christ-followers are enjoying. Although I watch a lot of makeup channels, but my son and I love fail videos and Daily News channel with guilty Labrador retrievers and crazy cat videos. I too live DIOAD, Love Meg, How Jen Does It and I watch a ton of quilting RUclipsrs too. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, I know sometimes it's uncomfortable to open up to possible haters or have people scoff at your beliefs. I am fascinated by Amish and Mennonite communities, because of quilting and the baking. I have to go to our Mennonite community, Walnut Hill, FL, to get walnut flavoring for my fruitcake. Of course I always pick up butter, cheese and lots of jams and jellies, that is so not one of my gifts!
I attended a Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va, for nursing degree. Wonderful, hard working community of people. Perhaps they have a stronger stand in their beliefs, which should put some of us to shame for not?
My Great Grandparents on my Mom’s side of the family were Mennonites! I have those Mennonite roots from way back! They came to Montana to homestead! I believe it was during the depression a lot of the homesteaders left the area, but my Grandparents (my Moms’s parents touched it out)! My Grandparents raised their family in the Nazarene Church, as by then the local Mennonite Church had closed! I am a born again Christian & I’ve been involved with a variety of Christian Churches! I attend an Alliance (CM&A) Church at present! I recently discovered your Channel & I’m really enjoying it!
Love your channel. I am a believer in Jesus as well and a Baptist Pastor's wife. It is nice to see other Christians on RUclips that put the Lord first and value His Word! Much success!
Hi Lyn! I know what you mean by “ community “ in RUclips! I love the way one can find people with same/ similar tastes, points of view... that would probably have struggled finding close by since many of us live so far away 🤗 For example I currently live in Germany but I’ve been following for years the same youtubers you have mentioned 😮I’m also a SAHM and RUclips has helped me a lot!
OMG, I love how you were against the word budget. Us, too! Almost 30 years in we have a budget and we are always working on it. We would be great friends!
I just found your channel today ! And i appreciate the fact you freely express your love for God! Ive watched about 5 videos! Blessings to you and your family 😊
Hi! New subscriber here. When I lived back east in the Hudson Valley we had a community of Mennonites and I know how nice they are. It's so refreshing to find people who have the same Christian beliefs.
Oh man, you guys are adorable. Just found your channel. I grew up Church of the Brethren, and my grandparents were German Baptist. We had Mennonite friends. Love your videos! I love cleaning as well so it’s fun to watch your cleaning videos! Great channel and you guys are so cute. God bless you!
Just found your channel and really enjoying it. You're husband is a hoot you are so lovely together. Anybody LESS oppressed looking I've yet to come across. I'm not particularly religious but to those who put their negative statements out there, I would remind them of something I learned in school "JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED!"
SOOOO... we have lots! of Mennonites in Canada! I was brought up between Quebec and Ontario and thought that Mennonites were all of the Amish persuasion! I moved to British Columbia in my later teens and met Mennonites who looked and behaved like those in my church! I came from a Ukranian background on my father's side so was used to some of the cooking. I ended up working with special needs for 20 years with M.C.C. and with seniors as a nursing assistant another 5 years in a seniors complex run by the Mennonite Brethren Mennonites. My children did their schooling from K-12 at a Mennonite school and my husband became a Christian through a substitue teacher at the same Mennonite school when he first immigrated from Italy! It is interesing how his people group as positively blessed my family! Thank you for sharing your lives with us! p.s. We have never had cable tv as we wanted to save money! We would check out videos/DVD's from the public librry prior to the computer or watch the news with "rabbit ears" to keep in touch!
I’m a new subscriber. I was born and raised Catholic, left the faith as a teenager and was born again about 5 years ago. Now, I live very much like you, no TVs, I believe in living by the words of Yeshua, (Jesus) and those of the Bible. I don’t know how you ended up on my feed, but I’m so glad you did! I’ve watched, oh, maybe 5 videos, this being the first with your husband. And I’m so happy for you two! He’s almost more outgoing than you are, but still with the love of Our Lord! I also live in Ohio, but wayyyy up north in Toledo. I’m actually hoping to buy land and homestead, but we’ll see, I’m getting a little too old for that perhaps! Thanks for your content! You and your family are just a joy!
Lynette and Yoder seem to be too common Mennonite names. So common that I thought maybe you would know some of my family. 😂🤣 The Mennonite community is larger than most would think tho! I live in York Co, Pa, and obviously an hour from Lancaster Co, Pa. Mostly all of my family is Mennonite and I grew up Brethren. My great Grandma knew some Pennsylvania Dutch. My Mom and Dad actually chose to leave the church when I was younger. Who knows if I would’ve chosen to stay or not if they had stayed. Either way, I’ve always felt more at home in and still have several friends from the brethren and Mennonite community. Y’all seem so down to earth and like some pretty cool peeps. 😊😉 I actually got told about your channel by a friend of mine who is in Bible School down in Orlando.
Love your channel! Born and raised in Cincinnati, but have been in Florida for the last 17 years. Such a sweet and humble couple! Thanks for sharing!!!
I just subscribed to your channel and I love your relationship. Some people don't understand that it's about your relationship with Christ, not how you look. I believe in Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection. I believe that He's coming back. Period. Thank you for sharing this (and all the other videos). 💜💜
So cool to run into this video! You guys are great! I live in Pennsylvania! I have A LOT of neighbors around here that are Mennonites. Most of them are horse and buggy Mennonites. My dad actually works in a steel shop for Mennonites.
I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your values and lifestyle. My great-grandmother was mennonite and my great-grandfather was an apostolic pastor. They never had tv in their home. Blessings to you and your family. I like Catherine Do it on a dime too!😁
This was so fun to watch! Thanks for doing this video, I'm a new sub and loved getting to know you both better, keep up your great videos 😊 my husband and I are also Dave Ramsey/ budgeting fans, it's a great thing to work together on
Thank you for your RUclips work! Some of my happy family memories are in southern Ohio Amish country. Your videos make my afternoon coffee time happier! 😊
Loved this video, you are just regular people to me. And now I know a little more about your believes. I am a Christian, i sure wish our son was a toddler again, cause they grow so fast. Nick needs to do more videos, cause he has a really good sense of humour. I stumbled upon these utube channels by accident. And I just love them, I am way behind in my tv shows. And I never even realized that you don’t have a tv. I’m rambling now. God bless
This was great!!! I live up in Northern Ohio about 20 minutes from the Amish settlement in Middlefield. Also a christian! Praise God. I was sent over by James and Lea!
Loved this q&a, I just came upon your channel well the one with the cleaning I think it was recent. But I was like she seems like a nice person to fallow and found a q&a. I'm gonna check out some more vids.
thanks for letting us get to know you better. looking forward to seeing more great videos. i turned to Psalms 51 as you were talking about it and it ministered to me. I pray you all have a wonderful day! btw.....I'm a buckeye too :)
Loved hearing you both speak of your faith and how you were brought up , when I first tuned into your channel I though Amish but wasn't sure , thanks for explaining ,you are a lovely family and your two little boys are so cute . God bless❤️
This was such a great video!! Thank you Nic and Lynette for answering my budget question...I felt like you were speaking directly to me...awesome!! I would love to see this type of video again in the future!! Janel in NJ :)

Yes, I kind of thought they were a little more works based and did not believe in being born again. I am happy💓 to know this because my daughter-in-law was raised Mennonite. She is quiet about her faith.
Mennonites, as with other Anabaptist Christians, believe in a faith that works (see James 2:24, Matthew 7:21, Philippians 2:12).
I use the KJV also but I also like NKJV too. The only problem that I have with other versions is that they leave out some scriptures and in the book of Revelation it states not to add to or take away from Gods word, so I stick with the KJV.

You guys are so equally yoked! What a blessing! I enjoyed your Q&A, thank you for sharing your story with us:)
And being equally yoked is such a big deal! Someone taught you well! I didn’t really understand that in my younger years

My dear hubby and I juggled schedules. He is a gem! We pitched in together at home,and tried to always work opposite shifts! The Lord helped us with MANY challenges! We are retired now and are so much freer to help my 96 year mom and my grandkids! God has been faithful, forgiving, loves us! Our born again walk began 1972! Ups and downs for sure yet still MARRIED 50 years this year! I love your channel! 💜
I am a Christian and glad to see someone on you tube that is not ashamed to speak of God publicly. I also live in Ohio
+Create With Cindy ❤️
Agreed!
Would love a video on how/why you left the Amish community.
She answered that in another video. She said her childhood Amish church decided to change to Mennonite at one point.
@@poodlegirl55 Their church got too small (lost members; Amish move frequently,) so they decided to join with likeminded people nearby, who happened to be Mennonite.
So: [almost] ALL Amish are members of the Mennonite Church, but most Mennonites are not Amish.
Amish do not have electricity and the majority do not drive. There are many different types of Amish as well as mennonites and within each group they have their own rules. There is a sect of Mennonite who do not drive cars.
Just rewatched this for a second time because i just love it! Y’all are so sweet
I love the fun personality in your marriage 😊
Glad you "took the plunge" on RUclips, love watching your channel!!!
I am a SAHM as well. My husband takes out the trash and does the yard work. I do everything else. He works full time so I take care of the home he provides for us.
Jessaleigh Wonderful! I too feel like I can do most of the things here since Nic works a ton!
@@LynetteYoder, I was a SAHM also my household duties were the same as yours but I didn't mow the grass. Now that we are retired & older I need help in our home because I have 40 years of spinal stenosis & arthritis. After all these years of doing no housework my husband almost refuses to do the 1 thing I need him to do the most. That is vacuum & moping our floors. He Loves outdoors work. I really enjoy your channel. BTW, Nic has a great personality & humor. I can say the same about mine of 48 years.
Hi! I really enjoyed this video. I'm a Christian too. LDS (Mormon) is my denomination. I feel that a lot of people don't know we are Christians and view as differently than we are, similar to how people might view Mennonites differently than you are. But we are all Christians and love our Savior and are striving to follow His example.
Sharon Thibault Me too! Aussie LDS!
New subscriber here! I have been watching your videos for the past couple days now and I’m hooked. You are very intriguing! It’s so refreshing to watch you and as a fellow Christian, I love that you are so proud of your faith! You’re my current favourite RUclipsr! 💖
You are such a cute couple. Love your testimony for Christ. Was glad I found your channel. So refreshing to hear your walk of faith. God bless you and your family.
I had one of your cooking videos pop up on my you tube feed this morning and watched it. Sooo I’ve been binge watching your channel on & off all day. You two are so adorable together and your children are beautiful! So glad I came across your channel. Looking forward to seeing more. God bless
I just came across your channel by accident. I read some of the comments, and I have to say that I don't have any questions about the way you dress. (I think it is definitely a better option than some of the half naked women walking around). What I do question is this absolute obsession with cleaning. I don't understand that at all.😜Just teasing... I have great respect for your household skills. Mine are TERRIBLE! 😁😁😁😁
I'm enjoying discovering your family and your fun videos. I'm a nonreligious person who loves God, and respects and admires sweet faith like yours. Oh and I love modest dressing and sewing. Your at home outfits are extra cute! Looking forward to more.
Your channel showed up on my recommended and I can’t stop watching. So happy I found you! Seems like a wonderful family.
Thanks for doing this video! It was fun getting to know y'all :)
My family is from Pennsylvania, so I’m thinking “Who didn’t know they were Mennonite?” Funny how regions have different religions.
MissMargaret I grew up in Lancaster County, PA. I had the same thought. I knew as soon as I saw the thumbnail from the first video RUclips recommended to me
I'm from Southern Maryland and thought the exact same thing.
Im from Romania - 87% of the country's population is Christian Orthodox, and the remaining percent are Jewish, Muslims, atheists, and other Christians. i don't know which denominations exactly but my first time seeing a Mennonite was about 2 weeks back, on the street. It was actually a group of tourists from UK [by accent] and i was wondering what type of Christians they were. and then, a day or 2 later, i found this channel. o.o
Ok, romania is way smaller than US, and like pointed out we are pretty homogeneous from a religious point of view. im sure there are may other people who are in my situation... ;) and think of people in Asia, maybe Africa too... and many other European countries..
MissMargaret I’m from Reading PA, as soon as I saw her dress I knew they were Mennonite.
I didn't and I was like do I ask? Lol people are offended so easily 😉
I came across your channel through a youtube suggestion...I like your positive, relaxed and appreciative outlook on life. When I was visiting the US many years ago, I almost visited an Amish settling in Pennsylvania - unfortunately the trip was cancelled. These days I am glad to be able to learn more about the lifestyle of Mennonites and Amish through channels like yours. Well done & Greetings from Germany. :)
Lol. I love your husband!! I love his humor. You both are great together ❤️
I have to say Lynette that you are both a stay at home mom and a working mom. RUclips is a very important job and you do it so well! You are honoring God with his message and sharing your faith. I admire you so much. 👍💕
Your warmth and love for each other is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!!!
You’re such a lovely couple x and please don’t say your “ I’m just a stay at home mum” being a mum is a full time job and an awesome and very important calling x God bless you and your family x
I love how down to earth you both seem. So nice.
Such a lovely family gathering for Thanksgiving. I love seeing generations gathering together. The singing was so precious.
We have a large old Mennonite community in St Jacobs, Ontario.
I would love to visit Holmes area one day. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Lynette! I'm a middle aged lady who stumbled upon your channel when searching for. Christmas decorating videos. I really loved yours and I love your channel! I'm from Wayne County Ohio and really appreciate your testimony.
I just stumbled upon your channel and found this video. I just LOVE the way you and your husband are together. You can feel the love and friendship that you have for one another through the screen. It is sweet. Hope you and your family have a Blessed day.
I just found you and I am completely charmed. It is so refreshing to see a Christian couple, and to hear that the things I am watching on RUclips line up with what other Christ-followers are enjoying. Although I watch a lot of makeup channels, but my son and I love fail videos and Daily News channel with guilty Labrador retrievers and crazy cat videos. I too live DIOAD, Love Meg, How Jen Does It and I watch a ton of quilting RUclipsrs too. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, I know sometimes it's uncomfortable to open up to possible haters or have people scoff at your beliefs. I am fascinated by Amish and Mennonite communities, because of quilting and the baking. I have to go to our Mennonite community, Walnut Hill, FL, to get walnut flavoring for my fruitcake. Of course I always pick up butter, cheese and lots of jams and jellies, that is so not one of my gifts!
You are such a lovely couple! I can see you both enjoy and appreciate each other. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to seeing ALL your videos! 😊🇨🇦
this was so fun. great to get to know you better. the two of you together are so cute. you seem like you have a lot of fun together
Robin Johnson 😄 thanks! He keeps me laughing!
@@LynetteYoder ....which is also very important!
I find your channel so refreshing.
You guys are such a cute, fun couple! Loved getting to know both of you!
I attended a Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va, for nursing degree. Wonderful, hard working community of people. Perhaps they have a stronger stand in their beliefs, which should put some of us to shame for not?
What an adorable couple you make! LOVE how you share your faith! I’m so happy to have found your channel!
Loved this! Definitely add some vlogs in the mix :)
I'm a born again christian too. I love Jesus!!!
Shaunalea 82 💞
Amen me too!!!!!
Amen girlie 🌿 I am also.
Hahahaha 😂 omgosh. Your husband is funny. God bless you both.
great video!!! it was nice getting to know a little about you and your family. Thanks for sharing!!!
My Great Grandparents on my Mom’s side of the family were Mennonites! I have those Mennonite roots from way back! They came to Montana to homestead! I believe it was during the depression a lot of the homesteaders left the area, but my Grandparents (my Moms’s parents touched it out)! My Grandparents raised their family in the Nazarene Church, as by then the local Mennonite Church had closed! I am a born again Christian & I’ve been involved with a variety of Christian Churches! I attend an Alliance (CM&A) Church at present!
I recently discovered your Channel & I’m really enjoying it!
Love your channel. I am a believer in Jesus as well and a Baptist Pastor's wife. It is nice to see other Christians on RUclips that put the Lord first and value His Word! Much success!
Hi Lyn! I know what you mean by “ community “ in RUclips! I love the way one can find people with same/ similar tastes, points of view... that would probably have struggled finding close by since many of us live so far away 🤗 For example I currently live in Germany but I’ve been following for years the same youtubers you have mentioned 😮I’m also a SAHM and RUclips has helped me a lot!
First time watching enjoyed !! I have subscribed!!
Have a blessed day 🙏💛🙏
OMG, I love how you were against the word budget. Us, too! Almost 30 years in we have a budget and we are always working on it. We would be great friends!
I just found your channel today ! And i appreciate the fact you freely express your love for God! Ive watched about 5 videos! Blessings to you and your family 😊
Dave Ramsey is great! My daughter used to work for his organization. Great group of people.
Hi! New subscriber here. When I lived back east in the Hudson Valley we had a community of Mennonites and I know how nice they are. It's so refreshing to find people who have the same Christian beliefs.
💕
We used to live in Indiana among the Amish and Mennonites. You're a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing your lives. :-)
Oh man, you guys are adorable. Just found your channel. I grew up Church of the Brethren, and my grandparents were German Baptist. We had Mennonite friends. Love your videos! I love cleaning as well so it’s fun to watch your cleaning videos! Great channel and you guys are so cute. God bless you!
What a great video- loved hearing both sets of answers. You two are perfect for one another.
cute couple, came across your channel few days ago, really liking your videos.
Just found your channel and really enjoying it. You're husband is a hoot you are so lovely together. Anybody LESS oppressed looking I've yet to come across. I'm not particularly religious but to those who put their negative statements out there, I would remind them of something I learned in school "JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED!"
SOOOO... we have lots! of Mennonites in Canada! I was brought up between Quebec and Ontario and thought that Mennonites were all of the Amish persuasion! I moved to British Columbia in my later teens and met Mennonites who looked and behaved like those in my church! I came from a Ukranian background on my father's side so was used to some of the cooking. I ended up working with special needs for 20 years with M.C.C. and with seniors as a nursing assistant another 5 years in a seniors complex run by the Mennonite Brethren Mennonites. My children did their schooling from K-12 at a Mennonite school and my husband became a Christian through a substitue teacher at the same Mennonite school when he first immigrated from Italy! It is interesing how his people group as positively blessed my family! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
p.s. We have never had cable tv as we wanted to save money! We would check out videos/DVD's from the public librry prior to the computer or watch the news with "rabbit ears" to keep in touch!
I’m a new subscriber. I was born and raised Catholic, left the faith as a teenager and was born again about 5 years ago. Now, I live very much like you, no TVs, I believe in living by the words of Yeshua, (Jesus) and those of the Bible. I don’t know how you ended up on my feed, but I’m so glad you did! I’ve watched, oh, maybe 5 videos, this being the first with your husband. And I’m so happy for you two! He’s almost more outgoing than you are, but still with the love of Our Lord! I also live in Ohio, but wayyyy up north in Toledo. I’m actually hoping to buy land and homestead, but we’ll see, I’m getting a little too old for that perhaps! Thanks for your content! You and your family are just a joy!
Adorable! Thanks for sharing and having courage to speak your beliefs!
Thanks for the video . Nice getting to know you guys a little bit better !
Lynette and Yoder seem to be too common Mennonite names. So common that I thought maybe you would know some of my family. 😂🤣 The Mennonite community is larger than most would think tho!
I live in York Co, Pa, and obviously an hour from Lancaster Co, Pa. Mostly all of my family is Mennonite and I grew up Brethren. My great Grandma knew some Pennsylvania Dutch. My Mom and Dad actually chose to leave the church when I was younger. Who knows if I would’ve chosen to stay or not if they had stayed. Either way, I’ve always felt more at home in and still have several friends from the brethren and Mennonite community.
Y’all seem so down to earth and like some pretty cool peeps. 😊😉 I actually got told about your channel by a friend of mine who is in Bible School down in Orlando.
Love your channel! Born and raised in Cincinnati, but have been in Florida for the last 17 years. Such a sweet and humble couple! Thanks for sharing!!!
I just subscribed to your channel and I love your relationship. Some people don't understand that it's about your relationship with Christ, not how you look. I believe in Jesus Christ's death, burial and resurrection. I believe that He's coming back. Period. Thank you for sharing this (and all the other videos). 💜💜
So cool to run into this video! You guys are great! I live in Pennsylvania! I have A LOT of neighbors around here that are Mennonites. Most of them are horse and buggy Mennonites. My dad actually works in a steel shop for Mennonites.
Taylor Jean That's so cool!! We do have some of the horse and buggy mennonites fairly close by as well!
Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us and your time
There's no script and that is awesome. Love y'all's energy and positiveness.
you remind me of the Penticostals back in Romania....God bless you.xx
I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your values and lifestyle. My great-grandmother was mennonite and my great-grandfather was an apostolic pastor. They never had tv in their home. Blessings to you and your family. I like Catherine Do it on a dime too!😁
Awwwww you two are such a cute couple!! Thank you for sharing with us and it is wonderful that you share your life with us :D
I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. We are independent baptist. I live in PA in Snyder County in the middle of Amish and Mennonite community.
This was so fun to watch! Thanks for doing this video, I'm a new sub and loved getting to know you both better, keep up your great videos 😊 my husband and I are also Dave Ramsey/ budgeting fans, it's a great thing to work together on
Great channel. Beautiful couple!
You are such a lovely couple!! Just started watching your vids and here I am going back to older videos to catch up!!
Thank you for your RUclips work! Some of my happy family memories are in southern Ohio Amish country. Your videos make my afternoon coffee time happier! 😊
love this! catching up on some of your new videos since I am a new subbed. I dearly love psalm 51. My go-to for heartache or worry!
Loved this video, you are just regular people to me. And now I know a little more about your believes. I am a Christian, i sure wish our son was a toddler again, cause they grow so fast. Nick needs to do more videos, cause he has a really good sense of humour. I stumbled upon these utube channels by accident. And I just love them, I am way behind in my tv shows. And I never even realized that you don’t have a tv. I’m rambling now. God bless
Hey Nick. Haven't seen you in a while. I just moved back to KY. I remember you from the gazebo days.
Yes love Kat, i agree so many youtubers are great to follow including yours. Thanks for sharing info about you. ♡♡
This was great!!! I live up in Northern Ohio about 20 minutes from the Amish settlement in Middlefield. Also a christian! Praise God. I was sent over by James and Lea!
Loved this q&a, I just came upon your channel well the one with the cleaning I think it was recent. But I was like she seems like a nice person to fallow and found a q&a. I'm gonna check out some more vids.
Thank you for this lovely video and for sharing your lives with us. You are both wonderful people. What a blessing it is to get to know you .
I really enjoyed this vlog, your a sweet couple! Love your beliefs in all areas of your life. :)
thanks for letting us get to know you better. looking forward to seeing more great videos. i turned to Psalms 51 as you were talking about it and it ministered to me. I pray you all have a wonderful day! btw.....I'm a buckeye too :)
Kelly Bryant Go bucks!! And thank you so much for your kind words!!
Loved hearing you both speak of your faith and how you were brought up , when I first tuned into your channel I though Amish but wasn't sure , thanks for explaining ,you are a lovely family and your two little boys are so cute . God bless❤️
I think it’s great that someone like you is on RUclips.
Great Q&A you both seem so down to earth, thanks for sharing.
rowiegrl Thanks! Somehow I missed your comment..😬
This was such a great video!! Thank you Nic and Lynette for answering my budget question...I felt like you were speaking directly to me...awesome!! I would love to see this type of video again in the future!! Janel in NJ :)
Janel T we were happy to!!
