Elijah, you’re a blessed man to have a dad like this. This made me miss my dad who is in heaven now. We would have talks exactly like this. God bless you brother.
I’ve always enjoyed listening to pastor Steven. I listened to him everyday when I found myself single and pregnant as a teenager, which led me to devote my life to God. God sent my daughter to save me, not “ruin my life”, like the world tells us. This podcast has strengthened my love for this pastor and I think it’s beautiful to see the relationship he has with his son, something that I pray I have with my daughter as she grows!
I am in my late 30s and this spoke to me in so many ways, and will help in so many areas in my current life stage. So many important and helpful words, quotes and examples. Not one minute was wasted in this podcast. So fruitful. Thank you Pastor Furtick for leading this incredible life-enhancing session, and great questions & hosting, Elijah and J.T 🙌 Powerful work. I am so grateful for this sit-down, it felt like I was in the room receiving it all. 🙏🌟
This is beautiful/awesome. You can tell pastor is an amazing father to his kids. I love how respectful Elijah is to his parents that speaks volumes of what kind man he is. This podcast was most definitely 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This got me through being a single mom with two girls and one son! Thank God i found this end of 2022 my kids have also not even knowing it have also been by proxy been blessed by you all!!! Thank you and thank God he brought me you all!!! I need to see truth not just facts or lies but God only gave me the strength! Amen!!! I believe it with all my heart!!! ❤️🦋
Pastor Steven your last book Seven Mile Miracle changed my life. I finally understood that being a Christian is walking in relationship with God. Am reading it for the 3rd time now.❤
I love the story about 'O come to the altar' it's one of my favourite songs and I listen to it everyday. Such a special song that means a lot to me. I'm so glad that song wasn't thrown away.
That is such a man-centered way to look at Christ. God says in Ezekiel that when he gives us the Spirit and the heart of flesh, it is not for our sake, but for HIS holy name. So you should be saying "Christ is in me, God is enough."
Brother you are not enough. Thats the whole problem with Furtick and his entire ministry. We dont need any more Christians thinking they're worthy, or enough. We are wretched sinners in the hands of a wrathful God and it is only because of Christ in which we have grace. NOT BECAUSE WE ARE GOOD, BUT BECAUSE HE IS GOOD
Extremely encouraging! I’m a pastor in the Northeast… helped a pastor launch a church in Salem, MA, in 2012 married my awesome wife then moved to a church in East Hartford to youth pastor. The church in Salem closed during the Pandemic. After being in East Hartford for 8 years, my family moved back with plans of launching a campus in Salem in the fall of 2025. Loved the words here from Ps. Steven on sustaining and not giving up. Great word guys!
I love the concept of a good note or bad note not being true...that it is the notes that come after which are the determinating factors of the concepts of "good" or "bad". Pastor Furtick is amazing! Thank you for all you do for Jesus!
1:44:48 - This is the definition of living faith.Its because Pastor Steve is real...he has helped me SEE God and helped me be a better Catholic.This gentleman is heaven sent,God Bless you Pastor Steve...keep on changing the world.(From a dad and friend in Manchester,UK)
This is awesome example of a father and son . It touches me so much when I listen watch this podcast twice . Pastor you did an awesome job as a father to ELIJAH THIS IS A GENERATIONAL BLESSING SURE Elijah wiILBE a great DAD AS WELL BECAUSE OF YOUR EXAMPLE . IT REMINDS ME OF OUR GOD OUR FATHER WITH HIS SON JESUS .
I just set through 2hrs and 50 minutes of a podcast from which I had watched 47 minutes of a clip from, NOT A MINUTE WASTED!! Thanks fellas, I love you guys!! BLESSINGS!!
I love that! The story of you and Holly waiting to kiss until you were engaged and then deciding to wait to kiss until marriage. That is so beautiful. That's what I'm talking about. When Jesus becomes the center and you sacrifice the desires of your flesh for all that God is building in each of you. That's one of the highest forms of honor. To let marriage itself be special.
I'm 22 years old, I just got married and my husband and I LOVE your sermons. So when I saw this up close and personal interview especially with YOUR OLDEST!? When y'all said y'all were about to close it out to do a fire round like NOOOO give another hour or 3 😆 this was absolutely phenomenal biblical sound advice!! So powerful, so encouraging, so life-changing!!!!! It's so awesome to get to see you just hanging out and not really worried about anything. I know with all of the backlash from social media has got to be very upsetting at times but you have TRULY been a pivotal roll in my walk with Christ!!! I am so glad y'all don't care or focus on what others say about you and your family because people are always going to talk and at the end of the day you know your heart's and motives and they are pure and genuine. Sadly people will find anything they can. I actually had quit going to church and had become angry at God for things that happened to me when I was so young and in 2020 my soul sister passed away on our graduation year.. 3 days after her birthday.. in my grief and pain after months of not working I went back and your sermon came up on my phone and completely cut out my music so I KNEW it was God speaking to me. Since THAT DAY I have listened to you and Hollys sermons and watched you guys videos. I led my best friend of 11 years to Christ and I told him since I struggled with reading the Bible and my addiction to smoking and drinking that it was easier for me also with ADHD to listen to these and Joyce Meyer, Mike Todd, Craig Groschel, and Jerry flowers because you paint such amazing illustrations for every age range and now we're married with Christ CENTERED foundation not just a Christian couple , but one who's lives are souly focused on what our purpose is for where God is leading us and I can't thank you enough Steven and Holly for your love for Christ and all you've done on these platforms AND WITH YOUR KIDS spreading it as well changing wnd most importantly saving lives with Gods word and wisdom Hes blessed yall with. I just NEEDED you to know.. I wish I could share more because of the rest of my family not being Christians and active addicts and alcoholics THEY ARE asking questions and wanting more for their own lives! Just love y'all so much and thank you! We live in VA so we hope to visit y'all's church soon ❤ much love Morgan & Xander Fowler!
Arguing for the potential has been the biggest challenge. I always forgive, I will always find the silver lining, I will never let others restrictions be mine, and so many others will call it proud but we should be confident with God!❤️🦋talking to God is different then talks with people or qualifies to have dictation over you. Amen!!!!
I had stepped away from Elevation Church's online presence for about two years now (probably more) because the last time I looked up, Elijah was still in high school. So stumbling upon this podcast had to be GOD's direction in my life, right now. I could not have chosen this in my own strength. So this spoke to me on many levels: 1. the relationship of father/son, 2. the friendship of the podcast team, 3. the introduction and testimony of the new book, 4. the theme of obedience and courage that permeates the whole podcast. I listened in 40-minute increments, reflected, and then continued and the whole episode has blessed me: 1. I'm not stuck unless I stop. 2. Christ is in me, I am enough. 3. With God there is always a way, by Faith I will find it. 4. God is not against me, but He's in it with me, working through me, fighting for me. 5. My Joy is My Job. 6. God has given me, everything I need, for the season I'm in. BELIEVING this final sixth one is EXACTLY why I came through above all else. Blessings GENTLEmen.
I went to college with Steven and Holly. They were perfectly nice and genuine. This Steven seems to really like himself more than anything - or anyone - else.
Thank you, Pastor Steven and the YTH nation podcast for being so real. We started watching online years ago and then lived briefly in Charlotte and volunteered and attended at Ballantyne. Through the years, I enjoyed watching you let us see a little bit of the man behind the ministry-your fears, your anxieties, your failures, and your successes. I keep telling my husband during church, “there’s another piece of Steven, the man, not the minister”. I’m far from being a youth, but thoroughly enjoyed this. Please do a Part 2. With Gratitude! Chris
I'm saying to myself, "Man why couldn't I hear something like this 30+ years ago as a teen. But then again ..Man I still need this now." This is some serious life changing words of wisdom
I think that is an awesome way to learn scripture the way you played guitar and sang to the youth when you were young. I love that! I want God to use me. How innocent. To ask Him to use you in every day ordinary things, simple things, not needing to be seen by people, only by God, cause He is the one who is calling, He sees who has a need. It's about serving Him through obedience. "Is that what you want, for God to use you, or do you want for people to see you?" Wow. That's direct. That hits like a snare. PREACH
Low key best interview I have ever heard with Pr Steven. I was moved by his words to tears and yes! I felt he was talking to me IKYK. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Joined Elevation (Greenville SC) last week. Saw all the criticism around Pastor and it was making me question my decision. However, seeing his relationship with his son gives me peace in my decision to join despite the pushback I felt. It's fair to be critical of any pastor bc it sparks good conversation BUT I sincerely believe he's been painted in a light that goes beyond "fair/healthy" criticism.
When I saw this video of this podcast pop up on my phone this morning... I new I had to tap into it. Being in my mid 40's and still single, I certainly gleaned alot from it. As Pastor Steve pointed out... alot that was covered in the conversation (based primarily on the book DTKY), is truly highly invaluable for anyone of any age. 👍
Really enjoyed this podcast, my first experience… could have streamed for hours. Two young people really connected, leading others through. The many lives God has touched through all of you, teaching, healing, and bringing us all closer to Him, is a gift beyond measure. @Pastor Furtick What I loved most… was getting to know the depths of your ministry. Please consider having a ministry podcast… hosted by you. This interview put into deeper perspective the substance of your teachings. Thank you for all you do, in the name of our Father. Godspeed ✞🕊
When you did Elevation Nights in Orlando you spoke to someone in Sec 218, a Holy Ghost fire rose up inside of me and I hollered out, it was me! You've helped me battle depression and strongholds of the mind and not condemn myself for the times the war rages on so thank you THANK YOU SO MUCH PASTOR STEVEN! God had me cross your path and I'm so grateful 🙏 ❤
10:12 “some of the things we do in our lives that we look back on with shame we do it not because we are evil, but because we are hungry.” Woo!! That’s good.
I just love hearing all his honesty PASTOR STEVEN U ARE ONE CHOSEN MAN CHANGING MANY of us! Elijah u are one wise young man May God continue to give u all of his plans for your life and YOUR parter sorry forgot his name wow you too make an amazing team for the youth !!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. What a gift to see a nurturing father and son relationship. I have no reference point for what a respectful, loving earthly father, daughter relationship should look like, but today I have. And I want to tell you I've loved and prayed for your family since I joined Elevation in 2011, and feel very blessed today watching this❤
I can not begin to tell you how much this just blessed me! I’m 52 years old and this freed me, watered seed in me and confirmed so many things God and I have been walking through. I shared this with my 13yr & 27 yr old daughters. Let’s Go!! 💪
This is wonderful. It’s so uplifting to see Stephen their talking not above not Below but right to the kids. Sorry you’re not kids you’re young men. This is a wonderful podcast. I’m so proud of you.
I watch the new and old videos of pastor Steven, and I just happen to run across this podcast today. Although I’m almost 55 I found it to be very interesting even though it is directed towards youth. I have 5 daughters and one son, who are all grown now. I want to thank Pastor Steven for his teachings, they’ve help me greatly. Blessings!!
I am so glad you guys put a clip of this on Steven's channel so that us who are only youth "in the Lord" could find this podcast and be blessed with seasoned wisdom. 52 years young and just getting started! Blessings, Love and Honor Elevation, keep on keeping on!!
@@elevationyth btw.. I subscribed to this channel too today so that I don't miss great content regardless of age. I thought being as I am subscribed to Holly's, Steven's, Elevation and E+ I wasn't missing anything but WOW you guys rocked this interview! Can't wait to see what else you've got coming!! 🥰
“you’re never too far gone for Gods grace to reach you, but don’t go any further than you have to.” Don’t make it more painful for yourself than it already is. To acknowledge and accept that you’ve fallen further than you wanted to and that now you’ve got a little further to go in order to fall back where God called you to. ❤❤❤❤
At 53, I still need the Alter every day! God is still changing me, after all these years, I have finally seen the break through I have been struggling with for 10 years! God works in His time, not ours,but He will never fail!!
I love the father -son lessons you're giving. These are so powerful. He keeps you on your toes and makes you proud to call him son. "Nobody can rock us, it's what God has called us to do. When God gives us correction, we respond to it." Wow so much wisdom packed in such a short 3 hr video.
“You are a messy masterpiece in the making” perfect for merch for sure I love it. Will be a consistent reminder that we need and others as well. PREACH PASTOR 🙌🏻🤝🏼
AWESOME INTERVIEW!! I see three men, all artists, building HIS KINGDOM!! Elijah, if this is prophetic, it will be confirmed... the artist in you is so creative (not just music), you have not even begun to touch the limits HE has given you.
The BEST 3 hours!!!!! Thank you Pastor for being REAL, RAW, and Relatable! And obedient to God! Whew! You have no idea this season of my life I needed ALL of this!!❤️❤️❤️ God bless you and your beautiful family!!!
So Powerful, I Appreciate the Back downs it Helps Me Understand, & Pastor Steven Furtick You brought tears to My Heart & eyes! You Help Me Understand that I am Somebody, GodMade Me Whom I am the way I am, Amen Thanks
"Some of the things you're trying to figure out, let Him work on those things, do what you can, stay in the season He has you in faithfully, and let God fight the battles that are too big for you" That is excellent practical advice. That's us acknowledging that He is in control. We are to be obedient to Him.
Wow! If God's asking me for it, He already gave it to me. I love the scripture where He waters it and watches over it continually. He planted seeds because He saw I had fertile soil. Now He's watching over it and watering it, it's my job to keep the seeds, not to dig them up or toss them out. But let every single one of them have their time to develop. Amen thank you Jesus!!!
"There's nothing better, there's nothing more satisfying than being an instrument God can use." ❤ And we get to be right there with Him as He is using us, experiencing all the Joy and fulfillment that comes with it. Developing a closer relationship with our Creator. Nothing better. Amen
God is so so kind, I have never heard Pastor Steven speak (I say that to say this : this video finding me is a God thing)…. Almost like the Angel of the Lord hearing the cry of Ishmael, and visiting Hagar, reminding her of His promise for her son and pointing her to water in the desert…… Thanks so much Pastor for your constant question to your son “Do you think people are getting what they need”… The answer is YES… we are drinking because of your pour …
this couldn’t have come at a better time for me im not afraid anymore and im done doubting myself so many valuable lessons in this video i wish it was 6 hours long so many sermons in one video keep it up guys truly inspiring
I love that! Isn't that the heart of ministry and the heart of Jesus, to reach out to someone who is looked down on or passed by. To pick them up and show them who Christ is in you. Serving not to be served, a servant's heart.
"I'll go off-track, and sometimes it's been too uptight" that's me right now. This past week and a half and even now. How can you so easily put into words what I'm going through? I feel like I want to be called Moses, I'm not good with speech, putting my thoughts into the right words, and not even sure that I can sort my thoughts out. You make it so effortless. God uses you that's the simple truth!
I’m not stuck unless I stop -Christ is in me I am enough -with God their is always a way by faith I will find it -God is not against me but he’s in it with me working through me fighting for me -my Joy is my job -God has given me everything I need for the season I’m in.
Thank you for not throwing away the question - a moment that made you want to quit and what got you to the other side! So glad you pressed through and didn't switch to the book.
1:18:40 Literally spoke right to me. It's honestly really weird, I had been praying for confirmation then when I got it. I got really offended like I just couldn't believe it. This really helped me ❤. Thank you ❤
I have all of your books, including Do the (k)new you!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love all your books! You need to beat the enemy at his game and stop letting him make you feel less than! You are AMAZING!!!!!!
That's so humbling to know that you internally struggle, even before and during starting the church. You were and are the perfect candidate. You don't know when God is using you. That is powerful. Where God put you He will help you. Calling from God is greater than temptation to quit. It's amazing to realize that we're all just human. And then we realize Jesus was too.
How can people not know Pastor is a song writer?? He is one of the most talented song writers that i have ever witnessed and I have always been in band,choir, played 3 instruments, etc. Steven Furtick is most awesome!! So on fire for God! So HAPPY that he didnt give up the song writing!
52:47 -I am 43 years old...father of 2 beautiful kids....I. GET THAT!I wish I could have a chat with Pastor Steve...talk Jesus,Rocky and WWF wrestling 🤣🤣
Too far gone,too happy, too joyful, too tired, too sad, too scared. Don’t do it is ok but not when it keeps us from rational thoughts. I always thought if you can get to far one way you can be closer to home then what anyone or I Make it up too easy or too hard. Why not now instead stop saying it’s anything but possible. You must lay down, you must work hard. But now God gave us what we need. People do bring out their best of each other but God is the only way not to get off course with him with others! Together staying steady together through us all amen❤️🦋never fails like the world sometimes makes us feel like❤️🦋
I just watched that sermon last week about the packing peanuts. I love that one. Your sermons are always so powerful because you are vulnerable with us and honest and you don't act like you are perfect and have it all together. It gives the rest of us hope. That way we can be honest with God.
God so loved us all amen! Align with him and others that know we fail but we also know it’s not easy but it’s to know what the intentions are and trusting them because we came together with good intentions with each other not to judge. Here is the table we can all come to. Amen! Then you and God can step it up better next time together! Event one not the only event! Amen! It’s look’s crazy if someone never watched it done like that they immediately dismiss it not qualified according to the world. Gods got our best interest first so we make him first amen I believe ❤️🦋
I have to feel peoples hearts but I leave room for God to change their hearts and mine ❤️🦋i practice what to do over and over again. What works best is a great practice even if it’s not perfect yet❤️🦋amen! Confession is not a problem it’s a blessing to find a new practice. Encouraging yourself is exhausting but also fruitful for me and others❤️🦋 you all are so amazing I love it!!!!
This is amazing. This came to me today by Gods blessing. I did watch the whole thing in one setting😆❤️ This helped me more than you all know. The New me started today. I was also blessed with the purchase of your book, Do the New You. Thank you Pastor Furtick, family, podcasts and friends. Yall are awesome. I love all of you.
I am such a huge fan of Pastor Steven Furtick so I immediately clicked 😂 but I wasn’t expecting the blessing that I’ve gotten from it I really hope one of you guys see this - this episode has blessed me so much and was such a on time word I don’t even think you understand I’m so excited for where God will take you Elijah and JT def getting this book soon!
“ I agree with You, that You put more in me than my mind can comprehend. And I agree with You God that You’re gonna show me what You put me here for as I take the next step.” Help me grow into it 🧎🏽♀️🙌🏼
Excellent Interview with the Youth. Hallelujah for the transparency. I enjoy and appreciate Steve Furtick's powerful Ministry. My Grandson in prison turned us on to this Ministry. The New You is coming to me soon. Thank You.❤️❤️❤️

Elijah, you’re a blessed man to have a dad like this. This made me miss my dad who is in heaven now. We would have talks exactly like this. God bless you brother.
You do realize that no serious student of the Bible takes Steven Furtick seriously right?

Same! One of our faves. Thanks for listening
I am 30 and this is a life-changing reminder, encouragement, warning, and all. Praise God and thank you all for doing this.
The most foundational mindset in the book is: Christ is in me, I am enough. If you don’t start from enough, you’ll never get there.
That is such a man-centered way to look at Christ. God says in Ezekiel that when he gives us the Spirit and the heart of flesh, it is not for our sake, but for HIS holy name. So you should be saying "Christ is in me, God is enough."
Its not Elevation Church, but Eisegesis Church
Christ is in me, HE is enough so I am enough**
Brother you are not enough. Thats the whole problem with Furtick and his entire ministry. We dont need any more Christians thinking they're worthy, or enough. We are wretched sinners in the hands of a wrathful God and it is only because of Christ in which we have grace. NOT BECAUSE WE ARE GOOD, BUT BECAUSE HE IS GOOD

I think that is an awesome way to learn scripture the way you played guitar and sang to the youth when you were young. I love that! I want God to use me. How innocent. To ask Him to use you in every day ordinary things, simple things, not needing to be seen by people, only by God, cause He is the one who is calling, He sees who has a need. It's about serving Him through obedience. "Is that what you want, for God to use you, or do you want for people to see you?" Wow. That's direct. That hits like a snare. PREACH
Low key best interview I have ever heard with Pr Steven. I was moved by his words to tears and yes! I felt he was talking to me IKYK. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Joined Elevation (Greenville SC) last week. Saw all the criticism around Pastor and it was making me question my decision. However, seeing his relationship with his son gives me peace in my decision to join despite the pushback I felt. It's fair to be critical of any pastor bc it sparks good conversation BUT I sincerely believe he's been painted in a light that goes beyond "fair/healthy" criticism.

When I saw this video of this podcast pop up on my phone this morning... I new I had to tap into it. Being in my mid 40's and still single, I certainly gleaned alot from it. As Pastor Steve pointed out... alot that was covered in the conversation (based primarily on the book DTKY), is truly highly invaluable for anyone of any age. 👍
I’m learning a lot too starting over at 39 after a lot of abuse
Really enjoyed this podcast, my first experience… could have streamed for hours. Two young people really connected, leading others through. The many lives God has touched through all of you, teaching, healing, and bringing us all closer to Him, is a gift beyond measure.
@Pastor Furtick
What I loved most… was getting to know the depths of your ministry. Please consider having a ministry podcast… hosted by you. This interview put into deeper perspective the substance of your teachings. Thank you for all you do, in the name of our Father. Godspeed ✞🕊
When you did Elevation Nights in Orlando you spoke to someone in Sec 218, a Holy Ghost fire rose up inside of me and I hollered out, it was me! You've helped me battle depression and strongholds of the mind and not condemn myself for the times the war rages on so thank you THANK YOU SO MUCH PASTOR STEVEN! God had me cross your path and I'm so grateful 🙏 ❤
10:12 “some of the things we do in our lives that we look back on with shame we do it not because we are evil, but because we are hungry.” Woo!! That’s good.
Can't wait for this. The trio i've been waiting for. God bless you guys. Love you
Amen 💎 not disputed because God is our Author & Finisher of our life ♥️
Live according to honor God ❤
I just love hearing all his honesty PASTOR STEVEN U ARE ONE CHOSEN MAN CHANGING MANY of us! Elijah u are one wise young man May God continue to give u all of his plans for your life and YOUR parter sorry forgot his name wow you too make an amazing team for the youth !!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. What a gift to see a nurturing father and son relationship. I have no reference point for what a respectful, loving earthly father, daughter relationship should look like, but today I have. And I want to tell you I've loved and prayed for your family since I joined Elevation in 2011, and feel very blessed today watching this❤
I can not begin to tell you how much this just blessed me! I’m 52 years old and this freed me, watered seed in me and confirmed so many things God and I have been walking through. I shared this with my 13yr & 27 yr old daughters. Let’s Go!! 💪
🙏
OMG brothers this episode really makes me want a kid of my own to raise like this. I'm so proud of you all in the Lord.
This is wonderful. It’s so uplifting to see Stephen their talking not above not Below but right to the kids. Sorry you’re not kids you’re young men. This is a wonderful podcast. I’m so proud of you.
I watch the new and old videos of pastor Steven, and I just happen to run across this podcast today. Although I’m almost 55 I found it to be very interesting even though it is directed towards youth. I have 5 daughters and one son, who are all grown now. I want to thank Pastor Steven for his teachings, they’ve help me greatly. Blessings!!
I am so glad you guys put a clip of this on Steven's channel so that us who are only youth "in the Lord" could find this podcast and be blessed with seasoned wisdom. 52 years young and just getting started! Blessings, Love and Honor Elevation, keep on keeping on!!
Thanks for listening
@@elevationyth btw.. I subscribed to this channel too today so that I don't miss great content regardless of age. I thought being as I am subscribed to Holly's, Steven's, Elevation and E+ I wasn't missing anything but WOW you guys rocked this interview! Can't wait to see what else you've got coming!! 🥰
“you’re never too far gone for Gods grace to reach you, but don’t go any further than you have to.” Don’t make it more painful for yourself than it already is. To acknowledge and accept that you’ve fallen further than you wanted to and that now you’ve got a little further to go in order to fall back where God called you to. ❤❤❤❤
I love all the stories in the Bible. I love how God always uses people who seem unable. It's never too late for God to update you.
At 53, I still need the Alter every day! God is still changing me, after all these years, I have finally seen the break through I have been struggling with for 10 years! God works in His time, not ours,but He will never fail!!
I love the father -son lessons you're giving. These are so powerful. He keeps you on your toes and makes you proud to call him son. "Nobody can rock us, it's what God has called us to do. When God gives us correction, we respond to it." Wow so much wisdom packed in such a short 3 hr video.
💙
I love that, its never about the numbers but every relationship and unique story along the way. Beeing faithfull with the little things,
Love you Elijah, Graham, Abbey, J.T. Holly and of course Pastor Steven! This was incredible! Shared it with my son, thank you for sharing!!
“You are a messy masterpiece in the making” perfect for merch for sure I love it. Will be a consistent reminder that we need and others as well. PREACH PASTOR 🙌🏻🤝🏼
This is so good . "With God ,there's always a way. With faith, I will find it"
AWESOME INTERVIEW!! I see three men, all artists, building HIS KINGDOM!!
Elijah, if this is prophetic, it will be confirmed... the artist in you is so creative (not just music), you have not even begun to touch the limits HE has given you.
The BEST 3 hours!!!!! Thank you Pastor for being REAL, RAW, and Relatable! And obedient to God! Whew! You have no idea this season of my life I needed ALL of this!!❤️❤️❤️ God bless you and your beautiful family!!!
So Powerful, I Appreciate the Back downs it Helps Me Understand, & Pastor Steven Furtick You brought tears to My Heart & eyes! You Help Me Understand that I am Somebody, GodMade Me Whom I am the way I am, Amen Thanks
"Some of the things you're trying to figure out, let Him work on those things, do what you can, stay in the season He has you in faithfully, and let God fight the battles that are too big for you" That is excellent practical advice. That's us acknowledging that He is in control. We are to be obedient to Him.
Wow! If God's asking me for it, He already gave it to me. I love the scripture where He waters it and watches over it continually. He planted seeds because He saw I had fertile soil. Now He's watching over it and watering it, it's my job to keep the seeds, not to dig them up or toss them out. But let every single one of them have their time to develop. Amen thank you Jesus!!!
"There's nothing better, there's nothing more satisfying than being an instrument God can use." ❤ And we get to be right there with Him as He is using us, experiencing all the Joy and fulfillment that comes with it. Developing a closer relationship with our Creator. Nothing better. Amen
God is so so kind, I have never heard Pastor Steven speak (I say that to say this : this video finding me is a God thing)….
Almost like the Angel of the Lord hearing the cry of Ishmael, and visiting Hagar, reminding her of His promise for her son and pointing her to water in the desert……
Thanks so much Pastor for your constant question to your son “Do you think people are getting what they need”…
The answer is YES… we are drinking because of your pour …
I appreciate and love how genuine and real this feels 🤝🏼💎
Best time!!!!
this couldn’t have come at a better time for me im not afraid anymore and im done doubting myself so many valuable lessons in this video i wish it was 6 hours long so many sermons in one video keep it up guys truly inspiring
you guys through god helped me unlock a new mindset of feeling like I have enough already to do what he’s asking
The most productive way to do during lunch break is to watch this podcast!!!! Worth every second. Kudos to the whole team and Pastor Steven! 🤟🏻
There's an entire sermon in the first 11 minutes. I can't wait to listen to the rest of it
wow...may the Lord continue to use you Pastor Steven....Good job Elijah and JT...you boys are going places
I love that! Isn't that the heart of ministry and the heart of Jesus, to reach out to someone who is looked down on or passed by. To pick them up and show them who Christ is in you. Serving not to be served, a servant's heart.
"I'll go off-track, and sometimes it's been too uptight" that's me right now. This past week and a half and even now. How can you so easily put into words what I'm going through? I feel like I want to be called Moses, I'm not good with speech, putting my thoughts into the right words, and not even sure that I can sort my thoughts out. You make it so effortless. God uses you that's the simple truth!
I’m not stuck unless I stop
-Christ is in me I am enough
-with God their is always a way by faith I will find it
-God is not against me but he’s in it with me working through me fighting for me
-my Joy is my job
-God has given me everything I need for the season I’m in.
Thank you for not throwing away the question - a moment that made you want to quit and what got you to the other side! So glad you pressed through and didn't switch to the book.
Absolutely!!
1:18:40 Literally spoke right to me. It's honestly really weird, I had been praying for confirmation then when I got it. I got really offended like I just couldn't believe it. This really helped me ❤. Thank you ❤
I have all of your books, including Do the (k)new you!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love all your books! You need to beat the enemy at his game and stop letting him make you feel less than! You are AMAZING!!!!!!
I’m yet to read the book. Not even finished the whole pod yet, but this has changed the whole trajectory of my life! THANK YOU!
Well I'm 69 years old and this is fantastic and love how everything you say relates to all ages . Thank you!
That's so humbling to know that you internally struggle, even before and during starting the church. You were and are the perfect candidate. You don't know when God is using you. That is powerful. Where God put you He will help you. Calling from God is greater than temptation to quit. It's amazing to realize that we're all just human. And then we realize Jesus was too.
🙌
Such a great conversation! Might seem long, but it's worth the listen!!! Even if you have to break it up into different listening segments, do that!!!
That’ll preach!!!! “I don’t have to know what it is, to agree with God, if there’s more there. I get to grow into it. “ 🔥🔥🔥🔥😮💨
How can people not know Pastor is a song writer?? He is one of the most talented song writers that i have ever witnessed and I have always been in band,choir, played 3 instruments, etc. Steven Furtick is most awesome!! So on fire for God! So HAPPY that he didnt give up the song writing!
I’m not a youth and this is helping me sooooo much! Thank you pastor SF!
There's an update coming!! LOVE IT!!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Pastor Steven it is best message for I am receiving for all time. Thank you Pastor Steven🙏
52:47 -I am 43 years old...father of 2 beautiful kids....I. GET THAT!I wish I could have a chat with Pastor Steve...talk Jesus,Rocky and WWF wrestling 🤣🤣
Too far gone,too happy, too joyful, too tired, too sad, too scared. Don’t do it is ok but not when it keeps us from rational thoughts. I always thought if you can get to far one way you can be closer to home then what anyone or I Make it up too easy or too hard. Why not now instead stop saying it’s anything but possible. You must lay down, you must work hard. But now God gave us what we need. People do bring out their best of each other but God is the only way not to get off course with him with others! Together staying steady together through us all amen❤️🦋never fails like the world sometimes makes us feel like❤️🦋
I just watched that sermon last week about the packing peanuts. I love that one. Your sermons are always so powerful because you are vulnerable with us and honest and you don't act like you are perfect and have it all together. It gives the rest of us hope. That way we can be honest with God.
God so loved us all amen! Align with him and others that know we fail but we also know it’s not easy but it’s to know what the intentions are and trusting them because we came together with good intentions with each other not to judge. Here is the table we can all come to. Amen! Then you and God can step it up better next time together! Event one not the only event! Amen! It’s look’s crazy if someone never watched it done like that they immediately dismiss it not qualified according to the world. Gods got our best interest first so we make him first amen I believe ❤️🦋
He remembers every sermon like yesterday over 10 years ago is insane
I have to feel peoples hearts but I leave room for God to change their hearts and mine ❤️🦋i practice what to do over and over again. What works best is a great practice even if it’s not perfect yet❤️🦋amen! Confession is not a problem it’s a blessing to find a new practice. Encouraging yourself is exhausting but also fruitful for me and others❤️🦋 you all are so amazing I love it!!!!
When I see people who have a bad attitude I tell them I'm sorry for whoever slapped the joy out of your hand but it is still in your heart
From Columbus, Ohio I salute kings! Thank you for this, God bless you all 🙏🏽
Maaaaan! If yall were to release that group chat of breaking down each chapter, and as a book!? That will break the globe! 🔥🔥🔥
That would be wild. Ya never know
@@elevationythSheeeeesh!!! 🙏🏼 🔥❤️🔥
This is amazing. This came to me today by Gods blessing. I did watch the whole thing in one setting😆❤️
This helped me more than you all know. The New me started today. I was also blessed with the purchase of your book, Do the New You. Thank you Pastor Furtick, family, podcasts and friends. Yall are awesome. I love all of you.
I am such a huge fan of Pastor Steven Furtick so I immediately clicked 😂 but I wasn’t expecting the blessing that I’ve gotten from it I really hope one of you guys see this - this episode has blessed me so much and was such a on time word I don’t even think you understand I’m so excited for where God will take you Elijah and JT def getting this book soon!
You’ll enjoy the book
I love Elijah's introduction of his dad. Such a beautiful family❤
That lizard is loud! 😂 that is too cute
Do we both seek to glorify God with our lives, do we both want to be more like Jesus and are actively working towards that? So so good
"He's never gonna punish you for trying to come back" Preach Elijah!!
“ I agree with You, that You put more in me than my mind can comprehend. And I agree with You God that You’re gonna show me what You put me here for as I take the next step.” Help me grow into it 🧎🏽♀️🙌🏼
Keep speaking the truth Pastor Steven! I am really loving your new book! Thank you & Holly!
Excellent Interview with the Youth. Hallelujah for the transparency. I enjoy and appreciate Steve Furtick's powerful Ministry. My Grandson in prison turned us on to this Ministry. The New You is coming to me soon. Thank You.❤️❤️❤️
🙌
If you argue for your limitations you get to keep them. If I agree with God about my potential I get to grow into it.
I am in my 60's and it has affected me - thank you
❤ my brothers
I don’t regret my decisions for God and my mother and father . My church is my family now and I appreciate them so much ❤🙏🌹
