Mark Hall's Testimony (Of Casting Crowns) After uploading 3 different parts, I decided it would be better to have it all in one video. I don't own their stuff!
I was in the Marines and never taken out a soul in this world. When I got out, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am a devote Christian and I was a lay reader for Marines in bootcamp. I think my purpose for God was served there. Now, I been going for 2 years without the symptoms of bipolar disorder. And I praise Lord for the healing. During the time I was sick, I do believe it was satan attacking my brain. satan knew I was going to be a useful person for this society and he gave me this illness. Then the Lord saved me and gave me providence. Till this day, I hope I can still do something for the Lord. I can't serve the country I love anymore but I am sure Lord can use me somewhere. Whoever come across my life, I will help the best I can. Thank you Mark for your testimony. You make me look beyond my disability and trust in the Lord more. God bless you. You are truly Gods messenger.
Andy Zheng Praise Jesus for healing you!!!! :D And Praise him for your testimony has blessed me in my soul! Keep on sharing your testimony of faith! God has already used you (even through this comment by you sharing your testimony! and me being blessed uplifted by it! ^_^) and I pray God uses you more and more keep seeking him dear brother! Amen in Jesus Name! Be blessed! Shalom!
Not finished, so want to find his whole testimony. I found it about 2007 or 2008 and it was me sitting there. Thank you, Mark, your testimony has been in my heart since the first time you said these words. I was ready to give up, but didn’t. Hope these words are the words that you needed in your life.
This testimony made me cried (and laughed too)! Reminded me when God called me to study architecture. I've never thought of it, didn't want to do it, and didn't think that I was intelligent enough for it. But these 5 years in night college I've experienced God's supernatural blessings, and I am now so glad that I obeyed him. It wasn't always easy but it was worth it.
This is so Beautiful! If you've ever felt incompetent or afraid to pursue the plans God's laid on your heart, take the time to watch this video, and realize, "God doesn't need me....He wants me." He gave you those limitations so that when you succeed beyond your natural limitations, God's light can shine through and you can lead others to Him.
I have watched this many times. Always cry part way through. So thankful for this testimony. God doesn't need you. He WANTS you. "You get out there dyslexic boy, and show the world what I can do through someone who will let me." Wow.
Amen... Someone Once Told Me: "God Doesn't Call the Qualified, He Qualifies The Called" (1 Peter 5:10) "But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness, who called you to his everlasting glory in union with Christ, will himself finish your training. He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you."
If that ain't as profound as what Mark said in this video, I don't know what is! I hit the thumbs up on this comment before I finished reading it. Only other thing I can say in response is AMEN!
I will never again complain, about the things I may lack and have yet to achieve musically speaking again, after hearing Mark’s testimony. Like Mark in his early career, I too feel like a small fish in a giant ocean of big, talented fish. So, now I’m ready to be used by God at His choosing, realizing that God is God, very self-sufficient, and doesn’t need me. I’m glad He wants each of us, willing to hear His voice and call.
Beautiful testimony, I was looking for it, because I always felt that the Casting Crowns songs are beyond a person but God himself. They encourage me and lead me toward my beloved Jesus. Now I understand. HE DOESN'T NEED ME, HE WANTS ME, thank you Mark for sharing this awesome testimony to a little peruvian lady, willing to serve God with almost nothing.
I absolutely love your all your music. So glad you overcome the enemy 's strategy. You and your band are so awesome. GOD BLESS 🙌 YOU. I LOVE YOUR VOICE GOD HAS GAVE YOU.!!!! Your humorous ways to talk to the hurting and lost is God given.
Such an incredible testimony. I appreciate his humbleness and honesty. His music has meant so much more than I can express but this-this transparency makes it that much more significant to me. Thank you, God, for how you choose us even when we don't think we are worth choosing. This shows what You can do. ❤
Hello my name is my OVIDIO CADENA JR born with dyslexia it is hard to talk about people having dyslexia and when I was in school people with making fun of me having dyslexia couldn't I can't read or write so well at all just a little bit I am look at people had a dude at work and I'm a catch I catch on so fast work now I do God's work he is my rock and my and my soul it is hard everyone tell me I should turn to be a pastor I just said you just In God's Time for him to put me where he wants me to be at and I pray on it and I just to hear you couragement and your songs nicey in San Antonio at the rodeo concert and it made me bring me some tears in my eyes and joy in my heart I cranked up the radio every time and I have put on RUclips to see your videos encouragement you give to others your songs Breeze to me and my heart I just had to hear your songs to be a couragement to me thank you so much and God bless you and your ministry and your songs and let it be more and I hope one day we can meet again I live here in San Antonio Texas
I feel the Lord wanted me to find this video, I've been hanging on by a hair to the Lord- not because I'd go back into the world, but because I'm so battle weary after 16 yrs of walking and battling the enemy, and waiting for God to restore everything that satan stole from me! God bless you Mark- keep singing and living for Jesus! :)
i hope for restoration for u everyday under Lords graces. 16 years of battles can be tough, but know that the Lord never left u, he made a promise to us for life!
John, so cool! Do you know what song he is referrring to as Mark ends this video, that he wrote on the big piano knowing only four chords?! God bless you brother!
Mark, I wish Casting Crowns would come to California, especially to the San Diego area. I love your music. It speaks to my soul. Thank you for taking the risks and living a life of faith. Your testimony resonates, although the issues are different. Blessings to all of you.
This Guy is really great, I have been to his Concert a few years ago In DeKalb Illinois, it was a great splendored time. excellent testimony, this is me all the way. keep up the Good work Brother Mark!!
I have two children one has ADD and the other has ADHD. Your testimony really touched my ❤️. I just had to share this with my children. Thank you for your candor. We are all hiding something. I think it is refreshing to see someone who is willing to take off their mask and be REAL. Thanks again for your wonderful testimony. My God continue to bless you, your family and all the people you come into contact with.
I just watched this for the second time and it still made me chuckle at his humor, but my heart also broke a little at his moments of hardship. Knowing what he and the ministry of Casting Crowns has become today is amazing testimony to trusting God and His ways in our lives. God doesn't need me... He WANTS me! Knowing that brings me to tears of deep joy! Thank you, Mark, for your testimony! Thank you to the gentleman that downloaded this video as well! And to those of you that read this comment, God bless you!
Very nice words i been crying for my sister 15yrs younger diagnosed with bbreast cancer and i always loved to lord and i partied hard . I'm asking god to take me not this beautiful soul i just dont understand
Thank you Mark for you. I listen to your music daily and your testimony was really been special to me. When I count my blessings, you and your music is one of them.
watched this because god is calling me to sing. this was encouraging. Thanks mark. also for the type of christian music you do i like your music. preciate the testimony.
Hallelujah! Praise God for this video and that we can have such great musicians, and their not just musicians they have had their hardships and struggles just like the rest of us. That’s what makes a great preacher or student ministry leaders is that they don’t walk into the room and think everyone in there is perfect and that we all have had our struggles to get to the point we are at.
Thanks, Christopher, for sending this link to me. I will share it with my ADD dyslexic daughter. I love Casting Crowns....and Voice of Truth is one of my favorites.
How wonderful and humbling. Thank you so much for sharing. Inspiring to all us who are afraid to step out in faith. So many of us just need to get over ourselves and let God have us.
True bravely is following CHRIST in a world that hates HIM. Never be ashamed to stand for HIM and proclaim HIM. GOD bless those who truly want to do what's right. 🙂🙏🕊📖👆 This is an amazing testimony.
Amen! God bless Mark! You and your music are such a personal inspiration to me in my good times, and especially, in the bad times. If you still have some of that Attention Deficit Disorder and dyslexia, and they help you at all with touching others in the spirit of Jesus Christ, could you rub some of that ADD and dyslexia on me? You have a true gift. I have always "smelled smart", but I smelled your masculine cologne wafting on the air in the lyrics and music of, especially, "Praise you in this storm" during deadly days, and your spirit helped mine to reach out to the true power of Jesus Christ. So, I'm just saying it would be a true honor to be able to inspire people as you do, Mark. You and Einstein with your dyslexia. You guys ARE SO SPECIAL! Thank God for good contemporary Christian music in general and your music with Casting Crowns in particular. Christian music is soooooo much better than other music they are making in 2019, in general, because it is so positive and blessed. Stay blessed sir! Sorry for such a long and rambling comment, but I'm gonna save you to my Christian favorites playlist because I need to listen to you once again, with my eyes closed to really pay attention to your words, as I feel bad leaving this comment and not giving you 100% attention. Malo! God bless!
I don't have ADD or anything like that as far as i know but i can kinda relate to what he went through. But im really socially awkward. Im already enrolled in a 4 year university but its my 6th year there and i still don't know when I'll be done. Hopefully next semester. But that's what i keep telling myself for the past 2 years.i remember my first semester there, i felt like i didn't belong there and that i was way over my head. So many people who should knew way more than me and should have been there instead. i still feel that sometimes. But i knew that that was where God wanted me to be. And that one day i will be somewhere else doing good work for God's kingdom with my engineering degree for what its worth. Thank you Mark for your wonderful music and this testimony. It's helped me through some hard times in life. But God is good all the time.
This was recorded around the time Casting Crowns first album came out. That was 2003. This testamony was a lead up to his song "Voice of Truth" because the song itself was his testamony about his struggling with ADD and dyslexia. Listen to the lyrics... Oh what I would do to have The kind of strength to climb out of that boat I'm in On to the crashing waves. To step out of my comfort zone Into the realm of the unknown Where Jesus is And He's holding out His hand. BUT THE WAVES ARE CALLING OUT MY NAME AND THEY LAUGH AT ME REMINDING ME OF ALL THE TIMES I TRIED BEFORE AND FAILED THE WAVES THEY KEEP ON TELLING ME TIME AND TIME AGAIN "BOY, YOU'LL NEVER WIN... YOU'LL NEVER WIN." That's just the first verse... That alone explains what he was going through. The "waves" are Satan. Laughing at him and telling him he'll never win was Satan pushing those "buttons" in the back of his head. It's been 17 years since this testamony was spoken and Mark has since gone through more trials and tribulations. He has recently defeated cancer and his song "Oh My Soul" is his testamony of how he was struggling with it. Actually the full album "The Very Next Thing" was his journey through cancer. The doctors had to remove one of his kidneys to rid him of the cancer, and the kidney he has left isn't in the best of shape, so even now, 5 years after his ordeal with cancer, he's struggling with what cancer has done to him. I just felt moved to explain to you how this video from 17 years ago is only part of the full Mark Hall testamony. God bless you.
I passed on ADD and dyslexia myself, but I love books. Irlens transparencies help keep sentences still on the page. A learning difference, not disability.
I am a recovering addict and i have diagnosed with hep c. I have this wierd sensation on my upper right side of abdomen and has been bothering me alot, please pray for me
I enjoyed your testimony so much. Thank you for helping me not feel alone. And making me laugh. If I never get to meet you on this side I'll see you in Heaven.Have a blessed day.
My precious sister, I'm so sorry. But I want to encourage you Jesus sees your pain. He is our healer. He restores,refreshes, and renews our broken heart and spirit. Let Jesus comfort you and watch Him move in your life. My prayers are with you.
Bro. Mark I love your testimony. First your hillarious. But it feels like I can hear myself in this testimony always thinking I didn't have what it takes to serve Jesus. Well Jesus says differently. So thank you for sharing this and making me laugh have a blessed day Casting Crowns.
WOW, I never knew anything beyond he came from Florida to Georgia a bit south of Atlanta. I do not have dyslexia but I do have ADD and pretty severely, I suspect. It made for a great daycare teacher for 20 years but though I was decent at other things I tried after daycare there were always struggles with some aspect of the job. Lack of focus is a real problem. So I lost a lot of confidence in myself. But I have confidence in God, I understand now that if He leads me to do something for Him He isn't asking me to do it on my own ability, He is wanting a willing person to do it through.
"God doesn't need me....He wants me!" So profound!
I was in the Marines and never taken out a soul in this world. When I got out, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am a devote Christian and I was a lay reader for Marines in bootcamp. I think my purpose for God was served there. Now, I been going for 2 years without the symptoms of bipolar disorder. And I praise Lord for the healing.

Everyone needs to listen to this wonderful testament amen
Life changing, listen to this so often. God doesn't need us, he wants us. Powerful. Life changing.
I will never again complain, about the things I may lack and have yet to achieve musically speaking again, after hearing Mark’s testimony. Like Mark in his early career, I too feel like a small fish in a giant ocean of big, talented fish. So, now I’m ready to be used by God at His choosing, realizing that God is God, very self-sufficient, and doesn’t need me. I’m glad He wants each of us, willing to hear His voice and call.
2020 - the hardest year most of us post-baby boomers have faced. This testimony was exactly what I needed. Thank you Mark Hall.
The Baby boomers had it the best actually
Beautiful testimony, I was looking for it, because I always felt that the Casting Crowns songs are beyond a person but God himself. They encourage me and lead me toward my beloved Jesus.

I'm in a new job where there's no way I'm even near qualified. I've listened to this everyday the last week. God's reminding me of how good he is!
Such an incredible testimony. I appreciate his humbleness and honesty. His music has meant so much more than I can express but this-this transparency makes it that much more significant to me. Thank you, God, for how you choose us even when we don't think we are worth choosing. This shows what You can do. ❤
Good to finally hear his backstory. Casting Crowns is easily one of my all time favorite christian groups.

Thinking of you Mark, praying that everything goes well with your surgery. Believing in God's healing power over your life.

How wonderful and humbling. Thank you so much for sharing. Inspiring to all us who are afraid to step out in faith. So many of us just need to get over ourselves and let God have us.
He is my favorite Christian singer.
True bravely is following CHRIST in a world that hates HIM. Never be ashamed to stand for HIM and proclaim HIM. GOD bless those who truly want to do what's right.

This is an amazing testimony.
Amen! God bless Mark! You and your music are such a personal inspiration to me in my good times, and especially, in the bad times.

Love you guys, man. Your band is my #1 favorite and I love your ministry. Started the "Thrive" challenge today.
Mark is so awesome!
wah!...its great to hear my favorite song writer give his testimony...i love you mark..God bless you..
Awesome testimony! God does amazing things in our lives!
This was recorded around the time Casting Crowns first album came out. That was 2003. This testamony was a lead up to his song "Voice of Truth" because the song itself was his testamony about his struggling with ADD and dyslexia. Listen to the lyrics...
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength to climb out of that boat I'm in
On to the crashing waves.
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand.
BUT THE WAVES ARE CALLING OUT MY NAME AND THEY LAUGH AT ME
REMINDING ME OF ALL THE TIMES
I TRIED BEFORE AND FAILED
THE WAVES THEY KEEP ON TELLING ME
TIME AND TIME AGAIN
"BOY, YOU'LL NEVER WIN...
YOU'LL NEVER WIN."
That's just the first verse... That alone explains what he was going through. The "waves" are Satan. Laughing at him and telling him he'll never win was Satan pushing those "buttons" in the back of his head.
It's been 17 years since this testamony was spoken and Mark has since gone through more trials and tribulations. He has recently defeated cancer and his song "Oh My Soul" is his testamony of how he was struggling with it. Actually the full album "The Very Next Thing" was his journey through cancer. The doctors had to remove one of his kidneys to rid him of the cancer, and the kidney he has left isn't in the best of shape, so even now, 5 years after his ordeal with cancer, he's struggling with what cancer has done to him.
I just felt moved to explain to you how this video from 17 years ago is only part of the full Mark Hall testamony. God bless you.
Powerful testimony, WOW! Looking forward to seeing you in Milwaukee in August.
I have ADHD . I can completely relate with what he went through .
I dealt with add trust in JESUS to heal you. He healed me. Took meds and felt I wasn't trusting God went to physcotrist and got off it.
Mark you are Awesome!
I am so happy to Listen your testimony praise the LORD bro.
Awesome.Really touched me and my situation right now!God Bless you
Such is common to man
God bless you for sharing
Your testimony is still helping people heal
I passed on ADD and dyslexia myself, but I love books. Irlens transparencies help keep sentences still on the page. A learning difference, not disability.
I am a recovering addict and i have diagnosed with hep c. I have this wierd sensation on my upper right side of abdomen and has been bothering me alot, please pray for me
WOW never knew Mark was so funny, love you brother. You are an inspiration. I have to see Casting Crowns!
Amazing. Our test scores are even rougher, but I have two great kids.
He’s so funny. Love him!
I enjoyed your testimony so much. Thank you for helping me not feel alone. And making me laugh. If I never get to meet you on this side
I'll see you in Heaven.Have a blessed day.
This is awesome thanks for uploading!
This has given me so much encouragement.
Amen Brother Jesus wants us more and more everyday We Love you Jesus
wonderful testimony
Great preaching
My precious sister, I'm so sorry. But I want to encourage you Jesus sees your pain. He is our healer. He restores,refreshes, and renews our broken heart and spirit. Let Jesus comfort you and watch Him move in your life. My prayers are with you.
This made me cry. It's amazing how small one can feel (i feel it ofyen) and how big our god is. I am still trying to figure out where he wants me.
Don't ever give up. God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!

What an amazing testimony
This is a wonderrful testimony.
Bro. Mark I love your testimony. First your hillarious. But it feels like I can hear myself in this testimony always thinking I didn't have what it takes to serve Jesus. Well Jesus says differently. So thank you for sharing this and making me laugh have a blessed day Casting Crowns.
WOW, I never knew anything beyond he came from Florida to Georgia a bit south of Atlanta. I do not have dyslexia but I do have ADD and pretty severely, I suspect. It made for a great daycare teacher for 20 years but though I was decent at other things I tried after daycare there were always struggles with some aspect of the job. Lack of focus is a real problem. So I lost a lot of confidence in myself. But I have confidence in God, I understand now that if He leads me to do something for Him He isn't asking me to do it on my own ability, He is wanting a willing person to do it through.
Love this Group......
I also was diagnosed with a disability and I still take medicine for it
