Man, I am so stuck right now, I'm in my 30s, living with my Dad, with no goals or dreams that I know how to pursue. My mind keeps putting up blocks on why I shouldn't get off the couch and do SOMETHING. I believe I'm meant for better, but I just don't see the road to getting there. Hopefully me writing this is the first step, thank ya'll for being you.
Hey sis. I understand the fears and mindset clocks. Have you considered a life coach? I recently had two sessions. I understand where you’re at. I would love to encourage and help you. You can reach out to me.
I am 53 and desire to finish my Bachelors Degree in Psychology. I stopped to keep my job at the time . I was two classes away. I am a single mom, my child graduated this past May with a Bachelor’s. That same child is currently working a Masters and tells me to complete my Bachelors. I am fearful. Can I do it at this age? Post Pandemic? I desire completely online courses but, can I do it? You two inspire me. My petition is before God. Please pray with and for me. ❤️
You can ABSOLUTELY do this!! It's 2 classes, you've got this!! I'm older and thinking about going back and starting a whole new program, we got no kids to raise so it's our time!!
Thank you for your testimony! I know that you will complete those two classes and obtain your master’s as well. Your chosen field of Psychology is not accidental!!!…People are in great need of what God is doing through you. Have courage!, do it afraid! & Be bless!
I was just looking into this last week, you may be looking at more classes because of the length of time that has passed. Not many more though. Online classes are more available than ever and many places are offering the same classes in person and online now. My husband is 46 and he will be graduating next year with a Masters in Psychology. You can do this, you really can.
You guys are telling the truth and dropping gems and preaching all at the same time. I moved to Saudi Arabia about a little over 3 years ago now and prayed about it before but didn't tell many people about it before I left. This has been a good experience for me here, learning about different cultures, being able to travel to different countries, learning a new language etc. I work in healthcare here and this past year was challenging but it pushed me to really connect with God and myself to learn what I want and fight for what I deserve. It hasn't been easy or comfortable all the time and I get lonely but I'm growing and grateful for the opportunity. Pushing yourself is good sometimes and it doesn't mean that it will be a perfect, flawless experience.
❤️ I was born there and moved to the states when I was 9 (we’re from Ghana but my dad did research at a hospital) and the experience of living outside of your culture is valuable. Not easy at all but hopefully you have something of a support system there
Oh what a blessing that this episode is for me. I’m 63 I am determined that I am going to reach goals that I let go because of fear. I believe that my best life is before me and my past no longer has me. I come from a place of passivity and condemnation . I’ve learned to love myself and see my value. I’m ready to soar. Other peoples fears are just that their fears not mine. My life’s assignment is mine. Thank you for being a part of my journey. I felt extra special to hear my name called out tonight. Continued blessings
I am so grateful for this platform Jena and John has provided. The responses that I’m receiving is becoming the wind beneath my wings all divinely designed by God. My heart rejoice in gratitude. When I was 12 I didn’t understand when the spirit of the Lord spoke to my heart and told me that those that do the Will of the Father is my family. Hello family! All things are possible through God nor has he left me or forsaken me. Continued blessings to you all. Much love!
God is SO awesome! I think it's such a blessing how the two of you compliment one another right now (John speaking fluently and Jena' understanding fluently). Yes the both of you will be fluent in Jesus' name! 🙌🏾

Jena and John... Taking a step of Faith ( is not business as usual...)..with RUclips on your side, I can testify to 17 years of having taken that?

I'm a watcher for years not a commenter on this channel. This is a right NOW word for me "Take IMPERFECT steps." I quit my toxic job of 24 yrs. and I'm starting a business that I can run from anywhere in the world (I want to travel). Jena brought me to tears. Thank you both. Keep being a light!

The ways in which my heart loves you is wild! To have known you for a little over a year and for me to have so much appreciation, respect, and concern for you speaks to the SMOKE SHOW you are. You are loved and seen friend! I will continue to keep your pivot lifted up. I'm sooo excited to see you fly!
I love your channel. I love watching the love you have for each other. This video was good. I’m in debt up to my ears. I was going to file bankruptcy but decided to get a second job to pay my debt. At first I said, I can’t do this! Everyone was coming at me for money at the same time and I got frustrated. But I just had to make arrangements with all of them and now I’m on my way. I’m 49, divorced and I desire to buy a house. Someone told me I’m too old to buy a house by myself now. I don’t believe that and God gave me a vision for it and I believe I can do it. With God all things are possible. Please pray for me as I pray for you. Thank you. God bless you both.
Thanks for sharing your story. Don't be discouraged. Buy that House ! I don't see what your age has anything to do with buying a house. People buy houses at different times in their life. People buy a house using cash. People may payoff their home in eight years or 15 years. Stay strong ! You can do it.
Sis, We are never to old to buy a House or Anything. I'm believing God with you and for you. I'm 47 yrs old single and I'm believing God for A New Home as well. Blessings to You!!🙏🙏🧡🧡
What a beautiful couple. I'm 61 and I want you to know the one thing that I've learned is, that an imperfect life is the highest blessing. You're guys are young, life really is short. So go wherever you feel lead and completely enjoy that journey. Blessings to you 🙏
You guys are so young and awesome! I am 64 and I want to get my teacher certification.

GO FOR IT! We meet a 52 year old black woman on Saturday who sold all your things to move to Mexico solo and will eventually travel around Asia! It's never to late.
Like Joyce Meyer says, "Do it afraid!"It is nice to see both of you depending on the LORD for guidance and that is where HE, GOD want us. Love that ya'll are walking in this together and growing together. Joshua 1:8-9. Sounds like you are telling people live life, and the things you must face to do so. Remember when GOD leads, a lot of time you are going to look crazy, but that's not our problem.
I just stumbled across you two just now and I WILL FOLLOW! This is so good. You two are so beautiful and I love a God fearing couple! My father in law has this saying "We are an imperfect people, for a perfect God." Thank you both for this my husband and I are in this place RIGHT NOW!! So thank you!!! ❤
I luv the way y’all look at each other with so much luv and support!! Y’all really balance each other out!! Compliment each other!! Such a beautiful thing!!
We make plans.. God makes the final decision. In the stillness, He speaks. The listening on our part is the issue! #commitment #determination #Godinthemidst ✌🙏. Love you both😍
@Terrill ElliottAs someone who is in an interracial marriage myself my husband being white and myself being black I take great offense to that . I also prayed continuously through our relationship and engagement to make sure I was in the right place with the right person and for me that was my husband I was given continuous blessing and confirmation on that. With that being said God wants us to be happy at least the Lord I serve does but have a good day ☺️
@Terrill Elliott, You are taking God's Word out of context. Be careful, and do not be a heretic. How do you explain Ruth, who was a Moabite woman? First of all, God did not want them intermarrying with Canaanites because they were pagans and engaged in immoral behavior, not because of their ethnic identity. Read the Bible with the right heart and in context instead of through a prejudiced point of view.
@@ravendavis4893 Girl, just pray for them. So many people have the wrong understanding of the Bible either by true ignorance or on purpose to support their agenda.
This was so beautiful and needed . I’ve been traveling the country doing my education and have recently moved again …… I’m praying and asking God where to next because I know where I’m located isn’t where I’m suppose to be anymore longer than next year . I’m not sure where to go and being that I do want to settle down at some point .. I’m scared that all this moving around I’m doing is hindering my desire to find a partner … ( that’s too personal ), but anyway, pray that God help me choose the right place ….
You are both walking by faith and not by sight. Sometimes even when we know we have heard from God, things can come against us to make us think we did not hear clearly. Some times we have to do things in fear and in trembling, however, GOD wants us to learn to trust and hear him more clearly and we do that through his Word and having a more closer, personal and intimate relationship with him through Christ Jesus our LORD. Amen. Thank you for sharing♥️
WOW!! This video popped up in my recommended and I almost skipped it. Glad I clicked and tuned in. This is very inspiring! Thank you for telling us we are so capable. We have to keep moving toward our goals and try new things.
I have now watched 4 of your videos as you showed up in my recommended out of the blue. After watching the first one I said put loud "Oh I love them!" Now knowing you both are believers (which makes us family), I see why. Let your light continue to shine and know God smiles as your transparency and desire to always keep Him first. Sending love from GA.
I want to say thank you for this message tonite.i cried right along with you Jena because I've allowed fear to hold me back all of my life.im 64 years old, and there is so much I want to experience.ive never had the opportunity to travel,most of my adult life has been spent raising my children as a single mom and working to support them.ive been retired 3years,now its my turn to enjoy life before I leave here.i just need to figure out a way financially to make it happen.life is so short,I commend you guys for living your life to the fullest.God bless you.
People normally focus on the Destination, the beauty is in the Journey...Good, bad or indifferent...the Journey is where LIFE happens. Love your Spirit and watching the two of you connect and plug in with one another. Blessings
With your spirituality, and love for the Lord, you will always be blessed. Continue your journey of love. I love your wisdom, and zeal for love and life! I am happy your happy, and thriving! Take care, and I will continue to check in on you two. Detroit, MI
I am so glad you said that not to compare your journey to someone else's I am 62 years young and I decided to get into real estate investing becoming investor and I have to keep reminding myself to not compare myself to someone else that enjoy the journey and take it one step at a time thank you so much.
There were so many take aways in this video. Thank you John and Jena for doing this for us. "Do it in fear and take those small steps because they do add up" hit different today. I am in need of prayer for weight loss...not just weight loss, but the shedding of so much more. It has been a lifelong struggle with some small victories in between. However, I am tired of having to always start over. I want the person on the outside to reflect who I am and how I feel on the inside. Let the journey begin...🙌🏾
I really appreciated this video❤️ The minute you said, “we are doing this imperfectly,” I hit subscribed😅. The entire story was just the icing on cake. Thanks for the inspiring video guys and see you in a class soon. Gracias! 👏🏾
The joy of the Lord is your strength.. Keep moving and laugh a lot.. keep enjoying the journey with each other and continue to look up.. Thanks for the video🙏🏽
Hi guys I'm new to your channel and I'm enjoying your energy it's very Godly and the true love and respect you both have for each other is awesome. You both just work and flow as one despite your different races and cultural difference. Keep growing and reaching new levels in life.
I love and admire you two so much. God is doing awesome and incredible things in your life. Continue to stand together, give him all the glory and be blessed!!!!
You two have inspired me on so many levels. Your genuine love for each other is tangible and has caused me to believe in love again. I've wanted to start a RUclips channel but was too afraid because I don't know how to edit, but you guys have encouraged me to stop being afraid of skills that I don't have at the moment, and dive in... trusting God to do the rest. ❤️
Amen! This was simply awesome! I am believing for complete financial freedom and abundance for myself, my family and my future generations of family. I’m also believing for every dream I have to come to pass, but mostly that I live a life of great purpose in helping others instead of surviving a life full of so much fear to even try.
The beauty of doing this moment in YOUR travel life imperfectly, is the excitement of learning and the being able to PIVOT and doing it differently the next time, even if it’ s still IMPERFECT…☺️🤸🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️
I love the way you guys love each other, watching you guys explore this world together. wonderful partners. May God continue to bless you both and grow this channel beyond your wildest dreams.
So happy I stumbled on your page. Your message is truly a blessing and I appreciate your openness, honesty and love for each other. You gained a new fan.
Soooo glad that I found you all! I TOTALLY needed this TODAY! The steps that my husband and I are taking in this very moment towards business, home ownership, legacy building for ourselves and our children's children is SCARY, but we know that we cannot allow that fear to cripple our dreams and our purpose! This video TOTALLY reminded us of that today. Thanks so much for your encouragement and for sharing your heart!!!! God bless! 😍🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️
I am so very proud of you both. John is the communication and Jena is the comprehension. This shows me that GOD IS FAITHFUL. Keep moving forward and he will direct your path!
I like that you and John admit that you don't have it all figured out. You guys are so down to earth and that is why I watch and listen to your channel.
I want to say thank you so much for sharing today’s episode with me and your journey and I was want to say thank you for sharing your belief and your faith with me I’m writing my paper and I’m watching you listen to your blog today and I enjoyed it. And I also wanna let you know that I’m African-American woman and I speak three languages and I have to tell you Spanish is one of my languages I speak very fluently and also write and I could read it so I want to good luck on that with you guys and it’s a wonder and yes we should learn as much language as we can it’s so beautiful OK that’s all thank you so much for not limiting yourself also thank you because of you guys I’m gonna start living a little bit more thank you
I just wanted to let you guys know that I am truly thankful for your words of wisdom, caring, compassion, understanding, and love. I really needed to hear that. I am believing in healing for our mins, bodies, souls, and also to be able to work from home. Even though my husband is about to be 60 and I'm in my 40's you and your marriage are definitely goals. I love you guys keep doing what you're doing because whether you know it or not you are helping others especially myself.🙏 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am a black woman and my husband is a white man. We are Christians and love watching your videos. I want to ask yal for prayer because I am unable to really leave my yard right now. I have severe anxiety and have very deep trauma. I love watching your videos. I love watching your dynamic. I love seeing yal having fun together but I wish I could leave this yard. I Panic when I leave so I just rather not. I feel so sad for my husband because all he gets to do is work and just comes home because I can't go anywhere. It's really a nightmare so I'm just asking if yal truelly pray for my healing.
You both touched my SOUL with this one and I love y’all relationship so much. Me and my husband watched y’all anniversary trip to the mountain west and we reside in Utah. Anyway, THANK YOU FOR THIS OPEN HONEST REAL AND EMPOWERING MESSAGE. I love you both so much!!!
You both really blessed me just now, your situation is completely different from mine, but the same principles apply to my situation. May God continue to bless you!! Thank you 🙏😃
Thanks for your ministry to your viewers today! Just joined the family... because of your transparency and the content of what you just shared...😲😊👍🏼 BLESSINGS!!!
I'm really proud 👏 of you. I really admire what both of you are doing? I had a few strokes in 2016. And I've allowed fear to stop me, but now I'm doing things to better me. I get some family to try to discourage me to do things and some encourage me but I just keep doing whatever I need to do to make it and be happy. So thank you. I lost my mom first, and then I lost my job and then I had an unknown amount of strokes. I am unable to use my left hand. The right side of my brain was affected but I continue to grow everyday. So thank you for sharing your life and thoughts with the world. I love you so much.
Preach Preachers! Seek ye Ist the Kingdom of God.. all these things will be add unto you! Be Great! LOVE is the greatest of these ❤️❤️❤️! I am happy and love life and pray the same for you both!
Just read 📚1 King 17 and you would see 👀 some good door 🚪for you and your family 👪. So May God bless 🙌you and your family 👪 to stay strong 💪with the Holy Spirit around you. In Jesus name Amen 🙏.
Hello Lovely Couple. This is Lady Anita and yes I am a new subscriber. You are so right, we all are on a journey and some have one purpose in life and others have multiple purposes. I am at a age now that I am reinventing myself with my hobby as a creative writer, becoming an author very soon. There will be some traveling adventure going on. I'm trusting in the Lord to continue to help me in taking one step at a time. And I thank him for letting me run across you two lovely people. GOD BLESS YOU. I will keep you both in my prayers and pray for everyone as well. Take Care And Stay Safe. Keep doing what you doing.
This was such a great message and just what I needed as a new RUclipsr. My husband and I are trying to grow our business to transition him out of the corporate grind. There's nothing like taking a leap of faith. It's scary, but it's always worth it. We're going to keep going, believing, and putting in the work.
Words and thoughts to live by: The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire - not things we fear. The number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail -- and keep trying. 80% of all choices are based on fear. Most people don't choose what they want; they choose what they think is safe. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. Don't trip over something that's behind you. Do more than exist. Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. Believe you can and you're halfway there. The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them. Courage is not action in the absence of fear, it is action despite fear. FEAR: Forget Everything And Run OR Face Everything And Rise. Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. Stars cannot shine without darkness. When you feel like quitting - think about why you started. Stop wishing - start doing! If not now, then when? Thomas Edison failed 1000 times before successfully inventing the prototype of the light bulb. When a reporter asked Edison how it felt to fail 1000 times, Edison replied: “I didn't fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention of 1000 steps.”
Y’all….. I cried through the WHOLE thing! Now I gotta go back to the beginning. “Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway” is one of my favorite books. Now I got to dust that off as well! Thanks for the encouragement! 💜
Thanks for your truth. You all realness spoke. So many times we stop right at edge of going forward because of fear of what if. You all a living example of just do it! Thanks! I am believing for my 4 almost 5 year old granddaughter to be healed from a brain disease.
Hi John and Jena' I am a pretty new subscriber. I love yall! I am 50 newly remarried and you guys inspire me so much! I love your loving relationship! Please Keep gifting us YOU! ❤
Thank you for this video. I’m in a season of putting my faith in God instead of living my life the way I want to. In the areas of my career and a relationship.
You all are a beautiful and couple. Live your life to the fullest because tomorrow is not promise stay in love with another and keep God first and you all are going to be all right❤️🙏🏽❤️
You guys are really awesome. A very pragmatic thing up front, getting on the same page financially has set you up for success in a very practical sense. It's no small thing. It requires understanding that you're choosing how to use your most valuable resource, your time, in a way that aligns with your values. You clearly have the most important stuff figured out, and it's all around putting love and respect in front of fear. Some of that is love and respect is for yourself and what's true for you, what you want. Honoring that, above letting other people's fears stop you from moving forward in your own life. Spoiler alert -- nobody has it figured out. But the way to create a good life is to honor your dreams. When you're doing that, no move, no decision is a mistake. All of this, including any missteps along the way, build you into stronger versions of yourselves You're putting some great stuff out into the world and relationships like yours give me hope for this country that is so divided. Keep it coming, guys.
New to the channel!!! Loved this video. "Do it scared" is part of my mantra. God opens doors and we have to walk through them and trust him!! Praying for you guys!!! 🙏🏾
God didn't gave us the spirit of fear! I think you guys going great y'all been walking in faith and God love when step out on him and you will have whatever you say Mark 11:22-23 believe that door will or has open for you two❤

The ways in which my heart loves you is wild! To have known you for a little over a year and for me to have so much appreciation, respect, and concern for you speaks to the SMOKE SHOW you are. You are loved and seen friend!
I will continue to keep your pivot lifted up. I'm sooo excited to see you fly!
God bless, enjoy the journey!
What you guys are doing is living by faith. The evidence of things hoped for but not seen. You will never know unless you try. No regrets!!!!
I love your channel. I love watching the love you have for each other. This video was good. I’m in debt up to my ears. I was going to file bankruptcy but decided to get a second job to pay my debt. At first I said, I can’t do this! Everyone was coming at me for money at the same time and I got frustrated. But I just had to make arrangements with all of them and now I’m on my way. I’m 49, divorced and I desire to buy a house. Someone told me I’m too old to buy a house by myself now. I don’t believe that and God gave me a vision for it and I believe I can do it. With God all things are possible. Please pray for me as I pray for you. Thank you. God bless you both.
Thanks for sharing your story. Don't be discouraged. Buy that House ! I don't see what your age has anything to do with buying a house. People buy houses at different times in their life. People buy a house using cash. People may payoff their home in eight years or 15 years.
Stay strong ! You can do it.
Sis, We are never to old to buy a House or Anything. I'm believing God with you and for you. I'm 47 yrs old single and I'm believing God for A New Home as well. Blessings to You!!🙏🙏🧡🧡
The love oozing from this couple is BEAUTIFUL. God bless 🙌 .
You guys was obedient to gods word. Y’all are so positive and loving 🥰
We definitely get it wrong OFTEN but we are trying. Thank you!
You are living life “perfectly” for you, that’s what matters. Continue to listen to God for your guidance🙏🏽🌸💕all is well
Amen! Well said!
Oh and how freeing that I'm..just learning that lesson now and its liberating
Jena, you’re such a beautiful person boo ❤️
What a beautiful couple. I'm 61 and I want you to know the one thing that I've learned is, that an imperfect life is the highest blessing. You're guys are young, life really is short. So go wherever you feel lead and completely enjoy that journey. Blessings to you 🙏
Y'all should write a book. It would for sure be a best seller. It's sweet the way you both compliment each other so well.
You guys are so young and awesome! I am 64 and I want to get my teacher certification.
GO FOR IT! We meet a 52 year old black woman on Saturday who sold all your things to move to Mexico solo and will eventually travel around Asia! It's never to late.
You are more than capable!
Go for it. You can do it.
@@janicejonessanders Thank you! 😊
Like Joyce Meyer says, "Do it afraid!"It is nice to see both of you depending on the LORD for guidance and that is where HE, GOD want us. Love that ya'll are walking in this together and growing together. Joshua 1:8-9. Sounds like you are telling people live life, and the things you must face to do so. Remember when GOD leads, a lot of time you are going to look crazy, but that's not our problem.
I just stumbled across you two just now and I WILL FOLLOW! This is so good. You two are so beautiful and I love a God fearing couple! My father in law has this saying "We are an imperfect people, for a perfect God." Thank you both for this my husband and I are in this place RIGHT NOW!! So thank you!!! ❤
I luv the way y’all look at each other with so much luv and support!! Y’all really balance each other out!! Compliment each other!! Such a beautiful thing!!
We make plans.. God makes the final decision. In the stillness, He speaks. The listening on our part is the issue! #commitment #determination #Godinthemidst ✌🙏. Love you both😍
This is exactly what I needed God is so Good!
God is THEEEEE Best!
@Terrill ElliottAs someone who is in an interracial marriage myself my husband being white and myself being black I take great offense to that . I also prayed continuously through our relationship and engagement to make sure I was in the right place with the right person and for me that was my husband I was given continuous blessing and confirmation on that. With that being said God wants us to be happy at least the Lord I serve does but have a good day ☺️
@Terrill Elliott, You are taking God's Word out of context. Be careful, and do not be a heretic. How do you explain Ruth, who was a Moabite woman? First of all, God did not want them intermarrying with Canaanites because they were pagans and engaged in immoral behavior, not because of their ethnic identity. Read the Bible with the right heart and in context instead of through a prejudiced point of view.
@@ravendavis4893 Girl, just pray for them. So many people have the wrong understanding of the Bible either by true ignorance or on purpose to support their agenda.
@@JasmineSweeting I have been because unfortunately I’m not surprised . Thank you for your kind words
"I can make mistakes and adjust" that was so powerful!
This was so beautiful and needed . I’ve been traveling the country doing my education and have recently moved again …… I’m praying and asking God where to next because I know where I’m located isn’t where I’m suppose to be anymore longer than next year . I’m not sure where to go and being that I do want to settle down at some point .. I’m scared that all this moving around I’m doing is hindering my desire to find a partner … ( that’s too personal ), but anyway, pray that God help me choose the right place ….
Life is definitely imperfect and incremental.💖
That is a word right there! Imperfect & incremental. Lean on Him all the way through it! - John
You are both walking by faith and not by sight. Sometimes even when we know we have heard from God, things can come against us to make us think we did not hear clearly.
Some times we have to do things in fear and in trembling, however, GOD wants us to learn to trust and hear him more clearly and we do that through his Word and having a more closer, personal and intimate relationship with him through Christ Jesus our LORD. Amen.
Thank you for sharing♥️
Thank you, I needed this word! Do you have a channel or page for devotionals or ministry? Or someone's page of the word that inspires you?
WOW!! This video popped up in my recommended and I almost skipped it. Glad I clicked and tuned in. This is very inspiring! Thank you for telling us we are so capable. We have to keep moving toward our goals and try new things.
I have now watched 4 of your videos as you showed up in my recommended out of the blue. After watching the first one I said put loud "Oh I love them!" Now knowing you both are believers (which makes us family), I see why. Let your light continue to shine and know God smiles as your transparency and desire to always keep Him first. Sending love from GA.
I want to say thank you for this message tonite.i cried right along with you Jena because I've allowed fear to hold me back all of my life.im 64 years old, and there is so much I want to experience.ive never had the opportunity to travel,most of my adult life has been spent raising my children as a single mom and working to support them.ive been retired 3years,now its my turn to enjoy life before I leave here.i just need to figure out a way financially to make it happen.life is so short,I commend you guys for living your life to the fullest.God bless you.
People normally focus on the Destination, the beauty is in the Journey...Good, bad or indifferent...the Journey is where LIFE happens. Love your Spirit and watching the two of you connect and plug in with one another. Blessings
With your spirituality, and love for the Lord, you will always be blessed. Continue your journey of love. I love your wisdom, and zeal for love and life! I am happy your happy, and thriving! Take care, and I will continue to check in on you two. Detroit, MI
I am so glad you said that not to compare your journey to someone else's I am 62 years young and I decided to get into real estate investing becoming investor and I have to keep reminding myself to not compare myself to someone else that enjoy the journey and take it one step at a time thank you so much.
There were so many take aways in this video. Thank you John and Jena for doing this for us. "Do it in fear and take those small steps because they do add up" hit different today. I am in need of prayer for weight loss...not just weight loss, but the shedding of so much more. It has been a lifelong struggle with some small victories in between. However, I am tired of having to always start over. I want the person on the outside to reflect who I am and how I feel on the inside. Let the journey begin...🙌🏾
I really appreciated this video❤️ The minute you said, “we are doing this imperfectly,” I hit subscribed😅. The entire story was just the icing on cake. Thanks for the inspiring video guys and see you in a class soon. Gracias! 👏🏾
Y’all, I’m taking imperfect steps right now. We are all imperfectly perfect! I’m new to your channel, and I will be subscribing! 💙
The joy of the Lord is your strength..
Keep moving and laugh a lot.. keep enjoying the journey with each other and continue to look up.. Thanks for the video🙏🏽
Hi guys I'm new to your channel and I'm enjoying your energy it's very Godly and the true love and respect you both have for each other is awesome. You both just work and flow as one despite your different races and cultural difference. Keep growing and reaching new levels in life.
I love and admire you two so much. God is doing awesome and incredible things in your life. Continue to stand together, give him all the glory and be blessed!!!!
You two have inspired me on so many levels. Your genuine love for each other is tangible and has caused me to believe in love again. I've wanted to start a RUclips channel but was too afraid because I don't know how to edit, but you guys have encouraged me to stop being afraid of skills that I don't have at the moment, and dive in... trusting God to do the rest. ❤️
Amen! This was simply awesome! I am believing for complete financial freedom and abundance for myself, my family and my future generations of family. I’m also believing for every dream I have to come to pass, but mostly that I live a life of great purpose in helping others instead of surviving a life full of so much fear to even try.
The beauty of doing this moment in YOUR travel life imperfectly, is the excitement of learning and the being able to PIVOT and doing it differently the next time, even if it’ s still IMPERFECT…☺️🤸🏾♀️🧘🏾♀️
That was a good Word! Thank you. God bless!!!!❤🙏
I stumbled on this video today, but this was totally God. I'm going to leave it there but grateful for your obedience to God!
Your words in this comment expresses the very same imprints on my heart... I just stumbled on this video today also.
..... and I thank God that I did
Thanks for bringing reality to this! This was really good!
I love the way you guys love each other, watching you guys explore this world together. wonderful partners.
May God continue to bless you both and grow this channel beyond your wildest dreams.
So happy I stumbled on your page. Your message is truly a blessing and I appreciate your openness, honesty and love for each other. You gained a new fan.
Soooo glad that I found you all! I TOTALLY needed this TODAY! The steps that my husband and I are taking in this very moment towards business, home ownership, legacy building for ourselves and our children's children is SCARY, but we know that we cannot allow that fear to cripple our dreams and our purpose! This video TOTALLY reminded us of that today. Thanks so much for your encouragement and for sharing your heart!!!! God bless! 😍🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️
I needed this today….I love you both for sharing this with us. Praying continued blessings over you all 🙏🏽
I am so proud of y’all. Let go and let God have his way. You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you. 🙏❤️😘😷
I am so very proud of you both. John is the communication and Jena is the comprehension. This shows me that GOD IS FAITHFUL. Keep moving forward and he will direct your path!
Amén this encouraged me!
I like that you and John admit that you don't have it all figured out. You guys are so down to earth and that is why I watch and listen to your channel.
You can achieve anything you put your mind in regardless of your age. ❤️
I want to say thank you so much for sharing today’s episode with me and your journey and I was want to say thank you for sharing your belief and your faith with me I’m writing my paper and I’m watching you listen to your blog today and I enjoyed it. And I also wanna let you know that I’m African-American woman and I speak three languages and I have to tell you Spanish is one of my languages I speak very fluently and also write and I could read it so I want to good luck on that with you guys and it’s a wonder and yes we should learn as much language as we can it’s so beautiful OK that’s all thank you so much for not limiting yourself also thank you because of you guys I’m gonna start living a little bit more thank you
I just wanted to let you guys know that I am truly thankful for your words of wisdom, caring, compassion, understanding, and love. I really needed to hear that. I am believing in healing for our mins, bodies, souls, and also to be able to work from home. Even though my husband is about to be 60 and I'm in my 40's you and your marriage are definitely goals. I love you guys keep doing what you're doing because whether you know it or not you are helping others especially myself.🙏 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am a black woman and my husband is a white man. We are Christians and love watching your videos. I want to ask yal for prayer because I am unable to really leave my yard right now. I have severe anxiety and have very deep trauma. I love watching your videos. I love watching your dynamic. I love seeing yal having fun together but I wish I could leave this yard. I Panic when I leave so I just rather not. I feel so sad for my husband because all he gets to do is work and just comes home because I can't go anywhere. It's really a nightmare so I'm just asking if yal truelly pray for my healing.
My mom has the same issue. I’ll pray for you now sis.
You both touched my SOUL with this one and I love y’all relationship so much. Me and my husband watched y’all anniversary trip to the mountain west and we reside in Utah. Anyway, THANK YOU FOR THIS OPEN HONEST REAL AND EMPOWERING MESSAGE. I love you both so much!!!
Jena are you ok? As i'm watching this video, I'm noticing something like a lump on your neck, left side. I hope it's nothing serious.
I noticed it too.
Thank you for the good advice! Keeps me motivated to continue my "fear" journey.
THANK YOU! I am rooting for you too!! I know I am not alone. ♥️
You both really blessed me just now, your situation is completely different from mine, but the same principles apply to my situation. May God continue to bless you!! Thank you 🙏😃
That’s a good advice stop comparing your life journey to others ❤️❤️.
I love y’all. I wish y’all the best of everything.
Thank you so much for that!
Thanks for your ministry to your viewers today! Just joined the family... because of your transparency and the content of what you just shared...😲😊👍🏼
BLESSINGS!!!
Y'all are so genuine. That crying messed me up. I love that you have a heart for people.
I'm really proud 👏 of you. I really admire what both of you are doing? I had a few strokes in 2016. And I've allowed fear to stop me, but now I'm doing things to better me. I get some family to try to discourage me to do things and some encourage me but I just keep doing whatever I need to do to make it and be happy. So thank you. I lost my mom first, and then I lost my job and then I had an unknown amount of strokes. I am unable to use my left hand. The right side of my brain was affected but I continue to grow everyday. So thank you for sharing your life and thoughts with the world. I love you so much.
Preach Preachers! Seek ye Ist the
Kingdom of God.. all these things will be add unto you! Be Great! LOVE is the greatest of these ❤️❤️❤️! I am happy and love life and pray the same for you both!
Good looking couple, and you both look happy,i am happy for you both,may God bless you both

Blessings to ya!
Thanks Nancy! Blessings to you as well! - John
John, you look a little like Chris O'Donnell. And Jena you give me Issa Rae vibes. 💗 (sorry, couple celeb-a-likes are my thing hehe)
“Do it afraid” is a word. Thank you for sharing your passion with us… it is exuding and we can feel it. 🤎
Hello Lovely Couple. This is Lady Anita and yes I am a new subscriber. You are so right, we all are on a journey and some have one purpose in life and others have multiple purposes. I am at a age now that I am reinventing myself with my hobby as a creative writer, becoming an author very soon. There will be some traveling adventure going on. I'm trusting in the Lord to continue to help me in taking one step at a time. And I thank him for letting me run across you two lovely people. GOD BLESS YOU. I will keep you both in my prayers and pray for everyone as well. Take Care And Stay Safe. Keep doing what you doing.
This was such a great message and just what I needed as a new RUclipsr. My husband and I are trying to grow our business to transition him out of the corporate grind. There's nothing like taking a leap of faith. It's scary, but it's always worth it. We're going to keep going, believing, and putting in the work.
Do not let your words betray you!
My God, my God that stuck like wet tissue on a ceiling!
Words and thoughts to live by:
The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire - not things we fear.
The number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail -- and keep trying.
80% of all choices are based on fear. Most people don't choose what they want; they choose what they think is safe.
You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
Don't trip over something that's behind you.
Do more than exist.
Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them.
Courage is not action in the absence of fear, it is action despite fear.
FEAR: Forget Everything And Run OR Face Everything And Rise.
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Stars cannot shine without darkness.
When you feel like quitting - think about why you started.
Stop wishing - start doing!
If not now, then when?
Thomas Edison failed 1000 times before successfully inventing the prototype of the light bulb. When a reporter asked Edison how it felt to fail 1000 times, Edison replied: “I didn't fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention of 1000 steps.”
Hello!! This my first time hearing you all!! My motto is, When we put God first and the head, the sky is the limit! Blessings Beautiful peoples🥰
Y’all….. I cried through the WHOLE thing! Now I gotta go back to the beginning.
“Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway” is one of my favorite books. Now I got to dust that off as well! Thanks for the encouragement! 💜
great and inspiring teaching, not video, but teaching and mentoring. Keep living your best life. God be with you.
I love you both. That’s it. ❤️
I hope to meet/cross paths with you both one day.
💖💖💖 Thanks girl. We'd love to cross paths!!
@ if you both are ever in Dallas we need to get together
There is going to be a time when there are going to be to many comments to read.
This was a word for me, really uplifted my spirit, glory to GOD
😃 WOW GUYs! You two Inspire me! Thank you so very much! God bless yA! 🙏💜💕🔥🍀🔥👍💖😍😃🙌✌
I BELIEVE WHAT GOD TOLD ME 🗣I WILL RESTORE ALL YOUR YEARS & THEM SOME.....
Yes! Praying with you for what your believing in, Tamu! 🙏🏻
Thanks for your truth. You all realness spoke. So many times we stop right at edge of going forward because of fear of what if. You all a living example of just do it! Thanks! I am believing for my 4 almost 5 year old granddaughter to be healed from a brain disease.
You guys really compliment each other and you're such a breath of fresh air. I love watching your vlog channel 🙂
Hi John and Jena' I am a pretty new subscriber. I love yall! I am 50 newly remarried and you guys inspire me so much! I love your loving relationship! Please Keep gifting us YOU! ❤
The Holy Spirit is guiding over you two. Give the Lord above all the credit for your failures and strengths. God Bless . Amen 🙏 ✝️
Good grateful evening everyone I love you all and I hope God continue to bless you all I'm glad you all showing the Trip you all went I enjoyed it
Thank you for this video. I’m in a season of putting my faith in God instead of living my life the way I want to. In the areas of my career and a relationship.
Continue to support and encourage each other. You're a perfect couple. Keep moving forward.
You all are a beautiful and couple. Live your life to the fullest because tomorrow is not promise stay in love with another and keep God first and you all are going to be all right❤️🙏🏽❤️
I would like to send you a care package to help you on your journey, do you happen to have a PO box that I can mail a care package to you?
You guys are really awesome. A very pragmatic thing up front, getting on the same page financially has set you up for success in a very practical sense. It's no small thing. It requires understanding that you're choosing how to use your most valuable resource, your time, in a way that aligns with your values. You clearly have the most important stuff figured out, and it's all around putting love and respect in front of fear. Some of that is love and respect is for yourself and what's true for you, what you want. Honoring that, above letting other people's fears stop you from moving forward in your own life. Spoiler alert -- nobody has it figured out. But the way to create a good life is to honor your dreams. When you're doing that, no move, no decision is a mistake. All of this, including any missteps along the way, build you into stronger versions of yourselves You're putting some great stuff out into the world and relationships like yours give me hope for this country that is so divided. Keep it coming, guys.
You are a beautiful couple and I Iove the way you are living your lives. God Bless your journey
I just turned in for the first time and I've not seen any of your content. However it's clear your the epitome of true love congratulations.
Y’all are such a beautiful couple 🥰
New to the channel!!! Loved this video. "Do it scared" is part of my mantra. God opens doors and we have to walk through them and trust him!! Praying for you guys!!! 🙏🏾
Praise God live your best life.Enjoy!
Thanks & Praise
Continue to walk in the Spirit ☀️
God didn't gave us the spirit of fear! I think you guys going great y'all been walking in faith and God love when step out on him and you will have whatever you say Mark 11:22-23 believe that door will or has open for you two❤
