I'm just like you brother, children where afraid of me. I'm a giant man, I been feared almost all my life, until I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Found that Jesus Christ loved me, that's all that counts.
Wow! Thank you for your strength faith, courage, hope and listening to your wonderful Mother and becoming the victor you are! But most of all! Thanks be to the God of Heaven for the gift of His Son Jesus Christ the King of Kings, Savior, Mediator, Deliverer and Mighty God of Miracles!!!
Ben came to my school! He talked to us, and boy, it was one of the best guest speakers. His talk wasn't just about our church. But the spirit, was there. With a great presense. I was having a horrible day. And so I was closed off. Quiet. But afterword I felt better. I wasn't all of the sudden perfectly fine and dandy. But it's because of him that that wasn't the worst day of my life. Thank you, because I know it's hard to put yourself out there. Especially when you have chraniam facial condition. I thought that Ben was a member of the church. And when he showed the beuatiful picture of him and his wonderful wife I knew that he was member of this church. And I knew he had a strong connection with the holy ghost. Thank you
I am not part of the LDS Church ( I hope I said that right and apologies if I did not) and I'm not sure how this popped up on my home page but this is the most beautiful and uplifting story. I really needed this today. Thank you for sharing this. ♥
Thanks for your comment, Jessica! We're glad you enjoyed the video. We hope you'll tune in for other uplifting comment on our channel or at comeuntochrist.org!
Jessica, just remember to think for yourself and don't listen to negative people. Life is full of all sorts of beauty and it's not all appearance. So many beautiful people are just good humble people who don't realize they are beautifully created by a loving Heavenly Father. God bless you on your journey in life.
This guy is handsome, brave and inspiring. Their story is beautiful and shows with courage and determination we can achieve what we want in life. These children could not have been adopted by more perfect and loving parents. God bless and keep you all safe
I’m in tears and can barely see, as I write. Your beautiful testimony was so powerful and relevant! Faith and hope is alive today! God bless you, your wife and your miracle babies. So beautiful!
Brian here and I have Parkinsons In my 40's and I was a slow learner in school elementary to high school and it's always a struggle. I put things in God's hands
Thank you for sharing your story. You were blessed because you choose to be a victor and not a victime. And have chosen hope than fear, doubt and worry. I learn a lot from your story. How inspiring it was.
When you started talking and sharing your story I honestly didn't see with my eyes your physical deformity. Even as I listened because sometimes things like that are not so obvious at first sight. I have things happen in my life that I just wish that people who I think truly love me end up using me and leaving me. And I'm left feeling like there's something outwardly about me that says "use me". When all I wish for is to know a complete love.
I don't know if you, Ben will ever read this but all I see in your face is the light of Christ! You are a very handsome man because you radiate goodness! Thank you for your story!
What a wonderful story! You can't help but be touched by the enormous faith this man has! Congratulations to his family! I'm trying so hard to be a victor and stop being a victim. This story profoundly affected me!
There are so many strong people in this world. This guy’s one of them! Never forget that God loves you. He doesn’t care about what you look like. It’s what’s on the inside that counts!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story!! So thankful these precious children are blessed with such wonderful parents!!! God is so great!!! And by the way, your face looks fine, very handsome🌿
Ben, it's people like you who I'd be proud to be seen anytime, any place with. In my book you're a hero. Don't ever stop believing in yourself and your potential. Hang in there!
Thank you!! You are beautiful on the inside which makes you even more so on the outside too. Your wife and family are equally beautiful too, thank you for sharing your story, perfect for my family right now. Yes, God is in the details of our lives.
I personally believe disability is an integral part of my identity. Not a deformity. Not all disabled people feel this way, but me and many other disabled people are proud of our disability and would never want it cured, not even in the next life. Without our disability we wouldn’t be us.
I was so proud to know Ben and cheer him on when he was our star wrestler at UVU. I am even prouder of him for his faith, testimony and moral character. He is a remarkable man and a great personal hero.
What a beautiful sharing and a beautiful family. Yes, our Heavenly Father knows us and wants us to be happy. He is always there for us, no matter how large or small we think our problems are. We just need to trust him. May you and your family always be blessed. You truly look happy. What a blessing.
I just came across this video...and was shocked as I recalled last fall when I met Ben, and his sweet wife on an airport shuttle bus. We began a conversation, and, as he was traveling with a young child we discussed the challenges of traveling with a toddler, and he shared with me that he had TWINS at home. He was so positive, and engaging to visit with! I left feeling edified for having had the experience to visit with them, and was so happy to hear of others- that feel like I do, that it is a astounding privilege to be parents. I had NO IDEA of his full story... what a remarkable family! *Honestly! There are so many GOOD people in the world! What a privilege that our paths crossed... #miracleshapppeneveryday
I've had similar experiences in my life. I was in an accident 30 year's ago that left me paralyzed from the waist down. It's hard to explain pain I first experienced when people stare or little children ask their parents what's wrong with him? I've since learned to smile at them and tell them I broke my back, if I get a chance. I've learned that if you treat the children and people with respect next time they see someone else who is in a wheelchair they will think about the person who took a minute to talk to them and realize we are all God's children.
Great message! Saw this a while ago and today was prompted to watch it again. So glad I did! The Lord has been teaching me how to be a victor not a victim and it is affecting every realm of my life for the ultimate good! It is changing everything, and this video helped me to remember that and celebrate that. Even though it seems He hasn't quite come with His arms full of the blessings I'd like to receive, I know that He is full of blessings right now, and that His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23) and I am learning to cherish those. It also makes me think of Romans 8:37 - 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Such a wonderful message of faith, courage, and confidence - thank you!
@@churchofjesuschrist Absolutely! Watching and pondering on this was a very bright moment for me, even though this one feels darker. I know that the path of faith requires us to spend some time in the dark, but that following after Christ brings us the light of life (John 8:12). I'm thankful for subtle spiritual promptings that can lift me to much higher ground. :)
I named my son Liam exactly for the same special meaning, he'll be a protector. In fact, he already is, because before he was born we were having a lot of problems in our family, but after he was born we found happiness, and our family is protected from being separated. I'm grateful for this message.
You are awesome and handsome as kindness & love is real beauty. Thank you for sharing your true story of love and hope. Heavenly Father always listen to our prayers and will answer them according to what benefit you best as His child.
My wife an I, have 2 little boys and the second was born with Crouson Syndrom and we feel eternaly grateful with the Savior, His Church, His Gospel and His attonement for such great blessings as this. Watching the man in the vídeo talking about his experiences with this different kind of life felt more hope, faith, love and gratitude, I felt the tender mercys of the Lord.
Leonardo Matias Trejo : Make this hidden comment as a new, main comment...so it is more visible. I’m sure he’d love to meet you guys, he has such a pure spirit.
Dear juses Christ please help me.i trust in u.i beg u.i need to walk.i am miss everything in my life friends happiness joyfull and all.please return me everything.for new year all are going for tour except me.my heart full of pain..............sadness.slove all problem s in my life.i need some change in my life.please pray for me and my family.my name is m.dharani.amen.
I love your radiance! It's hope out of faith, a perfect manifestation of choosing to be a victor always, not a victim, of victory and power, not helplessness and defeat.
I gotta admit, the first time I saw his face, I was taken aback! But it's so true that a person's personality shines through to the outside. And the more I get to know this guy, the better looking he gets. God bless him and his beautiful family! And it's so nice to find out that that they are LDS!
what an amazing example of faith and hope and love! you and your family are beautiful! You have touched my heart...and strengthened my knowledge that God will keep his promises and that he watches over us! Thank you thank you thank you!
"...and she wasn't fast enough, I caught her!" That made me laugh! I also chuckled and was very happy for your family when you rather suddenly got three children, like God was saying, "You wanted children, CATCH!" Stay strong and help others to stay strong. It can be so hard for all of us sometimes to see through the tears, but we have to remember they will be wiped away.
I really think he is handsome from his inside out. Personality is really more important than a look. I have learned that a very good looking person with a nasty personality can look ugly when you get to know who they are inside. Beautiful story! Very uplifting!
God loves you. I love you. We love you.
I'm just like you brother, children where afraid of me. I'm a giant man, I been feared almost all my life, until I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Found that Jesus Christ loved me, that's all that counts.
Love this!!
Wow. Yes i love you too
This is amazing! I feel so motivated in waiting upon the Lord. I believe He will come with "arms full." Thank you Ben.
Wow! Thank you for your strength faith, courage, hope and listening to your wonderful Mother and becoming the victor you are! But most of all! Thanks be to the God of Heaven for the gift of His Son Jesus Christ the King of Kings, Savior, Mediator, Deliverer and Mighty God of Miracles!!!

God always come at the right time...what a touching testimony God is good
This guy is handsome, brave and inspiring. Their story is beautiful and shows with courage and determination we can achieve what we want in life. These children could not have been adopted by more perfect and loving parents. God bless and keep you all safe
Pray for my sister Amber she has this
I’m in tears and can barely see, as I write. Your beautiful testimony was so powerful and relevant! Faith and hope is alive today! God bless you, your wife and your miracle babies. So beautiful!
Thank you for sharing!
You are a leader, Ben. So glad to have met you and call you a great friend. Love you.
Thanks. Now I will go to bed after watching tons of these videos. God delivers.
Ben’s parents are THE sweetest and kindest people you would ever meet and instilled this into all of their kids
Beautiful story. Hope works when we work.
Brian here and I have Parkinsons In my 40's and I was a slow learner in school elementary to high school and it's always a struggle. I put things in God's hands
congratulations. I know God want His children to be happy.
What a family god made !!!!
Thank you Ben for your story. To be a Victor and not a victim

So true!!!!!!!!!
Amazing story of hope! Thank you!
Thank you!! Powerful message

I came here (as a catholic) cos I really liked Mormons definition of faith and its essence.
Our faith is in Jesus Christ as is yours and we are unified in it and in Him. God Bless!
You are welcome here.
I grew up in Connecticut. There, I learned the simple elegance of faith from Catholics. Thank you!
What an amazing man and example for all!
I don't know if you, Ben will ever read this but all I see in your face is the light of Christ! You are a very handsome man because you radiate goodness! Thank you for your story!
I wish I could give this a million thumbs up! Ben has a beautiful smile that lights up a room. His story will bless many of us.
I've met Ben a couple of times, and he has such a gift for kindness.
Beautiful family brother. You and your wife deserves every bit of blessing. Thank you for uplifting me with your story.

What a beautiful soul, the world need more victors like you and your beautiful wife. Thank you for sharing. It's so uplifting!
I’m glad they didn’t add background music to this. His testimony is perfect just the way it is.
I've had similar experiences in my life. I was in an accident 30 year's ago that left me paralyzed from the waist down.

This is a great way to stay positive and help others gain a greater perspective. Thanks for sharing.
12 years of mental and physical illness in big part because of what happened to me on my mission...still waiting...and hoping..
Thank you Ben!! Your faith inspired me!
Thank you for your inspirational story! Thank you! AMEN !
Thank you, sincerely, thank you, for sharing your story and for the force for good you and your family are.
