this is actually so powerful. more people need to see what healthy family looks like. love this is so much. so excited for all God is going to do in y'alls lives
I was thinking this!! Like it so wholesome but beautiful to get to see a family enjoying each other their companies and being intentional with each other!! Makes desire it even more!
this was so refreshing to watch, marcus. these days social media can often feel fake, but i truly love how real and authentic your family is. side note: i grew up in california and visited my family in the south often. i definitely relate to the feeling of getting out of the concrete jungle. now my husband and i live in alabama where we hope to start a family. we love watching y’all’s adventures! praying for y’all!
I love how well this video was recorded and edited yet it still gave off such happy, nostalgic home videos vibes. Thanks for sharing all of that with us Marcus your family seems so fun and down to earth!!
I loved this video Marcus! We don't see enough Christian families on RUclips, or even just families that have strong relationships like you guys. Thanks for sharing!
this deserves way, way more views. don't take the low numbers to mean it's not a style we want; it's a weird & uncharted time for socials right now but people will always find their way to genuine content. keep making it!!
So cool to see the things that have shaped you into who you are today. Seeing you with your fam brought me so much joy. The 20 minute video felt like 5 mins.
Your parents seem so amazing, I love your dad. What a fun childhood. Such wholesome content. Me and neighbor Dave both wish we were part of your family 😂
Wow I loved this!! I always enjoy your filming style. And just loved watching your fam spend time - it truly looks so fun! I’m excited to create moments like this with my own family down the line, God willing. A childhood where the kids play and are active. It seems like you were all able to be super well rounded with music, outdoors, entertainment. I love it! And to top it off, keeping God in the center!
Lovedddd this! James sure is one lucky baby to have you as his dad. Y'all are gonna have a blast together, I can't wait to watch the videos y'all will make one day!
I think this is the best RUclips video I’ve seen in so, so long. So wholesome, authentic, and oozing with love. It’s like watching a dream! Thank you for sharing, Marcus; this was such a treat and an inspiration!
this is refreshingly relatable. just normal family stuff. i love this so much, specially seeing the babies being incorporated in all family activities without being distracted by screens. again, i love this!
feels so nostalgic like a good old home video where there camera is left rolling for these funny "in-between" times. Loved getting a little look into your childhood property reminds me so much of mine growing up with wide open space in South Africa.
I loved watching this video, it just felt genuine. My wife and I have 3 kids now and sometimes I get jealous because I was an only child. This video really takes you back. Sorry you guys had to meet on certain terms.
Heyo from Palm Beach Central! Class of 08- with Cody ❤️ Obviously this is SO relatable to me in so many ways! We are so blessed to have grown up where we did 🥰 love you and Krispy! Also I love love love that you’re posting again. Please keep doing so!
Wow! This brings up a whole new appreciation for raw and real vlogs. The kind of documentary that actually counts. Honest and humble. Thanks for giving such a deep dive into your family's home and traditions. If it were for me, please keep doing this style of documentary/vlog. Because this is what we need more often🤎🤎🤎
i actually haven’t enjoyed a vlog this much in a while! the narrative, all the fun bits..and your family is just fascinating. looking forward to (hopefully) seeing more! :)
Crazy going from watching your “sometimes I just don’t care” vines and then watching stuff like this in 2022. Also have been here since your first video with Kristin in it. Love you guys so much! I lost my Grandmother New Year’s Day. Hope you all are doing well.
Go Marcus! I’m so happy for you sharing this video. Returning to your childhood home is the perfect place to start again and it’s so nice to get to know you and your roots. I’m only six minutes in and there’s so much I relate to growing up! I pray God continues to bless you and your family!! He really can write straight with crooked lines! Way to embrace the waiting period! Also hi Kristin 😁
This video encourages me to want to spend personal time with my family.. no RUclips video makes you want to do that. I appreciate this content so much more than anything else I’d normally watch. Great job composing this, it was awesome to watch!
Ok. This literally made me cry on so many levels! 😭 A good cry! The love in your family is so palpable, heartwarming and wholesome. The world needs more goodness like this! Also, the fact that you will continue family traditions and another generation of Johns will make this world a better place. This gave me hope! Thank you for sharing!
This made me homesick for a place I’ve never been. I grew up in southern Louisiana and seeing the mossy trees and swamps and deer heads make me feel nostalgic. I loved this video and hope we can get some more in this story telling type of style. Love the Johns family even more now after this ❤️❤️
Hey Marcus! I’ve been a fan since the vine days, and I love your content. As a college student, I really strive to be more like you with all your projects and ideas. You persuaded me to start fixing things in the house myself instead of paying others to do it which has helped me grow, as a man and as a son. Love you, kristen and james, and I am praying for you and your family!!
It's cool to feel like we grew up with you in a way over the past decade! Happy for ya'll. I originally knew who you were from the vine days then found Kristin a couple years later! I lived in San Diego for a while and my husband and I now live back in my hometown in North Alabama! Wouldnt have it any other way. Our dream is to buy land soon because we both grew up similar to you - with space!
Already love this keep doing you Marcus this is so fun ! Also Kristin makes me laugh on social media she is very put together but I have been watching you guys since your wedding video and her little witty comments make me smile. This is what a true American family looks like I have looked up to you Guys forever!
Wow! I was waiting for this and i loved it! Y’all are truly a florida family😂 Also the family drama alert and how your sister casually says your dad ran over a cat while nervously laughing was hilarious. Seriously though really liked this style of vid!! Keep it up 👍🏻
I live in Alabama in the mountains with lots of waterfalls all around. Your home life is very similar to ours down here. I live in the city now while in college and moments like those are the ones that are truly appreciated and never forgotten, made me want to take a trip back home. Wholesome content
I LOVE this video! I’m envious of your childhood and how tight-knit your family is! Your homestead/yard is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing with us!
Marcus, this was such an awesome video to watch. I enjoyed getting the chance to learn more about you, your family, and your upbringing. Your parents seem like such cool people :) Thanks for sharing this with us!
Omg wow!! Thank you for sharing this video with us all! Your family is so special and talented, like there’s nothing you guys can’t do! It inspires me to allow my future children to explore in nature while they’re growing up! This video was such an amazing example of a Godly family. God bless your family always 💗💗
You and I grew up fairly similar. I will forever be grateful to my parents who gave me such an awesome childhood. I hope to one day do the same for my kids. Awesome video man. So glad to see you back!
Loved every minute of this video! It was personal, sweet, and fun to watch you with your family doing things you love in the place you once called home. My husband would be jealous of that incredible fishery in your backyard! Praying blessings over you and Kristin in this new year! So glad you’re back!
Loved this video !! I had a similar childhood, our parents moved us to the country side when I was 5 and I will always be grateful for that. Nothing can compare to meeting up with your friends and riding your bikes on dirt roads, building tree houses in the backyard, making mud pies or go tresor hunting on abandonned properties 😄
I enjoyed watching this video, I also grew up in Florida but much much different. Mostly lived in an apartment for most of my childhood and more in the city so not too much wilderness to explore. It just motivates me to be able to provide this kind of childhood to my son!
Absolutely loved this video. Felt so real and true to what a Godly family is like. Can relate to the adventurous childhood you and your siblings had together, and how childhood is a place of wonder and joy while being in a chaotic world. Thanks
It was so nice to get this behind the scenes from you, and seeing what a wonderful up bringing you had. Having grown up in FL as well, I can see how much more awesome experiences can be had with a little more land. Most importantly as you said, giving those opportunities to our children is the end goal. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't see such a beautiful vlog in a long time, for real! I could watch another 30min. It left me a huge smile. A beautiful family with beautiful values! God bless you all! ♡
I absolutely loved this video! It seemed so genuine and normal- something that is rare to find on any social media these days. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos again! 😊
Loved this video, Marcus. I grew up in South Florida too. Miami. My childhood was very similar to yours except my parents didn't have a big property with a lake, land, etc.. we used to go out to dirt road ATV'ing and ATC'ing. Or get a beat up ol' junky boat out into Key Biscayne. My cousin's and i lived climbing the trees in our grandparents yard. We would just climb as high as possible and pick the sweet fruit and eat it. Very outdoorsy childhood. Lovely memories. Thank you for this as it made me nostalgic.
I grew up in FL as well and I feel like ever since I’ve been watching you from the vine days I immediately knew you grew up in FL. That’s a good thing btw! I don’t know how to put it but I think if you grew up there there is a collective experience and you can recognize it in others. Love the vid!
this is actually so powerful. more people need to see what healthy family looks like. love this is so much. so excited for all God is going to do in y'alls lives

I love that you’re just normal people. I loved watching every second of this
☺️

Thanks!
this is refreshingly relatable. just normal family stuff. i love this so much, specially seeing the babies being incorporated in all family activities without being distracted by screens. again, i love this!
😊🙌
Wow, this is something that one day James can watch and see what his parents were like in their 20s and learn about family stories. Such a blessing!
😅👍🏻
Your family is so incredible. Thank you for sharing these moments and stories with us!
Thank you for watching!
feels so nostalgic like a good old home video where there camera is left rolling for these funny "in-between" times. Loved getting a little look into your childhood property reminds me so much of mine growing up with wide open space in South Africa.
🥲
Good job Marcus keeping up with your goals! And sorry about your loss. We are praying for you and your family!
Thank you!
I loved watching this video, it just felt genuine. My wife and I have 3 kids now and sometimes I get jealous because I was an only child. This video really takes you back. Sorry you guys had to meet on certain terms.
👍🏻👍🏻
Love this! You were blessed to have a real childhood spent exploring outside as it should be 🙌🏻

Laughed out loud at Kristin saying this land is your land this land is my land 😂
☺️
You can be so lucky to have such a strong family bond. It is so amazing to watch! Love from Germany
❤️
Crazy going from watching your “sometimes I just don’t care” vines and then watching stuff like this in 2022. Also have been here since your first video with Kristin in it. Love you guys so much! I lost my Grandmother New Year’s Day. Hope you all are doing well.

Love this! My husband grew up on a farm, very similarly to this and it makes me think about how we will want to raise our kids. ❤️
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent fun Video. Good work. Thank you.
Missed your videos. The land attached to your house is amazing. House is lovely too.
This video is heartwarming Marcus, and really calls people to remember the God given gift that is family ❤️ can’t wait to see more content like this!
Thank you!
Love this!! Made me so happy! It’s nice to see similarities and differences between families! Loved the rawness of family life
🙌🙌
Growing up in Florida too this video felt so sentimental. I truly just enjoyed watching it.
This is awesome. You’re so blessed with a wonderful family! I want a family dynamic like this for my family too.
What a cool place to grow up! Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed this meaningful content! Praying for your family during this hard time.
Love the property, and the family music session! I did that with my family too. It’s sad how kids these days are raised primarily on screens.
Normally I'm thorougly disinterested in these kinds of videos, but your life seems great, your family amazing. Good watch!
Loved this so much! Very nostalgic. Thanks for bringing us along 😊
Thanks for watching!
Bravo marcus ! Welcome back. I absolutely loved this video. This is the content we want.
Thank you!
Someday, you’ll look back on this video and be so thankful you made it. This was great. Thanks for sharing with us 🤍
Thank you for watching !!
Omg we had TV days too 😂 We played outside everyday after school and we loved it.
What a beautiful family and how blessed you’ve been to experience such a wholesome upbringing 👏🏼🏡
Great video, Marcus. You have such a beautiful family.
Thank you!
So refreshing to see you back on RUclips through your own content! Authentic, relatable, and thoughtful.

This video was the best 🤍 As a fellow Floridian it took me back to being a kid and running wild
😅👍🏻
Such a wholesome video. Your parents must be so proud reaping the benefits of all the hard work the sow’d with you guys!
I grew up in FL as well and I feel like ever since I’ve been watching you from the vine days I immediately knew you grew up in FL. That’s a good thing btw! I don’t know how to put it but I think if you grew up there there is a collective experience and you can recognize it in others. Love the vid!
