Religious differences almost BROKE us | OUR LOVE STORY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Part 2 - "What are your religious differences?" is the NUMBER ONE question people ask us, and here is part 2 of our response to it. Our religious differences were BY FAR the thing that made our love story the most complicated. How would we raise kids? Could we get on the same page? What does God want us to do? Is love enough? These were just some of the questions we faced and it was tough. We obviously got through it, but it was not easy at all. So, in this RAW & UNCUT video we’re going to talk about what our religious differences were, why it was so difficult, why it mattered to us, and what our approach was in dealing with them.
If you're in a relationship or a situation that seems impossible and you can't see how it's going to work, then we hope our story inspires you. Not every story is meant to have a happy ending, but ours did and we're so grateful. Please let us know what you think in the comments.
Also, this video definitely builds on our "How We Met" story, and “Our First Date” story so if you haven't watched those videos yet, make sure you do! 🙏🏻🙏🏽 As always, make sure you subscribe to our channel, turn on those notifications and watch our other videos.

Great video..Thanks for sharing your story…
Keep the videos coming..
Not only ones like this one but more Day in the Life…
Awesome video. I do admire you both. By the way you handle your life shows depth, deep faith and true love. When I listen to young couples willing to go deep to define their relationship, it humbles me and strengthens my faith in the future of this world. For me it's not about religion, but as you have been saying, putting God first and with faith everything will eventually fall in place. Keep on doing the work. You will help others define their relationship with God themselves and with their partner in life. God bless you both.
God has called you both to be light and salt. Your love for God and your transparency is a testament to God's love for the world. May God bless and open doors so that many may examine God's ability to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ask or think.
I am Orthodox Christian and my son's father is Jewish. We celebrate both with the same fervor and I listen and learn with my son because it is important that he lives the faith above all without animosity or pressure. He remains in the love of God of which he is a reflection for us beyond the differences 🇨🇵🙏
Thank you for this! Your story is very similar to ours. My husband and I have been married 7 1/2 years and have 3 children now and doing the work and putting Christ at the center of our marriage makes us stronger. But like you said it hasn’t always been easy. Do we have everything figured out yet with our religious backgrounds? Not 100% but we have a respect for each other and our faiths (which is more similar than different). Looking forward to hearing how you do church and how you’ll raise Daven. We currently attend both churches (sometimes separate but mostly together as a family). You two are amazing people and I’m so glad I stumbled across your page. We are actually headed to Branson for Spring break.
Thank you for sharing your testimony. Like Mina, I have a background in the Pentecostal church but after college I left the church I attended since I was a baby and joined a non-denominational one. Eventually I left that church too due to a prophetic word I received from my Pastor which involved moving out of state. Went to another church but I eventually stopped attending church altogether in 2019 and since then God has been breaking up the foundation my life was built on by walking me through the truth concerning various traditions and false teachings we were taught in those churches. I'm 37 now and I desire to be married and even feel like God has spent the last 6+ years preparing me for it but not knowing where to fellowship locally. This definitely opened my eyes to the reality that I was still living with limiting beliefs instilled in me from childhood. Yes interfaith marriage has always been touted as taboo, but I think you both addressed the underlying issue that is really at the heart of the Father when His word talks about not being unequally yoked. That distinction between interfaith and interdenomination was helpful because there are certain groups that I wouldn't have considered to be a different denomination within Christianity because of the stigma that is around them, and yeah Mormons was one of them.
This is the first that I've ever heard of a Mormon quoting scripture from the bible instead of from the book of Mormon. Hubby seems geared more toward Christian teachings than he does Mormon. He definitely has the gift of teaching.😊
You are cemented together by the love of God. You deliver your doubts and vulnerabilities which honor you and serve those held by the same dilemmas and paradigms. 🇨🇵🙏
❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for explaining and reminding me that EVERYTHING MUST BE CENTERED IN JESUS CHRIST GOD THE FATHER. Study 📖 To Show thyself approved. Back To the basics of being a Christian in any denomination. May God Bless your union 😊❤together forever happily in Jesus Christ God the Father. Amen 😇🙏🏽
Your conversations are always interesting and thought provoking. I enjoyed it and looking forward to more.
This is so refreshing, God bless
Awesome! God Bless you both ❤
My husband and I belong to the same ministry. We have been married for twenty-nine years we still have questions and differences.
Right?? And that’s okay!
Enjoying your channel. Gods wisdom and truth are universal. I appreciate you sharing your family's story of Christian faith application being transformational in your lives. Its light filled even when it's hard to see that in the midst and feels like you are lost in the dark. Faith takes that mad trust and patience to wait for His timing. Walking the unlit path with crazy faith feelin nutty sometimes. Then it becomes illuminated not just for you but everyone you share with. His plans are to prosper you. His promises are real. Great to hear how you walked it out. My prayers for you along your journey! Psalm 119:105 😊 Many Blessings
Amen Amen keep spreading the words, love you all.❤
Will!! Thanks Erma!!
Always enjoy watching & learning from Better Together.Quality over Quantity. My one dislike video ending keep the story going.

God bless you. The most important thing is always to pray.

Thank You for your video. It's a blessing to see this I am learning from it and I am sure everyone else is learning. Keep doing what you doing . You both stay strong💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 for GOD ALWAYS. Blessings to you both and your family. 😊☮💜💫✝️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #truthisthelight #godbetoglory #peacelovejoygraditude #divinepurpose #Amen
Their love will overcome what ever comes their way. When you are in love ,colour,religion is stronger when you fall in love you don’t see colour or religion .be strong for each other.
God bless you Thomas!!
I Love How Vulnerable & Transparent You Both Are When It Comes To Sharing Your Awesome Love Story Journey With Us To Help Others Along The Way. And I Understand How Communication is Key & We Both Must Be Willing & Ready to Invest Time, Effort, Energy & Emotions To Work Hard at Building a Solid Foundation With God at the Center.
My Take Away Is Put God First, Listen to Know and Recognize God's Voice!!! Be Patient and Obedient to Follow God's Instructions and God Will Order Your Steps & Direct Your Paths To Mr. Or Mrs. Right One For You!!! Just Like Brydon & Mina...Bretter Together Hard Work Through Christ...DID!!! 🙏🏽 🙌🏽 💞 💫 🥰
Happy Saturday and stay Blessed Everyone !!
Good evening,
Putting God first " Doing the Work" is not easy. But it's so worth it at the end. We should always seek God in anything we do. Can't nobody bless you like God can. Jesus love is right.
Grannie B tuning in...
I’m about to go pray now. Got me all convicted and what not. Thank you all for sharing 😭
You are the absolute best 🥲🥲🥲
Very profound segment. Love how God is using you.
Thank you so much!! God bless you!!
I LOVE YOU GUYS...PERIOD!!! MINE!
I see clearly both of your authenticity in your walk with God.😊 I love it. By the way, I also, low key, miss chaotic Daven! 🙃😉
Love watching you both. God bless your union more and more
Thank you so much!! God bless you too!!
Love you guys! Will you make more videos soon? ☺️
We hope to!! We've been so busy and seeking God on what should come next. We'll let you know as soon as we know!
I'm thankful for the spiritual aspects of this video. Thank you for always encouraging prayer and fasting, and following God with earnestness. May He continue to lead you into all truth by His Spirit. You have the Spirit if you believe in Christ and obey Him (kindly see Acts 5:32), and that is how He leads you and transforms you. Kindly read prayerfully 1 Corinthians 12:4-14, and you will see that there are different spiritual gifts. Not everyone needs to be the same. That doesn't mean you don't have the Spirit. I see in both of you the words of wisdom and faith. We will always be safe if we thoroughly study His word and let Him guide us always. And He will continue to guide you and I as we continue to grow in Him. Love and prayers 🙏
Lovely story! Love you guys. Thanks for sharing❤
Hello to you both; the most important thing is pleasing God. Once we love the Lord, he is who we must listen to consistently.
Nothing is simple🎉
Jesus Christ in the middle - stay close to him and rest in his presence. Thanks for sharing.
❤
The Word of God (THE BIBLE) doesn't have denominations or separate religions , only like minded Christians believing in his Word . 1 Corinthians 1:10 . We should not ADD to or TAKE AWAY from God's Word . Revelation 22:18-19 🙏🙏❤️ You are a beautiful, loving couple.😊
🙏🏾❤️
💚💚😇
❤️❤️❤️
Why is it so difficult to accept all people as human beings. Also we must respect all people’s religions.
This is intense talk. It's all about JESUS.
I really don’t want to comment because my son and daughter say I try to write a book. You will always be confronted with good and negative comments towards your relationship/marriage, being black and white. Some of the comments that you will be confronted with from the “Bible” may not be the true words of the Bible! Especially concerning blacks and whites marrying that was a law made by the Southern whites and passed by congress to prohibit whites and blacks marrying. Intermingling continued even after that law was passed. You two love each other that’s what counts that is one word that is used many times in the Bible you to work out the church situation between you two and explain things to your children when they are older enough to understand and decide or love both churches. There are people that are not happy in situations because of church and stop going because of family disputes over religion and they don’t go to church or around their family. Love is what counts and if you are happy, it’s depressing if you love someone and because of color and religion you can’t love the person that’s why there are so many angry people in the world now!!
❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Brydon are you ok ????????
Before you get married you're supposed to talk about religions and how many kids you want and all that good should have done it before you fell in love
He is also not a typical Morman
He sounds like a Christian
Thanks for this comment Eve! It’s a common understanding that Mormons are not Christians and many Christians do not accept Mormons as Christians. But the actual name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and while there are theological differences between Latter-day Saints and many other mainline denominations, Latter-day Saints (Mormons) very much believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation and seek to center their lives around Him and His teachings. It’s this commonality Mina and I have in the centrality of Christ that allowed us to build the bridge between each other. Thank you so much for watching. We’re so grateful to have you on our channel. 🙏 - Brydon
Matthew 6:33
English Standard Version....................33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
If God is first in your life why is it a question?????
aw thank you both for your vulnerability. To even admit that there is still tension that is unresolved before marriage and you're still trying. There are so many things you dont fully know in the relationship but one thing you do know is that God has called both of you to be his children and to be together. united in the flesh. you still seek to obey God despite of all the rejection. Jesus was persecuted, especially in his hometown. I pray that despite the tension you grow closer to Jesus through your suffering. That in the "weaknesses" of your relationship, Jesus Christ's glory shines all the more.
I pray that God gives you the wisdom as your relationship is definitely a unique case. In my conviction, I wouldnt marry someone who I am unequally yoked with (besides the foundational belief in Jesus). But I can see God is working through you both in ways you cannot see. Despite the internal and external conflict, remember in psalm 18: God is your strength, your ROCK. your redeemer.
The song says, "yet not I but through christ in me."
God will rescue you from the pit as He did the first time he called out to you and you surrendered. Jesus said, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand." (john 13:7)
😁❤
PS: By the way, I love the background!! 😇
I followed Him to you, and I followed Him to you.... So beautiful 😍
Please, more and more, yes!! 🤗
Hi. If I may ask. Where are you guys? You've been missed. I hope you're alive and well. Baby #2 ? Lol never mind, just concerned.
Sister knows the Bible well
Jesus is not about religion but love!
Let your love shine for others to see.
Amen!!
This relationship is Too Complicated!
Definitely grateful we don't feel that way. Even though it has been challenging, we literally live a dream every day. God is good. Thanks for watching!
I’ll give you a call for my comment Byrdon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂⏸️
