I found her on Huckabee. Im in love with this woman, figuratively. Not bad looking though. She just has me in tears from her time in church (it reminds me of mines) to everything shes going through but staying strong. Im a black man who is conservative and love every minute of her words. Im different, im a straight black man, married for 26 years, two kids by the same girl, and I believe in my faith.
I love Chonda Pierce. I was so surprised to learn of her heartaches. Even more mysterious is how she can be so funny! I came to Christ because a neighbor named Mrs. Lamb invited me to go to church with her at age of eleven. I've always said a Lamb took me to The Lamb. Then the whole family became worshipers. But we weren't funny! I tend to be a little envious of that.
The Bible is not a fairy tale, but a book of the stories of real people with real problems, the only Perfect one in all the Bible is Jesus! ~~~ Can I quote Chonda on that? What a mature and spiritually rich faith you share! Thank you.
The Lord uses broken things, broken clouds to bring on the rain, broken ground to plant your crops, to produce flowers, bushes, trees,etc. Our broken hearts and lives to draw us to HIM😊. wado,Ann Benson.
@@briendoyle4680 Lord means master, I am born a Jew taught to reject Jesus as my Lord, now He is my forgiver and best friend and my precious Lord. praying for you too, amen
Thank you for sharing this with us, so many people can relate to this beautiful story! Especially some of us older women that didn’t have the right counseling ✅👍👌‼️‼️‼️
I have tried for years to get help for my many childhood Traumas which causes my PTSD. Have been rejected by all. What do I do? I am so bad now I can’t function. I need help desperately. What am I to do? I found a few that does the EMDR therapy but I can’t afford $110-$65 per hour.
Thank you for sharing so openly, Starr. We're very sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing because of childhood trauma. As part of our ministry here at Focus on the Family, we have a staff of pastoral counselors available to offer reassurance, answer questions, and pray with you. We’d like to invite you to call one of them at your convenience. Just call 800-232-6459 between 6:00 A.M. - 8:00 P.M. (MT), Mon - Fri. The Family Help Center staff member who answers the phone will arrange for a pastoral counselor to call you back. There’s no cost for this -- we just want to come alongside you in any way we can. In the meantime, please know you're in our prayers. Specifically, we'll be asking the Lord to bring healing and peace. May His blessings attend you in all your ways, and may you know what it is to live under the shadow of His wing.
So good.I ended up sending this to a zillion friends and family. A charge to answer the question. Who ended up with the most rolls at the end of the month? Or 5/3 /2020
At the end, she says they shared family information with the kids... This is important. Kids without goals and responsibilities will miss the deep family roots and life skills needed for life. We think kids are kids until 26 now! The pony express was using 12 year olds to ride through hostile territory! We need to teach them how to find the ‘Why’ to their questions.
I have never got to see you live (yet, I hope to one day) But I do know from your video's, cd's and book I have learned and helped me a lot to laugh and not always cry Thank you so much I love you, you are the best
God bless Chonda Pierce. She is quite funny. I think even we as Christians get things mixed up. Even though Chonda was given the gift of humour, her family wasn't working according to God's will. Her husband should have been providing for the family and she be staying at home looking after the kids even though she did have a gift of humour and probably was making more money. Maybe her husband felt inadequate after the kids grew up. Men are meant to provide, protect and lead the family. The wives are to take care of the family and home. This is why her daughter doesn't want anything to do with her because she wasn't there for the children growing up and her daughter is probably angry at her. Don't mean to criticize, we all are sinful but this is God's way. I don't care how much money a woman makes, her husband is to provide, protect and lead and the wive is to be the nurturer of the family and home. That is God's way in how he made male and female and that is what works best for families and society as a whole.
You don't read the Bible much, I guess? Or you don't pay attention? "Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time.” Judges 4. She's just one of many.
@@rebornsnuzzles2573 I believe in Biblical Womanhood. Men are to be the leaders, providers and protectors of the home as what the Bible says and women are to look after their husbands, children and homes. Titus 2:3-5. Women were created for man not man for woman. Women are to be helpmeets to their husbands. In God's Holy Word it also mentions women can't be Pastors even though feminism has creeped up into some churches and allows this. An overseer is the husband of one wife. As Jesus is to submit to God and the church is to submit to Christ Women are to submit to their husbands. Sorry, life works best according to God's Word and that's men to be providers, protectors and leaders of the home and the women nujrturers of the family and home. Men were wired to work and provide for their families. If this is taken away from them, they feel they have no purpose and that's what's happening in our society. Feminism has destroyed a lot of men, a lot of marriages and a lot of families. If we go back to what God's Word says for how husbands/wives should run their lives our world would be a much better place.
@@gloriasihlis7679 That's not Biblical at all. That's CULTURAL. The Bible again and again gives examples of women who serve in a variety of capacities and roles, women who are praised and highlighted and elevated for resistance and resilience. Esther, a Queen. Phoebe, a deacon. Thecla, who refused to be married and instead became an apostle. Unfortunately a lot of people confuse what the Bible says with what the church teaches. I hold a Master of Divinity and am a Minister in the Presbyterian Church.
@@gloriasihlis7679 And the Epistles say that men are to give themselves to their wives in the same way that women are to give themselves to their husbands. The Epistles also say that there is neither male nor female; slave or free because all are ONE (equal) in Christ. God didn't intend for any of us to live in bondage. If you've decided for yourself that you want to live in bondage anyway, that's up to you. What you do NOT get to do is judge other people by your misguided beliefs. The Bible talks plenty about that too.
While her husband did provide since he was a high school teacher (literature if I remember correctly), it's just that she provided more. But, like she said at the end of the clip (not her words but the bottom line of what she said), family and children come first. She hopes that other women learn from her mistake and while she could have been on the road, she should have been on the road less than she was. A limited number of days in a month or limited months in a year. I have also seen (on RUclips) Christian fathers who are performers limit the time they are on the road so they can be with their family and help their wives. After having seen other clips of Chonda from RUclips, the drinking problem began about the same time as their daughter was estranged. Here I hear something else, so I can only suppose that the both of them happened about the same time. And yes, the husband should be the provider and the wife the helpmate.
We're very sorry to hear about your loss, Cheryl. Our hearts go out to you at this time. Please know that we’re here to come alongside you in any way we can. We'll be praying for you, asking the Lord to surround you with His loving presence, comfort you, and heal you whenever you hurt. Also, we’d like to invite you to speak with one of our counselors who are here to talk to you on a personal level, pray, and offer assistance. Here’s the contact info: bit.ly/2ItKdoE. May God be with you.
Wait...did she say her father was a preacher and manic depressive?? or did I hear that wrong? Yes ppl had problems throughout the Bible...but then the Resurrection changed everything!! So why do many ppl ignore that glorious part?? I'm just wondering why some never learn the truth. And the Healings and even raising the dead! I think maybe ppl read their Bible and get parts and stop...never getting the full message...seems they put worldly things before God. And we have Free will but everybody wants to blame God.
Manic depression is a diagnosed medical/mental disorder that requires serious treatment for those who need help. Anyone can struggle with it, even Pastor’s and religious leaders.
I just want to say how chonda blesses me more than she could ever know. Thank you

It's a great mystery that God has allowed all circumstances, including the evil. His sovereignty bewilders in the midst of difficult times.
We have free will. Yet everybody wants to blame God!
She so Real and beautiful thank you for sharing
Absolutely love this woman!
Enjoy her honest approach to discussing her past and her relationship with Christ.
Thank God for her mother😍!

The " mess up" in the garden wasnt a surprise to God and neither is all the issues in my life He loves us for no reason
So good.I ended up sending this to a zillion friends and family. A charge to answer the question. Who ended up with the most rolls at the end of the month? Or 5/3 /2020
He absolutely does, but He gives us free will to either accept and love Him, or not love and reject Him.
Thanks so much for sharing your story. God is so good even through the tough times !
Wow. Made me look at some things a lot more clearly. I am so glad I accidentally watched this. Thank you!!!
Thank you for having a "part 2" talking about the nitty gritty stuff really helps us everyday folks.
Thank you for you're in put l have been there also!
Love you Chonda Pierce

That is a great perspective. Thank you for sharing.
I read her book years back when I was going through my own dark time . Laughing in the dark .
Thank you for sharing. I love you and can relate to so much! You inspire me so much. I plan on seeing you in Montgomery next month.
I have never got to see you live (yet, I hope to one day) But I do know from your video's, cd's and book I have learned and helped me a lot to laugh and not always cry Thank you so much I love you, you are the best
I'm crying about that voice mail
Your husband David and you were married for 31 years, I enjoyed hearing that portion of your story.
To see Chonda is on my bucket list
I did not know she was sexually abused my heart broke when I heard this. I wondered how his life turned out now.
I believe it was her own father who was the perpetrator.
I am so blessed to have heard this today. Is your relationship with your daughter better?
Sherri Culpepper no .
Praying for reconciliation.
2nd row piana. Side. Ty Chonda. For your ministery.
Its just a broken world
Look up her Three Little Pigs comedy bit. That pretty much sums it up.
I have brought me to tears
@@lesliescotty9771 That's the beauty of her work, isn't it? Laugh and cry and listen and learn.
I have a three yr old grand son who I have never seen
I didn’t even get to walk my daughter down the aisle or even be at the wedding so I understand
Greg Stickler 😢
Wow

You do realize what that was it was the first sacrifice of animals for the covering of sins
I think more mothers shook be saying, Do you want to be doing that when Jesus comes”? Instead they endorse sin in the children
I lost my husband 2months ago
