We wish it were real but I'm afraid it's not. I wanted to be an apologist evangelist in defending the faith. I wrote, meditated,prayed, worshiped ,made arguments and read and studied the bible more to learn, and then one day, I realized and asked myself, why am I having to defend something that is supposedly real? From that point on going forth, I started my personal evolution in 2014 to 2019 until I became agnostic and a humanist.Now, i don't have to hate anymore , live in shame or be in bondage to faith and belief. I feel a huge weight lifted. Now, I am more principled, and love genuinely without being directed to, or making excuses of being a "work" through the process of sanctification. It's all a contrivance of man from millenniums on end in a pursuit to understanding the cosmos, reality, the issues of life, nature and purpose. I have a peace with myself, everyone and everything. It's inexpressible.

@@peace1710 Which hell? Why do you deny Ahura Mazda? Yasna, the Spirit of the All Consuming Fire of The Magi(Zoroastrian priests)? Sound familiar? Why do You deny Osiris and Vishnu? There was the 7th avatar of Vishnu, The Perfect Man, Lord Rama, who came to be a mediator for humanity. The Vedic texts and Puranas are far far older than the Hebraic texts. So why do you deny these? Have you noticed all men throughout history had explained evil and human incorrigibility on a malevolent spirit or, character or entity ascribed as a devil or demon?

Hey Hawk Nelson, hope you all are well in your endeavors, I can’t say how hard I’m praying for Jon. We love you all and we pray that Jon sees God’s unfailing love in every aspect of life. It’s like losing a brother that we’ve cared for. But there is always hope.
The news brought me here. This is my first time to hear about the band. It's a beautiful song tbh. Jon has his life journey to take on, and so much respect for him. God gives us free-will, but He doesn't stop pursuing those whom He called and it doesn't change the fact that He is still God. God bless the band :)
My testimony about this song (Iceland version) - Part 1: I’m still in love this band no matter what has happened. I was lost for 10 years. During this season, I didn’t want to hear anything about God, nor spirituality, or whatsoever. I just wanted to live my life. I avoided all type of spiritual people and spiritual talk. Well, who needs God? My life was great. Career, family - all was in order. Until one day, I got sick - for one whole year (if not more). Then my life turned upside down. I felt so bad, life was not anymore on my side, I hit the rock bottom, almost had no more passion about life. Going to hospital, seeing the doctor, and taking medicine were part of my daily life. I was scared and so tired about it. But God is so merciful. He was so patient to wait for me to come back to Him. During that one year being sick, I was then introduced to their music. Hawk Nelson has played such a huge role during that season when I came back to Him. I can still remember those days on my sick bed in hospital - when I listened to their music (many times with tears). It is so amazing how God can use music to soften and turn someone’s heart back to Him. “Coz I’m falling, will You catch me, God I need You, to be my rescue. I am broken, will You fix me, God I need You, to be my rescue, be my parachute.” “I know I need You to save me ‘cause no one beside You could save me now, could save me now ...” When I had no more strengths, almost lost hope, then this song appeared and reminded me to surrender and ask Him for help. This song had become my prayer too. I needed to humble myself before God, ask Him for forgiveness and come back to Him. Now I can understand the story of the prodigal son myself.
The greatest man in history is jesus. He had no servants, yet they call him master. He had no degree, yet they call him teacher. He had no medicines, yet they call him healer. He had no army, yet kings fear him. He won no military battle, yet he conquered the world. He commited no crime, yet they crucified him. He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives today. Amen Copy paste and spread this all over

Props to Jonathan Steingard for coming out and being honest. It takes courage to do what he just did. He's a good man and an honest man. I hope those who believe in God don't criticize or spew hatred towards him. There's nothing more sick and wrong than bullying someone into believing. I'll still listen to their music still and yeah much success and happiness to him!
I totally agree with you on that because any judgement would be the most unchristian thing so eone could do so you know it will happen because let's face it over 50% of so called believers are only there for show or to make them feel like there doing something right!!!! It's totally normal to doubt your faith in God not saying everyone has these doubts but it's ok normal and hopefully he will come out a strong man of God in the end! Lord knows I have had my issues with religion and the church I have forgiven the church and those wrapped up in man made belief system/ however sometimes a good church is just what it takes to bring those that have no knowledge of God the Bible etc cam be there first and only introduction to him!! Today I do not judge but I do believe what is right for one may not be for another!!
i used to live in New Mexico and i was always close to the white sands. i recently moved to Washington and watching this video really made me miss home. i just want to be able to run through the white sands dunes again ='(
Part 2: As time went by, finally I got healed from my illness. Thanks be to God, to the doctors and also to my family that had taken care of me. Every time I see this video now, it reminds me - how life is so fragile, and how glad I am and thankful to have that ‘rough season’ in my life. It turned out, the worst season in my life - could actually be the best season! In fact, I learned the most the concept about life, death, value, friendship, and what important in life during that ‘rough season’! Foremost, I have the experience to know and feel Him more. Those ‘hidden hands’ that created heaven and earth, those ‘hidden hands’ that created me, touched my heart and gave me life once again. For those who are in the desert of life and feel tired, know that you are not alone. He is there even if maybe you don’t see Him. Rest your worry in Him. If you’ve been away from Him - maybe it’s time to come back now? How long have you been away for, 3 years, 5 years, 20 years? In my case, Father had been patiently waiting for me even after 10 years of being away from Him and I had even never imagined to come back to Him! I have a client of mine who left God for 40 years and then he came back to Him, yes - after 40 years! Yes, there is nothing impossible for God. What is too difficult for Him? I believe human’s heart is the hardest material on earth instead of diamond. But He is God of heaven and earth. Allow Him to touch your heart. Give your both ears to listen. This is (very) important. Don’t be too busy running around to look for solution. Sometimes all you have to do is just sitting, give your ears and heart to listen, and know that He is God. He is in control. I believe God won’t hide His face for those who humble enough whole heartedly seeking for Him. Never lose hope.
This is my first time hearing the band and this is what i needed exactly in my life jon knows who is real he knows what ever is troubling him my prayers are with him. Thank you my spirit needs this so much
PSALMS 1:1-2 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Sad.. the best thing we can do is not judge and pray for him. "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition"
Psalm 37 verse 23-24The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall. For the Lord holds them by the hand.
Dang this is crazy! I’ve been away from God for soo long. I heard of this band and even tho I was never a fan, it breaks my heart and realize that I have been a lost sheep as well. I see now when we go away from god and decide not to choose him, that means we are choosing sin. This is an eye opener for me.
This is the epitome of where most Christians are at now adays because of the mix and mash of culture and ideologies and the religious system of the church instead of it being what it use to be and is supposed to be in the end this song is very beautiful because it shows he had a relationship with Jesus but also sad it's like a break up song with God but a plead for help for a work of salvation in the end God's will ... will be done and I've been here numerous times in the end God truly had shown through for me through to many signs that are COINCIDENCES that are unexplainable and also demons that were manifested that came out of me and just experiencing the supernatural in the end I get why people become atheist or agnostic and why Christians are bold and say what they say in the end there truly is a cosmic battle of ones soul and there's no doubt in that because everyone feels it and has felt it from the beginning of time we all are searching for purpose and reason of life and in the end we are searching for the creator and the father and the question... why are we here. Anyways much love too all seek Christ in all humitly God uses the wisdom of men and the wise against themselves to stir up unbelief in which the real who really Love him and are for him will come back no matter how much the enemy who is the great deceiver comes against you / us and to the ones that give up and dont try everything including blind faith sometimes and dedicating yourself again to christ will be lost in the end Jesus did say many will fall away in the end times but be of good cheer clearly he is coming back soon to show the doubters and mockers the truth and too the doubters and mockers I get it truly do there is love for you hopefully you will one day see what you need to see to have internal peace and a hope that comes from not in the world also thank you for still being able to care for people in the end keep on seeking and you will find out the truth . Sometimes just gotta be like a child again.
This is such a powerful song that impacts to so many people coz we really need to depend on Jesus for we really cant do anything without him.Thank you Hawk Nelson😍😁❤❤
God shows mercy and kindness, but they are not the same. Mercy reserves the punishment we deserve; mercy gives us undeserved blessings. By mercy, God chose to cancel out our sin debt, by sacrificing his perfect Son for us (Titus 3:5; 2 Corinthians 5:21). But he goes even farther than mercy, extending it to his enemies (Romans 5:10). He offers us forgiveness (Hebrews 8:12; Ephesians 1:7), peace (Colossians 1:19-20), abundant life (John 10:10), eternal treasure (Luke 12:33), his Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13), and someday heaven with him (John 3:16-18), when we accept his gift and believe in in His sacrifice.

This is amazing I think that for some people this song will lift people up on bad days or when people get bullied and even nervous this song will help lift people up on the hard time and you are amazing
Look, just because he doesn't believe in your "all good all the time" God doesn't make him evil. And if your God is truly a loving and not selfish God, he won't endure eternal excruciating suffering just for not believing in Your God
@@GTR-gg9kp didn't used to be, I was a Catholic. I went to Catholic school, church, did all the sacraments like first communion, first confession. I just don't believe in him anymore, he is a God of the gaps and I know the things he's used to explain will eventually be explained logically with science. And it's not like he is as good moraly as you say he is either, for starters no "loving God" creates hell (a place where non believers are torchered with no end for all eternity). Second: torcher and rape aren't listed in the ten commandments but murder is. Which is interesting considering the amount of people God has murdered in the old testament ( m.ruclips.net/video/C9AOuedvOnI/видео.html ). Oh and if you have ever worked on Sunday you should be stoned to death, same punishment if you are Gay but I have a feeling that you think that is justified
@@Ryan-jl9ii brotha it sounds like you went thru some hard times but Jesus Christ has a place for you and he loves you no matter what. He already payed the price and forgiving you for all your sins. When you are ready he will welcome you with open arms!! Guaranteed that
@@GTR-gg9kp the thing is, I don't get why he had to die. Because the Bible says that he died to open up the gates of heaven because they were closed when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. God is supposedly all powerful, why can't he just open up the gates of heaven without having to become human and die?
It's not that he wants to not and is happy about not believing. He just is struggling as all Christian's do. We in the Christian community need to somehow reach out and let him know he's still accepted and loved, and even if he doesn't believe in God, God still believes in him. We're here for you man. I am.
Don't mention God to him, atheists don't like "God still believes in you", "well pray for you" (as if beliefs were a sickness), "you'll get through this" I like what you were saying, you are one of the nice commenters but just let him believe what he believes in
@@Ryan-jl9ii The thing is he never said he wants to be an atheist. There are many Christian's who at points of their lives struggle to believe in God. Until he says that he truly doesn't want to believe in God and chooses that life style, then I will keep on hoping for his return to the belief in God.
As one person just because the lead singer turned away from Christianity doesn't mean the song loses it's meaning. He or she also said that it might even enhance it because even though the lead singer turned away from Christianity God still uses it to minister to us.
I just found out about it, and I came here, I feel like the words of this song are so fit for Jon in these moments.. Pray for him, I know how difficult it is to struggle with these feelings, I had been trough this last year and I asked God for miraculous sign to boost my faith and He answered after He allowed some harsh situation in my life, God is so Great.All praise to our Lord Jesus Christ.
@@mladinmatei Maybe he will return. Maybe he has truly seen the break in the veil of ignorance and the light of reality will pull him away from fantasy.
I did, and as difficult as it is to process this, I'm choosing to stay in faith and pray for him. He was meant to be a child of our Lord and Saviour...there is still hope for our brother of God 🙏🏻
@Andre Pauli - I know you mean well, but saying such a thing can be received as condescending and insensitive. I'm certain your heart is in the right place. But, trust that he knows what is best for him. Believing for the supernatural is exactly what some people need to cope with life. For others it is accepting that the supernatural is not there. How would it feel if I said, "You were mean to be a rational minded person who doesn't believe in myths. There is still hope for you to see the truth...." It would be rude. What this guy needs is love, companionship, and someone listening. Not eveyrone telling him what to do.
I didn't know this band existed until the news popped up in my feed that another CCM musician came out as an unbeliever. After clicking on a video talking about what happened, this video appeared in my recommendations. So, I thought I'd drop by to say that this situation will hopefully remind everyone of how one's faith in God should rest only in God, and not in how much faith other people have (or don't have). It doesn't matter how famous, popular, or influential these other people are. As Acts 10:34 (KJV) puts it, "...God is no respecter of persons" meaning that God does not show favoritism to anyone based on their social status.
Part 3 (Final): Back to this song Parachute. Now you know why this song is very special to me. When I saw the video for the first time, I was so curious where it was made. After doing some research, I found out that it was made in Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland. It looks a pretty cool place to visit. I asked God to give me chance to visit this place someday when I got healed. You know what? After I got healed, God really fulfilled that wish. I went to the exact same place where this video was made! I travelled thousands of miles just to be there! Of course this happened before Corona. 😀 When I was there, I felt like being in Jerusalem. For me, that place is place of hope. A place that reminds me that God is faithful. A place that reminds me to never lose hope even when life gets rough. I can still remember the view of that black sand beach, the strong wind, the fresh sea air, the rough wave, everything ... I even sat on the same basalt columns where the members of the band sat (look at the final part of the video). Now that I found back my faith, I think this is the best thing that happened to me these last years. I won’t trade it back. Sure I’m still on my journey. That’s why I need Him every time in my life. But yeah, Jesus gives me joy and peace that I had been asking for - He is the one true love that I was looking for.
How do you think he never knew Jesus? He was the son of a Pastor and the lead singer of a Christian band. Why would he sing for a Christian band if he didn't believe to begin with? Why didn't he just become the singer of a regular band? I think he knew Jesus too well to believe in him
@@Ryan-jl9ii he knew about jesus ,but did he trust him as lord and savior? Of course there are prodicals, but to deny him means you never had a personal relationship with the living christ , read the parable in Matthew about this very thing. If you born again and have a personal relationship with jesus. You dont just walk away and deny him .
@Mavors in that case then he should be back one day and will be stronger then before, it might be God's divine purpose for John to grow through that so he knows how it feels and later he will help those who struggle with faith same like he did...
Jon is the founder of the band and due to the revelation of Christianity and having almost none of his prayers and questions answered throughout the whole decade of 2010s, he stopped believing in God after being relieved of his fatal, chronic depression. That’s really all you need to know about Steingard.
Much Aliens lately in Brazil. Seen UFO have filmed them here trust me you feel it in the whole body if you see one. I want to meet the Aliens! Yes i mean it! Liam Stockholm, Sweden
He was brought up in the Lord and he will return. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
We wish it were real but I'm afraid it's not. I wanted to be an apologist evangelist in defending the faith. I wrote, meditated,prayed, worshiped ,made arguments and read and studied the bible more to learn, and then one day, I realized and asked myself, why am I having to defend something that is supposedly real? From that point on going forth, I started my personal evolution in 2014 to 2019 until I became agnostic and a humanist.Now, i don't have to hate anymore , live in shame or be in bondage to faith and belief. I feel a huge weight lifted. Now, I am more principled, and love genuinely without being directed to, or making excuses of being a "work" through the process of sanctification. It's all a contrivance of man from millenniums on end in a pursuit to understanding the cosmos, reality, the issues of life, nature and purpose. I have a peace with myself, everyone and everything. It's inexpressible.

Lord knows I have had my issues with religion and the church I have forgiven the church and those wrapped up in man made belief system/ however sometimes a good church is just what it takes to bring those that have no knowledge of God the Bible etc cam be there first and only introduction to him!! Today I do not judge but I do believe what is right for one may not be for another!!
I like you, you are the first person I've seen to be ok with him not believing anymore
@@Ryan-jl9ii I don't think they are ok with it, but I think they want to be encouraging and not judgemental
i used to live in New Mexico and i was always close to the white sands. i recently moved to Washington and watching this video really made me miss home. i just want to be able to run through the white sands dunes again ='(

Part 2:
As time went by, finally I got healed from my illness. Thanks be to God, to the doctors and also to my family that had taken care of me.
Every time I see this video now, it reminds me - how life is so fragile, and how glad I am and thankful to have that ‘rough season’ in my life. It turned out, the worst season in my life - could actually be the best season! In fact, I learned the most the concept about life, death, value, friendship, and what important in life during that ‘rough season’! Foremost, I have the experience to know and feel Him more. Those ‘hidden hands’ that created heaven and earth, those ‘hidden hands’ that created me, touched my heart and gave me life once again.
For those who are in the desert of life and feel tired, know that you are not alone. He is there even if maybe you don’t see Him. Rest your worry in Him. If you’ve been away from Him - maybe it’s time to come back now? How long have you been away for, 3 years, 5 years, 20 years? In my case, Father had been patiently waiting for me even after 10 years of being away from Him and I had even never imagined to come back to Him! I have a client of mine who left God for 40 years and then he came back to Him, yes - after 40 years!
Yes, there is nothing impossible for God. What is too difficult for Him? I believe human’s heart is the hardest material on earth instead of diamond. But He is God of heaven and earth. Allow Him to touch your heart. Give your both ears to listen. This is (very) important. Don’t be too busy running around to look for solution. Sometimes all you have to do is just sitting, give your ears and heart to listen, and know that He is God. He is in control. I believe God won’t hide His face for those who humble enough whole heartedly seeking for Him.
Never lose hope.
This is my first time hearing the band and this is what i needed exactly in my life jon knows who is real he knows what ever is troubling him my prayers are with him. Thank you my spirit needs this so much
PSALMS 1:1-2
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Sad.. the best thing we can do is not judge and pray for him.
"Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition"
Praying is a waste of time
@@greggb681 - Says you and you are entitled to your opinion.
@@truthkeeperfilms Actually, I think it's scientifically proven to be a waste of time. Less effective than doing nothing actually.
@@truthkeeperfilms praying is very important.
@@troyajohnson26 - Yes for atheists it makes no sense. For us, it’s the best use of time. Your portraying your view on us. It doesn’t work lol
Never knew this band until today. Such a good song.
Drops in the ocean Is another great song by them
Definitivamente mi Hermano Jon, Dios te ama y sigue esperando con los brazos abiertos.
Psalm 37 verse 23-24The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall. For the Lord holds them by the hand.
Just in time .....exactly what I needed .
Always , our God is right on time.
TYJ
may we rest in the comfort of knowing that our Lord holds us! may we in turn hold on to Him!
Dang this is crazy! I’ve been away from God for soo long. I heard of this band and even tho I was never a fan, it breaks my heart and realize that I have been a lost sheep as well. I see now when we go away from god and decide not to choose him, that means we are choosing sin. This is an eye opener for me.
Adamjt10 3:16 I'm glad your coming back!!! Run to God brother 😊
This is the epitome of where most Christians are at now adays because of the mix and mash of culture and ideologies and the religious system of the church instead of it being what it use to be and is supposed to be in the end this song is very beautiful because it shows he had a relationship with Jesus but also sad it's like a break up song with God but a plead for help for a work of salvation in the end God's will ... will be done and I've been here numerous times in the end God truly had shown through for me through to many signs that are COINCIDENCES that are unexplainable and also demons that were manifested that came out of me and just experiencing the supernatural in the end I get why people become atheist or agnostic and why Christians are bold and say what they say in the end there truly is a cosmic battle of ones soul and there's no doubt in that because everyone feels it and has felt it from the beginning of time we all are searching for purpose and reason of life and in the end we are searching for the creator and the father and the question... why are we here. Anyways much love too all seek Christ in all humitly God uses the wisdom of men and the wise against themselves to stir up unbelief in which the real who really Love him and are for him will come back no matter how much the enemy who is the great deceiver comes against you / us and to the ones that give up and dont try everything including blind faith sometimes and dedicating yourself again to christ will be lost in the end Jesus did say many will fall away in the end times but be of good cheer clearly he is coming back soon to show the doubters and mockers the truth and too the doubters and mockers I get it truly do there is love for you hopefully you will one day see what you need to see to have internal peace and a hope that comes from not in the world also thank you for still being able to care for people in the end keep on seeking and you will find out the truth . Sometimes just gotta be like a child again.
Those who have truly put on His parachute are rescued. He who has the Son has life. Keep up the good fight of faith, guys!
Thank YOU DADDY for saving all our brothers and sisters 😘
Thank God for knowing you. Keep creating uplifting music for the King
This is such a powerful song that impacts to so many people coz we really need to depend on Jesus for we really cant do anything without him.Thank you Hawk Nelson😍😁❤❤
God shows mercy and kindness, but they are not the same. Mercy reserves the punishment we deserve; mercy gives us undeserved blessings. By mercy, God chose to cancel out our sin debt, by sacrificing his perfect Son for us (Titus 3:5; 2 Corinthians 5:21). But he goes even farther than mercy, extending it to his enemies (Romans 5:10). He offers us forgiveness (Hebrews 8:12; Ephesians 1:7), peace (Colossians 1:19-20), abundant life (John 10:10), eternal treasure (Luke 12:33), his Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13), and someday heaven with him (John 3:16-18), when we accept his gift and believe in in His sacrifice.
You need to come to Massachusetts again!!! You're killer live.
Searched for you here because of the news. I pray that God be your parachute🙏
LYRICS:
The weight of my mistakes
My regrets and all my shame
Like gravity, it's pulling me
The waves keep crashing in
Things I've done and who I've been
The gravity, it's pulling me
I am falling, will You catch me?
God, I need You to be my rescue
I am broken, will You fix me?
God, I need You to be my rescue
Be my parachute
The fear that I'm alone
Around my neck like a stone
And gravity, it's pulling me
I've heard that You are good and You are strong
And if I could I would believe
Help me to believe
'Cause I am falling, will You catch me?
God, I need You to be my rescue
I am broken, will You fix me?
God, I need You to be my rescue
Be my parachute
I know I need You to save me
'Cause no one beside You
Could save me now
Could save me now
'Cause I am falling, will You catch me?
God, I need You to be my rescue
I am broken, will You fix me?
God, I need You to be my rescue...
Be my parachute, parachute
Be my parachute, parachute
Be my parachute
Beautiful song 💓
such a simple yet good music video. it's a nice song
Waiting for the time when Jon will post on his instagram that GOD FOUND ME AGAIN❤
Hawk Nelson, 😊🥰We are waiting for more praising musics from you.......
He renounced his faith. He doesn't believe anymore. 😢
Your last album has blessed me so much.. Thank God 😀👍
First of all, I LOVE this song!! Second, the fact that this was all shot on an iPhone is flipping AWESOME 👏🏻
Thiss song hit me hard
Just Awesome.!!❤️
Never heard of them until today but they sound nice! No comment on his newfound belief. His journey is his OWN.
maybe we're still falling, maybe we'll say He's not catching us, but He's there, being our parachute 💜
This new album is absolutely amazing. Something incredibly different - the music and lyrics resonates in a most powerful way.
This is amazing I think that for some people this song will lift people up on bad days or when people get bullied and even nervous this song will help lift people up on the hard time and you are amazing
Brother, for me you are wonderful. Greetings from Romania!
This is SO EPIC!
God bless you guys! Your music has strengthened my love for Christ! Well done. I’m proud to call you my brothers
Love this song😍💚🙏
Love you Hawk Nelson
I LOVE THIS ❤️🙌🔥🙏👏👏
Devil won the fight for you brotha.. but GOD will always wait for you with open arms! Jesus Christ loves you and forgives you already!
Look, just because he doesn't believe in your "all good all the time" God doesn't make him evil. And if your God is truly a loving and not selfish God, he won't endure eternal excruciating suffering just for not believing in Your God
@@Ryan-jl9ii atheist I'm sure, Jesus Christ Loves you too brotha!
@@GTR-gg9kp didn't used to be, I was a Catholic. I went to Catholic school, church, did all the sacraments like first communion, first confession. I just don't believe in him anymore, he is a God of the gaps and I know the things he's used to explain will eventually be explained logically with science. And it's not like he is as good moraly as you say he is either, for starters no "loving God" creates hell (a place where non believers are torchered with no end for all eternity). Second: torcher and rape aren't listed in the ten commandments but murder is. Which is interesting considering the amount of people God has murdered in the old testament ( m.ruclips.net/video/C9AOuedvOnI/видео.html ). Oh and if you have ever worked on Sunday you should be stoned to death, same punishment if you are Gay but I have a feeling that you think that is justified
@@Ryan-jl9ii brotha it sounds like you went thru some hard times but Jesus Christ has a place for you and he loves you no matter what. He already payed the price and forgiving you for all your sins. When you are ready he will welcome you with open arms!! Guaranteed that
@@GTR-gg9kp the thing is, I don't get why he had to die. Because the Bible says that he died to open up the gates of heaven because they were closed when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. God is supposedly all powerful, why can't he just open up the gates of heaven without having to become human and die?
Thank you for this song!! This is my song when Im always down. 🥺❤️❤️
Praying for you Jon.I know it is hard to be a Christian but it’s worth it.Jesus loves you.
I really needed this ! Thank you for this beautiful song!
I love this song ❤️❤️
These songs are incredible, and happy to have found this band in such a trialling time in my own life!!
This song is just❤
It's not that he wants to not and is happy about not believing. He just is struggling as all Christian's do. We in the Christian community need to somehow reach out and let him know he's still accepted and loved, and even if he doesn't believe in God, God still believes in him. We're here for you man. I am.
Don't mention God to him, atheists don't like "God still believes in you", "well pray for you" (as if beliefs were a sickness), "you'll get through this"
I like what you were saying, you are one of the nice commenters but just let him believe what he believes in
@@Ryan-jl9ii The thing is he never said he wants to be an atheist. There are many Christian's who at points of their lives struggle to believe in God. Until he says that he truly doesn't want to believe in God and chooses that life style, then I will keep on hoping for his return to the belief in God.
As one person just because the lead singer turned away from Christianity doesn't mean the song loses it's meaning. He or she also said that it might even enhance it because even though the lead singer turned away from Christianity God still uses it to minister to us.
Good vibes from this
How many came after Jon coming out as no longer believing in god?
I just found out about it, and I came here, I feel like the words of this song are so fit for Jon in these moments.. Pray for him, I know how difficult it is to struggle with these feelings, I had been trough this last year and I asked God for miraculous sign to boost my faith and He answered after He allowed some harsh situation in my life, God is so Great.All praise to our Lord Jesus Christ.
@@mladinmatei Maybe he will return. Maybe he has truly seen the break in the veil of ignorance and the light of reality will pull him away from fantasy.
I did, and as difficult as it is to process this, I'm choosing to stay in faith and pray for him. He was meant to be a child of our Lord and Saviour...there is still hope for our brother of God 🙏🏻
@Andre Pauli - I know you mean well, but saying such a thing can be received as condescending and insensitive. I'm certain your heart is in the right place. But, trust that he knows what is best for him. Believing for the supernatural is exactly what some people need to cope with life. For others it is accepting that the supernatural is not there. How would it feel if I said, "You were mean to be a rational minded person who doesn't believe in myths. There is still hope for you to see the truth...." It would be rude. What this guy needs is love, companionship, and someone listening. Not eveyrone telling him what to do.
@@igobyhank9262 Well put.
Istg legit this is TOO UNDERRATED
God bless you!!! You really feed my soul with your music ♥
"Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant."
I LOVE U HAWK NELSON
My favorite song
Beautiful ❤️
He has so good. Your music also... Love You Nelson.
wow
beautiful song
This is one of my fav songs, thank you guys for this song! Congrats from Brazil
Why i really love this song!? Thanks for made a beautiful song. :)
I wish they didn’t disband
But life has to move on. Sometime u lose ppl we love to watch and listen to.
i am glad he stopped believing
Beautiful video and meaning 😻😻😻😻
I didn't know this band existed until the news popped up in my feed that another CCM musician came out as an unbeliever. After clicking on a video talking about what happened, this video appeared in my recommendations. So, I thought I'd drop by to say that this situation will hopefully remind everyone of how one's faith in God should rest only in God, and not in how much faith other people have (or don't have). It doesn't matter how famous, popular, or influential these other people are. As Acts 10:34 (KJV) puts it, "...God is no respecter of persons" meaning that God does not show favoritism to anyone based on their social status.
Really loved the cinematography in this one and that you guys used an iPhone, did you use any external lens adapters for the iPhone?
Yea, It looks like they used a wide angle lens. They obviously used a gimbal as well.
Mitch E Mu yeah, definitely. I love how all of the videos are unique from each other but all have the same polished look
Indeed
Hey thanks! Yes we used a Moment Wide lens, and a Movi gimbal for iphone. It was quite the contraption!
Jon Steingard lol nice! You guys should try their anamorphic lens for a video
Muito Bom
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Amei ❤️❤️❤️
Part 3 (Final):
Back to this song Parachute.
Now you know why this song is very special to me. When I saw the video for the first time, I was so curious where it was made. After doing some research, I found out that it was made in Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland. It looks a pretty cool place to visit.
I asked God to give me chance to visit this place someday when I got healed. You know what? After I got healed, God really fulfilled that wish. I went to the exact same place where this video was made! I travelled thousands of miles just to be there! Of course this happened before Corona. 😀 When I was there, I felt like being in Jerusalem. For me, that place is place of hope. A place that reminds me that God is faithful. A place that reminds me to never lose hope even when life gets rough.
I can still remember the view of that black sand beach, the strong wind, the fresh sea air, the rough wave, everything ... I even sat on the same basalt columns where the members of the band sat (look at the final part of the video).
Now that I found back my faith, I think this is the best thing that happened to me these last years. I won’t trade it back. Sure I’m still on my journey. That’s why I need Him every time in my life. But yeah, Jesus gives me joy and peace that I had been asking for - He is the one true love that I was looking for.
I LOVE IT💙
Beautiful Song!
Hawk! You are such an inspiration! My cousin was a homosexual too, just like you... but he found the lord, and is now back on the straight and narrow.
Hawk, if you need strength in this difficult time contact your local humanist chapter for a friend/conversation/acceptance.
@I leave mean comments i've never seen a more accurate username lol
I doubt that he’s probably just back in the closet because of you
That is truly awful, you are teaching him to hate who he is and love something he truly can't
Leads me to believe he never knew jesus to begin with . MARK 4 ,3-9
How do you think he never knew Jesus? He was the son of a Pastor and the lead singer of a Christian band. Why would he sing for a Christian band if he didn't believe to begin with? Why didn't he just become the singer of a regular band? I think he knew Jesus too well to believe in him
@@Ryan-jl9ii he knew about jesus ,but did he trust him as lord and savior? Of course there are prodicals, but to deny him means you never had a personal relationship with the living christ , read the parable in Matthew about this very thing. If you born again and have a personal relationship with jesus. You dont just walk away and deny him .
@Mavors in that case then he should be back one day and will be stronger then before, it might be God's divine purpose for John to grow through that so he knows how it feels and later he will help those who struggle with faith same like he did...
Love it😁music video on point
You guys are........................awesome
Woow very nice aKnd nice lyrics too. In times like these all we need is the Lord Jesus Christ
Hallelujah, Yahweh The Highest
GREAT SONG
Great song. The album is all good. Go get it
You deserve more subs and More Likes Your Music are The Best!
Marty Sampson of hillsong and you Jon. you are always in our prayers..
Awesome song ❤️👍🏽👏🏽
Beautiful❣️
I absolutely love this song...and the video is beautiful. :)
Nicely done boyz!
listened to them growing up . this is the first new song i've heard in 15 years or more. I see a bunch of comments about "jon" ... what did i miss?
Jon is the founder of the band and due to the revelation of Christianity and having almost none of his prayers and questions answered throughout the whole decade of 2010s, he stopped believing in God after being relieved of his fatal, chronic depression. That’s really all you need to know about Steingard.
You cant no longer believe in God it's impossible to ignore His existence. Hes just allowing sin to rule over him now.
Why is it impossible to ignore his existence?
Great MV 👊👊👊
Love It
Such a beautiful song and music video! Great job as always guys 😁
Pretty awesome video for an iPhone! I personally would have used an even better camera for that location specifically though.
❤❤❤ Loved it
Brasil ✌
Much Aliens lately in Brazil. Seen UFO have filmed them here trust me you feel it in the whole body if you see one. I want to meet the Aliens! Yes i mean it! Liam Stockholm, Sweden
