I strive for a marriage like yours! You have taught me how to not have a toxic relationship, but a loving one and the sacrifice it takes! God bless you guys 💕
To have a good marriage, you both have to put God first, and have a good relationship with him. My husband and I are Christians, and have been married for 18 years. Like all marriages, we have had ups and downs, but last year, we got to the point that we argued constantly and didn't even feel like we loved each other any more. No one cheated or anything, it was just, the little stuff that builds up in marriage. We both read the book,“The Spirit Filled Life”, by Charles Stanley, and the Lord used that book TO SAVE OUR MARRIAGE! We are now very much in love, with the Lord, and each other!
Lynn Millard thank you!!! I actually just ordered the book for me and my ex gf! I was previously in not a very God honoring relationship with her and we split because of that and it was toxic:/ I still love her so much and she does as well but we knew we had to be single and draw near to him so that is where we are now. It has been 5 months but we still need more time. Thank you:)
"the question is have you asked God to reveal to you the plan He has for your life"? okay, Jesus, I felt that. 😭 I felt him talking to me through this video, I was praying about this topic of my life earlier and that's what I'm currently praying for, so thank you guys for doing what He calls you to do❤️🙏🏻 sending love from Brazil ❤️
You guys have been a great example for me. I'm 17 years old and I'm so grateful that I have an example of what a loving and godly marriage should be like. Thank you 💛
Wow- I can see such an incredible shift in you two, it feels like the holy spirit is all over you guys recently, I can't help think that its spending time listing to God. I absolutely love that you say of corse you can hear God because you can hear satin lol its the TRUTH. I have been praying for you two and you're channel and im so excited. I bless you two with deeper intimacy with God and each other, with tuned ears to hear with eyes to see and a sensitive heart, I bless this channel to reach the un reached- In Jesus Name!
Whoever anyone says you can hear God back, I try to say something like "so you think he just stopped after the bible?" No, God will fight on our team for us, he will save, he will heal, and he will speak
If the video above offends you because they didn’t officially say “XYZ” then I have to question if you are truly a Christian. As a black young woman but as a CHRISTIAN first, I believe our eyes should not be focused on physical things but on spiritual things. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12 Even though they said that they love black people and have black friends, it doesn’t matter what they or anyone else says at the end of the day. If you know what God says about you and that he has created you for a purpose for his glory, no one can make you feel inferior without your permission (Eleanor Roosevelt). If you have to wait for your favorite RUclipsr or Instagrammer to say something that God has already said about you then you never believed Him to begin with. And don’t even get started with “white privilege” because that doesn’t exist.
He spoke to me a few times. 1st time is when I found out I had Rumithriod arthritis & I was in despair my thoughts were full of worry for my future because how sick I was but then like when you give a bottle to a baby I heard "Be still and know that I am God" a very soft voice I instantly felt better then just last night I have been asking him will I have my own family for years then I finally like, he told me it felt like I just knew out of nowhere I saw a baby & I couldnt stop crying almost my whole life I always used my future goals to have a family to keep me going almost everything I do I do for my future family I felt like I won the lottery idk how we can deserve something so beautiful he just simply loves us. It's such a over whelming feeling of .. it's the greatest gift to my heart & soul all the hard work I have done will be rewarded & I cant explain how greatful & its like.. over whelming happiness & I told him I needed to learn about christian/Catholic couples because I never really had a real example . People dont even get married anymore.. I come from a hardplace so sure enough really fast I found yall & the internet is so beautiful I got to learn what I never seen & I know my hearts desires are real & they will be real life soon Thank God God bless yall ♡ thank you.♡
I am black myself and God is healing my wounds at this moment because I never realise that I was turely hurt. 😭. Black lives matters and all lives matters to God ❤️
As a black person who loves your channel, I want to thank y’all for expressing your thoughts on the current situation going on in the world. Though it should go without saying ( if you follow the Bible and have a transformed heart) that you love all people, it still helps your black audience ( in my opinion) to know that we are in your thoughts and prayers. You two obviously voice truth, and certainly follow the greatest commandments, to love the Lord with all of your heart and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Ya’lls lives as a couple speak for itself. But still, thank you for speaking. ❤️
Right on time. This was what God spoke to me today through the sermon and yesterday through a self study...LISTENING. And I still have been watching videos of other people's lives feeling sad instead of listening to the God of all creation who has been asking me to come sit in his presence listening. This really hit home.
I have to say that I read the Bible, listen to sermons, listen to Christian music, and pray everyday by staying still I have to admit that I almost never do it. And this is so interesting because it happens that when I am in nature I have some times when I stay still and I admire God's creation, and at those moments I can hear God's voice clearer. These moments are rare, but I definitely have to make time to be more still. Thank you again for sharing your faith and knowledge!!!
Everytime i watch this video I feel refreshed and reminded of how important having a connect with god is. I forget that listening to god is just as important as talking to him. He hints at stuff and I go a different way or choose to go about something a different way not realising what god would want or what plans he has for me. This video was a good reminder and as I’ve been born and raised as a Christian this reminds me eventhough with this covid year anything is possible with god by your side and listening to him. Love this and I subscribed:)
I Really Like what you said about God Blessing you with your children and not to not have time for him because we are busy with our children. He is suppose to be our #1 no matter what. It is hard to sit down and get quiet and it takes practice. We are all so use to being busy busy busy. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
ABSOLUTELY true about the time thing. There are times where I put Him first in my morning even when im running late and im tempted to skip it....He makes up the difference and Im always fine!! He has done this countless times for me.
Wow! This video is literally everything I have been thinking. I love how you guys make everything Christ centred, no matter the situation. The enemy is only trying to stir up trouble and antagonise people with issues that at the core are simply because of Sin. I have also been thinking how amazing it is that I talk to the God that made the SUN!!! That is amazing! Blessings from London xx
Hi Ashley! We have two awesome worship playlist. You can find them here: ruclips.net/video/Ql_A5Mgpe1g/видео.html ruclips.net/video/OODCQ_lhodU/видео.html
I love the way you guys tell each other "Say what you talked about yesterday" or "tell them what you felt the Lord spoke to you the other day". This shows you guys are actively both receiving from the Lord and sharing with each other and speaking life and word of God to each other on a daily basis. This is awesome! It makes me look forward to having a spouse one day who will be pursuing the Lord with me and as iron sharpens iron we would spur each other on to love the Lord even more and trust and follow the Lord even more every day! Amen! Praise the Lord for your love and desire and pursuit of the Lord and unity in love!
I'm kinda emotional right know because my priest (I'm Catholic) said the same thing today in Mass. "Why we care so much about what people think us? Why we're not worrying about what God thinks of us? That's what we should care about." And that touched me so much. And now you guys saying basically the same thing... well that's a message
hey i just wanna say please don't trust catholicism. trust GOD. you shouldnt pray to mary or any saint and angel. there is only ONE MEDIATOR between GOD and man and that is JESUS
@@userm180 I'm sorry you think that way, but I am Catholic exactly because I trust only God and the Church Jesus build on Peter. You're probably protestant so I get you don't understand about Our Lady or the saints. If you ever wanna talk about it, I'm here. I'm just so sorry that people think like that because I feel you're missing so much. Once you find Jesus himself on the sacraments, there's no place you rather be. May the Lord be with you.
@@lisagomes5946 the church means us, JESUS' people. JESUS said to not make idols in the old testament and catholics do that by praying to mary. do you want what i'm trying to say?
@@userm180 we do not make idols, we only worship God. About Mary, we venerate Her, and this act is old as the church itself. The Virgin Mary is the Mother of Jesus, God. She's a creature of the Lord, so she can't be an idol, but she is waaay blessed than anyone else, because can you imagine a grace great than be the Mother of God? And about the praying to Mary, we ask her to intercede on the behalf of us to Jesus as she interceded, for example, in Cana. Jesus is the only mediator, but you can't ask your mother or friends to pray for you? This is what we're doing, asking our Mother (Mary) to pray for us. I hope this can clarify a little. Even though you don't believe, and I respect that, I recommend to you read what the Catholic church has to say about this things. We have the Catechism and documents saying what we believe and why we do that, we don't do (or interprete) whatever we want hahah. I don't know what previous experiences you had with Catholicism, but I hope God can chance that for you. And I'm sorry, what is to be non-demoninational? Is it just to be protestant in general? Be in peace!
Yes 💕 listening is the goal in prayer. I don’t ask for anything when I pray and just meditate on His will and what He requires me to do with my concerns. Any answers I may be looking for always comes from His direction.
You definitely used the Wisdom which God blessed you with to respond to those questions. Because most people asking this are only wanting more division. God loves all shades from dark to light and the division the enemy is trying to wedge in this nation is NOT OF God. God wants a revival within us. To look to him and not society. Jesus Loves Us all.
Thank you for sharing this message. There are moments I feel discouraged in finding my calling. But you’ve helped remind me that God does indeed have a plan for my life.
Nate and Sutton thank you both for this wonderful message from the Lord❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so inspiring and wonderful. Praise God for both you and those pre ious angels 👼 you have. They truly have godly parents in you. God bless and keep you both ever so very close to Him. Love you both❤️💣❤️💣❤️💣❤️💣❤️💣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
My heart was broken today. Very unexpected. I found this so encouraging, so much of what you've shared has touched my heart and fueled hope. Thank you for sharing. Love following you guys, may God bless you ❤
God speaks to us for sure.Always plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over you so that satan can't speak to you.Bring also your thoughts under the authority of Jesus Christ.Then He would for sure speak.to you.And just keep on listening and praying..He for.sure speaks.through His Word!Thank for for the upload.I always was afraid but when I listened it was a million times better than I ever dreamed.Trust Him..His plan is for.sure the best!
I've felt that if it matter to us what others have to say, we don't have our minds on what TRULY matters. A lot of people feel forced to say stuff, it comes out wrong, they're still upset. Set your minds above!!
Giving my life the Christ was the best thing I’ve ever done ❤️ and learning to listen to him is by far one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received!
To also end the day with this is from God. I kept getting frustrated because I wouldn’t sit still, and when I did, I would get frustrated if I didn’t get a mega-vision every time. God is humbling me with this video! And I started two-way journaling. It is amazing! Thank you so much! You two look so pretty here :)
Today I was really sick with a chronic illness. I prayed out to God and said I can’t go on believing if I don’t feel or see anything truly. He sent me SO MANY SIGNS today. Signs that aligned with dreams. It’s simply incredible. I dreamt about lavender, and I didn’t realize a plant outside my house was lavender plant! It stands for “wait for love.” How. Crazy. I believe!!!
I can only speak for myself but the reason I wanted you to address this (but was not one of those who asked you to) was that I'm a new Christian and resonate with how you guys represent yourselves as Christians. I'm speaking out on this issue and asking other Christians for a compassionate response because I feel like that is what im being called to do. And im searching for that sense of unity in the christian community. But honestly I feel like too many of us are just as divided as non christians. P.s. I don't mean this to come off as rude. Just wanted to give you my thoughts on your question.
I'm an older Christian and it's sad to say that so many of God's children are as divided as the world. However (and this is huge) we all must strive to overcome the world, not be sucked into mimicking it. Always, always, always look to Jesus for answer. His word. And pray for those who are divided. God will sort them out.
@@lpittman1509 thank you sister!! I appreciate your words. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. Reading the word and focusing on what the holy spirit wants me to do to help during this difficult time.
I've found your channel recently and you are such an inspiration. God bless your beautiful family. Thank you for encouraging, helping, inspiring, suppporting people with your videos... and remanding us that we should live the life according to God's word. Jesus we ❤️ you!
This is crazy! The past few weeks I’ve been struggling to pray and have communion with God through prayer. The past few days I’ve been increasingly getting that ‘restless’ spirit nudging me to think about praying and spending time with God. I was hesitant to even click on this video (even though I love you guys and your videos so much!) but my goodness am I glad that God guided me to it.This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you guys🧡
It is so very encouraging to hear how God is working in your lives and growing your faith. Thank you for being so transparent and giving Godly counsel to others in the Body of Christ. Isn't it so awesome to ponder how we serve a God Who resides in the highest Heaven, but also in the hearts of the contrite. He is Creator and King of the universe! WOW! Love and blessings to you and yours! I am privileged to pray for you!
Thank you yo much!! I am from Germany, and i am so happy to hear this true and so important Message. I say AMEN!! Sometimes, when my boys ask something and I have to say "no"...it's not easy for them to...just be agree, with this answer....and I thought about that...am I always agree with Gods answer, or hope I always for a "yes"...If His answer is a No it's okay, it's perfect, because he knows me, he loves me, he always will do the best for me and only he knows my future. I trust the next chapter, bebause I know the author! May God bless you and your lovely kids:) Love Greetings, Erika
I’m a black lady and I enjoy your life’s journey here on this platform. I think you guys are so cute. Also, I appreciate how you both bring every issue back to the most important thing of all; Gods View! You also point us all back to scripture 🙂Our Human view isn’t as important as God’s view. In the Bible it says “human wisdom is foolish to God” 1 Corinthians 1:25 Agreed it doesn’t matter so #AllLivesmatter 😇 in Jesus mighty name!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve had a very rocky relationship with god and just recently reconnected with him. I’ve need to hear this ❤️ good to hear from you guys!
I'm learning to relate to God as my Father. The Bible describes relationship with Him as a father and child. I'm His child and I usually acknowledge that in my quiet time. And I go into it with the expectation of the Holy Spirit revealing things to me that I need to know and using me to intercede for others or whatever He wants me to do. God's always speaking, we're just not always listening. And He may not always speak in some spectacular way, sometimes it's just that still small voice on the inside that you have to get quiet at times in order to tune into it.
So good! Love your interpretation of Ephesians! Love that God loves all people so much that He is HONEST and cares about our words and actions. We matter because Jesus loves us but also because our words and actions are real and important!💓💓💓
I wasn’t expecting that question. I think sometimes we get impressions and thoughts, question not inspired by God but inspired by frustration, lack of understanding, etc . That doesn’t mean we are not connected to him ,it just proves that sometimes we can be offsite and we also are humans in need of Him more &more as we also grow. Thank you for the video , most points I agree but that question “ why do people care?“ especially on this topic Black lives matter ah . I think people here have shared why and I don’t need to get into that. :) . Thank you guys for sharing.😊
God used this video to help me. I really needed to hear this. Thank you so so much for obeying God by putting this video out onto social media. I respect you guys so much and I am inspired.
I love what you said towards the end, Sutton. All day long we are listening to something (music, podcasts) or someone (co-workers, peers). Why not our heavenly Father?! That was a great point! Happy Father's Day Nate!
I am SO LATE on this video!!! YOU GUYS INSPIRE ME TO DO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE ALL IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!!!! Thank you for all you guys do and God Bless your family! 💗
Thank you very much for these tips. These topics like hearing God's voice, silence ... have been of interest to me for a while. Thank you for your help! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a ton Nate and Sutton for this video. Very inspiring, could feel the presence of the Lord while you both were speaking. You guys are doing an amazing job. Good bless you both and your kids. May the Lord use you mightily in bringing people close to him. Love Kristen!
Luv the updated intro! Truly, your intro was the hook that got me when I found you guys... Luv the mature "Real & True" content. So proud of you guy's passion for our totally Great God & your authentic relationship with Him....soooooooo good "teaching". Thank you.
Also very important to note that the Bible doesn't say to just meditate. It always instructs to meditate on the Word of God. It is very dangerous to just let thoughts fill your mind and then say it is God speaking to you. It is meditating on who He is or His decrees, or what He has done, it's ALL about HIM, it's not about us. "But they delight in the law of the Lord , meditating on it day and night." Psalms 1:2 NLT "O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your Temple." Psalms 48:9 NLT "Even princes sit and speak against me, but I will meditate on your decrees." Psalms 119:23 NLT "Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds." Psalms 119:27 NLT
found many leaders trying to be culturally relevant rather than just speaking the truth of Jesus. I love you guys for always speaking like a true Priesthood
Wow. ANOTHER video just filled with so much love and truth. I think that you are beginning to venture to a place that not a lot of Christian RUclipsrs will go, but what I know is that this is Jesus. It is so refreshing to hear a balanced perspective and I'm so excited to see what God has in store for your channel. Thank you for pursuing the call that the Lord has placed over you. You guys both have beautiful hearts and I see such great gifts that He has given each of you. You are so loved by your Father. I am praising Him for all of this. I am praying for an increase in your channel so that these words can be made known to more. God bless the both of you!
I also want to just say that your message really spoke to me. I'm a senior looking at taking a semester off from college this fall to get things in my life taken care of. I'm pretty sure it's from God, considering I have a solid plan for graduating later, and I can't plan to save my life haha. I've also been sleeping so much better lately because of the stress this plan has taken away, and I feel such an overwhelming peace now. What you guys said basically affirmed what I've been praying about. Thank you so much for that, and have a blessed week!
" I have told you these things so that in ME you may have peace. in this world, you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"-the Gospel of JESUS written by john 16:33
I love this video and will be sharing it tenfold! I also appreciate the last part before closing, how you reach out to anyone that doesn’t know Our Lord and Savior! It made me smile!! Awesomeness and faithfulness! Love you and your family! Thank you dear sister and brother in Christ Jesus!!
These videos that you guys have made based on this topic were SO in line with when I began reading 'Spiritually Healthy Relationships, Day-by-Day' by Peter Scazzero. The emphasis on listening has been such a blessing, and I cannot believe it has taken me this long to realise how important it is. Thank you for laying it all out for us all x
Thank you guys so much for listening to God in making your videos and sharing your lives with everyone. This video has spoken so much encouragement to me especially with everything going on in my live right now, I feel like y’all made this video just for me and I thank you! I pray the Lord will bless you guys!!!
This is amazing! Great word Nate! Love you all! I love how Sutton said “who can be too busy for God” although that’s true God May have been busy too! But he still took his time on us! Well love you all much support too! ❤️
WOW! That was soo God working bc that very subject is something I’m wrestling with right now - what God has planned for my future and I should do. Great advice! ❤️
Awesome message! For a long time I struggled with wanting to commit suicide and because of that I asked God why He wanted me on this earth and He revealed to me his plan for my life and it’s incredible! I know my purpose and I praise God I no longer struggle with suicide. I just wanted to say Nate and Sutton are right. If you ask God, He will definitely reveal it to you and it will be the best!
Thank you for the reminder to listen to God's voice --- it's so easy to forget in a culture that mocks faith, esp faith in Christ Jesus. Sweden (where I live) is the most secular and individualistic country in the world (I think, I don't remember the source for that) and it's a daily challenge to perservere in faith and keep the hope and light up. Bless you both. BTW, I love the braids!!
Thank you so much for this encouraging video! This was such a good reminder to take time to hear God in our daily lives and that he has a good plan for our lives! You guys are so encouraging and I'm so thankful for you guys
Amen! I dont usually comment but i just wanted to thank you guys for being a role model of what being a follower of Christ should be like. The messages you guys share have always been according to scripture and very much needed to hear, especially in today's society. Thank you once again for allowong your platform to be used by the Lord , and may God bless your beautiful family.
Wow Nate and Sutton, I respect you so much for doing these kinds of videos❤️ I’m a very religious person, nonetheless I’ve noticed that sometimes I’m not interfering god in my live anymore.. it is as if I’m taking him for granted. Reading the bible again and watching your videos helps me a lot to change that and to start seeing god as my best friend again who I can talk to every time in every situation. Stay safe, may god bless your little family❣️
Hello Nate & Sutton Thank you for this video. Something I learned, and got reminded about now, from the 70×7 course by Bruce Wilkinson is that unforgiveness may also be the reason for not hearing God's voice. I recommend this course for every adult. Our church presented the course in videos. It is an eye opener and it teaches you how to forgive others and yourself. It is possible to forgive everyone for everything!
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” Psalms 46:10 NLT The Meaning of Psalms 46:10 As God addresses Israel, He is not just telling them to “be still” or “rest”. If this is written during a time of war, which it most likely is, God is commanding them to “stop fighting” and open their eyes to who He is. In some translations, it is phrased “cease striving.” It’s easy to be fearful when things aren’t going well or when we are faced with challenges and conflict in our life. In the midst of their struggle, however, God tells His people to wake up and recognize who’s on their side. In that light, the tone of this verse can be read: stop striving, stop fighting, and stop trying to do things on your own. Stop stressing about the battle ahead and trust me. Wake up! I am the Lord. I am your refuge and your strength. You have nothing to fear or worry about when I am with you. I will fight your battles and deal with your enemies. So get out of my way. Step back, open your eyes, and acknowledge who I am and what I can do. Let me be God. Don’t try and do my job for me. Be patient, be still, and let me go to work. [Copied from link below] www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/be-still-and-know-that-i-am-god-what-is-the-meaning-of-psalms-46-10.html
I respect ✊🏽 this. God is good, I’m so glad I accepted Jesus these past few weeks ago. I’ve never felt so happy praising him😁(btw I’m 15)
God keep you safely in him. The ride may not be all rosy. But trust me dear, even trust God more, it'll be worth it. Much love to you 😘😘😘
Hello from a fellow 15 year old Christian. Congratulations and God bless!
That’s great same with me. May God bring you peace and prosperity!
Alabi Anuoluwapo Amen to that! I’m just startin out in The Bible, and it’s lookin pretty cool so far.
ME TOO!! I got baptized in May! Well God bless you always! Stay safe!!
I strive for a marriage like yours! You have taught me how to not have a toxic relationship, but a loving one and the sacrifice it takes! God bless you guys 💕
Manuel Estevez SAME
To have a good marriage, you both have to put God first, and have a good relationship with him. My husband and I are Christians, and have been married for 18 years. Like all marriages, we have had ups and downs, but last year, we got to the point that we argued constantly and didn't even feel like we loved each other any more. No one cheated or anything, it was just, the little stuff that builds up in marriage. We both read the book,“The Spirit Filled Life”, by Charles Stanley, and the Lord used that book TO SAVE OUR MARRIAGE! We are now very much in love, with the Lord, and each other!
Lynn Millard thank you!!! I actually just ordered the book for me and my ex gf! I was previously in not a very God honoring relationship with her and we split because of that and it was toxic:/ I still love her so much and she does as well but we knew we had to be single and draw near to him so that is where we are now. It has been 5 months but we still need more time. Thank you:)
Lynn Millard thanks for the book recommendation! God bless u!
Saaaammmme
"the question is have you asked God to reveal to you the plan He has for your life"? okay, Jesus, I felt that. 😭 I felt him talking to me through this video, I was praying about this topic of my life earlier and that's what I'm currently praying for, so thank you guys for doing what He calls you to do❤️🙏🏻 sending love from Brazil ❤️
You guys have been a great example for me. I'm 17 years old and I'm so grateful that I have an example of what a loving and godly marriage should be like. Thank you 💛
Awwww, Sutton your hair looks so cute in braids
Thank you!
"when we don't listen to God, our families will suffer" - this is so powerful to remember. thankyou Nate for your wisdom
Wow- I can see such an incredible shift in you two, it feels like the holy spirit is all over you guys recently, I can't help think that its spending time listing to God. I absolutely love that you say of corse you can hear God because you can hear satin lol its the TRUTH. I have been praying for you two and you're channel and im so excited. I bless you two with deeper intimacy with God and each other, with tuned ears to hear with eyes to see and a sensitive heart, I bless this channel to reach the un reached- In Jesus Name!
Wow thank you so much!
Whoever anyone says you can hear God back, I try to say something like "so you think he just stopped after the bible?" No, God will fight on our team for us, he will save, he will heal, and he will speak
If the video above offends you because they didn’t officially say “XYZ” then I have to question if you are truly a Christian. As a black young woman but as a CHRISTIAN first, I believe our eyes should not be focused on physical things but on spiritual things.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Ephesians 6:12
Even though they said that they love black people and have black friends, it doesn’t matter what they or anyone else says at the end of the day. If you know what God says about you and that he has created you for a purpose for his glory, no one can make you feel inferior without your permission (Eleanor Roosevelt). If you have to wait for your favorite RUclipsr or Instagrammer to say something that God has already said about you then you never believed Him to begin with. And don’t even get started with “white privilege” because that doesn’t exist.
Thank you, Kelechi, for your passionate succinct comment. I very much agree with you. God bless you.
Amen
Amen!! 🙏🏻✝️👑🙌🏻
Perfectly put! Thank you for sharing it! 👏👏👏
100% agree. But I have a question. As a Christian black women, why do you say there is no white privilege?
He spoke to me a few times. 1st time is when I found out I had Rumithriod arthritis & I was in despair my thoughts were full of worry for my future because how sick I was but then like when you give a bottle to a baby I heard "Be still and know that I am God" a very soft voice I instantly felt better then just last night I have been asking him will I have my own family for years then I finally like, he told me it felt like I just knew out of nowhere I saw a baby & I couldnt stop crying almost my whole life I always used my future goals to have a family to keep me going almost everything I do I do for my future family I felt like I won the lottery idk how we can deserve something so beautiful he just simply loves us. It's such a over whelming feeling of .. it's the greatest gift to my heart & soul all the hard work I have done will be rewarded & I cant explain how greatful & its like.. over whelming happiness & I told him I needed to learn about christian/Catholic couples because I never really had a real example . People dont even get married anymore.. I come from a hardplace so sure enough really fast I found yall & the internet is so beautiful I got to learn what I never seen & I know my hearts desires are real & they will be real life soon Thank God God bless yall ♡ thank you.♡
I am black myself and God is healing my wounds at this moment because I never realise that I was turely hurt. 😭. Black lives matters and all lives matters to God ❤️
Amen! I’m on the same journey.
😊
Love this!
Once again, you never fail to point current matters back to God, thank you!❤️🙏🏻
Wow! Very few people use their fame to direct glory to God & this is today's need! Thank God for both of your lives and sharing God's heart! ❤️❤️
As a black person who loves your channel, I want to thank y’all for expressing your thoughts on the current situation going on in
the world.
Though it should go without saying ( if you follow the Bible and have a transformed heart) that you love all people, it still helps your black audience ( in my opinion) to know that we are in your thoughts and prayers.
You two obviously voice truth, and certainly follow the greatest commandments, to love the Lord with all of your heart and to love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Ya’lls lives as a couple speak for itself. But still, thank you for speaking. ❤️
Right on time. This was what God spoke to me today through the sermon and yesterday through a self study...LISTENING. And I still have been watching videos of other people's lives feeling sad instead of listening to the God of all creation who has been asking me to come sit in his presence listening. This really hit home.
The new theme with Halston and extra footage of lil' Oakie just brightened my day! I❤️
I have to say that I read the Bible, listen to sermons, listen to Christian music, and pray everyday by staying still I have to admit that I almost never do it. And this is so interesting because it happens that when I am in nature I have some times when I stay still and I admire God's creation, and at those moments I can hear God's voice clearer. These moments are rare, but I definitely have to make time to be more still. Thank you again for sharing your faith and knowledge!!!
Everytime i watch this video I feel refreshed and reminded of how important having a connect with god is. I forget that listening to god is just as important as talking to him. He hints at stuff and I go a different way or choose to go about something a different way not realising what god would want or what plans he has for me. This video was a good reminder and as I’ve been born and raised as a Christian this reminds me eventhough with this covid year anything is possible with god by your side and listening to him. Love this and I subscribed:)
I Really Like what you said about God Blessing you with your children and not to not have time for him because we are busy with our children. He is suppose to be our #1 no matter what. It is hard to sit down and get quiet and it takes practice. We are all so use to being busy busy busy. 💗💗💗💗💗💗
ABSOLUTELY true about the time thing. There are times where I put Him first in my morning even when im running late and im tempted to skip it....He makes up the difference and Im always fine!! He has done this countless times for me.
Wow! This video is literally everything I have been thinking. I love how you guys make everything Christ centred, no matter the situation. The enemy is only trying to stir up trouble and antagonise people with issues that at the core are simply because of Sin. I have also been thinking how amazing it is that I talk to the God that made the SUN!!! That is amazing! Blessings from London xx
Would you guys ever think about doing a Christian/worship song playlist? Also great message today! God bless you guys!🙏🏼❤️
I have a playlist on Spotify with all of my favorite Christian songs! It’s called Favorite Christian Music by Hannah.3283
Hi Ashley! We have two awesome worship playlist. You can find them here:

Yes please^^^^
I love the way you guys tell each other "Say what you talked about yesterday" or "tell them what you felt the Lord spoke to you the other day". This shows you guys are actively both receiving from the Lord and sharing with each other and speaking life and word of God to each other on a daily basis. This is awesome! It makes me look forward to having a spouse one day who will be pursuing the Lord with me and as iron sharpens iron we would spur each other on to love the Lord even more and trust and follow the Lord even more every day! Amen! Praise the Lord for your love and desire and pursuit of the Lord and unity in love!
This spoke to me. Thank you Nate and Sutton🦋
Happy Fathers Day Nate
I'm kinda emotional right know because my priest (I'm Catholic) said the same thing today in Mass. "Why we care so much about what people think us? Why we're not worrying about what God thinks of us? That's what we should care about." And that touched me so much. And now you guys saying basically the same thing... well that's a message
hey i just wanna say please don't trust catholicism. trust GOD. you shouldnt pray to mary or any saint and angel. there is only ONE MEDIATOR between GOD and man and that is JESUS
@@userm180 I'm sorry you think that way, but I am Catholic exactly because I trust only God and the Church Jesus build on Peter. You're probably protestant so I get you don't understand about Our Lady or the saints. If you ever wanna talk about it, I'm here.
I'm just so sorry that people think like that because I feel you're missing so much. Once you find Jesus himself on the sacraments, there's no place you rather be.
May the Lord be with you.
@@lisagomes5946 im no denominational
@@lisagomes5946 the church means us, JESUS' people. JESUS said to not make idols in the old testament and catholics do that by praying to mary. do you want what i'm trying to say?
@@userm180 we do not make idols, we only worship God. About Mary, we venerate Her, and this act is old as the church itself. The Virgin Mary is the Mother of Jesus, God. She's a creature of the Lord, so she can't be an idol, but she is waaay blessed than anyone else, because can you imagine a grace great than be the Mother of God?
And about the praying to Mary, we ask her to intercede on the behalf of us to Jesus as she interceded, for example, in Cana. Jesus is the only mediator, but you can't ask your mother or friends to pray for you? This is what we're doing, asking our Mother (Mary) to pray for us.
I hope this can clarify a little. Even though you don't believe, and I respect that, I recommend to you read what the Catholic church has to say about this things. We have the Catechism and documents saying what we believe and why we do that, we don't do (or interprete) whatever we want hahah.
I don't know what previous experiences you had with Catholicism, but I hope God can chance that for you.
And I'm sorry, what is to be non-demoninational? Is it just to be protestant in general?
Be in peace!
Yes 💕 listening is the goal in prayer. I don’t ask for anything when I pray and just meditate on His will and what He requires me to do with my concerns. Any answers I may be looking for always comes from His direction.
You definitely used the Wisdom which God blessed you with to respond to those questions. Because most people asking this are only wanting more division. God loves all shades from dark to light and the division the enemy is trying to wedge in this nation is NOT OF God. God wants a revival within us. To look to him and not society. Jesus Loves Us all.
Exactly.🙏🏽
It doesn’t matter what we think, it matters what God thinks! Preach it!!
Thank you for sharing this message. There are moments I feel discouraged in finding my calling. But you’ve helped remind me that God does indeed have a plan for my life.
Nate and Sutton thank you both for this wonderful message from the Lord❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so inspiring and wonderful. Praise God for both you and those pre ious angels 👼 you have. They truly have godly parents in you. God bless and keep you both ever so very close to Him. Love you both❤️💣❤️💣❤️💣❤️💣❤️💣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
My heart was broken today. Very unexpected. I found this so encouraging, so much of what you've shared has touched my heart and fueled hope. Thank you for sharing. Love following you guys, may God bless you ❤
I m from Malaysia. I am also a sister in Christ. I am so encouraged by your sharing. So so so true and encouraging!
God speaks to us for sure.Always plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over you so that satan can't speak to you.Bring also your thoughts under the authority of Jesus Christ.Then He would for sure speak.to you.And just keep on listening and praying..He for.sure speaks.through His Word!Thank for for the upload.I always was afraid but when I listened it was a million times better than I ever dreamed.Trust Him..His plan is for.sure the best!
Amen!!! Ouch. Y'all better PREACH!!!😂😂😂😁😁😁🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥 Love you guys!
I've felt that if it matter to us what others have to say, we don't have our minds on what TRULY matters. A lot of people feel forced to say stuff, it comes out wrong, they're still upset. Set your minds above!!
Giving my life the Christ was the best thing I’ve ever done ❤️ and learning to listen to him is by far one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received!
I love you guys and what you bring to the table for Christ! Thank you for always sharing your perspectives on your faith and relationship with God!
To also end the day with this is from God. I kept getting frustrated because I wouldn’t sit still, and when I did, I would get frustrated if I didn’t get a mega-vision every time. God is humbling me with this video! And I started two-way journaling. It is amazing! Thank you so much! You two look so pretty here :)
Today I was really sick with a chronic illness. I prayed out to God and said I can’t go on believing if I don’t feel or see anything truly. He sent me SO MANY SIGNS today. Signs that aligned with dreams. It’s simply incredible. I dreamt about lavender, and I didn’t realize a plant outside my house was lavender plant! It stands for “wait for love.” How. Crazy. I believe!!!
I can only speak for myself but the reason I wanted you to address this (but was not one of those who asked you to) was that I'm a new Christian and resonate with how you guys represent yourselves as Christians. I'm speaking out on this issue and asking other Christians for a compassionate response because I feel like that is what im being called to do. And im searching for that sense of unity in the christian community. But honestly I feel like too many of us are just as divided as non christians.
P.s. I don't mean this to come off as rude. Just wanted to give you my thoughts on your question.
I'm an older Christian and it's sad to say that so many of God's children are as divided as the world. However (and this is huge) we all must strive to overcome the world, not be sucked into mimicking it. Always, always, always look to Jesus for answer. His word. And pray for those who are divided. God will sort them out.
@@lpittman1509 thank you sister!! I appreciate your words. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. Reading the word and focusing on what the holy spirit wants me to do to help during this difficult time.
I've found your channel recently and you are such an inspiration. God bless your beautiful family. Thank you for encouraging, helping, inspiring, suppporting people with your videos... and remanding us that we should live the life according to God's word. Jesus we ❤️ you!
I know I need to make even more time for God! I praise God for your video, it is a blessing!!
This is crazy! The past few weeks I’ve been struggling to pray and have communion with God through prayer. The past few days I’ve been increasingly getting that ‘restless’ spirit nudging me to think about praying and spending time with God. I was hesitant to even click on this video (even though I love you guys and your videos so much!) but my goodness am I glad that God guided me to it.This is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you guys🧡
It is so very encouraging to hear how God is working in your lives and growing your faith. Thank you for being so transparent and giving Godly counsel to others in the Body of Christ. Isn't it so awesome to ponder how we serve a God Who resides in the highest Heaven, but also in the hearts of the contrite. He is Creator and King of the universe! WOW! Love and blessings to you and yours! I am privileged to pray for you!
I paused the video to have some quiet time with Dad and it was pretty fruitful 🌾🌤
Thank you yo much!! I am from Germany, and i am so happy to hear this true and so important Message. I say AMEN!!
Sometimes, when my boys ask something and I have to say "no"...it's not easy for them to...just be agree, with this answer....and I thought about that...am I always agree with Gods answer, or hope I always for a "yes"...If His answer is a No it's okay, it's perfect, because he knows me, he loves me, he always will do the best for me and only he knows my future.
I trust the next chapter, bebause I know the author!
May God bless you and your lovely kids:)
Love Greetings,
Erika
I’m a black lady and I enjoy your life’s journey here on this platform. I think you guys are so cute. Also, I appreciate how you both bring every issue back to the most important thing of all; Gods View! You also point us all back to scripture 🙂Our Human view isn’t as important as God’s view. In the Bible it says “human wisdom is foolish to God” 1 Corinthians 1:25
Agreed it doesn’t matter so #AllLivesmatter 😇
in Jesus mighty name!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve had a very rocky relationship with god and just recently reconnected with him. I’ve need to hear this ❤️ good to hear from you guys!
I'm learning to relate to God as my Father. The Bible describes relationship with Him as a father and child. I'm His child and I usually acknowledge that in my quiet time. And I go into it with the expectation of the Holy Spirit revealing things to me that I need to know and using me to intercede for others or whatever He wants me to do. God's always speaking, we're just not always listening. And He may not always speak in some spectacular way, sometimes it's just that still small voice on the inside that you have to get quiet at times in order to tune into it.
Thank you guys so much. These videos have really been speaking to me. Thank you for helping me grow in my faith.
So good! Love your interpretation of Ephesians! Love that God loves all people so much that He is HONEST and cares about our words and actions. We matter because Jesus loves us but also because our words and actions are real and important!💓💓💓
I wasn’t expecting that question. I think sometimes we get impressions and thoughts, question not inspired by God but inspired by frustration, lack of understanding, etc . That doesn’t mean we are not connected to him ,it just proves that sometimes we can be offsite and we also are humans in need of Him more &more as we also grow. Thank you for the video , most points I agree but that question “ why do people care?“ especially on this topic Black lives matter ah . I think people here have shared why and I don’t need to get into that. :) . Thank you guys for sharing.😊
This message is so anointed, Praises to God!
God used this video to help me. I really needed to hear this. Thank you so so much for obeying God by putting this video out onto social media. I respect you guys so much and I am inspired.
I love what you said towards the end, Sutton. All day long we are listening to something (music, podcasts) or someone (co-workers, peers). Why not our heavenly Father?! That was a great point!
Happy Father's Day Nate!
I am SO LATE on this video!!! YOU GUYS INSPIRE ME TO DO GREAT THINGS IN LIFE ALL IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!!!! Thank you for all you guys do and God Bless your family! 💗
Thank you very much for these tips. These topics like hearing God's voice, silence ... have been of interest to me for a while. Thank you for your help!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
“That’s Satan! That’s Satan messing me up!” Hahaha so good!
Satan isn't real.
Then I'm sorry, ur not a biblical christian.... Just saying what it is
Thank you for this video❤️👏🏼
Thanks a ton Nate and Sutton for this video. Very inspiring, could feel the presence of the Lord while you both were speaking. You guys are doing an amazing job. Good bless you both and your kids. May the Lord use you mightily in bringing people close to him.
Love Kristen!
Luv the updated intro! Truly, your intro was the hook that got me when I found you guys... Luv the mature "Real & True" content. So proud of you guy's passion for our totally Great God & your authentic relationship with Him....soooooooo good "teaching". Thank you.
Thank you Nate and Sutton for the message!
Also very important to note that the Bible doesn't say to just meditate. It always instructs to meditate on the Word of God. It is very dangerous to just let thoughts fill your mind and then say it is God speaking to you. It is meditating on who He is or His decrees, or what He has done, it's ALL about HIM, it's not about us.
"But they delight in the law of the Lord , meditating on it day and night."
Psalms 1:2 NLT
"O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your Temple."
Psalms 48:9 NLT
"Even princes sit and speak against me, but I will meditate on your decrees."
Psalms 119:23 NLT
"Help me understand the meaning of your commandments, and I will meditate on your wonderful deeds."
Psalms 119:27 NLT
I love this. Everything you both are saying is meaningful🙏🏼🙏🏼
found many leaders trying to be culturally relevant rather than just speaking the truth of Jesus. I love you guys for always speaking like a true Priesthood
Wow. ANOTHER video just filled with so much love and truth. I think that you are beginning to venture to a place that not a lot of Christian RUclipsrs will go, but what I know is that this is Jesus. It is so refreshing to hear a balanced perspective and I'm so excited to see what God has in store for your channel. Thank you for pursuing the call that the Lord has placed over you. You guys both have beautiful hearts and I see such great gifts that He has given each of you. You are so loved by your Father. I am praising Him for all of this. I am praying for an increase in your channel so that these words can be made known to more. God bless the both of you!
I also want to just say that your message really spoke to me. I'm a senior looking at taking a semester off from college this fall to get things in my life taken care of. I'm pretty sure it's from God, considering I have a solid plan for graduating later, and I can't plan to save my life haha. I've also been sleeping so much better lately because of the stress this plan has taken away, and I feel such an overwhelming peace now. What you guys said basically affirmed what I've been praying about. Thank you so much for that, and have a blessed week!
" I have told you these things so that in ME you may have peace. in this world, you will have trouble, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"-the Gospel of JESUS written by john 16:33
I love this video and will be sharing it tenfold! I also appreciate the last part before closing, how you reach out to anyone that doesn’t know Our Lord and Savior! It made me smile!! Awesomeness and faithfulness! Love you and your family! Thank you dear sister and brother in Christ Jesus!!
Well said Sutton with sharing about what God said to you 😇🙏 - God bless you both & your family 🥰🙏
Wonderful video! It’s clear that you two love the Lord and seek Him with a fresh hunger.
Thank you!!!! I previously got in a disagreement with someone in your comments about listening to God! Now they can watch this and know the truth!!
This video was so timely and so needed. Thank you both for being a blessing to so many including myself!
These videos that you guys have made based on this topic were SO in line with when I began reading 'Spiritually Healthy Relationships, Day-by-Day' by Peter Scazzero. The emphasis on listening has been such a blessing, and I cannot believe it has taken me this long to realise how important it is. Thank you for laying it all out for us all x
Am I the only one who thinks they could do amazing podcasts?
Thank you guys so much for listening to God in making your videos and sharing your lives with everyone. This video has spoken so much encouragement to me especially with everything going on in my live right now, I feel like y’all made this video just for me and I thank you! I pray the Lord will bless you guys!!!
This is amazing! Great word Nate! Love you all! I love how Sutton said “who can be too busy for God” although that’s true God May have been busy too! But he still took his time on us! Well love you all much support too! ❤️
WOW! That was soo God working bc that very subject is something I’m wrestling with right now - what God has planned for my future and I should do. Great advice! ❤️
Awesome message! For a long time I struggled with wanting to commit suicide and because of that I asked God why He wanted me on this earth and He revealed to me his plan for my life and it’s incredible! I know my purpose and I praise God I no longer struggle with suicide. I just wanted to say Nate and Sutton are right. If you ask God, He will definitely reveal it to you and it will be the best!
Thank you for the reminder to listen to God's voice --- it's so easy to forget in a culture that mocks faith, esp faith in Christ Jesus. Sweden (where I live) is the most secular and individualistic country in the world (I think, I don't remember the source for that) and it's a daily challenge to perservere in faith and keep the hope and light up. Bless you both. BTW, I love the braids!!
You guys did a great job with this video. Keep listening to our heavenly Father. 💛 So much truth in this video.
You ve updated the introduction 🥰
Love it how you are using your platform to point people to God and his word ♥️.
Thank you so much for this encouraging video! This was such a good reminder to take time to hear God in our daily lives and that he has a good plan for our lives! You guys are so encouraging and I'm so thankful for you guys
Love this message, thanks for sharing 😊
I highly recommend every Christian read the book,“The Spirit Filled Life”, by Charles Stanley! It is REALLY helpful!
Being still is the highest form of worship. It is total surrendering to God.
People should love All People. God Bless.
Amen! I dont usually comment but i just wanted to thank you guys for being a role model of what being a follower of Christ should be like. The messages you guys share have always been according to scripture and very much needed to hear, especially in today's society. Thank you once again for allowong your platform to be used by the Lord , and may God bless your beautiful family.
I love this video as always.
I love your response- perfect! 🙏🏻💜🙌🏻
Love this one so much! ❤️ thank you !!!
I needed this.
Wow Nate and Sutton, I respect you so much for doing these kinds of videos❤️
I’m a very religious person, nonetheless I’ve noticed that sometimes I’m not interfering god in my live anymore.. it is as if I’m taking him for granted.
Reading the bible again and watching your videos helps me a lot to change that and to start seeing god as my best friend again who I can talk to every time in every situation.
Stay safe, may god bless your little family❣️
Hello Nate & Sutton
Thank you for this video.
Something I learned, and got reminded about now, from the 70×7 course by Bruce Wilkinson is that unforgiveness may also be the reason for not hearing God's voice. I recommend this course for every adult. Our church presented the course in videos. It is an eye opener and it teaches you how to forgive others and yourself. It is possible to forgive everyone for everything!
Thanks for reminding me to pray without ceasing and listening... so healing in this time
You guys are amazing! Love your channel and sending prayers!😊😁💛🙏🏻
Sutton has the sweetest humble spirit🥺
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
Psalms 46:10 NLT
The Meaning of Psalms 46:10
As God addresses Israel, He is not just telling them to “be still” or “rest”. If this is written during a time of war, which it most likely is, God is commanding them to “stop fighting” and open their eyes to who He is. In some translations, it is phrased “cease striving.”
It’s easy to be fearful when things aren’t going well or when we are faced with challenges and conflict in our life. In the midst of their struggle, however, God tells His people to wake up and recognize who’s on their side.
In that light, the tone of this verse can be read: stop striving, stop fighting, and stop trying to do things on your own. Stop stressing about the battle ahead and trust me. Wake up! I am the Lord. I am your refuge and your strength. You have nothing to fear or worry about when I am with you. I will fight your battles and deal with your enemies. So get out of my way. Step back, open your eyes, and acknowledge who I am and what I can do. Let me be God. Don’t try and do my job for me. Be patient, be still, and let me go to work.

I loved your opinion in this matter, thank you for talking about this!
Thank you for this! Very encouraging 💕😁
