QUESTION for our community - How do you feel that God has used what you have gone through to become the person you are today?
My social anxiety and major depressive disorder has made me humble. I don't take people's kindness for granted. My self-harm scars are a constant reminder of times when I really leaned on my own understanding by doing what I thought was logical at the time. Nowadays, when I look at my scars I think about how blessed I am to still be here and how God is not through with me yet. Sometimes, I feel that I have peace that makes no sense.
@danbrown6661 thank you so much for sharing. We appreciate the courage to transparently share this here and we are glad that God has given you the peace that you have today!
Who else?
😆 I feel you on that. Which is how we feel. Your spouse should be your best friends but i know this a question some ask.
QUESTION - Have you ever struggled with mental health challenges and how has your faith journey intersected?
I've dealt with depression a lot resulting from trauma and giving into it led me to make a lot of dumb choices out of that pain, but I felt God's pull. I knew I didn't belong in that lifestyle. That God had better than that for me. I also deal with anxiety as well, and I can totally relate to how at some days it can be so overwhelming, but I find when I start reading the Bible, recalling scriptures, praying, speaking against it, encouraging others even when I was still struggling at times myself, putting on gospel music, and calling it out for what it is (a distraction from where I need to be, what I need to do, keeping me from where I need to go). Focusing on God has helped so much with changing my perspective. Thank you so much for sharing your stories/testimonies. Transparency is rare because people want to hide their testimonies out of shame, but it is truly through sharing your testimonies where people are given hope that they too can overcome, they are not alone, and there is hope.
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony and answering our question with such transparency! We appreciate it and know that God will use it to help others in their pain to see how just like you and like us by focusing on Him and abiding in his word we were drawn to the peace that Jesus has to offer to us all. Thank you so much for being the first of many to begin to share your stories.
As Christ loved the church is an important ingredient.
Most definitely. We have to come together as one body and love one another with the love of Christ. We are glad you agree and thank you for taking the time to comment. Husbands must love as Christ did so we can show the respect and honor due to our bride.
Amen 🙏🏽
So true. Be open and transparent to truly be one.❤
Yes! And that's what it's about
😂
🙌🏽❤️
Thank you for this openness. Yes, so many people need to be able to speak on the topics that keep people feeling isolated and alone to break free of the bondage of feeling alone. Even the topic of miscarriages are often just tucked away and not really talked about. How can we truly heal and be everything we're meant to be if we're in bondage by shame and unresolved hurt. For the longest time Mother's day was one of the hardest days of the year for me because I had had two miscarriages. I would wonder why did I lose my babies? Was I meant to be a mother? The emptiness and the hurt that I felt was suffocating and it just seem like no one understood or wanted to talk about it because it made them feel uncomfortable. Instead of dissolving into yourself, instead you should pray that God send you the people who you can talk to about this and even use your pain to help others get through the hard times that they are not alone, and that this isn't the end of their story.
Thank you for your openness as well. We all gain healing and grow in our sharing of our stories and allowing each of us to not feel alone. We are glad that our story has allowed you to feel comfortable to share yours and we absolutely agree that shame is the bondage that holds us all hostage from better and connection with one another. So thank you for this.
Thank y’all for sharing, I think the lives are where it’s at. Yall did so well 😊 for the first one
Thanks so much for letting us know your thoughts and we appreciate the encouragement ! We are glad that you got something out of the live. Please stay connected and check out our other videos as well. We appreciate you

In my home sex was definitely a taboo topic. My dad was our custodian parent and always told us to focus on books, my mom did tried to approach the topic but ended her monologue quickly before really beginning, school and boys and girls club tried to scare us with STDs, and others in my life further corrupted my view of sex making it something to be afraid of. I tried going to a youth minister who I trusted to talk about my fears and distrust in the area but instead of taking time to have a real discussion she basically told me to hold on to that fear in not so many words. I said all of this because it is indeed very important to be open with your child when it comes to talking about sex. If you're not it makes it easier for evil spirits working through people to take advantage of their naivity and further warp their view of sex. By running away from the topic you are not keeping your child away from sex but rather pushing them towards someone who will try to introduce it to them, who will give them their answer, and won't have their best interest at heart. Thank you for this video. More Christians need to be transparent. I'm about to listen to part 2.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for your transparency. We agree that Christians need to be more transparent and we are glad to be a part of that being shared more going forward. We are glad our sharing allowed you to feel free to be open about your experiences, joining us in allowing more people to see this and be impacted by our testimonies. We appreciate you!
Love this so much! I look forward to more videos ❤
Thanks so much for watching!! We appreciate the love. Stay with us as we keep posting more videos.
Thank you for your testimony! Let me first apologize. You are so right the "church people" make it so hard for anyone to come and ask for help or pray. Keep sharing this is what true ministry is all about. You guys are really helping someone. Love you!!!!
Thank you. We are so glad this is helping you and others and may He get all praise, honor and glory in it.
Thank you for being obedient to the spirit. Your testimony truly helped me and has awoken me to be more transparent. So know this has helped someone else.
Glory be to God! We are glad that our testimony is helping you to feel safe to share your testimony and is helping you. May He get all praise, glory and honor!
Simply beautiful you guys, young marriages need this.
Thank you. May God work Thru us and Thru the building up of the body of Christ for his glory
Very proud of y’all! Praise God!🎉
Thanks man. Praise Him!
