Grace
You guys could be motivational speakers!! Love this channel so much❤ I can see you getting class cutest😊
You are so kind! Thanks for encouraging us on PastorLife!
Trust me, there is something wonderful about an award that can be shared by family members! Thank you for sharing your story and for supporting our channel!
Did you ever decide on a name?
What a great video this week!
Thank you for encouraging us! Please have a great week!
First of all, thank you both for always being such positive and encouraging folks! I try never to miss one of your videos. In 2017 I won the GOING THE EXTRA MILE - GEM- award from my place of employment. My peers/fellow employees voted for me to receive this award. I have never felt so loved, appreciated and surprised. I was truly humbled and honored. The award has engraved the following…”For maintaining the highest standards,looking after the smallest detail,and always going the extra mile for our employees”. I retired two years later and I count this award as one of my greatest blessings from God.
Thank you for your kind words to Sherry and myself. I think it would be a great honor to receive and award from your peers! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Hi again, You mentioned your church...were you able to find a church you like? 🙂❤️
Not yet, we are visiting different churches to make sure we are where the Lord wants us. If you can, please keep us in your prayers!
I just love watching you two. Youre just the cutest couple ❤ I was wondering what you named your bug? Hugs from Oklahoma ☺️
Thank you for your kind words! We haven’t settled on one name yet, but we are leaning towards Leonard, or Lynyrd.
Hello Pastor Vince & Sherry! You two are seriously the cutest and sweetest couple ever. It is a delight to watch you and how well you compliment and enjoy each other. You make marriage look really good. I may not have won much in the way of material things in this life but the day Jesus became my Savior I won all that I will ever need for all eternity. It really doesn't get any better than that. Thank you both for your encouraging and wise words and for these wonderful videos. God bless you for all that you do!
You are so kind to Sherry and myself. I have been blessed to marry a lady who is always encouraging me in my life. Sherry was raised to live by faith in Christ and that has been our greatest blessing! Yes, once we have Jesus we have all we need for here and forevermore! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Greetings! It's so nice to see an uplifting video today. I once won a contest from HGTV that included a recliner of my choice and a huge outdoor gas grill. It also included some things that I gave away because I had no need for them. It was ironic because I entered at the very last minute because someone talked me into it. I would love to hear a talk on brokenness, if that is something you feel comfortable discussing. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Congratulations on winning some items from HGTV! Thank you for your suggestion to do a video on brokenness. We will certainly look at this topic because we all have experienced brokenness at different points in our lives. Thank you so much for watching and supporting our channel!
I love your videos. I haven't won much! One time at a Tupperware party I won most of the games. They were word games, and at that time I was good at them. Not so much anymore. I still have one of the prizes - a metal tray! Your story about your mom helping with an essay reminded me of a story about my sister; and another about my daughter. My sister had written a story for school. She asked our writer/editor dad to proofread it. He did more than that. He basically rewrote it. She came home from school after it was graded, and said "Dad, we got an A!" Similar story about my daughter. She had been sick a few days and when she went back to school she found out she needed to complete a scrapbook - one page per scene of Romeo and Juliet. It was due the next day, so I helped her! It was fun! Anyway - we got an A too!!
Could maybe you discuss forgiveness .. it is so very hard … it’s something we have to do or the Lord won’t hear my prayers ♥️♥️I go on with where I am in my life but deep down there’s a deep deep hurt
Thank you for your suggestion on speaking about forgiveness. My next video is on that very subject. Forgiveness is something we all need to deal with in our lives. Thank you for watching our channel!
My grandpa would get excited to hear his weekly radio show, that’s how I feel as I wait weekly to hear your tube stories. It leaves me with a happy heart. Thank you
You are sooo kind!
Thank you for this video Vince and Sherry, You both are so fun! Ok, first on my list is accepting Jesus in my heart. When I was in 6 th grade I was on a swim team. In one of the swim meets I was to swim the breast stroke. I did my best and came in last..but the folks in the stands clapped and cheered for me because I finished! I was so humbled and thrilled! I'll never forget that. I hope you have a pleasant evening. I was wondering where your nickname Larue came from. I think you mentioned you were called that in college. ❤️
Thank you so much for always having positive comments for Sherry and me. It is exciting to hear about your accomplishments and how people cheered you on while you swam! My college roommate called me Lerue my first week in college and it stuck!
I miss hearing these stories about your family. I miss you two a lot. Since you have been gone it feels like a death. It’s true 😢 but I know god has this. God is always a winner ❤️
Kathy, thank you for always having a kind word for Sherry and me! Please tell Ken I said hello!
I’ve won a few prizes when I was still working. One prize was a car vac…….😂 Re: questions for you to discuss: 1. What is an appropriate thing to say to the pastor after the worship service when he’s shaking hands with you as you leave? Should one say how much the sermon meant to them, or say something off topic like “How about that Chiefs game?” 2. Was Luke an apostle? 3. What criteria was used to determine the books included in the Bible? Thank you for this enjoyable video! I love it when you include personal anecdotes to help illustrate a concept or story. ❤-Brenda P. S. My husband was named Mr irresistible when he was a freshman in high school. After that, a friend of his nicknamed him The Prettiest Boy in School. He told our daughters this when they were growing up and to this day they like to bring it up and have a good laugh!
Thank you so much for your positive comments and ideas for new subjects to discuss for future videos. I would like to mention the topic of what to say to the pastor at the end of the service, it depends upon your pastor!!!! Stay tuned and say “hello” to your handsome husband!
Vince I would like to know your stand on the tithing of 10% or not tithing and just becoming a joyful giver? There’s lots and lots of push back on this topic because it was implemented in the Old Testament and when Jesus died on the cross it was finished as was the law. I’d be interested in what you think. Thanks, Ada
Hey Ada, I have always practiced 10% giving and giving to special offerings over and above. I feel you can’t out give God and money is just a tool not the treasure that we have to serve Christ. Thank you for supporting our channel!
Well I haven’t ever won anything much that was expensive but my memories of winning in sports is precious to me! My biggest win was accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior!
Amen!
You guys are so sweet and fun to watch! I won an apple pie contest among a group of older bakers. I was shocked and thrilled! Still a great memory for me. A possible future discussion topic might be regarding those who we will see in heaven. I grew up in a non church home. I believe my parents both grew up in the church but we never went together there. I sometimes fear I won’t see them when I go to heaven. Something you said here made me think about this. Thank you both! ❤
Thank you so much for responding to our video and send me your recipe for your apple pie! The idea of who is or isn’t in heaven is overwhelming for all of us. Remember, God is always for us and He loves us all. We can trust God with time and eternity!
Loved this video! You two put a smile on my face each day I watch you! I won a chili cook off about 7 years ago! 😊
Thanks for watching our videos and your kind words! Please send me your recipe for the award winning chili!
I won a Civitan Citizenship Award when I was a senior in high school and a trophy my junior year in Home Economics. A subject I would like to hear yall discuss is how to discuss a tragedy with non believers - like a school shooting or the recent devastation from Helene. I’ve had people ask me how a loving God would allow things like that to happen. I try to tell them evil will always exist until Christ returns and that God gives man free will and many choose evil over good, I just have trouble trying to explain that.
Yes, those types of questions always trip me up from non believers. I tried to talk with one of my sons in law who isn’t a believer and he kept throwing out comments that I just didn’t have a clue how to answer. Plus he said his grandma is a Christian and she’s extremely judgmental so he associates that with Christians. A lot of believers give Christianity a bad name.
Joy, you did a great job in explaining the will of God and the reality of evil. However, some things we have to accept by faith and certain people will never be happy with any answer we provide. Thanks for always having something kind to say!
Hi Vince and Sherry! My grandkids just left this afternoon to go home three states away. To cheer myself up and take my mind off, I hopped on TH-cam to get my weekly blessing from you two! Thank you so much for being so faithful! Recently, I was reminded of something I won as we were cleaning out my mom's house after she passed away. I had competed in a regional Miss America Preliminary Pageant when I was in college in the late seventies. I found the costume I had made for the talent portion of the contest. I sang a song from the musical "Oklahoma" and won the talent portion of the contest! I was fourth runner-up over all. Quite a memory to be reminded of all these years later!
My grandkids just left this afternoon, too! Flying from the south to their home in the northeast. Awful quiet around here now.
@@AnnieDiscepoli I will pray we both find the Lord's comfort in missing our grandkids! I am so thankful when I get to see them!
Thanks for watching and I’m glad we brought a positive memory from your past! In high school I won second place in a county wide debate. However, only two of us competed! Thanks for watching!
You are both so sweet and a bright spot to my day💕. I really appreciate your candor. Sherry I have thought about what it will be like in heaven without loved ones too🥲. It’s a hard one. Time to open my Create In Me A Heart Of Peace study book. ❤❤
I was a second team all league soccer player in high school. Vince, I would like you to discuss how you write devotions and walk through a passage with us. This really sparked my curiosity when you brought it up awhile back. Greatly appreciate you two and your channel!
I would love to share how I write my daily devotions! Thank you for a great idea!! Thanks for following our channel!
Sherry, that was a perfect impression of my son when I asked him anything when he was young. lol “🤷🏻♂️ idk “
Thank you so much for your positive comments and for following our channel!
Hi Vince and Sherry, I sure enjoyed this video. I can't think of anything I have won right off hand😊 Your hair cut looks pretty Sherry❤
Thank you for following our channel and for your kind words to my sweet wife!
You two are just the cutest couple ever!!!❤ And Sherry I love your haircut! 🥰
So true!!!

I did the envelope system also. But the second envelope was for savings. In 12 month I was debt free except for my home and I finally have money saved. Thank you for you encouragement.
I miss you both, 😢
Hey Kathy! It is so good to hear from you! We love and miss you too!
People being nice .....
Thank you so much for sharing on our channel!
Vince and Sherry you brighten my life. You are so down to earth and true to God. It feels like I’m spending time with old friends when I watch your channels ,Thank you 💕. Praying for you and your ministries🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words of support!
Roly-Poly:)
Oh goodness, that happened to me when I was little, I picked out a tiger mask and when I went to the party all the girls were princesses. I wanted to leave but my mom made a comment at the party and I had to stay. I was so unhappy lol
Wow! I love your childhood story about the party and your Mom teaching an important life lesson on finishing what you start! What was once a painful memory can turn into a blessing! Thank you for following our channel!
Living on Social security is tough. I think we don't have enough to make it through the month. God always provides for us.
We are about to experience what you have already experienced! Thank you for sharing your story. I am excited about this new season and as God has provided on all the past seasons He will continue to show His love in this new season! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Thank you for this video. I like the significance of the 5 stones . So interesting. I did not know that. I'll want to watch this again. Have a terrific day. 🙂❤️
Thank you so much for taking the time to encourage Sherry and myself! We are grateful that God has given us this opportunity through TH-cam to encourage others!
Thank you I just love your stories very uplifting. I wish you had more followers you give me so much spiritually ❤❤❤❤❤ as does Sherry in her channel. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Karen for your words of encouragement! We are excited about uplifting believers on our channels. Keep watching!
Thank you Karen! We are blessed to have such dedicated followers. We are grateful for you!♥
Great commentary (I think that’s the right word to use lol the word I wanted to use escaped) Thanks so much for your TH-cam ministry. I enjoy you both very much 😊
Thank you for your positive comments and for supporting our channel!
Thank you Paula!
You both are very welcome.
Love this channel! Thanks for always encouraging us to follow God❤️
Thank you for encouraging us in this new ministry! We have really enjoyed looking for topics that would uplift our followers.
Thank you Marsha!♥
Hello Pastor Vince & Sherry! This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite "happy" places and with two of my most favorite people. Your videos never disappoint. My fear was always in growing closer to the Lord and what He might call me to do or ask of me. Being an introvert, I am far more comfortable being in the shadows than in the light of things. Now I can honestly say that I see His hand has been on my life the whole journey and each step has been preparing me for what is to come. I have no doubt that God is going to use me for His glory and I don't fear any longer because whatever He asks of me I know He will supply me with all that I need to get it done and He will be with me every step of the way. That is a joy and a heartfelt peace that is truly beyond words. Thank you for these videos and it is such a pleasure to see you both in them together. May God continue to bless you always and in all ways!!! Sending you love and hugs from beautiful Washington state!!!
Thanks or your positive words of encouragement all the way from Washington state! Yes, I agree with you regarding being called to new ministries. I have learned that wherever God calls us to that He equips us to do the ministry. Thanks for supporting our channel!
Thanks for sharing this, Ann! Did you know I'm an introvert too?! I am! And that's why I tried to convince the Lord he had the wrong girl to be a pastor's wife, to start a Facebook page, and to run a TH-cam channel! Lol. Love you, friend. ♥
@@thehomespunwife I knew He brought me to you for a reason. We are true kindred spirits. This was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much and love you too!!!
@@anns1921 ♥
Vince and Sherry, I love the photo on your video introduction, it made me laugh today! I also didn’t know that about the five stones David took to fight Goliath, thank you for the insight. I loved watching Pastor Adrian Rogers on t.v., he was a mighty man of God, and now he is in heaven enjoying the Lord’s mighty presence.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! Years ago I went to a conference in Memphis and visited Pastor Rogers church on a Wednesday night service. It was unbelievable! I loved it. Thank you for supporting our channel!
Thank you Pastor Vince & Sherry for that lesson. It was encouraging. I need to trust God more in helping me when I have fears...Since my husband passed a year ago, I have fears ...so I need the prayers. My life has definitely changed...it is scary and I worry about so much.....I appreciate you all and your Ministry to others. God Bless You Both ♥
❤
Hi Susan...I'm so sorry about your husband's death. I'm sure there are many fears and anxieties that come with that type of loss. We will be sure to pray for you, Susan...to ask the Lord to be your constant companion, to meet all your needs, and to ease all your fears. Thank you for being here on PastorLife and for being an encouragement to us and so many others. ♥
This is such a good talk. Thankyou for it. I especially loved the symbolism of the 5 stones. I never heard that.
Thank you so much for supporting our channel!
Hi Vince and Sherry, great video! Speaking of Adrian Rogers, we’re going up to Bellevue Baptist in Memphis to see the singing Christmas tree in December!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 . It’s one of our favorite Christmas things to do. So glad we found your channels!❤
Thank you for your positive comments and for watching and supporting our channel! Have a great time at Bellevue!
How exciting! I know you guys will enjoy seeing that. Have fun! ♥
Always love the story of David and his relationship with God...my fear is coming out from under the love and protection of God.❤❤❤❤great message❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! My fear is also being away from the path that God has chosen for me. The key is to be open to the Spirit of God and to be obedient to His leading.
Thanks so much for watching, Susan. Blessings to you!♥
Hi Vince & Sherry, I enjoy your videos so much. I look forward to watching you each week. I could watch you both everyday. You're both so precious. Hugs, from Oklahoma.
Thank you for encouraging us all the way from Oklahoma! You are so kind!
Thank you Susie!! Hugs to you!
Hi Sherry and Vince, I so enjoyed how you told the story of David and Goliath. I never knew that about the 5 stones. Y'all are so sweet together.😊
Thank you Becky!! I love that part about the 5 stones. Thanks for watching!♥
oh yes keep telling stories.....from the bible..... iall is clearer to me from those who have the gift to be a story teller....thank you for sharing your gift🌟
Thanks so much for watching. God bless you!
Hello sherry & vince. Excellent video! I am in the process of reading THE LIFE OF DAVID, by pat Robertson. This book is very encouraging & inspiring . Great to see you both! Come back soon! Much love & appreciation ❤
Thank you for taking your time and encouraging us through our channel! Your kind words are a blessing to us!
Hi Judy! Thank you for watching! Your book about David sounds interesting. Much love to you, friend. ♥
The story of David is very compelling. When people mess up, it shows a true depth of character when they own up to a mistake, rather than trying to deny it. Thanks for reminding us about this important man in the Bible….😊 The things that scare me involve being put into the limelight and being the center of attention all of a sudden. I much rather prefer working in the background, away from attention. So when I was asked to start playing the piano at church, I was a bundle of nerves. I now ask God to direct my hands and help the music to be a blessing, which has helped me a great deal in realizing it’s not about me, but about honoring God and His holy name. Thanks so much, Vince and Sherry! Love your videos…..😊 ❤-Brenda
Thank you Brenda! The story of David has always encouraged me to keep myself humble before God. Thank you for supporting our channel!
