Hello beautiful friends! I wanted to share a little bit about what I struggle with in my faith. I think a lot of people have this expectation that Christians need to be perfect, but I think this idea really separates us and makes it harder to love + accept others. So today I wanted to share my 5 biggest struggles being a Christian!

First point regarding entertainment available for Christians is so true. Ever since I started having a closer walk with God. I started observing how much non-sense the world feeds us. And makes sin look cool
Shiphrah Shiny yes! Entertainment is tough but maybe we can create more demand!
big facts
Yeah, story of my life!
Amen!
exodus 21 is pretty entertaining just read the whole chapter and you'll feel better
I want friends like you. This isn’t to idolize; I just agree with your viewpoints. I see myself in you and I wish I had more people around me like that! It’s healthy to discuss these feeling with other Christians. If we don’t I feel like that leaves us feeling unbearably isolated.
Thank you that's so sweet!
I wish I had a friend like you in my life😊
Antonietta Borzillo aww thank you!
I've been saved for about 6 months now and not gonna lie, it has been a struggle trying to keep up with the expectations of being a good Christian. Thanks for the video and God bless 💛
It’s a struggle for all of us
So excited for your baptism video..Kiannn ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Troubles and struggles are not the end....but with God we can overcome them all.
Rough and narrow road, find rest at the end.
God bless you and love you so much...
PREACH GIRL!! I love the part about trust God to convict his followers, I feel like we've lost so many to the enemy because people feel compelled to tell others what to do and put others down. Ones relationship is between them and God! When you develop your relationship with Christ you know when your doing something wrong you feel it! You read his word and he speaks to you. God is a loving God and he is perfect in his ways. TRUST HIM TO DO HIS JOB ❤️
I'm so Happy I found your channel . I struggle with all these things as a Christian I struggle with trying to be perfect everyday. I grew up in a Christian Church and never really cared that much or tried to understand what it meant to follow Jesus I'm 26 and just 4 months ago I found convicted and gave my life to Jesus . I wake up some days i'm miserable because I struggle with trying not to sin everyday and this world we live in just makes it that much harder . I know Jesus died for all my sins and I just so grateful for his Mercy🙏❤️ today was one of those days where I feel down and came across your channel. Thank you for all that you god bless you . By the way I stay in Arizona too😍
Im in the same position as you right now. Struggling with trying to be a good christian and trying to have a daily, close relationship and prayer life with God. It really is so hard when almost everyone is just living for themselves and telling others [especially us younger people] that we should just do what makes us happy and live to please ourselves. No one is out there saying we should live for God or live a life that shows Jesus living in us. Mainstream media is in fact promoting the opposite of this. It is so hard because i dont have any christian friends and the people at my church seem to already have a clique of their own. I just want someone that can help me and we can encourage each other in our walk with God. I wish i had a friend like Kian. I dont even have one real friend. I know Jesus is all i need but sometimes i just want one person who i can talk with and they understand what i am going through, without judging and without giving worldly advice. I want a close relationship with someone who turns to scripture when trying to comfort or encourage me... i want this so much🥺
Korean Dramas on Netflix! They have the sweetest love stories and no SEX yes I said it right! (They basically kiss on the last episode) lol
I think these Dramas are a breath of fresh air!!
I feel like your first struggle is CALLING my name. Actually all of these hit so close to home! Keep it up girl !
Maddy Mae thanks Maddy!
Christ does tell we Christian that it is a rough road. I am far from perfect too but only God is perfect, we just strive to do the right thing. That being said I always try to remember that life on earth really does go by so fast the older we get. So I just look at it as life on earth is so temporary compared to the eternity we get to have with Christ. Always remember there are a lot of people in a relationship that want out just like there are people not in a relationship that want one. (The grass is never greener on the other side.) I will pray for you also! :)
I agree.
It does say not to judge people, but you have o remember that it also says to get the log out of you own eye before getting the speck out of someone else’s eye. What I think that means is that deal with your own problems before trying to correct others.
Just found your channel & I can totally relate! Love that you’re shining a light for Jesus.✨
I love your humility as a Christian. I was like yes to quite a few of your points. It is very difficult to find quality wholesome entertainment these days. I feel that since same sex marriage became legal there is at least one gay person or couple in almost every TV show. Then we as Christians are criticized because others say we spread hate next we believe that being gay is a sin. We shouldn't ever criticize other Christians online because the only things we know about them is what they share in a blog or a TH-cam video or a Facebook profile. None of those can ever replace real life and how well we get to know each other in real life. Which is why it's so important that we have a close intimate support system of Christians who can help build each other up in Christ. Personally, I'm a middle school small group leader and I struggle with the feeling of the need to have it all together and be perfect to be in the position I'm in but then other times I'm like the big part of being a small group leader is knowing how to lead by example in hopes that they follow the Godly example that i strive to lead. Christian music. Man there's alot of great Christian music stations out there. Especially online and how easy it is to find online stations. Everyone is doing online nowadays. There are stations for Christian hip hop/rap, Christian rock, praise and worship. There are a ton of Christian music genres out there. My favorite is Christian hip hop. Two of my favorite Christian hip hop online stations are launch radio and jam the hype. Both are great. There are also tons of TH-cam vids for Christian music out there. Keep being humble and wise though. Strive to keep learning. Like you said, don't let what others say online affect you because they don't know your journey. They don't know who you are outside of what you share on videos. It's sad that christians judge other Christians online but man that's our sinful selves at battle with the Christians that we are. Anyways, first video I've seen from you. Keep being real. I love people who can be real for God. Thats like one of the most amazing things you can do as a Christian. Keep living for Jesus.
Hello, Kian! I really enjoyed this video. I believe I struggle with these 5 things as well so I am constantly putting my trust in Jesus which has helped so much! I agree that most entertainment and media are not nourishing to the soul so I’m also currently searching for Christian TH-camrs since I rarely watch television anymore. When it comes to being interested in a guy that’s also a Christian, I also tend to let my feelings take over and see him as a potential husband without fully taking it to God like I should. Excited for more of your videos 👍
Things that struggle me. (As CHRISTian). Spiritual attacks or as some say negative thoughts or doubt. Stress that I’m doing something wrong. Getting stereotyped by others. And most importantly not always getting what GOD means.. but HE BE GUIDIN
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
John 12: 25-26
you are so encouraging kian!! love how genuine, transparent, and aesthetic you are! most people only post and focus on their highlights. i can tell you embrace the uncomfortable and uncertainty. keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you for this sweet sweet compliment!
To tell you the truth... Me too.. I just watch other Christian TH-camrs... Rather than watching Netflix or something.. cause I also feel it's not bringing me close to god like that...
I am praying with you .thanks so much for being an encouragement
Soni love thank you Soni I appreciate it
Kian, you are such a cool girl! I found your channel one weekday evening recently, and I believe the Holy Spirit led me to your channel. Your voice is so calm and easy to listen to, I really agree with the things you’ve mentioned in today’s video. Just wanted to leave a comment saying I believe you’re doing Gods work! Its so wonderful knowing there are other young women facing these thoughts and feelings. I love your channel and everything about it. Rock on Kian!!! God bless you girl!!😍
Montana Buck thank you so much Montana! I’m so happy you find value in my videos 😊
So relatable. Thanks Kian
Tiffany Dawn is also a good channel to watch! ❤
I’ve been a Christian since very young and I still struggle with those because we are all human so what you said at the end sums it up perfectly. If any seasoned Christian says they don’t struggle then they are not human or are just self righteousness! Thank you Jesus for your grace because Your grace is sufficient!
Amen! "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (I John 1:8-10)
I completely agree with you, as brothers and sisters we are not supposed to judge each other but the Bible says to exhort and correct each other but also encourage and love. As Christians we should be led by the Holy Spirit and He will nudge us when we are doing wrong and work with us.
I feel you Kian ..I literally experienced those as well
You are loved & Stay Blessed💜💝
May God continue to help you grow in the faith🌹 This was much needed. Love you
Keep trying. I ve been struggling with similar stuff when it comes to entertainment and boys. Your story and videos give me hope :)
I'm currently trapped in my room after my housemates ridiculed my beliefs and are laughing downstairs right now. I'm at university in the UK currently. God help us all
What happened? I'm currently at uni in uk too.
Remember that Jesus was ridiculed too including with his relatives. This is a blessing as it says in the bible: bless are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is in the kingdom of heaven Matt 5:10-12
EncourageTV on TH-cam is cool for movies. The movie Steps of Faith was also really good (that was on another TH-cam Channel though)
But yeah I understand that whole thing about finding pure but entertaining shows and movies.
And yeah only God can judge us!
Wrt the consistency, God sees our hearts. He knows when the deep passion may not be there and when you pray He will give you the grace to go forth and pray one more minute or read one more verse.
I agree with you on all points and struggles with the same things! Thank you for sharing so much with us, I for one really appreciate it. Congrats on your baptism. The video you post on Instagram was beautiful so thanks for sharing that with us aswell x
Being a follower of Jesus is so difficult. Evil is everywhere on earth.
You can a lot of christian movies on TH-cam especially the bible movies.
I love your honesty! I struggle with most of these as well. 😔
I agree that Christians can be very judgmental and that it is not our place to tell others what to do. We don’t save anyone. Jesus does. Our role is to be the light. We should be shining bright-not trying to convict others.
fourth time pasting my comment, again only for clarity (I'm not trying to start an argument or spam) I wanted to make sure you understand that the bible does not outright prohibit us from making 'judgements' in principle (I'm not saying this is your view, but just in case it is, again for clarity's sake and to help you, the comment I made before is as follows):
_'I know this video is a year old so your understanding may have changed but to clarify in case not (/for others reading) re: __8:55__ 'says in the bible we're not supposed to judge others' this is a common misunderstanding._
_The point of the passage re: log/eye etc. is re: hypocricy, not mere judgement. In contrast to the misconeived 'never ever judge someone' understanding of the passge, we actually use judgement to discern and distinquish between good and evil every day._
_The point in the passage was 'if you're still engaging in this sin, you have no right to criticise others who are engaged in it also.' If you're not engaged in the sin that the person you're judging is, you do in fact have every right to judge them._ [to add to my original comment also, it is crucial to judge and call out evil and then rebuke in love when we see that someone is self descructing and have the opportunity to 'judge' (identify the sin/form an opinion on someone's actions) and rebuke (seek to correct them/convince them to repent of their sin)]
_I would agree in some instances it may be inappropriate to do it over the internet on youtube video comments, but by contrast, depending on the specifics, it really might not be. You yourself go on to tacitly imply judgement may be appropriate providing certain conditions are met (you say __9:22__ it's not our place to criticise each other as strangers on the internet if we don't know each other, what each other lives like, what our actions are on the daily, implying that if we did know these things, we would by contrast have every right to judge)._
_And if you're mind moves to thinking of 'without sin/cast first stone,' from my surface understanding this is has nothing to do with judgement (identifying the sin and holding the sinner to account - the woman is still referred to as being caught in adultery, after all) rather than the punishment (stoning).'_ (edited for italics only)
Christians are told to correct other brothers and sisters in Christ- that is not judging. If a sister or brother is doing sin, we are to correct them. Judging is a whole another situation. Judging is basing on uncertainties. However, it is not judging if you just lied to me. Or if you blasphemy around me. Or if I saw you steal something. Anything you were factually caught in the act is not judging.
Goober yes and people watching a video is basing a lot on uncertainty as they don’t know all the details of a person or situation. That’s my opinion at least.
@@Kian_Wolfgang I understand your opinion. Maybe your video contained facts rather vocally or visually while other parts of the video contained uncertainties. It takes time to adjust as we grow in faith. If you know your older videos are getting plenty of criticism because it was your old self, maybe consider deleting that video completely. It isn't the new you and that old you is promoting what may contain factual sinful nature if any (I didn't see most of your videos). Anything that causes another one to stumble with sin, we shouldn't do it.
I rarely watch movies and almost never listen to secular music. If there are some songs I listen to that are not written by christians, they are songs that Holy Spirits puts in my heart, and they always give me message of encouragement. Entertainment for me is watching christian videos, like this one, and if I want something really light I will watch christian videos about dating and how people found each other God's way. At the same time I learn a lot. But if I struggle with lust I even let that be and listen to christian videos about other topics. Why I call this entertainment is because we would always rather seek Jesus for our selves. But when I'm tired I watch these videos :) also, there are good christian music out there like Riley Clemmons.
I'm glad to hear christians on youtube get closer to God and being convicted by the Holy Spirit. You're on a right track. It can be struggle in the beginning, but getting closer to Jesus is a bigger prize and when we die to self we come alive. Jesus didn't only die, He also rose back to life, and same resurrection power lives in us, so be encouraged!
I went to Next Step and I realized that I want to do missionary studies in University or something, and also become a staff at Next Step. Lately I’ve been listening to Christian music more and praying more often then I would normally do.
Problem is that I don’t go to church every Sunday, it’s a on & off thing, but I want to go more often it’s just because I’m known to be extremely lazy and so I can’t ever get up in the morning even if I really want too.
I don’t really have to worry about the university and Staff thing because I’m only 12 🤷🏻♀️
I know this video is a year old so your understanding may have changed but to clarify in case not (/for others reading) re: 8:55 'says in the bible we're not supposed to judge others' this is a common misunderstanding.
The point of the passage re: log/eye etc. is re: hypocricy, not mere judgement. In contrast to the misconeived 'never ever judge someone' understanding of the passge, we actually use judgement to discern and distinquish between good and evil (among other things) every day.
The point in the passage was 'if you're still engaging in this sin, you have no right to criticise others for engaging in it also.' If you're not engaged in the sin that the person you're judging is, you do in fact have every right to judge them.
I would agree in some instances it may be inappropriate to do it over the internet on youtube video comments, but by contrast, depending on the specifics, it really might not be. You yourself go on to tacitly imply judgement may be appropriate providing certain conditions are met (you say 9:22 it's not our place to criticise each other as strangers on the internet if a) we don't know each other, b) what each other lives like and c) what our actions are on the daily, implying that if we did know these things, we would by contrast have every right to judge).
And if you're mind moves to thinking of 'without sin/cast first stone,' from my surface understanding this is has nothing to do with judgement (identifying the sin and holding the sinner to account - the woman is still referred to as being caught in adultery, after all) rather than the punishment (stoning).
Just wanted to set out for clarity, otherwise very much enjoyed videos I've seen of yours so far.
I believe your struggles are basically the same as every believer
Since (South) Korea is the largest Christian country, their Dramas are really safe to watch!
I know most comments are from women... But as a guy I definitely can relate to your 5 points because I struggle with those things except the reading Bible one, as Christians we should definitely stay in the word of God that way the holy Spirit can help us in every aspect of our walk with God in every aspect of our lives mentally in the heart and most of all spiritually, I CAN DO ALL THINGS THRU CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS ME... God bless you and may your walk with the Lord improve always remember that God's timing is perfect 💯💯
The Chosen is a good Christian show.
Hello. Kian, I just love you for your sincerity.
You should watch the Paul and Morgan Show! They are Christian TH-cams
Agreed girl 💛 the first one is so on point for me as I’m sitting at my grandmas while they’re watching stranger things. Keep your faith and stay in his word and he will guide you. He is enough. His love is sufficient 💛
Hey Kian, another awesome video. I agree to everything thing you said. I just want to encourage you sister in the lord be strong 💪 always. ✌️
peter m. tamagfalan thank you!
I have heard that korean shows are clean, but I havent tried it out yet.
The basic argument for people that go against the bible is You cant judge however the bible says you can give righteous judgement and to move the speck out of your eye before you try to remove it from your brother/sisters eye. Im open to all forms of criticism as long as they aren't with a negative attacking tone to it. The main thing is when someone is trying to criticize you as long as they arent a hypocrite about their own advice and the advice can aid you. You should be fine with whatevers thrown at you, but we all have different walks.
Angel Estevez I totally agree! The problem I run into is that a lot of people on the internet want to leave criticism, however I have no idea if they are living out these morals. That’s why I feel correction should come from personal relationships and friendships 😊💛
Angel, I totally agree and LOVE this! You are wise! Also, if you haven't heard of Brene Brown, you need to check her out! Her newest book "Dare to Lead" is total dynamite (I listen to books on Audible), and talks about vulnerability and handling criticism, but only from people who are also "in the arena, daring greatly." God bless you brother!
@@YazYaz75100 Thank you. I'll check her out. God bless you too sister.
My biggest entertainment is your channel now 😂
Check out Ronnie and Mel.
Check out pastor Robinson's sermons. They're so funny, which is entertaining.
This video is so relatable.. Like everything you said is everything I've been thinking but haven't been able to put into words lol You're so good with the way you express yourself! -Jossie❤️
Yea being Christian is difficult
But there is helper Jesus send for us that is holy spirit which helps in our every difficult way.l m also struggling
too.And we can do every thing in Jesus name.amen
God made both sexes, for something natural and good. But very important too be responsible and it requires commitment in the husband or wife, it is important too allow a couple too marry if they want to marry,and not too be sexually permissive before a commitment, you risk way more than many realize. Many will think that's mean, but think about what's possible, Murphy's law seems too have merit
Check out Milena Ciciotti's channel.
Hallmark movies? ☺️
good youtubers: MRS. MIDWEST, girl and the WORD! ;) been binge watching your vids recently
Paul and Morgan's Show in youtube :)
Congratulations on your baptism, lady!
Condolences to you and your family as well.
Thanks for sharing.
Portia Webb thank you 💛
I recommend Emily Wilson's channel! 😊❤
I keep telling myself I don’t want to be a hypocrite when it comes to my actions, it’s difficult because I know I need to unlearn sinful things that don’t align with my walk. The struggle is wholeheartedly giving it all up to God. Letting him into the parts of me that are fighting to hold onto those sinful things that I like… that’s what makes me feel like a hypocrite.
One example where I overcame this is I was talking to a woman that also claimed to be strong in her Christian faith, yet was sending me leg pictures while she was at Church… 🤦🏻♂️ (not nudes btw) but still… trying to tempt me knowing that I’m trying to change my ways. So Instead of taking the bait, I ended all talks with her.
I saw it as a test. That’s all I can do now, is view everything as a test of my faith. Anyways, I’m done yapping.
Great video~
ur channel is my main entertainment!! This is a blessing, thank you for doing this❤️
The serie " The Chosen " is an amazing christian show! It portrays the life of Christ and his disciples in a very fresh relatable and moving way! 😙💕👍🙌
Kian try pureflix.com its like netflix but more christian. :)
Atheism:
Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.
Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?
Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority [i.e., proof]. Quran 52:35-36
Christianity/ Jew
And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking. Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful." Quran 2:111
science:
Maurice Bucaille was a French medical doctor and author.
Bucailleism is a movement to relate modern science with religion, and especially that of Islam.[5] Since the publishing of The Bible, the Quran and Science, Bucaillists have promoted the idea that the Quran is of divine origin, arguing that it contains scientifically correct facts.[6][7]
One message:
So [you believers], say, ‘We believe in God and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and all the prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we devote ourselves to Him.’ Quran 2:136
i know this was like 3 years, but i really respect and enjoyed this video. real & simple! im struggling so much now my eyes are open, it’s a bit burdensome. thanks for this. nice to know we aren’t alone xo
Stay strong, girl! It’s so awesome to see your faith and growth.:)
I recommend “The Chosen”. It’s a multi-season show on Jesus’ life and it’s fabulous! No joke. You can buy it in their website or download their free app, “the chosen”, and watch it there
Entertainment now a days is hard to find... pure flix is a good one.. also reading books, watching sermons is all feeding your soul. Being a Christian we feel like the“weird”ones but we must endure in this hard world and strengthen ourselves with the love of god. You are never alone. Hugs from far away🤗❤️
I agree with a lot you said. Disagree with judging. We are to judge through discernment and in love. If a fellow Christian endorses sinful activities, you are commanded to rebuke them, but with gentleness and kindness. The problem is, a lot of Christians don’t know how to rebuke without being caustic or mean. Not to say that they may not hurt feelings or make a person uncomfortable though. Christians who avoid uncomfortable conversations are complicit in the world’s sin
You should buy an ESV Study Bible. It has changed my life. It's one of the most accurate and precise bible translations with amazing footnotes.
bro the esv is not accurate watch Dr.gene kim on kjv vs other Bible versions...
As being a child of God this is your personal testimony as to what you have experienced on your journey with God. Oh dear other people who called themselves Christian judge you like that you have your own unique amd personal story to tell ...its not their place to judge you. Their ways are not His ways only God and God alone will finish the work he has began in you. So sorry to hear what you have been through...Keep the faith and the courage God bless you!
Hi. How old are you? (hope you don't mind) :) You seem so genuine and full of wisdom. :)
Struggling at the moment, 3yrs a Christian....16mths in my job, really hard listening to the 'banter', foul language, swearing etc....I've asked to be moved to a different shift...( well they asked someone to volunteer to go over to opposite shift)....So I did. Will probably be greeted with same mentality....how do I switch off my hearing. Very discouraged at the moment. Xx
I think that the entertainment is something I've went threw alot. I think sexually desire is a natural thing e. But lust to me is playing around with someone in your head. Just from my expierence.
It’s extremely difficult many are on the broad path to destruction. We are not be separated from the world and forsake our sin. People that die in their sin will not inherit then kingdom of God. Also things that may seem innocent like entertainment can become idolatry and worldly passions and lust. Idolatry is a very severe sin and it’s the easiest one that a lot of people fall into.
THE FIRST ONE YES! I feel like its disrespecting God when ik watching shows that are rated PG 13 period even if its bad.😪
You can judge people But Not Hypocriticly
Girl watch AD on Netflix 🙂
Sorry for your loss sister. May the God of peace and comfort be with you and your family. These are relatable. Thank God for Jesus or high priest who can sympathise with us. God bless you sister 💕💕
Also. It’s sad to hear your point 2. There’s always room for good critiques as long as we are making right judgments, doing it with love, gentless and grace to build our fellow brothers and sisters. But as you’ve mentioned, when done in an ungracious way, viewers who are new in the Faith or almost there can use it as a stumbling block. Anyway, Thanks for sharing. 💕💕💕
Unfortunately, when you have videos that are raw and real and especially about Jesus people find it their right to help their brother with the speck when they have the poll. It's honestly a pride issue, there's nothing wrong with just saying nothing. People like to give their opinion even when not asked. It's your youtube which you can put any content you want but do keep in mind that no matter what you put out there, there is always going to be someone who will put in their 2 cents, Christian or not. Keep putting out the truth but know that you'll get unperfect ( everyone is ) responses.
So Far Gone yes completely agree! Thanks for the comment 😊
I legitimately don't mean to spam, but having already pasted my comment in response to another's comment re: this that I wanted to make sure she saw it and had it as food for thought, I wanted to do the same for you here to clarify that the bible does not outright prohibit us from making 'judgements' in principle (I'm not saying this is your view, but just in case it is, again for clarity's sake and to help you, the comment I made before is as follows):

It is like being the odd one out. But then you get to inspire ♥️
Watch kdramas they are innocent pure not all of them but the most
Michel Janse and Michelle Reed are my favorite Christian youtubers! They are lifestyle vloggers and talk about their faith all the time!
Les miserable is a good series I rally loved it😍 bbc series are really good I like them bc they talk about faith sometimes in them, or victoria was awesome too
There is actually a lot of good Christian music, .... check out Andy mineo, matisyahu..... I haven't lisent to nonsense in so long. There is def more Christian entertainment, you just really have to look deep into it.
CASS & Hollyn are some great artist as well and spotify playlist
I love how when a Muslim or so makes one of these videos omg so relatable but when a Christian makes one OMG PERSECUTION CONPLEX
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

God bless you beautiful! Thank you for sharing and never give up!♥️
I have struggled with correcting my friends because each time you do that, you are either considered judge-mental Or holier than thou but more so because you are after all human and have shortcomings, the devil will constantly remind you that who are you to correct them, it’s not like you are perfect. Therefore I often lived a condescending life and in fear, God’s been helping me to realize that He doesn’t use me or love me because I am perfect, He loves my brokenness and thus my weaknesses should never let me agree to what is not right or live anyhow.

I may be a bit late in commenting this but I’d highly recommend John Butler - Spiritual Unfoldment on TH-cam. Teaches meditation from a Christian perspective and his channel practically set me on my walk with God (in actual terms, however, I assume God decided that through me discovering that channel would be the time for me to be with Him)
Would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend

Sister Kian, you are spot-on. Pop culture isn't just contrary to God's Word; it's now openly hostile to the Lord and His people. We all struggle with this. Christ really opens our eyes to what is truly beautiful when we follow Him. I've always thought of lust as a form of idolatry, since you are putting your desire for something/someone ahead of Jesus. Two examples: the Bible doesn't say that money is the root of all evil; it says in I Timothy 6:10 that it is the love of money that is evil. Also, we are told in James 4:3 that "you ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions." Let's pray for one another that God would give us strength through Jesus to overcome our struggles! And oh yeah: Pureflix :)
PS: We as Christians should support each other in love, without faultfinding or constant selfish criticism. I've been guilty of this and it is incredibly contrary to our Lord's teaching. "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye."
Me and my girlfriend decided to watch a couple of Christian videos today as a part of "our daily bread." We selected you. After viewing, I can say your are very honest and perceptive on the issues you talked about. We are struggling with the same issues and we are in our 50's. The resistance you feel in each of these subjects, is none other than Satan, doing his best to discourage you and every other Christian. Regardless of our struggles, if we will hang on to Jesus, we will get the TKO over Satan at the end of our bout! Prayers to you in your journey and hope to meet with you in Heaven!

I have been a Christian since I was 17. I have Been waiting for the right person to be in a relationship with..I'm now 23 and I feel like I'm letting my life pass me by..I almost feel like just letting go because I can't find a person who holds the same principles as me.

Just keep being yourself, Kian. We all like you.
Thanks for your honesty. The struggles are real! I get sucked into TH-cam videos and am then convinced that I should buy new clothes, new makeup, new .... and then get all caught up in the standards and the materialism of the world. I stay away from TV and I am now starting to be convinced that all forms of entertainment are pretty worthless. Perhaps some sports is ok but really my personal experience is that I slowly start sinking into a hole.

I know this is an older video, but I am new to your channel and just watching ones that stand out. I can relate to the criticism from other Christians and trying to have more consistency with Bible reading and prayer. A big struggle for me but one that I want to improve on, is being able to see God in the day to day as I am just going about normal daily life outside of my devotional time. Any thoughts on that?
