Can't say Amen enough for this message! Praise the Lord!! I recently decided to do a complete 180 degree change in college to go from studying kinesiology to media studies and production. The public health industry was always the safe route but God has been so gracious and reminded me of what I was made to do and that's to give Him glory through music/creative worship. I'm truly in awe of this truth. 🔥
Along the things you said, another piece that I believe makes part for success in God`s view is living the present, living now. I`m not always focused in the present to be honest, all the good things that I have now (or are happening now) are not really treasured, because I`m desperately looking for the tomorrow things. And God taught that is not this way to live successfully, He taught us to "look at the birds of the air" and "do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself" because being full in God is about living each day as blessing, something that is not worth skipping or fast-forwarding. When there are days that I allow myself to live this way, everything is in the right place, everything is "successful"
This is a really funny video, I really enjoyed the part of the story of talents it makes me laugh 😂, but these three points caught all my attention: To Love God, to discover the reason that we are on earth and finally to be faithful doing that. Great video, the Word of our Father always speaks us in the right moment. There's no better reword for the servant of the Lord that seeing that the work that he have to do is being done with love and being a blessing to others. Excellent.

Wow, this is SO relevant to me right now. I'm in my final year of schooling and there is so much pressure around what I should be doing after school, especially going to uni... But I don't think that's what my life is supposed to look like. This really speaks to me, honestly I feel like I've just been given a key to my destiny.. You should seriously make more videos like this :')
I've been binging Set Sail videos, thank you so so much for this channel! This is so solid. Thank you Jonathan!! God bless you for all you do for Him😁 I am so inspired and feel new passions rising as I watch these videos!
Amén, having Jesus in our life and be part of his eternal plan makes us successful people, Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:15 but in the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing captain Ogden. That was very encouraging! I'm going to save this somewhere so I can listen to it again at later times and pass it along. It's also good to remember that even our most drastic failures can be redeemed/used by God in his master plan as well. He has each and every one of us completely outmanuevered when it comes to creativity ... and everything else. Our love is authored, generated, fueled, and sustained by Him. And He never fails.
Great work on this! I'm a children's pastor and will be sharing your 3:30-4:40 section with some little people. Keep it up. I loved the pace of that section by the way. It was illustrated and told at a great speed!
This is probably one of my most favorite videos so far! Thank you so much! It was really encouraging and I felt like God was speaking a lot to me through this video! God bless
You're a fantastic teacher Jonathan, sooo good! Jesus is the end goal...and therefore I'm successful just in my identity of being known and loved by Him. P.S. - the little three tenants illustration was so cute + creative!!
awesome! you should add Spanish subtitles to your videos! so the Hispanic community can have access to this kind of vlogs!... our generation needs more Messengers with this kind of messages! continue proclaiming! it's amazing when you let this truths become a reality in your life because when you share them they aren't just words... but Spirit and Life...just like Jesus' words! they DO make an impact in people's lives! blessings from Mexico!
Jonathan, I only just saw this video now! The whole online Christian community of brothers and sisters (May 17, 2018) is all "caught up" with the soon return of our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ (including me 😂!). Jesus told us to occupy until He comes! This scriptural story of the talents, and your beautiful and articulate message about it, seems to me to be exactly how we do just that - occupy until He comes!!! If we are able to understand the scripture (and how accessible you have made it here), and apply it to the long sought-after human desire for "success", we can say goodby to all the mental and emotional angst surrounding these end-times, sometimes feverish, watch-alerts (goodby to the anxieties, NOT the yearnings for His Return😍!). And if we can trust in the perfect timing of His very soon Coming, and occupy as He has commanded, then we can know true success, rejoicing in the awesome uniqueness of creative individuality within the unity of Christ - walking out our "newness of life", marvelling at all the amazing "lights" (each and every soul that belongs to Him) that God has created for His good pleasure.......and, therefore, for ours too! Yup, getting very exciting now!!!
Thank you this helped me so much right now. I think we are too scared to change our lifes and give it in god's hands. So this is a challenge that we all have i think. To trust more and more in god. :) Thanks for this Video.
Amen! May I suggest a couple books that you might find encouraging / insightful in relation to this idea of 'purpose'... "The Will to Meaning" by Victor Frankl, as well as another work of his - "Man's Search for Meaning". God bless you brother!
I think it depends how you define success. We can have different points of view on the subject of happiness. Don't know what you are good at? Go to the library there is tons of information and find what you like( The internet can be more convenient). There is quizzes that you can take online to see what careers may be suitable for you. You are going to make mistakes;a lot of them. You are going to falldown. The point is knowing how to deal with it. Plenty of people go through same situations that you are going through. The good thing is that they overcame it and you can do likewise. Think for yourself. Don't be lazy !!
I've got a question: I'm in college, studying architecture. But I don't know if the Lord wants me to continue, or if it's just me who doesn't want to continue. I personally feel like I should be a musician for the Lord in some way, but I don't know if that's just a selfish thought, or something the Lord actually wants from me.
Wow man, I really like this episode! The PlayMobil actuation was awesome! haha But, one question... Don't you think that this parable is talking about the LIFE OF JESUS(?); that is living inside us (the talent)? Like, we have to share it... And for do it, we can use our ability. When Jesus ascended to the heavens: "15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." What do you think about it?
Thanks! Yeah I think you can interpret the parable that way too! One of the beautiful things about the Bible, it's often multi-layered and can have multiple applications :)
Love this so so much! Thank you Jonathan. This is one I come back to when I need to be reminded of these truths ❤

Always a bold move to go with something other than the safe route! But usually more exciting / rewarding too!
AMEN! 💯
Great words mate. Relevant for this current generation.
Thank you Ian!
