"How can I have faith when there is no hope" that line really hit hard for me. I'm glad you reacted to this for sure, its a song I can heavily identify with. Personally, I've found picking up the bible to be the hardest thing for me to do. its something I've always even strayed away from. As a young kid, I can remember being told that I would go to hell because of something the bible said, and that altered my future forever. I didn't come to know God at all until I read "The Shack" which is categorized as a work of fiction but... I've never felt a closer connection or loved more than when I was introduced to god there. For years the god I built up in my head was only something to be feared. I saw no salvation or forgiveness for myself and so I dared not pursue more knowledge of him. It's taken upwards of a decade for me to begin sorting through the twisted ways I was introduced to god, and figure out how to know him myself. I still struggle with it. What he wrote was heavy and beautifully done. I admire how he ended the song too, it was powerful in my opinion. Another great video, Jordan. Thanks for sharing with us again!
This song relates to so much. It was like everything everyone has wanted to say but put into one beautiful song. "Why is there only one you, but multiple religions" is suuuchhhhh a powerful statement. I grew up with a family that went to church every Sunday, I had a grandfather tell my mother her children would go to hell when she said it was OUR choice not anyone else's to believe what we believe in. I have always remained open to every single person because I truly believe there is 1 God that we all our trying to find. Do not judge others, treat everyone equally, and understand we are all human far from perfect. Best of luck on your Journey thank you for sharing your feelings!
Feeling Too Easy this song relates to everyone one way or another. I personally found and walked great with god but then I felt the church wasn’t for me and I lost track causing me to lose his relationship and a relationship with loved ones. But I’m still proceeding to walk bc god knows and he will always be here to help.
@5:30 hes saying that under no relgion did god reveal himself hes saying because it is written means it is made by man means it is not what God truly means it means it is tainted by Mans perception of the world and what god is it means each person needs to find his or her own version of god and that is the true god it is different for everyone
People take the bible literally, it’s more metaphorical a church can be a mass of people or 5 or more ..not a building it’s self..you don’t need the “church” or “religion” to worship GOD or Jesus.
Thank you for this. You have an awesome perspective of everything. A Christian Instagram page I followed blocked me because of this song. They posted a snippet of the song and called him a blasphemer and said he's going to hell. And I came out and said who hasn't questioned God who hasn't asked God questions? Why do Christians have to be the most judgemental people why can't we let God do the judging. I told them we need less religion and more Jesus. And that we are all sinner and not one person is better than the other. Kinda hurt my heart that I got blocked for that. Christianity gets such a bad name for people being like that. We need to love each other and stand together. Love the video. If you read the whole comment thank you so much this has been on my mind for the past week.
I did read the whole comment and it sounds like you're closer to Christianity than some who were running that page. I'm glad you said what you did, maybe it will convince others that they need to reevaluate themselves. Keep searching and don't let others tur you off from what is true.
@@JordanVillarreal you're awesome man. I need to reevaluate my life I know God I grew up a church going home. Ive drifted away from God because of depression I'm dealing with addictions I need to stop. I know God is real but ever since I've became depressed I feel like I can't have a relationship with him..I feel so distant I feel like I question him more than I should when I should just trust him. I wonder a lot if God is real and a bunch of other stupid things I shouldn't think about. I just feel like I can't get back on the right track.
I'm 16 and Christian but I technically don't believe in religion I believe in God himself. But I'm sorry other Christians have been cruel to others that not what god wanted any of us to do. God wants us to ask questions, he wants us to lean on him with our worries. So technically Dax is stating everything that even I have asked God.
David-James Sekumade thats not fully correct. Some church’s are full of liars and other issues. There is some good church’s out there but ones where the pastor is driving a expensive car and preaching god and pocketing collection plate money and donations and not helping the needy or homeless he is a false teacher. A pastor is suppose to preach gods word and do his best to keep it but even a pastor will struggle no one is immune but as I said before a church is not family if its full of liars and judgemental people.
I dont believe in god but i am going to subscribe and leave a like cause i appreciate that you understand multiple sides and i would like to hear more of what you have to say when it comes to god in your next videos, who knows maybe you'll change my opinion.
Primal I’ve been down lately and seeing this comment made me feel so much better. The fact that you are interested in Jordan and how he sees butch and sides of the story, how he may change your mind, makes my day seeing that you give him a chance and hopefully you he does change it. I hope you find God walking with you through your journey in what we call life. I hope you have a blessed life!
@@Swxze24 Wow that means a lot, and i actually used to be super into Christianity. I road with my friend to church every week cause my family stopped going, after a while in my curiosity i made my own decision without even telling my fam at first to get baptized. The reason i changed is because in a not trying to be rude towards anyone way.... Is im really smart, and when you have a brain thats so based off of facts and proof its very hard to believe anymore. Your a really good person bro, and i really hope you have a blessed life. Even if i dont believe in the end and i die living by myself and my true morals being the person i should be, find out he's real, i hope that he will give me a chance to talk to him and understand why i couldn't believe.
"Real Christians and real people of God can ADMIT that they mess up and screw up, AND struggle with thoughts like ANYBODY ELSE would". Christianity != Perfection. Christianity == Saved By Grace.
I just want to say Thank You....you opened my eyes to a lot of things. I had a lot of similar questions just like this video and when I would start to ask the questions I would be met with a negative energy. You react logically and have real answers. You are great at what you do and the only way to really find the answers to the questions I have I need to ask God himself and seek the answers for myself. Again thank you for not getting offended when questions like these are asked.
I've seen so many reactions to this video, and I can say you were the most humblest and most understanding. You didnt shut down his opinion and instead chose to break it down and explain, mad props. God bless.
Does anyone think that NASA is the devil and makes up discoveries to get paid and tell us there’s loads of planets to go against gods word by saying there’s one world he created for us?
Your response to this was so honest and that was so refreshing you did not make excuses for the church and that made me respect you. I made sure I subscribed!! Great work!! Thank you!
I'm 21 I considered myself agnostic I've searched for so many years for something to believe in..... this is why this song hit me so hard I've lost a close friend from suicide in 2013 I've prayed been to church I still have a spot in my soul that's believes I'll admit it but its just so hard with everything that's happened and is happening
@@queenblankson525 i feel the Buddhists energy, the real "god" which is the soul or self and the part of you that thinks is the mind and then the body is for controlling the physical world.
The song is alot deeper than even Dax himself will tell you or admit cause it questions so many things the very powerful in the world are hiding, mixing and confusing most people in the world.
i love the part in your video where you talk about the corruption of the churches, it's so real and blatant nowadays, thus being one of the reasons for turning once believers away from God, and also responsible for creating the cultural shifts of going against the bible like what is being promoted through the music industry. Simply put it, a lot of churches now are growing towards the path of division, than of acceptance.
You helping talk through this after ive seen it. Helped me find GOD again. Yes. Im hurting, sad, deppressed, but i know GOD will take care of me in the end. Ive had moments and times where i questioned everything. Sometimes it happens again. But GOD has a plan, maybe its not my plan, or what i want in the moment, but im certain im the end its for the greater good.
I agree with Dax and I feel like this dude reacting to this starts to question also as he hesitates, Great song and he delivered his message appropriately
This channel is absolutely amazing. This is a needed reaction channel. I cant wait to see the true identity come forth in the people who find this channel.
Your reaction moved me. I FEEL every word Dax is saying, and your responses eased my questions and thoughts. I have attended 12 churches, all around America(army wife). And have left all of these not feeling welcome. I want God, I need Him, but I don't SEE or HEAR him. Some of the most judgemental people I have ever met were in churches. You made me believe He is there.
Hands down one of the best reaction videos I've ever seen. I really like the message that you delivered in it. I have always been searching for and seeking truth, but like Dax, i ask God for answers.
So much respect Jordan. You're very understanding and can see the hurt and pain of others. Even the confusion. A lot of people don't get or respect the gift of free will. It's a tool that can destroy you or save you. You can walk away from anything or stand up for it. You can drop to your knees and repent. Because when you leave this world you're not taking anything or anyone with you. It's only you and you to blame. Question everything and find the truth. Don't let other people's opinion be your values or self worth. Actions build Character and you are who you say you are by your actions. Great reaction to a powerful message from Dax.
His voice makes me feel safe breaking down crying in front of him to tell all my problems-- And the fact that he's so understanding of Dax' struggles (which I can relate to to an extent) it just makes me feel like- idk. I feel like I'm accepted as a Christian.
As a Christian who came out of a cult, I just want to say A I love this song. And B the only way I've found peace and left behind the abusive environment and paranoia and found real answers was finding the hand of Jesus in my own. When everything else betrays me, even my mind, he stays the same. I hope other people find that too. Thanks for the video! 🐰
i just saw this video in my recommend and i watched it and i feel the same way Dax feels and i have been going through a hard time lately and my grandma has been praying for me and her praying has been helping me cause the things i have gone through has gotten better. I'm also scared that if i come back that god won't help me anymore.
Jordan I just want to thank you man. You are one of the few Pastors I have seen that I would be willing to join the congregation of. Me and my family have been done wrong by the church and it left a mark. My father was a preacher, made pastor of a small country church that was in need of repair and he went out of his way to fix it up and get it where it should be and no sooner did it happen than he was replaced as pastor of that church. To my knowledge he has only preached a couple times since that happened it hurt him so deeply and honestly I am not sure he ever recovered. I grew up surrounded by christians, from my grandmother to my aunts, uncles, mother, father, brother, sister. We traveled around visiting countless churches as a christian singing group at one point. I have always been a firm believer in God. His son is my savior and I know him well. That said I don't have the love for the church that I once did. Several years ago I tried to help my girlfriend (now Wife) to find God and I had convinced her to come to my church I felt at home there but when I brought her the church folk didn't approve of her clothes which weren't inappropriate and they didnt make that a secret they judged her based on appearance and didn't truly give her a chance. That happened and I have since not gone to that church and I find it difficult for me to feel comfortable going to a church. I've gotten invitations but I hold that fear of being used or judged by the last people on this Earth that I would ever expect to do so let along bring my wife as well. I have a rough past my brother died before I was a week old, I was diagnosed with Leukemia at Age 15 and have since overcome it by the grace of God. I have every reason in the world to hate God or question his existance but I don't. I love him I can never express how truly grateful I am to he and his son but I am still recovering from the pain I have felt and I'll admit that. Now I do my best to be a good role model, and live the best way I can, teaching 8th Grade Science to underprivileged children. Also if you read this far thanks for your time I know I wrote a book for ya.
I've never really believed in God or had faith in anything because when I was five years old I was beat by a nun when I lived in Texas and this song reminds me of everything that I thought of and how I felt about God listening to you break it down made me think maybe there is a reason to all this madness in this world because without madness their would be no love thank you.
You have earned my subscription simply by you agreeing that the church has failed so many. I love your perspective. I respect your opinion and believe we have similar views. Much love!
Wow my young brother well done. I’m a 48 year old man brought up as a Muslim until I was 5 then came to the states where my step grandfather was a southern baptist preacher and you want to talk about confusion. I was always told about all the things that would send you too hell and what a vengeful god we have. Then the message was the God of love. How you don’t answer certain questions but acknowledge why is honestly the most insightful thing I’ve heard and I’ve been trying to take in as much as possible. I am in personal pursuit and am a single father of 2 girls trying to just do right. People sometimes do vent not to hear an answer but to just exhaust the great amount of suffering or non comprehension of how if there is a God how could the “BAD” things be allowed to happen. Thank you for not trying to answer all the unanswerable questions. If anyone could there would not be so much division. Thank you for reinvigorating my quest as I don’t feel so senseless because I question so much. I always felt that I was an outcast because of my audacity to question. I don’t question because I don’t want to believe, I question because I want to give my daughters the best me I can. By the best me I mean the most honest me but still be of great faith.!!!!! As Dax said I’m gonna end this with an AMEN 🙏!!!!!!
I have only seen half of this video and none of your other videos. But if you were my pastor as a kid I’d still believe with my whole heart. You’ve earned a sub. Maybe I’ll see god through you again.
A believer in Gd too but of a different religion. Was struggling with some demons in my life and this gave me the strength to push them away. Not only your reaction to this video and all the insight you gave but your disposition especially. This is my first time watching your vids and I like the calm understanding demeanor you exude. Reminded me of how I wanted to be when I started becoming religious. Thank you
I'm glad you said something I have commented on other reactions, this isn't a song it's a prayer. My personal belief is that the Bible is designed (by whoever) to make you ask the hard questions, and you only get the answers once you have been completely honest. I belive in God, not the church. Keep doing what your doing, peace 🙏
If you’re looking for a good church , you should visit ( if you live in Enterprise Alabama) Highpointe Church. They do live streams of Sunday church, and my God I love the pastor. He’s an amazing man who says the message so well, and is explicit about everything. He tells it how it is, doesn’t sugarcoat it for the nonbelievers, and stays true to the Bible. I love him man.
Jake Logiics the Bible tells us that it is always a test of faith. Also it says it is easier for a poor or struggling person to get into heaven/find God so that’s why you see more struggling people believing in God
What are the statistics on this? I know many 3rd world countries are currently Christian, but a hundred years ago all the super powers were Christian while the 3rd world countries were undeveloped. Also currently a majority of the top 10 richest men are Catholic.
Jordan what's you've said in this video really hit me and really spoke to me, thank you I find myself getting lost due to recent times and seek God but feels disconnected from everything
When Dax mentioned the fact he can still hear the screams of the children a pastor molested actually reminded me of the reason I stopped going to churches. When I was seven my dad got with a very religious woman, before we never went out to social religious groupings or anything of the sort but because she did, we did too soon. There was two sections of the church, one for children and one for adults. I felt as though the children there were treated very oddly, almost as if they believe we knew nothing, and the "children's version" of the bible they gave us was just horrible. It wasn't censored or reworded so they could understand, it felt like a whole new book. I told my dad this so he agreed to let me go with him and his girlfriend to the adult section though she argued against it. The pastor there went on odd rants a lot and acted strangely but I didn't think too much into it at first. Later that day when we were about to leave and he asked if I wanted to be shown around because I was "new." I've been going for several months at this point so I simply told him no and thanked him before going next to my dad due to the fact he was a bit pushy about it. When I was around ten or eleven years old, I got word of him actually being taken in for pedophilia. I don't know all the details, but people like that man really put a bad name on churches and religion as a whole and it's saddening really. In my opinion, you don't need to go to a church to speak to God, you can easily do so in your own home or when you feel lost anywhere. So if you feel uncomfortable or unsure if you want to go to large social religious gatherings you don't need to force yourself. Also, by no means am I saying every gathering or every pastor is the same, I'm not, but this is just an example of why it's so easy to mistrust the words of others or even question God's doings in general.
He is the pastor I needed as a child and even as an adult ... ty for your outlook and being understanding of others beliefs, without shoving the Christian God down everyone's throat
I also have a story I was a dealer and addict 9 year heroine habat. And my girl got pregnant. She was on that shot 99.9 effective. And I was like I any a dad well get rid of it. But in the end o had a stroke of contious and could not do it. So then in there I hit my knees and prayed 🙏 asking not to be drug free but to be a good dad. You know what it's like kicking heroine after 9 years? Nither do I but going on 14 years sober. Take what ya want from that. I still have doubts when I know I should not I've received blessings but it easy to forget. Why is that we are momentarily thankful. I'm thankful when I remember. And that's sad
I’ve had this song on repeat for a while because every line and every word hits me. I’ve been here for so long and I haven’t been to church in years because of it. If you were a pastor at church nearby though, I would go to it. It’s Dax said I don’t want the answers from another sinner just because he went to an academy and wears a robe. You didn’t try to give us any answers to the questions, you just try to help us solve the questions on our own. Great reaction.
So many people are closed minded and forced to think a certain way just because of their religion. religion changes people’s beliefs but doesn’t take away their questions
The Bible says blessed are the poor in spirit for their's is the kingdom of heaven, meaning those who recognize that they need God and Jesus in their lives will get all the answers they need, seek God wholeheartledly and you WILL find Him🤍
Chris Jones its not the issue of giving money the issue is some church’s pastors pocket the money when the money is suppose to be used to help the needy and the church not for the pastor to have a fancy car and this and that. Thats the issue.
I’m really glad I found your channel, been struggling with my Christian faith the last couple years. I’ve never stopped believing in a higher being “God” so when Dax says, “I don’t want religion, I need that spirituality” that really resinated with me to the core. I’ve been on a spiritual quest of sorts. There is so many faiths, and questioning if my beliefs are what God wanted/intended for ALL of mankind? Then why and how are there so many different belief/faiths? So yes, I guess like Dax lyrics said I don’t want religion, I need that spirituality. And as long as I have a relationship with our lord, then I shouldn’t feel like I let my “religion” down. Again, thank you!
This song holds dear to my heart i started to question everything i was in this deep dark tunnel but god shined a light down that tunnel and i found my way out
I personally do not believe in god. But I personally respect everyone that does and am quite interested in why that is so. Never showed judgement towards those that are and seeing u not judging the lyrics for questioning his existence when we suffer and understand it showed ur open mind. Subbed
I can relate to this so much 8 of my closest friends died and my parents kicked me out 9 months ago none of my family love me and i find my self asking god what i did wrong every day i have a scholarship for basketball but its hard to go on in life when their is so much weight on everyone
This is my first time watching your videos but I love this, I just lost a close friend about a month ago and I lost hope in god but you made me think about it, thank you ❤️
Hello Jordan, I have seen another pastor react to this and it felt like he was avoiding alot of the questions. For some reason I feel drawn to yours. Your willingness to give honest answers and reasons why God does what he does. I'm not 100% religious but I do think God is there and has a plan for me. I struggle to find what that is but I'm most at peace when I help those who are in need. It's only on a small scale but it's rewarding. How do I know if this is the path I am to travel and not something I just enjoy doing. I'm definitely going to subscribe and look at other videos you have done.
I am still a believer but I have one question. Everyone says that he is always in your heart and always in heaven at home so don't worry. My question is, if he is at home how come he never has time to pick up the phone? Amen
I am going to subscribe to you.. you understand those who question so many things without bashing us! You understand us.. and I want to learn from your videos. ❤️✊🏽
This whole video has been such a relatable thing to me. I have always been scared to ask questions. I honestly don’t know what to even believe and what not to believe. This is the very first time I’m actually telling anyone about this besides my parents and they used to think the same. I don’t know where to start because I’ve always believed but deep down I’ve always wondered about certain things .Thanks to this video I know that I can be honest and seek for god and not be scared to ask questions. 🙏🏼

Peace to everyone....
Agreed
Yes
Obviously a higher power exists but is it god? God is a man made word
Same
your dumb It’s a made up word that we used to talk about a higher power dumbass
Jesus didn’t want a church , he didn’t want religion. He wanted love and peace
Pvt Ace facts
“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church” explain??
AND ROCK N' ROLL
People take the bible literally, it’s more metaphorical a church can be a mass of people or 5 or more ..not a building it’s self..you don’t need the “church” or “religion” to worship GOD or Jesus.

The best reaction video i've ever seen. Good reaction, great message, thanks pastor.
I don’t need a church ⛪ I need people to call a family 🔥 that part is really deep

I don't need people I need a family to call my church
Excellent song and I love your commentary. You are definitely a true messenger. The world needs pastors like you and more artists like Dax
This is why i said that Dax is Underrated...
You can see that the pastor is shock becauses his words or letters or whatever u wanna call it.
“God is bigger than the failure of people.” So true 🙏🏼😔
Yeah right
Nah
God is the one who makes people fail or succeed
Big Zhumbe simply not true humans are what make us fail when we don’t follow Gods plan

Bro, you sayin' your against a hive mind? We love it
Does anyone think that NASA is the devil and makes up discoveries to get paid and tell us there’s loads of planets to go against gods word by saying there’s one world he created for us?
Shane Edwards do you ever think that the church makes stories up to spread their dogma
@@obiwankenobi2520 mhm
Your response to this was so honest and that was so refreshing you did not make excuses for the church and that made me respect you. I made sure I subscribed!! Great work!! Thank you!
I love this reaction. I learned so many things from you, sir Jordan Villareal
I'm 21 I considered myself agnostic I've searched for so many years for something to believe in..... this is why this song hit me so hard I've lost a close friend from suicide in 2013 I've prayed been to church I still have a spot in my soul that's believes I'll admit it but its just so hard with everything that's happened and is happening
UndeadD3monWolf Hamm keep going and don’t give up, Jesus loves you... ❤️
@@queenblankson525 thanks I'll keep on going I'm never going to give up 100% on him so idk maybe sooner or later I'll find him
Andrew Hamm ❤️
@@queenblankson525 i feel the Buddhists energy, the real "god" which is the soul or self and the part of you that thinks is the mind and then the body is for controlling the physical world.
The song is alot deeper than even Dax himself will tell you or admit cause it questions so many things the very powerful in the world are hiding, mixing and confusing most people in the world.
i love the part in your video where you talk about the corruption of the churches, it's so real and blatant nowadays, thus being one of the reasons for turning once believers away from God, and also responsible for creating the cultural shifts of going against the bible like what is being promoted through the music industry. Simply put it, a lot of churches now are growing towards the path of division, than of acceptance.
This Video is what i needed. Thank you for reacting to it man. I feel like god sent you to put in a word about this. Thanks man.
love this channel, as a christian I love hearing your perspective. this song is fire
I came across your channel out of random, nothing about god ever comes onto my suggestions but I’m glad this did & honestly shaken it did. Thank you
I loved it!! Keep it up Jordan!
You helping talk through this after ive seen it. Helped me find GOD again. Yes. Im hurting, sad, deppressed, but i know GOD will take care of me in the end. Ive had moments and times where i questioned everything. Sometimes it happens again. But GOD has a plan, maybe its not my plan, or what i want in the moment, but im certain im the end its for the greater good.
Amen Brother! God bless you! Jesus loves you man :)
I agree with Dax and I feel like this dude reacting to this starts to question also as he hesitates, Great song and he delivered his message appropriately
The realest pastor I’ve ever heard speak. Respect and god bless to you my guy.
This channel is absolutely amazing. This is a needed reaction channel. I cant wait to see the true identity come forth in the people who find this channel.
Your reaction moved me. I FEEL every word Dax is saying, and your responses eased my questions and thoughts. I have attended 12 churches, all around America(army wife). And have left all of these not feeling welcome. I want God, I need Him, but I don't SEE or HEAR him. Some of the most judgemental people I have ever met were in churches. You made me believe He is there.
Hands down one of the best reaction videos I've ever seen. I really like the message that you delivered in it. I have always been searching for and seeking truth, but like Dax, i ask God for answers.
So much respect Jordan. You're very understanding and can see the hurt and pain of others. Even the confusion. A lot of people don't get or respect the gift of free will. It's a tool that can destroy you or save you. You can walk away from anything or stand up for it. You can drop to your knees and repent. Because when you leave this world you're not taking anything or anyone with you. It's only you and you to blame. Question everything and find the truth. Don't let other people's opinion be your values or self worth. Actions build Character and you are who you say you are by your actions. Great reaction to a powerful message from Dax.
His voice makes me feel safe breaking down crying in front of him to tell all my problems--
And the fact that he's so understanding of Dax' struggles (which I can relate to to an extent) it just makes me feel like- idk. I feel like I'm accepted as a Christian.
As a Christian who came out of a cult, I just want to say A I love this song. And B the only way I've found peace and left behind the abusive environment and paranoia and found real answers was finding the hand of Jesus in my own. When everything else betrays me, even my mind, he stays the same. I hope other people find that too. Thanks for the video! 🐰
Shannon Morris what cult??
i just saw this video in my recommend and i watched it and i feel the same way Dax feels and i have been going through a hard time lately and my grandma has been praying for me and her praying has been helping me cause the things i have gone through has gotten better. I'm also scared that if i come back that god won't help me anymore.
Jordan I just want to thank you man. You are one of the few Pastors I have seen that I would be willing to join the congregation of. Me and my family have been done wrong by the church and it left a mark. My father was a preacher, made pastor of a small country church that was in need of repair and he went out of his way to fix it up and get it where it should be and no sooner did it happen than he was replaced as pastor of that church. To my knowledge he has only preached a couple times since that happened it hurt him so deeply and honestly I am not sure he ever recovered. I grew up surrounded by christians, from my grandmother to my aunts, uncles, mother, father, brother, sister. We traveled around visiting countless churches as a christian singing group at one point. I have always been a firm believer in God. His son is my savior and I know him well. That said I don't have the love for the church that I once did. Several years ago I tried to help my girlfriend (now Wife) to find God and I had convinced her to come to my church I felt at home there but when I brought her the church folk didn't approve of her clothes which weren't inappropriate and they didnt make that a secret they judged her based on appearance and didn't truly give her a chance. That happened and I have since not gone to that church and I find it difficult for me to feel comfortable going to a church. I've gotten invitations but I hold that fear of being used or judged by the last people on this Earth that I would ever expect to do so let along bring my wife as well.
I have a rough past my brother died before I was a week old, I was diagnosed with Leukemia at Age 15 and have since overcome it by the grace of God. I have every reason in the world to hate God or question his existance but I don't. I love him I can never express how truly grateful I am to he and his son but I am still recovering from the pain I have felt and I'll admit that. Now I do my best to be a good role model, and live the best way I can, teaching 8th Grade Science to underprivileged children. Also if you read this far thanks for your time I know I wrote a book for ya.
Loved everything you had to say.. hit me on insta let's talk more!
Highkey im just high af and I like hearing and reading everyone’s opinions and views on this touchy subject 🤷🏼♂️
Justin Nassef no need to post this for attention. You spammed it across a few videos.
Yeah bro I did that for attention ! You creeping on me you weird fuck ??
🤣🤣🤣 oh fk
I've never really believed in God or had faith in anything because when I was five years old I was beat by a nun when I lived in Texas and this song reminds me of everything that I thought of and how I felt about God listening to you break it down made me think maybe there is a reason to all this madness in this world because without madness their would be no love thank you.
Respect. Not dodging any questions but answered in a respected manner.
Thanks pastor may God bless the work ur doing!
You have earned my subscription simply by you agreeing that the church has failed so many. I love your perspective. I respect your opinion and believe we have similar views. Much love!
Love love love your true reaction. I agree 100 percent. It's REAL!!!! Love it!
Wow my young brother well done. I’m a 48 year old man brought up as a Muslim until I was 5 then came to the states where my step grandfather was a southern baptist preacher and you want to talk about confusion. I was always told about all the things that would send you too hell and what a vengeful god we have. Then the message was the God of love. How you don’t answer certain questions but acknowledge why is honestly the most insightful thing I’ve heard and I’ve been trying to take in as much as possible. I am in personal pursuit and am a single father of 2 girls trying to just do right. People sometimes do vent not to hear an answer but to just exhaust the great amount of suffering or non comprehension of how if there is a God how could the “BAD” things be allowed to happen. Thank you for not trying to answer all the unanswerable questions. If anyone could there would not be so much division. Thank you for reinvigorating my quest as I don’t feel so senseless because I question so much. I always felt that I was an outcast because of my audacity to question. I don’t question because I don’t want to believe, I question because I want to give my daughters the best me I can. By the best me I mean the most honest me but still be of great faith.!!!!! As Dax said I’m gonna end this with an AMEN 🙏!!!!!!
I really enjoy listening to you. Very genuine. I'd loveeeee to discuss all my questions about God + Jesus!! you got my subscription :)
trust is everything. another great video all the way around. thank you.
First reaction of yours I’ve seen. Good reaction my dude. I enjoyed this. Thank you.
More respect to pastor jordan 😇
Thank you for this video you are a real one and I love what your doing what your saying really helps me see what light is left in this dark world
Im an atheist, but you are very wise and I respect you and your believes and I want you to share your believes with other people because they need it.
I have only seen half of this video and none of your other videos. But if you were my pastor as a kid I’d still believe with my whole heart. You’ve earned a sub. Maybe I’ll see god through you again.
A believer in Gd too but of a different religion. Was struggling with some demons in my life and this gave me the strength to push them away. Not only your reaction to this video and all the insight you gave but your disposition especially. This is my first time watching your vids and I like the calm understanding demeanor you exude. Reminded me of how I wanted to be when I started becoming religious. Thank you
I'm glad you said something I have commented on other reactions, this isn't a song it's a prayer.
My personal belief is that the Bible is designed (by whoever) to make you ask the hard questions, and you only get the answers once you have been completely honest.
I belive in God, not the church.
Keep doing what your doing, peace 🙏
If you’re looking for a good church , you should visit ( if you live in Enterprise Alabama) Highpointe Church. They do live streams of Sunday church, and my God I love the pastor. He’s an amazing man who says the message so well, and is explicit about everything. He tells it how it is, doesn’t sugarcoat it for the nonbelievers, and stays true to the Bible. I love him man.
This paster: I can respect him for this other reaction paster: he’s not a Christian.....
Brad Morrison he was saying
This pastor: I can agree with Dax.
Other pastors: he’s not a Christian
yopierre yes 💯
@@vincentcarchedi2936 other pastors weren’t saying he isn’t a Christian
If “God” is real then why are there so many of his “children/believers” in worse situations in life than non-believers?
Jake Logiics the Bible tells us that it is always a test of faith. Also it says it is easier for a poor or struggling person to get into heaven/find God so that’s why you see more struggling people believing in God
Okay, another question, who wrote the bible?
What are the statistics on this? I know many 3rd world countries are currently Christian, but a hundred years ago all the super powers were Christian while the 3rd world countries were undeveloped. Also currently a majority of the top 10 richest men are Catholic.
@@ItzLogiics4 God had many many humans from different times write the bible
@@ItzLogiics4 you can easily look up who wrote the books of the bible
Jordan what's you've said in this video really hit me and really spoke to me, thank you I find myself getting lost due to recent times and seek God but feels disconnected from everything
When Dax mentioned the fact he can still hear the screams of the children a pastor molested actually reminded me of the reason I stopped going to churches. When I was seven my dad got with a very religious woman, before we never went out to social religious groupings or anything of the sort but because she did, we did too soon. There was two sections of the church, one for children and one for adults. I felt as though the children there were treated very oddly, almost as if they believe we knew nothing, and the "children's version" of the bible they gave us was just horrible. It wasn't censored or reworded so they could understand, it felt like a whole new book. I told my dad this so he agreed to let me go with him and his girlfriend to the adult section though she argued against it. The pastor there went on odd rants a lot and acted strangely but I didn't think too much into it at first. Later that day when we were about to leave and he asked if I wanted to be shown around because I was "new." I've been going for several months at this point so I simply told him no and thanked him before going next to my dad due to the fact he was a bit pushy about it. When I was around ten or eleven years old, I got word of him actually being taken in for pedophilia. I don't know all the details, but people like that man really put a bad name on churches and religion as a whole and it's saddening really. In my opinion, you don't need to go to a church to speak to God, you can easily do so in your own home or when you feel lost anywhere. So if you feel uncomfortable or unsure if you want to go to large social religious gatherings you don't need to force yourself. Also, by no means am I saying every gathering or every pastor is the same, I'm not, but this is just an example of why it's so easy to mistrust the words of others or even question God's doings in general.
I feel ya. That line actually comes from DAX' mom telling him his old Pastor in Canada was accused of child abuse.
I feel you but... That a whole peragraph 😅
He is the pastor I needed as a child and even as an adult ... ty for your outlook and being understanding of others beliefs, without shoving the Christian God down everyone's throat
I also have a story I was a dealer and addict 9 year heroine habat. And my girl got pregnant. She was on that shot 99.9 effective. And I was like I any a dad well get rid of it. But in the end o had a stroke of contious and could not do it. So then in there I hit my knees and prayed 🙏 asking not to be drug free but to be a good dad. You know what it's like kicking heroine after 9 years? Nither do I but going on 14 years sober. Take what ya want from that. I still have doubts when I know I should not I've received blessings but it easy to forget. Why is that we are momentarily thankful. I'm thankful when I remember. And that's sad
I love the message with the song. You r the 4th reaction I watched of this and do you and keep going because it’s God’s message and I felt that
I’ve had this song on repeat for a while because every line and every word hits me. I’ve been here for so long and I haven’t been to church in years because of it. If you were a pastor at church nearby though, I would go to it. It’s Dax said I don’t want the answers from another sinner just because he went to an academy and wears a robe. You didn’t try to give us any answers to the questions, you just try to help us solve the questions on our own. Great reaction.
A double blessing....Thank you
So many people are closed minded and forced to think a certain way just because of their religion. religion changes people’s beliefs but doesn’t take away their questions
The Bible says blessed are the poor in spirit for their's is the kingdom of heaven, meaning those who recognize that they need God and Jesus in their lives will get all the answers they need, seek God wholeheartledly and you WILL find Him🤍
Thanks for your words Pastor... as a man struggling in my own walk, your words have encouraged me. Keep being real 👍
React To " Devils Work " By Joyner Lucas, Its Just Like This
Up
Zhrody then the ill mind of Hopsin 7 its the same thing but better
Zhrody joyner lucas was more lazy with it tbh
Bizzles reaction to joyners song......the best
When I was issued my dog tags I told them Christain no denomination and I found it beautiful that due to limited space it reads Christian no demon.
Remember when you could go to a church and they didn’t ask for money? No? Me either.
Chris Jones its not the issue of giving money the issue is some church’s pastors pocket the money when the money is suppose to be used to help the needy and the church not for the pastor to have a fancy car and this and that. Thats the issue.
Yes, every time I've ever been to Church. I'm Lutheran.
I’m really glad I found your channel, been struggling with my Christian faith the last couple years. I’ve never stopped believing in a higher being “God” so when Dax says, “I don’t want religion, I need that spirituality” that really resinated with me to the core. I’ve been on a spiritual quest of sorts. There is so many faiths, and questioning if my beliefs are what God wanted/intended for ALL of mankind? Then why and how are there so many different belief/faiths? So yes, I guess like Dax lyrics said I don’t want religion, I need that spirituality. And as long as I have a relationship with our lord, then I shouldn’t feel like I let my “religion” down.
Again, thank you!
This pastor is amazing I haven't seen many pastors who have voiced what they really think
Wow you are a great preacher wish I could someday visit ur church
I have to comment
This is the most satisfying reaction of Dear God I have ever watched 💯✔️
good reaction your the first preacher that I've seen reacting to this and did not default to saying he's lacking faith.
Thanks for your deep understanding. Let not judge others but rather let love lead us all .
Ps. Jordan. That's excellence in love. Blessing
hey y'all I have been struggling with depression, I also am struggling to find myself. I feel so alone right now I don't know what to do anymore
I'll be praying for you, I hope you find yourself and find God if you haven't yet.
@@KillerWhale_YT thank you
I needed this tonight. Watching this and listening to you, renewed me and refreshed me. I love you and am so proud of you
God Is good. Bless you! :D
Huh wut
Hey brother. I want you to know, I love your reaction. I'm reaching out and would love to talk to you somehow.
This song holds dear to my heart i started to question everything i was in this deep dark tunnel but god shined a light down that tunnel and i found my way out
hey what do you think about dax cursing
I personally do not believe in god. But I personally respect everyone that does and am quite interested in why that is so. Never showed judgement towards those that are and seeing u not judging the lyrics for questioning his existence when we suffer and understand it showed ur open mind. Subbed
Wow... Thank you, thank you so much. This helped
I can relate to this so much 8 of my closest friends died and my parents kicked me out 9 months ago none of my family love me and i find my self asking god what i did wrong every day i have a scholarship for basketball but its hard to go on in life when their is so much weight on everyone
But know this brother! Jesus LOVES you! i will pray for you and your family, God bless you!
This is my first time watching your videos but I love this, I just lost a close friend about a month ago and I lost hope in god but you made me think about it, thank you ❤️
Hello Jordan, I have seen another pastor react to this and it felt like he was avoiding alot of the questions. For some reason I feel drawn to yours. Your willingness to give honest answers and reasons why God does what he does. I'm not 100% religious but I do think God is there and has a plan for me. I struggle to find what that is but I'm most at peace when I help those who are in need. It's only on a small scale but it's rewarding. How do I know if this is the path I am to travel and not something I just enjoy doing. I'm definitely going to subscribe and look at other videos you have done.
I am still a believer but I have one question.
Everyone says that he is always in your heart and always in heaven at home so don't worry. My question is, if he is at home how come he never has time to pick up the phone?
Amen
Awesome reaction young man👊
Got to say, love the way you laid your words out for Humanity, it's a form of prophesy brother!
Damn that was such a real reaction, hope you achieve big things man!! Keep up the great work 😀
Keep it up bro love seeing people minister in the way you do
I am going to subscribe to you.. you understand those who question so many things without bashing us! You understand us.. and I want to learn from your videos. ❤️✊🏽
Recently got confirmed God is great but he might not answer my question but I still have faith he’s looking over me
He will answer it, just have a little faith, Heavenly Father can answer your question in many ways and He is Unlimited. He loves you❤ stay strong man.
With people like you and more like u we can do everything 💯
Love the reaction man !!!
I being watching lots of reactions. This vedio & The reaction I have getting from those. made my Day. Worth it. Amen.
This whole video has been such a relatable thing to me. I have always been scared to ask questions. I honestly don’t know what to even believe and what not to believe. This is the very first time I’m actually telling anyone about this besides my parents and they used to think the same. I don’t know where to start because I’ve always believed but deep down I’ve always wondered about certain things .Thanks to this video I know that I can be honest and seek for god and not be scared to ask questions. 🙏🏼
i love your view on this man. subbed
Great reaction. If you would react to Hopsin “I’ll mind 7” sorta the same as this song
He already did, with his dad... I think!
He already reacted to it
Hi Brother I am catholic.. but I agree with you. More Power and Godbless!!
