I currently am not religious, but I love when Wendigoon talks about Christianity. He's so passionate and knowledgeable in it, and delivers that without being preachy, instead it feels like he's just talking to a friend about something he loves. I'm glad we have people and Christians like him exist.
Even as a Christian myself, I agree that I appreciate he isn't super preachy. It helps information get out there to more folk and what have you. Being overly preachy isn't exactly a good thing, imo lol
What I know about Christianity, I learned from Wendigoon. Not even joking. I was always open to learning, but . . .the Bible is a big book to just read, and I knew I would lack a lot of context only reading the book(s). Thankfully Wendigoon makes movies. Also obligatory a lot of bad Christians put me off. Thank you Wendigoon.
@@VAL-TotallyNotHAL Yeah, he seems like he makes the content more digestible, which I appreciate. I'm of the opinion that bad Christians are far worse than atheists (not that I've had issues with atheists at all).
@@VAL-TotallyNotHAL totally the way he talks about it with such a passion and respect if i was taught about the bible in this way as a child i would be a Christian now
Isaiah, You have no idea how much it means to this severely lapsed Christian to hear a frank, honest account of the love of Christ from someone my own age. No dogma. No dog-whistles. No agenda. Just a discussion of a book. God is working in you, man. You’re making a gay, semi-agnostic ex-Catholic want to seriously look at faith again. Thank you.
I will pray for you! And if I may, I encourage you to go through his playlists in his channel. He has more bible breakdowns that are super interesting because of the way he explains things. I will pray that the Holy Spirit may reignite that hunger and thirst for an intimate relationship with Jesus. You can do this! And remember that any problem, physically and mentally, any concern, doubt, and any tribulation, can be overcome through God's help. Just pray that he may help you mature in him. Acknowledge your sins to him, keep in mind, nobody has to hear you confess, because Jesus is with you and he hears you, you only have to confess to him in private and you have to believe that his sacrifice on the cross is more than enough to wash it all away, recognize Jesus as your only Lord and Savior and you will re-establish a relationship with him. I am also working on getting closer to him, and sometimes it's hard because I start to think that my efforts won't change my sinful living, but then the Holy Spirit reminds me that it's not through my strength, but through Jesus' strength that I can beat my sins, resist and flee from my temptations and that one day I will be ready to share the good news with those around me. God bless you! ❤
The universe is incapable of love. Jesus is the supreme example of love. Because Jesus is alive, the Holy Spirit can change you for your intended purpose. Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works for which He has already prepared for us to walk in.”
@shadabonea Be honest man. Something that is not sentient does not love. In no way does it love anything. Things just happen all according to science, no love involved, if that's what you truly believe in, and that's okay. A sentient creator is capable of love.
Fun fact: the "70 times 7" number in the new testament isnt referring to an actual number, its just a nonsensically high number, like how we would say "a Bajillion"
AND that phrase gets used only one other time in the Bible. King Lamech says it in Genesis 4:24 when he's talking about revenge. Jesus is quite literally reversing the poem from Genesis 4. I love the Bible lol
You have literally no idea how amazing it is to have a content creator like Wendigoon making content so perfectly fine tuned to my interests. It’s not often you find a conspiracy and cryptid enthusiast who likes playing horror games and analyzing literature. But having him be a Jesus loving, gospel spreading Christian? That’s almost unheard of in this day and age. I hope that your content reaches far and wide throughout the internet, giving men, women and children a repeated opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel, all the while having fun with a nerdy TH-camr to show them the truth of God’s love.
I’m not gonna lie I’m a Christian teenager and wendigoon is kinda one of my role models rn with all his Biblical knowledge. It’s something that’s very admirable but also achievable too. I wish I could listen to him talk about the Bible more often but yeah
too bad he ran away to heaven after saying that cool line lol. and we haven't heard a single peep out of him ever since. He said a cool line and didn't follow through at all
I love the wide range of emotions I have when finishing a Wendigoon video. Sometimes I’m mad at the government. Sometimes I’m terrified of the unknown. Other times times I feel the light of God.
I was once your son to my mother. Her behavior towards me in those times held me back from a lot of sinful things and when my time came, I was moved by the spirit and was born again. Looking back, I don’t regret being a unbeliever because I can know understand Grace so much more. Be a good example to your son and I hope he will choose God over his flesh when He meets him.
Hey Isaiah (I feel it's better to say this addressing you with your name) I want to thank you for every heart wrenching and emotionally moving videos you have made. From paradise Lost/Regained, Dante, and the many book and movie reviews/in-depth looks, you've done. I have found a person who truly loves what he does, loves God, and loves people. I want to thank you for being this person who changed my view on doing youtube/making videos. I have cried with you and laughed with you, learned and discovered, and enjoyed every single moment listening to you at work or at home. I appreciate everything you've posted. truly you have shown a light bestowed upon you through God and his grace and the love that Christ has imbued in your heart. I hope you continue on strongly and boldly as a Christian who has shown that the heart of Christ can be reflected in the new hearts that God has given us. God bless you, congratulations on your success, blessings to your marriage, and from my own bowels, I love you brother!
I'm not religious, never have been. And I was raised in a house that viewed most religious people as deranged sycophants. But I've grown in my years and found that most people in organized religions are lovely, especially ones like Isaiah who are passionate and can articulate why this facet of their lives means so much to them AND aren't even trying to sell me on it.
I was thinking Hebrews but Philemon is probably more underrated. I had never even heard it preached on until a guest preacher taught on it at my church recently
I would still say Ecclesiastes, but you can't make a particularly positive video about it. Informative, interesting, and poetic, but extremely negative and depressing in contrast to basically every other part of the bible. And ironically that exactly why it's underrated: it's extremely poignant and "real" but nobody wants to talk about it because it's outright misanthropic.
@@hookoffthejab1 Do protestants not go through the whole bible each year? I thought that was something y'all were pretty aggressive about. In the Catholic church we have a Missal which is sections from each book of the bible over the course of a year, with homilies being written by each priest. You're also obviously encouraged to read the bible outside of church though.
@@warbossgegguz679 depends on the church. My church goes through the bible systematically, so right now we're going through soteriology, but some churches will preach through the entire Bible. We'll also go through 2-10 verses at a time so there's no way we'd make it through the entire Bible in a year. We've been in Romans alone for like 6 months lol. In my personal Bible study I'll make it through the bible in about a year tho
I would absolutely love a windigoon Bible study series. You do an outstanding job of making the contents of various stories digestible. Thank you for all that you do.
go check out the weird bible podcast, it's wendi and the guys over at the lore lodge, i'm not religious but I love learning about it and they make everything very digestible and fun to listen to EVEN for a non believer like myself :)
He did a few Sunday specials a few years back and he said he’d like to continue them, there’s also the weird Bible podcast he’s a co host of, not to mention the handful of biblical videos he’s already made
@@sleebeetimei absolutely LOVE the way wendigoon n lore lodge make religious topics into ones that are educational and open-minded to those who aren't religious too. i have endless respect for their content as someone who has had religious trauma and is now atheistic bc of it myself - they make it an open space for discussion without pushing it onto other's, while still staying passionate about their beliefs. it's amazing to see them setting good and respectful examples for young christians. im happy that there's creators like them out there to share their interests/beliefs in the ways they do whilst discussing the history of conspiracies and cryptids, since they're not typically accepted in many religious circles.
he has a channel/podcast doing sermons! i forget what it’s called but i’m sure you can find it! hope that little bit of info helps, God bless! edit: it’s called The Weird Bible Podcast
@@PajamaOperatorGoing to find this right now! My daughter and I really enjoy his videos. My favorite is his breakdown and thorough description of biblical angels. That video was the start of a beautiful journey that my daughter and I are still enjoying today
I’m just arriving at my therapy appointment and I listened to this on the drive over. As someone struggling to forgive their abusers (which is hindering my own healing), I needed to hear this. Thank you. I will try my very best to get to a point where I can have the grace to forgive those who hurt me, and myself for letting them live in my heart and mind and make me a bitter, lonely person. For today, I have hope.
i also think it’s about forgiving the human not the personality, imagine them as they were before the world got to them, it’s so strange yet humbling to think about “bad” people being kids and being more “pure in heart” i can’t see forgiving the actions but forgiving the human being or soul is something else and i’ve struggled to define it as a difference
I recently became a proper Christian, I want to thank you Wendigoon, you're probably one of my main inspirations to why I have became Christian due to your interesting vision and way you handle and include religion in your content, it is very inspiring and I hope that you might continue to help bridge people to god like you did to me.
@@Void_Angel_Machine There's a lot actually, too much to write them all but I'll try to condense my reasoning. First I had the logical phase, I looked at the universe and things around us that weren't made by man, and all I saw were patterns, patterns that seemed to be never ending and as if made by a logical being like me or you. Another reason was probably the existence of Morality and our existence as of whole is almost impossible of a chance, unless we were made by a logical being in his image. Then was the deep dive into Jesus Christ in the bible and understanding that his actions and death for us was a widely documented action and well the people who wrote it died as Martyrs defending his name and actions. Finally I took a look at the bible and found no flawed logic that other religious texts had. Then came the believing, this is the most hardest part to explain without going into very long tirades but the things I lived through and experienced cannot be explained with anything but God being real alongside Jesus Christ. And I guess to wrap it up just the pure fundamental logic of if Jesus is real then I'd rather believe and be in Heaven than not believe and be in hell and if he isn't real then I spent my life living as a moral and a good human being, either way it's a win win for me. As for you no longer wanting to be a Christian, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll pray that you'll find Jesus and God again someday because they love you, and so do we all because no matter what. You're made in God's image and if God loves you any good Christian will love you the same way.
Onesimus, as a servant, was also very likely illiterate and not privy to the content of Paul's letters until Philemon read them, marched Onesimus out on Sunday, and read it aloud for the whole church to hear. It's not hard to imagine him trembling for weeping as he realized what was happening.
It's possible. Literacy certainly wasn't universal at the time, but it was valued, and there were definitely slaves (as well as servants, which is a bit of a difference) who could read and write.
@@Rynewulf imagine not being able to read and you deliver a letter to a guy who likely bears a grudge against you, then that person reads it out loud to an entire audience with you being asked to attend. I'd be shitting bricks dog.
I literally cheered when you said "a book one friend wrote to anothe on behalf of a servant." I LOVE Philemon! My men's group went over it in detail a few years back and it was a blessing. Unfortunately I only got into the intro just now and I gotta get back to homework but I cannot wait to listen to the rest!
My men's group is also planning on going over Philemon next week but we are really focused right now on being mad at women for not letting us game all day.
Fun fact about Philemon and Onesimus. 50 years after Philemon was written, Ignatius of Antioch wrote a letter to the church in Ephesus, and mentions that the Bishop of Ephesus was actually Onesimus. It seems that the former servant, after receiving that Christ-like grace and love from both Paul and Philemon, proceeded to lead and teach a congregation to follow suit in Christ's grace and love. I can't help but think that the reason Philemon is in the Bible is because Onesimus kept it by his side all those years, reminiscing about how the grace and forgiveness embodied by that letter is what brought him to where he was now. Thank you for doing a video on this book. I must admit I pay it less mind than it deserves. Edit: Thank you Wendigoon, very cool Edit edit: Turns out editing comments removes likes from the video creator :(
@@IxJK_ Oh I don't read the Bible recreationally, I read it competitively. And yeah, believe it or not, despite outward appearances my channel is actually dedicated to theology and the Bible.
Another fun fact, there were cases of slaves/servants being ministers at the same Church, where their master would be just a regular Church members. Which is why even as early as 2nd century we can see Christian commentators speaking up against slavery as an institution. If you have to treat your slaves as brothers, than slavery stops making sense altogether. And Paul's letters, especially to Philemon, certainly helped that. Paul's idea wasn't being political reformist, changing society from top to down, he wanted people at the bottom change, so the whole society would see the absurdity of slavery. How can you put a price on someone, who God died for? How can you measure image and the likeness of God with money?
Love your Bible content Isaiah. As a fellow Christian it makes me so happy to see a good representation and discussion of our faith online. Keep up the good work and may God bless you.
I can’t get enough of videos like this. As a born and raised Christian who’s fallen out of the faith due to too much when I was too little, it’s so refreshing to just hear the really great stories the Bible has to offer and now that I’m an adult, the Christian faith intrigues me again. Not for the faith itself but for the teachings and stories within it, there’s so much to take away from them. Thank you Isaiah.
I disassociated from my church as I no longer aligned with their methods of teaching. I believe in loving other and forgiveness and that we are all imperfect beings who have been blessed to have this life. Love thy neighbor christianity is what I believe in and it hurts me to see people tarnish its reputation by using it to justify hate
@@joshlawrence8091your problem lies with heretics not the fans, I’m using a comparison but not a full one, Shall we blame Pewdiepie for that one guy who ended peoples lives and then said “subscribe to pewdiepie”
Ah yes another lukewarm pseudo-Christian that wants to steal the word of God for his own. Another Prometheus type. Why are you all thieves? There is no rationalizing or extracting the word of God without giving yourself to Christ and God. Your spirituality is meaningless, your hubris is humbled before God. “So I will spit you out of my mouth, because you are only warm and not hot or cold” Revelation 3:16
Compelled to thank you for standing up for and presenting the Word in a real and passionate way. Not just preaching at people but showing what the lessons contained within mean and how they look in execution. You are an inspiration to myself and a lot of other believers, I'm sure. Makes my heart so happy to see you strong in the faith even amongst such success and likely pressures from other personalities and influencers. God bless you, brother!
I'm not at all religious, but have always been interested in learning about Christianity as it just fascinates me. The way you speak candidly about the Bible and the teachings without preaching or forcing your beliefs on the viewer is such a huge relief. It makes it so much easier to learn without losing interest. Please keep making this type of content!
If you are worried about how the material is presented but want to learn more get a good study Bible, concordance, maybe a parallel bible and just read yourself. Nothing in the Bible is secret but everything in it is inspired. Only good stuff can come from reading it. Even if you don't believe like I do you at least will understand people like me and gain a rich understanding of ancient Judaism and first century Roman life.
very much agreed. when i watch these types of videos it's either someone not Christian completely shitting on the belief or someone who is a fervent Christian and wants you to convert at all costs. Wendigoon makes learning this super enjoyable and isn't forcing his belief on you
Saying "one true god" is to me, preaching and forcing beliefs as it's saying that everyone out here that isn't Christian is fake. And considering lots of gods were made into demons, it's even more gross.
I'm atheist, but I absolutely adore your videos on the bible and Christianity as a whole. You're so passionate and you're not pushing it on anyone, and so I listen, and I learn. You're a great man, you've been the source of many school nights spent staying up, learning about murder spirals, or serial killers, or, like this one, Christianity. Thank you, Wendigoon
I wouldn’t go as far to say he isn’t pushing it because he is he even said on his second channel that his religion is the most important and he try’s to push it whenever possible he said that’s why he stoped doing Bible videos because it wasn’t a good way to get people to convert to his religion but yeah he doesn’t shove it down your throat like most others do
He’s not pushing it he’s witnessing properly through his thoughts words and deeds…not judging and holding you to some standard like so many churches try
He's not pushing. He's sharing. And he does so in such a good way that we are here listening, willingly. I'm not a believer myself, but I'm always here because I really enjoy learning it because of the way he share the tales.
I'm not religious in the slightest, but my guy, i love listening to the passion you put in these videos. Real, genuine Christian belief is always a treat.
Its videos like this that remind me why people find comfort in Christ and in the bible. I'm not a part of the faith anymore, but this makes me nostalgic for when I was.
@@oliversmith8532 I've recently received Jesus and can honestly say I hope and pray you may find your faith again soon, His grace is something I wish everyone could feel! Have a blessed day☝️🤍♾️
@@nightswithd Dude, c'mon... I'm a Christian, too, but look at what he said "Real, genuine Christian belief is always a treat." Try opening your arms instead of keeping them crossed. Love, don't berate. I'm sure you already know this.
Love to see you covering more Biblical stuff on the main channel again! Came for the horror breakdown content, stayed for watching a Brother in Christ rant about the same weird urban legends, cosmic horror, and cryptids I love to disturb my friends by going into too much detail on!
i am jewish, but seeing isaiah tear up every video where he talks about his faith just makes me want to cry with him, its so beautiful to see someone so filled with love for his faith and humanity
I’m Jewish and found Christ who tried to tell our people generations ago. I won’t force you but please in the name of our people find your way to Christ.
@@deitchj003As an observant jew I am sorry to hear that my brother I pray that you repent and return to your people I highly recommend rabbi tovia singer
If your intrested in getting into religion I highly recommend rabbi tovia singer as he helps to explain why as jews we believe what we believe and reject the Christian doctrine
Little known fact, Saul wasn't renamed Paul due to his conversion. This is a massive and super common misconception. In fact, he only was first called Paul 4 chapters after his conversion (Chapter 13). It is more likely that it was because the name Saul in Greek, Saulos, was also slang term relating to prostitution, and he changed it when going to Hellenistic cities (Those that spoke Greek and had Greek culture) to avoid embarrassment. If you look at the text, the only text regarding the name change is just a random side note that says "Saul, who was also called Paul".
Plus, (little detail) Luke writes "Barnabas and Saul" in Jewish areas and switches to "Paul and Barnabas " in Gentile scenarios to mark who's the leader, or more prominent in the situation.
i’m agnostic and not religious in the slightest, but i really love your bible videos. i’ve gone to sleep to your lost stories of the bible video multiple times lol. i find them fascinating and appreciate you sharing
I was raised as a christian by my stepgrandma until I was 14. I attended the church EVERY saturday night, and also every monday. Even though the people my grandma knew were kind to me, I always doubted part of what they preached at the time because they tried to passively force those ideas unto me without a good amount of explanation besides reading many parts of the Bible. Now, 10 years later, this is the first time I watched some form of Bible-related content and actually want to listen, read and get to learn about more of it. Thank you Wendigoon, not only for your relaxed and casual explanation, but for your passion in what you are trying to show us. Maybe this is the spark that will make me defend the Bibles's teachings in the future. Please, make more content like this, I really think the world needs more of this
This made me smile. I don't watch all of his videos, but this one caught my eye, as did your comment. This young man has probably led more people to Christ than many "real" preachers. I'm just some random old dude on the internet, but I'm glad he has sparked something inside you. Keep your eyes open for someone who can help you stoke this spark into a fire that will be with you always. I wouldn't be surprised if that person was already in your life.
I appreciate how you make it casual and relatable. I am not a Christian myself but I do love to listen to your Bible interpretations and explanations because it feels more like a conversation about a topic rather than I'm getting a school lecture. I definitely want to see more of these videos so I learn more. Thank you for sharing this video. (Even if it is late. lol)
@@astyros1061 Your comment encourages me, as a Sunday school teacher. I've had kids these last few years that are pretty pretty wild. I mean that in the most affectionate way lol. There's no way I can get them to sit for long and do a traditional class, without really being on them. I don't want them to feel like they're in school and half to be there. I'd rather they want to be there. So I have to have little conversations. I have to get their attention quick and engage with them. So a lot of times, I'm just like, "Hey do you know what this story, where this or that happened?" Or, "What do you think this means?" They spend most of the time playing, and goofing around. Thanks for reminding me, sometimes the informal can be have a better impact.
Wendigoon actually got me interested in the Bible again, he was one of the many pushes I got to get where I am now. Got baptized again and saved not too long ago. Love you Wendi 🥳
Wendigoon is really making me reevaluate how I feel about Christianity. Since watching his Bible videos I’ve started looking into Christianity and want to attend a service.
I second taking a denomination test, you'll be surprised by what you'll find! Another suggestion is joining a small bible study of around 3 to 5 people. I started doing it with my in-laws and it's what really gave me the excitement to dive deeper into my faith!
Honestly as an agnostic i always love hearing Christians like you talk about the bible. its such a breath of fresh air to be able to hear and learn about it without someone trying to convert me or shame me lol. thanks wendigoon!
@billygray7807 dude your so chill! please don't feel the need to apologize or feel guilty for other Christians. I know a lot and you guys are really chill!
Your emphasis on forgiveness was spot on Wendigoon. I haven't spoken to my brother in over 5 years because I haven't forgiven him...I'm not saying that this video has completely changed my mind about him, but it certainly feels like God was speaking through you to me by saying that forgiveness is something to work towards, but as long as you try, you just might succeed. Thank you for posting this, friend. May God bless you and your family ✝️ EDIT: The response to this was surprising yet very touching. I appreciate everyone's words of wisdom...more than you all realize. Thank you all, and may Christ be forever with you and your hearts. 🥹
The value of forgiveness depends on what the other person did. I’m going to assume that your brother didn’t do something, like, kill someone or something.
It is a long story, but my sister didn't speak to me for a year because of my addiction. She forgave me. I'm about to have three years clean and I have a beautiful daughter, an amazing wife and couldn't be more grateful for life. I don't think I'd be here without my sisters forgiveness. Please consider just reaching out and saying hi to your brother. You never know what something that seems so little, could end up being. God bless
Not sure what caused the rift....if you have family, you are blessed beyond measure. I have no one.....that wasn't by choice, it just worked out that way....So, please reach out and do what you can.......
Do you read the Bible? God uses it to speak to us. I cant press the importance enough. its odd how often he word corresponds with my life. You really have to. If youre not, which you might be. but anyone if youre not reading it please try to everyday. it is his word.
@@bababababababa6124 it depends, there are some bad churches out there for sure but there are also some great ones. Once you find a great community that is centered around CHRIST it can be extremely beneficial to your life and to the lives of others
I think videos like this are excellent and I'm happy to hear more of them. What I watch you for is how genuinely interested and passionate you are about everything you discuss wether it's the creepy stuff or christianity. Never lose that honesty, because good god it is rare online. I was raised christian and although I may not be today, you've done more to bring me back to it than anything else i've seen.
Wendi, your content is a massive inspiration to me. Not just your silly videos about cryptids and horror but also videos like these. I’ve been struggling with severe anxiety and a lack of faith in God for a long time but this video really comforted me and possibly rekindled my faith in Christianity. Hearing someone talk about the Bible with so much love and compassion instead of unnecessary fear mongering and ignorance is such a fresh breath of air to see. I seriously hope you consider doing more videos like this in the future, they’re very comforting and fun to watch.
You always make my cry when you talk about true Christianity. This specific chapter about forgiveness just made my heart ache, because I know I'm drowned in hatred but in Christ I can find peace, and when you talked about how could we hold grudges when our biggest sin was forgiven, it just made me cry. Thank you for talking about this, you don't know how much good you're dowing in the world. You better do this with the whole Bible
Always loved when he made Bible content I get why he stopped but still, as a Christian it’s great to see some of the Word reaching more people and Wendigoon doesn’t do it in a pushy way either
Philemon is one of my favorite books. My guy. You speak my love language. I love all of your content. I’ve seen thumbnails of some of your other videos that I don’t have time for, but when I get time to watch them, I fall in love with a topic I never knew about, and I kick myself for not watching it sooner. When I see you post a video on scripture, I fall in love all over again with something I’ve always known. I’ve watched a lot of TH-camrs throughout the years, but you have very quickly become one of my very favorites. God bless you for your content. We will probably never meet each other in this world. Though death does sometimes scare me, I can’t wait for that eternity where once I’m done meeting all the saints and loved ones, it’s going to be totally rad to meet you and talk about all the weird stuff we have to discover about the new heavens and the new earth.
I'm not religious but this was really nice to read. I grew up Catholic and am now married to a Hindu man but I love learning about religion in general and I love Wendigoons videos. Definitely check out the icebergs and his other weird assortment of videos, they're all great. Have you watched the Mystery Flesh Pit National Parks video yet? That's one of my favs for sure
@@shannawelch9631 I think Wendigoon has maybe two videos I haven’t finished yet. One being his most recent one, and I don’t know what the other one was.
@@shannawelch9631 I have seen that one. It’s really good. If you like the religious stuff, watch his video on the Japanese death alchemy. My favorite of his videos is a personal thing but his videos on the book Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained hit different than the others for me. His wako video and his political compass video are also very good.
I always look forward to your Biblically-themed videos because it reaffirms the shared sense of wonder I feel thinking about the people and circumstances in their lives surrounding these letters and books as a source of hope and solace for many people who resonated with these words throughout different eras and circumstances in their own lives. Especially Saint Paul. The smile on my face grew remembering snippets of your sharing a bit of the ways the early churches kept that alive in their own ways on The Lost Books of the Bible video, from one beloved friend to the next. Coolest traveling letter writer ever. No wonder several of my favorite silly ahh saints and their stories at similarly moments one could imagine in their own lives across history were inspired by his example and this very short yet intimately personal one that was shared all this time illustrates why. This short video was a nice one to check out after even the drastically different Easter release delay lol. The wonderful duality of this channel. 🤣 Thank you, Wendigoon!
wendigoon I am an atheist but i admire how you’re able to cover these biblical topics so elegantly, you always keep me interested and coming back and I have great admiration for you as a person. keep up the great work
i did get re-baptized last week and Wendi has helped me understand a lot of stuff about the Bible, so keep it up Wendi! also BIBLE VIDEO YIPPEE WAHOO LETS GOOO
I KNEW YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT PHILEMON. I agree it is extremely underrated, to the point you never get to study it in church. In my case, I had to to the work by myself. It's such a great, short letter, yet it teaches so much. So thank you for this video! It'll probably make a lot of people go an read it themselves.
Fellow Christian here, absolutely love these videos :) I think this kind of content is definitely the way to go when it comes to sharing the gospel on your channel, it’s informative and engaging, and even a ton of non Christians here say how much they love it, which is amazing to me to see, especially with how Christians tend to be viewed on most platforms. Keep it up brother, you are well loved, and that with how successful this channel are 100% spiritual gifts from God!
It’s really humbling seeing someone else with such a positive connection with Christianity. I am Christian but I lose my way many times and Wendi’s Bible videos really help put it all into perspective
@@ianbuchan8548 i did for a time but i didnt want to be in the congregation from where i was and studying the god stuff wasnt for me. Doesnt mean i dont like the bible or anything cuz i love alot of the bible stories
I've been going through a rough time as of late and I've noticed my faith has slipped a lot over the past few years. Watching through these vids, I've remembered the immense amount of comfort my faith provided me. It'll be a long road, but thanks for reminded me of what's important, Gooner
This guy single-handedly renewed my faith in Christ. I don’t know how but watching his videos just reawakened something in me. I thank God everyday for his videos.
Hw has a whole bunch of bible videos bro! For a little while, he even did like bible studies and breakdowns of different books/chapters. I love the content he puts out overall with all the cryptids and stuff, but THESE videos are the ones that are truly useful. I encourage you to give them a watch if you haven't already so that that you keep on feeding that hunger for Jesus. I will pray for you bro, I too, am in a journey of reconciliation with our Lord Jesus.
Please do more Bible content. The world needs it these days. It makes me so happy to see how many other young people you have helped begin or find their way back towards the light of Christ 🙏🏼 God bless
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Wendigoon, PLEASE do more biblical content. We can all tell that it fascinates you as much as it encapsulates us to see it. Even if it ends up on another channel or something, it'd be great to see more biblical stuff from you!
Is worth to note that from all the books from Paul, this one is the only one where he speaks primarily about a private issue, that is the conflict between two people he cared about. The fact that he wrote the letter by his own hand which was something that he rarely do, just shows how much personal this letter was for him.
As someone who chose to become Christian at 12 and stopped years later, this reminded me of why I was so passionate about Jesus and now I feel like going to church 😭
Just remember that all you need to believe to be saved is that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected and because of that your past, present and future sins are forgiven.
@@TheGovernmentputcrackinmybluntunless you’re Catholic, in which case then you would have to do good acts too because they say “not by faith alone are souls saved” or something along those lines. (It can be stuff like feeding the homeless, helping old people carry groceries or cross the road, building a church or volunteering at a church, and generally living in a way as close as you can to how Jesus did, plus reading the Bible regularly.) I may be mistaken but I’m pretty sure that’s where a lot of the volunteers for those “build a well in Africa” non profits got their volunteers from.
I've had a long history of going back and forth with religion, your the only person who has made me see it in a different light. The way you speak about God is so passionate and kind... it feels nice to not get so caught up in the conflict of religion and just hear about it from someone who truly loves it.
Wow! I don't want to cry on my keyboard, but this video hit hard. I watch your other videos and they are always fantastic, but these last few on the Bible have been so impactful and contain lesson that I think Christians need to be reminded of now more than ever. Thank you for allowing yourself to be used by the Lord. You have blessed this heart all the way down in Texas. 🤠 Praying for you and your family/team, and Lord willing, to see more content about books of the Bible that aren't talk about as much.
Most of it is shittalking everything for being vanity, but it ends pretty beautifully with chapter 11, pointing out that while it's easy to succumb to the depressing thoughts in the rest of the book, there's still beauty. 11:9-10 - "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou that for all these things God will bring thee into judgement. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity", using the same language that people disregard as "too depressing" from earlier in the book to emphasise a whole different point continued in the 12th and final chapter. It's a fantastic book that definitely also deserves better than just being "the cold one".
Me too ! It's horrible that chrustuanity Is Always show with its worst elements in media while there are so many examples of solidarity and love in our book .__.
Dude, I just found this video this morning. Wendigoon, I'm going to watch all of these that you have. I have never, in 61 years of life, heard the Gospel put in such a way that I can really understand it. I love this, and please continue these, so people such as I might further understand the Bible and Jesus.
For one reason or another, this felt like a classic Wendigoon video, which was surprisingly fun and relaxing for me. I love the stuff he puts out nowadays too, but there's just something about revisiting his humble beginnings that gets to me. Either because of the topic on Christianity, the shorter video length, or the fact I was equally surprised by there being no sponsor and we got straight into the video right away. But again, whatever the reason, I liked the vibe. This was nice. Also, as a fellow Christian, this was a necessary reminder for me to step my game up when showing love and kindness to others. Thanks, Wendi. Always appreciate you, dude.
When I first subscribed to this channel a few weeks back, I didn’t expect “Bible Studies with Wendigoon”. But boy am I glad that’s what I’m getting. Keep up the good work, man.
Hey man, I just want to say thank you for your content. I remember watching your Sunday studies last year and missing the church. A few months later(and alot of character development) not only did I found a good church to visit but I became a member and am now baptized.
I’d love for you to cover more general bible content such as going over all the individual books, perhaps maybe a second channel, I find your way of describing and explaining so much more engaging. Keep it up brother 🙏
hi isaiah, I was raised catholic and have struggled with my faith and religion for a long time. i had my doubts in god since i was 5 and i officially stopped believing when i was 12. this was mostly due to generational trauma (and how deeply it was tied to religion). i use to be angry about religion, but now i wish i could believe. i find it so hard to place my faith in something that there is no tangible, solid, 100% proof of existing. and yet i know that is a very big part of faith. i have tried to join christian church groups, but find myself turned off by their agendas and evangelical practices. i know that does not represent every group however. i feel the way you approach religion and the discussion of the bible is without judgement, without a clear bias you’re trying to push. you speak of it out of love-it’s something that is really refreshing to hear, especially for a person who wants to embrace religion despite their own skepticism. i would definitely listen to a podcast of yours that went through the bible and just discussed aspects of christianity thank you, and much love
I just wished to ask, and I don't mean to be pushy or preachy or anything, but if you received some evidence for the existence of God or the truth of Christianity, would you be willing to reconsider Christianity? I ask this because I was in a very similar situation to what you are describing and years ago I was presented with some of the evidence for Christianity and it changed my outlook on life. I ask this out of love because like I said, I understand and sympathize with your skepticism.
I sympathize with you and pray for you brotha. Hope your life improves. If it's any consolation I really believe in god and many if not all Christian beliefs, but yikes do I feel out of place at church and small group. It's hard to relate to the average surface-level christian. Don't force yourself to go to something unless it's your decision man, dad got me into small group and I'm pretty much doomed to stay in it until I move away lol, in this specific case they're definitely not my people but I'm trying to learn to make something positive out of it and maybe understand their perspectives more, or something -.- may peace be with you and the lord aid you and guide you.
@@eccentricjoe8786 my dad was begging me to join a men’s group (bible study) before he got killed on his Harley. The men in his group were very much like him (loved motorcycles and such) I couldn’t join his group as I live on the other side of the country. I wanted to join a group as a way to honor him and found a group from my local church of 10 or less men. All different backgrounds but I get so much out of it. For context I just recently rediscovered my faith after being agnostic for 20 years. Getting into a bible study and making new friends is a must. My dad wanted me to see it and I finally did thank’s to him. Just wish he was here to see it.
I’d recommend checking out the book “Cold Case Christianity”. Its a good introduction to the evidence for the gospel accounts in the new testament and it helped me a lot as a new Christian. Praying for you ❤ God bless you
My priest just recently talked about the Book of Philemon and ended up being our topic of discussion on Wednesday night at the beginning of Great Lent. It is a great example of love and compassion for others that we should follow. Peace be with you all!☦️
This was an amazing video- I love learning about religion in a historical context, but to hear the Bible translated in a way that makes sense more than i’ve ever heard was such a treat. Not only that, but it really hit home for stuff going on in my life right now, and I’ll be thinking about these teachings a lot going forward. Thank you so much for this video.
I loved to see a reawakening of an improved Sunday Studies (intended to be) for easter. Wendigoon went so much deeper into the meaning, and sophisticated implications on the verses of the bible in this one. Not to mention, adding a call to action changed EVERYTHING about the “taste in my mouth” at the end. I’d love to see a video like this again.
I'm actually so grateful to have you on the internet. I'm a Christian but I often forget to read the bible and connect with the gospel. It gets lost in the abyss of social media. But when I saw this video I opened my Bible for the first time in weeks. So thank you so much. Keep doing what you're doing.❤
Your Bible videos will always be speacial to me. Two years ago I've started falling out of my faith but still was intrested in Bible stories and that's how I found your channel. The way you talked about it reminded me why I wanna be a Christian and it only strengthen me. Ever since then I love doing research on my own about it. Thank you so much Wendi
Tomorrow I’m going to be covering my churches Wednesday night Bible study, so this video actually inspired me to go over Philemon! I think it’ll be a good study for everyone
I'm not a Christian, but listening to Isaiah talk about his religion is very inspiring. I'm glad you're so passionate about it without being condescending about it. Great video as always. Keep up the good work!
Just be careful if you do join Christ about which church you go too. Some are far too conservative and some are far too liberal. (In terms of how they apply the Bible, not political standing.)
@@excaliburknives3572 Don't even have to follow a church at all, it's so far corrupted by "tradition" at this point it's nigh impossible to find one that gets it right. Better to read scripture and find where you personally stand.
you really got something here, my friend. your genuineness in your beliefs and life has lead you into a beautiful space where you are able to help many while doing what ya love. congratulations, your a great fresh breath of air for many, including myself!
I would love love love if you talked about the book of Job. I love the idea of this man’s life suffering for something he doesn’t fully understand until his death. I relate to it a lot. I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH I need more! Thanks Wendi!
YES!!! Even as a teenage girl with too many emotions to handle, thinking my life was just ohhhh so hard… 😂 Job was that book I always read whenever I need a swift kick in the arse. It tends to help you realize just how good you’ve really got it. I would LOVE to watch a video on the book of Job!
Just remember that all you need to believe to be saved is that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected and because of that your past, present and future sins are forgiven.
The Spirit is calling you! I would recommend the KJV Audio Bible (Dramatized meaning it plays sword sounds during battles and gives each person in the book a unique voice to help you delineate between them)! God Bless and I second this entirely.
If you ever want to get back into active participation in the Church, I encourage you to research what the different denominations have in common and what they disagree on. I recommend the channel Redeemed Zoomer. He’s a Presbyterian but you don't have to be one you get some good info from him about the denominational differences. Edit: I’m making this reply as a reaction to that worthy individual above me who is encouraging you to attend an Orthodox Church. That may be where you are called to be in the end, but I still encourage you to look at the others.
I say delve into the Word on your own. I highly recommend starting with John as one of the Gospels but idk what you should read after that, but Romans is an amazing book. But don’t forget the Old Testament
These uploads have my sense of time shattered. I thought it must have been weeks since the Uzumaki video, seeing the 8 days ago sent me into a spiral. Keep up the great work, looking forward to enjoying this one too!
Been having a rough day (which is most days), so this video is very much appreciated. Thank you for all of the encouragement you've unknowingly given me, Isaiah. God bless, and have a wonderful day.
I literally wrote an essay about this book for a final in one of my Bible classes, you have no idea how happy this makes me! Thank you for shedding light on this beautiful message, there’s a lot of other scripture that is connected with Philemon too!
i'm an ex-christian who grew up going to church twice a week with conviction, and although i now have a lot of beef with many aspects of organized religion, i found this video nostalgic in the absolute best way possible-- this video and the story you tell in it are the perfect exemplars of christianity when it gets something right. it took me right back to being in sunday school and hearing a parable or story from the bible and having a lightbulb go off when i realized what the moral of the story was and being moved by how it was expressed. there's a certain, very special kind of beauty to these lessons and i think you really delivered on showing that in this video, (and did so in a way that i feel is receivable to christians and non christians alike, which is no small feat) thanks so much for this
I love when Isaiah talks about Christianity. Makes me as a Christian, so happy to finally have some good representation that isn’t awful.
I'm not religious but I think its honestly just interesting from a storytelling perspective.
yeah makes is easier to forget all pedos in this religion. yaaaaaaaaaaaay
Isaiah’s video about Purgatorio helped me convert
@@hopelessromantic3786Same! And I love the way he approaches it. Like OP said, he’s not an ass.
@@hopelessromantic3786 It's more than story telling. It's historically and archeology accurate
we need a "Books of the Bible” tier list video
Nice okay
Will Numbers or Leviticus score lowest?
Theres alot in the Old Testament that would rank very low
Ranking the word of god is heresy
Dude that's such a good idea, Isaiah if your reading this, please do that. Maybe it can be a second channel video like ranking your own vids.
I currently am not religious, but I love when Wendigoon talks about Christianity. He's so passionate and knowledgeable in it, and delivers that without being preachy, instead it feels like he's just talking to a friend about something he loves. I'm glad we have people and Christians like him exist.
Even as a Christian myself, I agree that I appreciate he isn't super preachy. It helps information get out there to more folk and what have you. Being overly preachy isn't exactly a good thing, imo lol
What I know about Christianity, I learned from Wendigoon. Not even joking. I was always open to learning, but . . .the Bible is a big book to just read, and I knew I would lack a lot of context only reading the book(s). Thankfully Wendigoon makes movies. Also obligatory a lot of bad Christians put me off.
Thank you Wendigoon.
@@VAL-TotallyNotHAL Yeah, he seems like he makes the content more digestible, which I appreciate. I'm of the opinion that bad Christians are far worse than atheists (not that I've had issues with atheists at all).
@@VAL-TotallyNotHAL totally the way he talks about it with such a passion and respect if i was taught about the bible in this way as a child i would be a Christian now
@@themojogamer75disagree. Atheists have no values or morals - it changes with the wind. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Isaiah,
You have no idea how much it means to this severely lapsed Christian to hear a frank, honest account of the love of Christ from someone my own age.
No dogma. No dog-whistles. No agenda.
Just a discussion of a book.
God is working in you, man. You’re making a gay, semi-agnostic ex-Catholic want to seriously look at faith again.
Thank you.
I will pray for you! And if I may, I encourage you to go through his playlists in his channel. He has more bible breakdowns that are super interesting because of the way he explains things. I will pray that the Holy Spirit may reignite that hunger and thirst for an intimate relationship with Jesus. You can do this! And remember that any problem, physically and mentally, any concern, doubt, and any tribulation, can be overcome through God's help. Just pray that he may help you mature in him. Acknowledge your sins to him, keep in mind, nobody has to hear you confess, because Jesus is with you and he hears you, you only have to confess to him in private and you have to believe that his sacrifice on the cross is more than enough to wash it all away, recognize Jesus as your only Lord and Savior and you will re-establish a relationship with him. I am also working on getting closer to him, and sometimes it's hard because I start to think that my efforts won't change my sinful living, but then the Holy Spirit reminds me that it's not through my strength, but through Jesus' strength that I can beat my sins, resist and flee from my temptations and that one day I will be ready to share the good news with those around me. God bless you! ❤
Just wanted to say the Universe loves you Emily, truly 👍💜
The universe is incapable of love. Jesus is the supreme example of love. Because Jesus is alive, the Holy Spirit can change you for your intended purpose. Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works for which He has already prepared for us to walk in.”
@shadabonea Be honest man. Something that is not sentient does not love. In no way does it love anything. Things just happen all according to science, no love involved, if that's what you truly believe in, and that's okay. A sentient creator is capable of love.

Fun fact: the "70 times 7" number in the new testament isnt referring to an actual number, its just a nonsensically high number, like how we would say "a Bajillion"

@@justchilling704 it’s incredible how intertwined it all is. The only answer is divine inspiration.
You have literally no idea how amazing it is to have a content creator like Wendigoon making content so perfectly fine tuned to my interests. It’s not often you find a conspiracy and cryptid enthusiast who likes playing horror games and analyzing literature. But having him be a Jesus loving, gospel spreading Christian? That’s almost unheard of in this day and age. I hope that your content reaches far and wide throughout the internet, giving men, women and children a repeated opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel, all the while having fun with a nerdy TH-camr to show them the truth of God’s love.
I’m not gonna lie I’m a Christian teenager and wendigoon is kinda one of my role models rn with all his Biblical knowledge. It’s something that’s very admirable but also achievable too. I wish I could listen to him talk about the Bible more often but yeah
For real. He fits so many of my niches and interests that it almost feels like fate
Yah he fire

Being resurrected and saying the job ain’t done is probably the most badass shit to do ngl.

yeah goes pretty hard
too bad he ran away to heaven after saying that cool line lol. and we haven't heard a single peep out of him ever since. He said a cool line and didn't follow through at all
"God said I had to finish my chores first"
Paul goes hard as a servant. He literally just wants to die eventually but he basically is just like "well the work's not done."
I love the wide range of emotions I have when finishing a Wendigoon video. Sometimes I’m mad at the government. Sometimes I’m terrified of the unknown. Other times times I feel the light of God.
Pretty sure that's just the sun casting light. It's up in the sky and pretty hard to miss

Hey Isaiah (I feel it's better to say this addressing you with your name) I want to thank you for every heart wrenching and emotionally moving videos you have made. From paradise Lost/Regained, Dante, and the many book and movie reviews/in-depth looks, you've done. I have found a person who truly loves what he does, loves God, and loves people. I want to thank you for being this person who changed my view on doing youtube/making videos. I have cried with you and laughed with you, learned and discovered, and enjoyed every single moment listening to you at work or at home. I appreciate everything you've posted. truly you have shown a light bestowed upon you through God and his grace and the love that Christ has imbued in your heart. I hope you continue on strongly and boldly as a Christian who has shown that the heart of Christ can be reflected in the new hearts that God has given us. God bless you, congratulations on your success, blessings to your marriage, and from my own bowels, I love you brother!
i love this community.
Same. This channel helped me rekindle my faith.
I'm not religious, never have been. And I was raised in a house that viewed most religious people as deranged sycophants. But I've grown in my years and found that most people in organized religions are lovely, especially ones like Isaiah who are passionate and can articulate why this facet of their lives means so much to them AND aren't even trying to sell me on it.

I was thinking Hebrews but Philemon is probably more underrated. I had never even heard it preached on until a guest preacher taught on it at my church recently
@@hookoffthejab1 is hebrews overlooked?
I would still say Ecclesiastes, but you can't make a particularly positive video about it. Informative, interesting, and poetic, but extremely negative and depressing in contrast to basically every other part of the bible.
And ironically that exactly why it's underrated: it's extremely poignant and "real" but nobody wants to talk about it because it's outright misanthropic.
@@hookoffthejab1 Do protestants not go through the whole bible each year? I thought that was something y'all were pretty aggressive about.
In the Catholic church we have a Missal which is sections from each book of the bible over the course of a year, with homilies being written by each priest. You're also obviously encouraged to read the bible outside of church though.
@@warbossgegguz679 depends on the church. My church goes through the bible systematically, so right now we're going through soteriology, but some churches will preach through the entire Bible. We'll also go through 2-10 verses at a time so there's no way we'd make it through the entire Bible in a year. We've been in Romans alone for like 6 months lol. In my personal Bible study I'll make it through the bible in about a year tho
I would absolutely love a windigoon Bible study series. You do an outstanding job of making the contents of various stories digestible. Thank you for all that you do.

@@sleebeetimei absolutely LOVE the way wendigoon n lore lodge make religious topics into ones that are educational and open-minded to those who aren't religious too. i have endless respect for their content as someone who has had religious trauma and is now atheistic bc of it myself - they make it an open space for discussion without pushing it onto other's, while still staying passionate about their beliefs. it's amazing to see them setting good and respectful examples for young christians. im happy that there's creators like them out there to share their interests/beliefs in the ways they do whilst discussing the history of conspiracies and cryptids, since they're not typically accepted in many religious circles.
I would literally pay to have you preach a sermon every Sunday. That was excellent 11/10
he has a channel/podcast doing sermons! i forget what it’s called but i’m sure you can find it! hope that little bit of info helps, God bless!

I’m just arriving at my therapy appointment and I listened to this on the drive over. As someone struggling to forgive their abusers (which is hindering my own healing), I needed to hear this. Thank you. I will try my very best to get to a point where I can have the grace to forgive those who hurt me, and myself for letting them live in my heart and mind and make me a bitter, lonely person.
For today, I have hope.
I’m praying for you❤️ You’ve got this, and are so much more powerful than you may think yourself to be!
Remember that forgiveness is for you and your inner peace. Not to dissolve them of their guilt.
God keep and bless you.
May you find peace and love in your journey 🙏🏻
i also think it’s about forgiving the human not the personality, imagine them as they were before the world got to them, it’s so strange yet humbling to think about “bad” people being kids and being more “pure in heart” i can’t see forgiving the actions but forgiving the human being or soul is something else and i’ve struggled to define it as a difference
I recently became a proper Christian, I want to thank you Wendigoon, you're probably one of my main inspirations to why I have became Christian due to your interesting vision and way you handle and include religion in your content, it is very inspiring and I hope that you might continue to help bridge people to god like you did to me.
Proud of you bro. Foster your relationship with God to the best of your abilities
I recently recognized I no longer wanted to be a christian. What is your thought process for converting?
@@Void_Angel_Machine There's a lot actually, too much to write them all but I'll try to condense my reasoning. First I had the logical phase, I looked at the universe and things around us that weren't made by man, and all I saw were patterns, patterns that seemed to be never ending and as if made by a logical being like me or you. Another reason was probably the existence of Morality and our existence as of whole is almost impossible of a chance, unless we were made by a logical being in his image. Then was the deep dive into Jesus Christ in the bible and understanding that his actions and death for us was a widely documented action and well the people who wrote it died as Martyrs defending his name and actions. Finally I took a look at the bible and found no flawed logic that other religious texts had. Then came the believing, this is the most hardest part to explain without going into very long tirades but the things I lived through and experienced cannot be explained with anything but God being real alongside Jesus Christ. And I guess to wrap it up just the pure fundamental logic of if Jesus is real then I'd rather believe and be in Heaven than not believe and be in hell and if he isn't real then I spent my life living as a moral and a good human being, either way it's a win win for me.
As for you no longer wanting to be a Christian, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll pray that you'll find Jesus and God again someday because they love you, and so do we all because no matter what. You're made in God's image and if God loves you any good Christian will love you the same way.
Proper? You became Orthodox?
@@Void_Angel_Machine you do you. Just be respectful to others.
Most atheists are manchildren .
Onesimus, as a servant, was also very likely illiterate and not privy to the content of Paul's letters until Philemon read them, marched Onesimus out on Sunday, and read it aloud for the whole church to hear. It's not hard to imagine him trembling for weeping as he realized what was happening.
Hmmm maybe, maybe not... it's kinda wonky how all that worked. Servants... might need to do paper work... yeah,....
It's possible. Literacy certainly wasn't universal at the time, but it was valued, and there were definitely slaves (as well as servants, which is a bit of a difference) who could read and write.
Why would he be trembling or weeping?
@@Rynewulf imagine not being able to read and you deliver a letter to a guy who likely bears a grudge against you, then that person reads it out loud to an entire audience with you being asked to attend.
I'd be shitting bricks dog.
I literally cheered when you said "a book one friend wrote to anothe on behalf of a servant." I LOVE Philemon! My men's group went over it in detail a few years back and it was a blessing. Unfortunately I only got into the intro just now and I gotta get back to homework but I cannot wait to listen to the rest!
Our pastor's Sunday message was on Philemon.
My men's group is also planning on going over Philemon next week but we are really focused right now on being mad at women for not letting us game all day.
@@ashlomen8432🤦🏼♂️
Fun fact about Philemon and Onesimus. 50 years after Philemon was written, Ignatius of Antioch wrote a letter to the church in Ephesus, and mentions that the Bishop of Ephesus was actually Onesimus. It seems that the former servant, after receiving that Christ-like grace and love from both Paul and Philemon, proceeded to lead and teach a congregation to follow suit in Christ's grace and love. I can't help but think that the reason Philemon is in the Bible is because Onesimus kept it by his side all those years, reminiscing about how the grace and forgiveness embodied by that letter is what brought him to where he was now.
Thank you for doing a video on this book. I must admit I pay it less mind than it deserves.
Edit: Thank you Wendigoon, very cool
Edit edit: Turns out editing comments removes likes from the video creator :(
Also on a side note: very weird timing with this video, as I actually just finished reading Colossians today.
Bro the wendigoon is aways watching, he knows you just finished reading
Wouldnt expect someone with that name to actually read the bible as a recreational activity, no offense tho thats a good thing
@@IxJK_ Oh I don't read the Bible recreationally, I read it competitively. And yeah, believe it or not, despite outward appearances my channel is actually dedicated to theology and the Bible.
Another fun fact, there were cases of slaves/servants being ministers at the same Church, where their master would be just a regular Church members. Which is why even as early as 2nd century we can see Christian commentators speaking up against slavery as an institution. If you have to treat your slaves as brothers, than slavery stops making sense altogether. And Paul's letters, especially to Philemon, certainly helped that. Paul's idea wasn't being political reformist, changing society from top to down, he wanted people at the bottom change, so the whole society would see the absurdity of slavery. How can you put a price on someone, who God died for? How can you measure image and the likeness of God with money?
Love your Bible content Isaiah. As a fellow Christian it makes me so happy to see a good representation and discussion of our faith online. Keep up the good work and may God bless you.
I can’t get enough of videos like this. As a born and raised Christian who’s fallen out of the faith due to too much when I was too little, it’s so refreshing to just hear the really great stories the Bible has to offer and now that I’m an adult, the Christian faith intrigues me again. Not for the faith itself but for the teachings and stories within it, there’s so much to take away from them.
Thank you Isaiah.
I disassociated from my church as I no longer aligned with their methods of teaching. I believe in loving other and forgiveness and that we are all imperfect beings who have been blessed to have this life. Love thy neighbor christianity is what I believe in and it hurts me to see people tarnish its reputation by using it to justify hate
I've always said it's not Jesus I have a problem with, it's his fanclub...
Good luck on your jounrey.
@@joshlawrence8091your problem lies with heretics not the fans, I’m using a comparison but not a full one, Shall we blame Pewdiepie for that one guy who ended peoples lives and then said “subscribe to pewdiepie”
Ah yes another lukewarm pseudo-Christian that wants to steal the word of God for his own. Another Prometheus type. Why are you all thieves? There is no rationalizing or extracting the word of God without giving yourself to Christ and God. Your spirituality is meaningless, your hubris is humbled before God.
“So I will spit you out of my mouth, because you are only warm and not hot or cold” Revelation 3:16
Compelled to thank you for standing up for and presenting the Word in a real and passionate way. Not just preaching at people but showing what the lessons contained within mean and how they look in execution. You are an inspiration to myself and a lot of other believers, I'm sure. Makes my heart so happy to see you strong in the faith even amongst such success and likely pressures from other personalities and influencers. God bless you, brother!
I'm not at all religious, but have always been interested in learning about Christianity as it just fascinates me. The way you speak candidly about the Bible and the teachings without preaching or forcing your beliefs on the viewer is such a huge relief. It makes it so much easier to learn without losing interest. Please keep making this type of content!
Agreed! Also without expressing inherent morality in actions
If you are worried about how the material is presented but want to learn more get a good study Bible, concordance, maybe a parallel bible and just read yourself. Nothing in the Bible is secret but everything in it is inspired. Only good stuff can come from reading it. Even if you don't believe like I do you at least will understand people like me and gain a rich understanding of ancient Judaism and first century Roman life.
very much agreed. when i watch these types of videos it's either someone not Christian completely shitting on the belief or someone who is a fervent Christian and wants you to convert at all costs. Wendigoon makes learning this super enjoyable and isn't forcing his belief on you
@@Ikantspell4 I would love to do this one day with all the major religious texts, it's so interesting from a historical perspective
Saying "one true god" is to me, preaching and forcing beliefs as it's saying that everyone out here that isn't Christian is fake. And considering lots of gods were made into demons, it's even more gross.
This is literally a sermon dude. Keep this up, please do more of these, you’re using your platform in the necessary ways, and it’s beautiful to see
I'm atheist, but I absolutely adore your videos on the bible and Christianity as a whole. You're so passionate and you're not pushing it on anyone, and so I listen, and I learn.
You're a great man, you've been the source of many school nights spent staying up, learning about murder spirals, or serial killers, or, like this one, Christianity.
Thank you, Wendigoon
I wouldn’t go as far to say he isn’t pushing it because he is he even said on his second channel that his religion is the most important and he try’s to push it whenever possible he said that’s why he stoped doing Bible videos because it wasn’t a good way to get people to convert to his religion but yeah he doesn’t shove it down your throat like most others do
@@fucknamesJesus says to share the word so Christians have to
Agreed, I am not a believer but love hearing about religion (not just Christianity). Understanding each other is key to living in harmony!
He’s not pushing it he’s witnessing properly through his thoughts words and deeds…not judging and holding you to some standard like so many churches try
He's not pushing. He's sharing. And he does so in such a good way that we are here listening, willingly. I'm not a believer myself, but I'm always here because I really enjoy learning it because of the way he share the tales.
I'm not religious in the slightest, but my guy, i love listening to the passion you put in these videos. Real, genuine Christian belief is always a treat.
Its videos like this that remind me why people find comfort in Christ and in the bible. I'm not a part of the faith anymore, but this makes me nostalgic for when I was.
@@oliversmith8532 that is why Islam is conquering your centuries slowly and soon it will be all over the place and you have to accept it

Love to see you covering more Biblical stuff on the main channel again! Came for the horror breakdown content, stayed for watching a Brother in Christ rant about the same weird urban legends, cosmic horror, and cryptids I love to disturb my friends by going into too much detail on!
i am jewish, but seeing isaiah tear up every video where he talks about his faith just makes me want to cry with him, its so beautiful to see someone so filled with love for his faith and humanity
I’m Jewish and found Christ who tried to tell our people generations ago. I won’t force you but please in the name of our people find your way to Christ.
As a person of faith I absolutely agree too. I love when ppl express in a genuine way line this.

Little known fact, Saul wasn't renamed Paul due to his conversion. This is a massive and super common misconception. In fact, he only was first called Paul 4 chapters after his conversion (Chapter 13). It is more likely that it was because the name Saul in Greek, Saulos, was also slang term relating to prostitution, and he changed it when going to Hellenistic cities (Those that spoke Greek and had Greek culture) to avoid embarrassment. If you look at the text, the only text regarding the name change is just a random side note that says "Saul, who was also called Paul".
saul goodman
Good to know!
That actually makes logical sense.
This reminds of how East Asian names have different forms of the "same name"
Plus, (little detail) Luke writes "Barnabas and Saul" in Jewish areas and switches to "Paul and Barnabas " in Gentile scenarios to mark who's the leader, or more prominent in the situation.
i’m agnostic and not religious in the slightest, but i really love your bible videos. i’ve gone to sleep to your lost stories of the bible video multiple times lol. i find them fascinating and appreciate you sharing
Same here. Love his bible talks.
Love how Wendi has become our favorite Sunday school teacher
@@p-__weirdo
@@p-__ bro you have a fast fetish or smth ? Reporting you to YT now
I was raised as a christian by my stepgrandma until I was 14. I attended the church EVERY saturday night, and also every monday. Even though the people my grandma knew were kind to me, I always doubted part of what they preached at the time because they tried to passively force those ideas unto me without a good amount of explanation besides reading many parts of the Bible.
Now, 10 years later, this is the first time I watched some form of Bible-related content and actually want to listen, read and get to learn about more of it. Thank you Wendigoon, not only for your relaxed and casual explanation, but for your passion in what you are trying to show us. Maybe this is the spark that will make me defend the Bibles's teachings in the future.
Please, make more content like this, I really think the world needs more of this
This made me smile. I don't watch all of his videos, but this one caught my eye, as did your comment. This young man has probably led more people to Christ than many "real" preachers. I'm just some random old dude on the internet, but I'm glad he has sparked something inside you. Keep your eyes open for someone who can help you stoke this spark into a fire that will be with you always. I wouldn't be surprised if that person was already in your life.
I appreciate how you make it casual and relatable. I am not a Christian myself but I do love to listen to your Bible interpretations and explanations because it feels more like a conversation about a topic rather than I'm getting a school lecture. I definitely want to see more of these videos so I learn more. Thank you for sharing this video. (Even if it is late. lol)
Exactly this 👏
@@astyros1061 Your comment encourages me, as a Sunday school teacher. I've had kids these last few years that are pretty pretty wild. I mean that in the most affectionate way lol. There's no way I can get them to sit for long and do a traditional class, without really being on them. I don't want them to feel like they're in school and half to be there. I'd rather they want to be there. So I have to have little conversations. I have to get their attention quick and engage with them. So a lot of times, I'm just like, "Hey do you know what this story, where this or that happened?" Or, "What do you think this means?" They spend most of the time playing, and goofing around. Thanks for reminding me, sometimes the informal can be have a better impact.
Wendigoon actually got me interested in the Bible again, he was one of the many pushes I got to get where I am now. Got baptized again and saved not too long ago. Love you Wendi 🥳
Wendigoon is really making me reevaluate how I feel about Christianity. Since watching his Bible videos I’ve started looking into Christianity and want to attend a service.
Visit an Orthodox church. We are going through Lent and have our most beautiful services of the year at this time.
Do your research and see which denominations align with you the most. Which ever denomination you choose to see, welcome!
praise God brother
I second taking a denomination test, you'll be surprised by what you'll find!
Another suggestion is joining a small bible study of around 3 to 5 people. I started doing it with my in-laws and it's what really gave me the excitement to dive deeper into my faith!
@@ravisenpaithough it is also important to not take a test too seriously, since it can only be so accurate.
Honestly as an agnostic i always love hearing Christians like you talk about the bible. its such a breath of fresh air to be able to hear and learn about it without someone trying to convert me or shame me lol. thanks wendigoon!
Well, we certainly love your consideration to listen!
sorry some of us are a pain😭
@billygray7807 dude your so chill! please don't feel the need to apologize or feel guilty for other Christians. I know a lot and you guys are really chill!
1000% me too, this is the type of Christianity little atheist me was led to believe was out there.
Yes
I'd pay good money for a full Bible analysis from Wendigoon
look up the “weird Bible podcast”! you’re welcome and God bless!
Your emphasis on forgiveness was spot on Wendigoon. I haven't spoken to my brother in over 5 years because I haven't forgiven him...I'm not saying that this video has completely changed my mind about him, but it certainly feels like God was speaking through you to me by saying that forgiveness is something to work towards, but as long as you try, you just might succeed. Thank you for posting this, friend. May God bless you and your family ✝️
EDIT: The response to this was surprising yet very touching. I appreciate everyone's words of wisdom...more than you all realize. Thank you all, and may Christ be forever with you and your hearts. 🥹
I hope you two can reconcile. You never know how many heartbeats you get.
The value of forgiveness depends on what the other person did. I’m going to assume that your brother didn’t do something, like, kill someone or something.
It is a long story, but my sister didn't speak to me for a year because of my addiction. She forgave me. I'm about to have three years clean and I have a beautiful daughter, an amazing wife and couldn't be more grateful for life. I don't think I'd be here without my sisters forgiveness. Please consider just reaching out and saying hi to your brother. You never know what something that seems so little, could end up being. God bless
@@kyleroberts3096I’m happy for you bro!!
Not sure what caused the rift....if you have family, you are blessed beyond measure. I have no one.....that wasn't by choice, it just worked out that way....So, please reach out and do what you can.......
Wendigoon bible study keeps me going in life
Better than going to church honestly
Do you read the Bible? God uses it to speak to us. I cant press the importance enough. its odd how often he word corresponds with my life. You really have to. If youre not, which you might be. but anyone if youre not reading it please try to everyday. it is his word.
@@bababababababa6124 it depends, there are some bad churches out there for sure but there are also some great ones. Once you find a great community that is centered around CHRIST it can be extremely beneficial to your life and to the lives of others
Yeah I've had such a rough week but this video will keep me going for some time
@@bababababababa6124 There are good churches
I think videos like this are excellent and I'm happy to hear more of them. What I watch you for is how genuinely interested and passionate you are about everything you discuss wether it's the creepy stuff or christianity. Never lose that honesty, because good god it is rare online.
I was raised christian and although I may not be today, you've done more to bring me back to it than anything else i've seen.
It absolutely makes my day when Isaiah talks about his faith. There's so much passion and it's so wholesome. Please more videos like this!!
24:30 is one of my favorite quotes ever and has kept me from so many dark grudges over the years, thank you for including it
Wasn’t expecting a whole sermon from Wendigoon lol. Love to see it! Keep proclaiming the truth!
Me too!!!!
Wendi, your content is a massive inspiration to me. Not just your silly videos about cryptids and horror but also videos like these. I’ve been struggling with severe anxiety and a lack of faith in God for a long time but this video really comforted me and possibly rekindled my faith in Christianity. Hearing someone talk about the Bible with so much love and compassion instead of unnecessary fear mongering and ignorance is such a fresh breath of air to see. I seriously hope you consider doing more videos like this in the future, they’re very comforting and fun to watch.
You always make my cry when you talk about true Christianity. This specific chapter about forgiveness just made my heart ache, because I know I'm drowned in hatred but in Christ I can find peace, and when you talked about how could we hold grudges when our biggest sin was forgiven, it just made me cry. Thank you for talking about this, you don't know how much good you're dowing in the world. You better do this with the whole Bible
God bless you ❤❤
YES MORE BIBLE CONTENT
Wow
the people in the temple when Jesus was 12 be like
During Ramadan too, what a beast
Always loved when he made Bible content I get why he stopped but still, as a Christian it’s great to see some of the Word reaching more people and Wendigoon doesn’t do it in a pushy way either
W Rizz
Philemon is one of my favorite books.
My guy. You speak my love language. I love all of your content. I’ve seen thumbnails of some of your other videos that I don’t have time for, but when I get time to watch them, I fall in love with a topic I never knew about, and I kick myself for not watching it sooner.
When I see you post a video on scripture, I fall in love all over again with something I’ve always known.
I’ve watched a lot of TH-camrs throughout the years, but you have very quickly become one of my very favorites.
God bless you for your content.
We will probably never meet each other in this world.
Though death does sometimes scare me, I can’t wait for that eternity where once I’m done meeting all the saints and loved ones, it’s going to be totally rad to meet you and talk about all the weird stuff we have to discover about the new heavens and the new earth.
Got goosebumps reading this. Christ is King!
Well said.
I'm not religious but this was really nice to read. I grew up Catholic and am now married to a Hindu man but I love learning about religion in general and I love Wendigoons videos. Definitely check out the icebergs and his other weird assortment of videos, they're all great. Have you watched the Mystery Flesh Pit National Parks video yet? That's one of my favs for sure
@@shannawelch9631 I think Wendigoon has maybe two videos I haven’t finished yet. One being his most recent one, and I don’t know what the other one was.
@@shannawelch9631 I have seen that one. It’s really good. If you like the religious stuff, watch his video on the Japanese death alchemy.
My favorite of his videos is a personal thing but his videos on the book Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained hit different than the others for me.
His wako video and his political compass video are also very good.
I always look forward to your Biblically-themed videos because it reaffirms the shared sense of wonder I feel thinking about the people and circumstances in their lives surrounding these letters and books as a source of hope and solace for many people who resonated with these words throughout different eras and circumstances in their own lives.
Especially Saint Paul. The smile on my face grew remembering snippets of your sharing a bit of the ways the early churches kept that alive in their own ways on The Lost Books of the Bible video, from one beloved friend to the next. Coolest traveling letter writer ever. No wonder several of my favorite silly ahh saints and their stories at similarly moments one could imagine in their own lives across history were inspired by his example and this very short yet intimately personal one that was shared all this time illustrates why.
This short video was a nice one to check out after even the drastically different Easter release delay lol. The wonderful duality of this channel. 🤣 Thank you, Wendigoon!
wendigoon I am an atheist but i admire how you’re able to cover these biblical topics so elegantly, you always keep me interested and coming back and I have great admiration for you as a person. keep up the great work

Gotta love Monday School with Pastor Wendigoon
Same
I KNEW YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT PHILEMON. I agree it is extremely underrated, to the point you never get to study it in church. In my case, I had to to the work by myself. It's such a great, short letter, yet it teaches so much. So thank you for this video! It'll probably make a lot of people go an read it themselves.
Fellow Christian here, absolutely love these videos :) I think this kind of content is definitely the way to go when it comes to sharing the gospel on your channel, it’s informative and engaging, and even a ton of non Christians here say how much they love it, which is amazing to me to see, especially with how Christians tend to be viewed on most platforms.
Keep it up brother, you are well loved, and that with how successful this channel are 100% spiritual gifts from God!
perfectly said, God bless!
It’s really humbling seeing someone else with such a positive connection with Christianity. I am Christian but I lose my way many times and Wendi’s Bible videos really help put it all into perspective
i also love goon man

God bless you and stay strong 💪🏼❤
This guy single-handedly renewed my faith in Christ. I don’t know how but watching his videos just reawakened something in me. I thank God everyday for his videos.
Hw has a whole bunch of bible videos bro! For a little while, he even did like bible studies and breakdowns of different books/chapters. I love the content he puts out overall with all the cryptids and stuff, but THESE videos are the ones that are truly useful. I encourage you to give them a watch if you haven't already so that that you keep on feeding that hunger for Jesus. I will pray for you bro, I too, am in a journey of reconciliation with our Lord Jesus.
God Bless. Jordan Peterson Bible series and Chuck Missler did the same for me!

YES
@@krufty47 AWESOME IM SO PROUD DUDE!!!!
I sent this to my grandma and she loved it, shes excited to watch the rest of your bible content
Is worth to note that from all the books from Paul, this one is the only one where he speaks primarily about a private issue, that is the conflict between two people he cared about. The fact that he wrote the letter by his own hand which was something that he rarely do, just shows how much personal this letter was for him.
Love the small breaks for positivity between all the madness. Great vid.
As someone who chose to become Christian at 12 and stopped years later, this reminded me of why I was so passionate about Jesus and now I feel like going to church 😭
do it and see what God pushes you to do or say, if nothing comes of it maybe reconsider later but I would recommend going!
Come on back. You need any recommendations? I have a map of solid Catholic and Mainline Protestant churches if you're interested.
Just remember that all you need to believe to be saved is that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected and because of that your past, present and future sins are forgiven.
That’s amazing 🤩
@@TheGovernmentputcrackinmybluntunless you’re Catholic, in which case then you would have to do good acts too because they say “not by faith alone are souls saved” or something along those lines. (It can be stuff like feeding the homeless, helping old people carry groceries or cross the road, building a church or volunteering at a church, and generally living in a way as close as you can to how Jesus did, plus reading the Bible regularly.) I may be mistaken but I’m pretty sure that’s where a lot of the volunteers for those “build a well in Africa” non profits got their volunteers from.
I've had a long history of going back and forth with religion, your the only person who has made me see it in a different light. The way you speak about God is so passionate and kind... it feels nice to not get so caught up in the conflict of religion and just hear about it from someone who truly loves it.
Wow! I don't want to cry on my keyboard, but this video hit hard. I watch your other videos and they are always fantastic, but these last few on the Bible have been so impactful and contain lesson that I think Christians need to be reminded of now more than ever. Thank you for allowing yourself to be used by the Lord. You have blessed this heart all the way down in Texas. 🤠 Praying for you and your family/team, and Lord willing, to see more content about books of the Bible that aren't talk about as much.
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. Many don’t like how “depressing” it sounds, but the book just comes off so relatable.
Most of it is shittalking everything for being vanity, but it ends pretty beautifully with chapter 11, pointing out that while it's easy to succumb to the depressing thoughts in the rest of the book, there's still beauty. 11:9-10 - "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou that for all these things God will bring thee into judgement. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity", using the same language that people disregard as "too depressing" from earlier in the book to emphasise a whole different point continued in the 12th and final chapter. It's a fantastic book that definitely also deserves better than just being "the cold one".
@@plebisMaximus Yes! Imo, it’s a book for nihilists. A person who finds every thing meaningless only to see a light at the end of the tunnel
I like it though I think my fave might be Ephesians. Ecclesiastes has a lot of wisdom in it even if it’s not the cheeriest book.
Ecclesiastes is my favorite too. I think it’s the stoic’s book of the Bible.
Wait till you get to the end
I'm a Catholic, not a protestant, but I'm very happy to see a famous TH-camr not be afraid to speak about his faith. We need more of that online.
Me too !
It's horrible that chrustuanity Is Always show with its worst elements in media while there are so many examples of solidarity and love in our book .__.
He also does it in a manner that's not condescending or trying to be politically edgy, which is what the world needs.
Because when they do and they are like him, tells spooky stories likes “horror” ect they are told they are not truly religious
same here.
In what universe are Christians afraid to speak about their faith online.
Dude, I just found this video this morning. Wendigoon, I'm going to watch all of these that you have. I have never, in 61 years of life, heard the Gospel put in such a way that I can really understand it. I love this, and please continue these, so people such as I might further understand the Bible and Jesus.
Look into @theweirdbible. Wendigoon and Adin Mattis review different books of the bible. Really good perspectives.
“The impact of love is immeasurable when put to action.” Wow! ‼️
For one reason or another, this felt like a classic Wendigoon video, which was surprisingly fun and relaxing for me. I love the stuff he puts out nowadays too, but there's just something about revisiting his humble beginnings that gets to me. Either because of the topic on Christianity, the shorter video length, or the fact I was equally surprised by there being no sponsor and we got straight into the video right away. But again, whatever the reason, I liked the vibe. This was nice. Also, as a fellow Christian, this was a necessary reminder for me to step my game up when showing love and kindness to others. Thanks, Wendi. Always appreciate you, dude.
When I first subscribed to this channel a few weeks back, I didn’t expect “Bible Studies with Wendigoon”. But boy am I glad that’s what I’m getting.
Keep up the good work, man.
Oh I needed this today. I’m glad you uploaded it late. More Bible content please! 💛💛
Do more of these!! This actually made me tear up, thank you so much for the great message. A very necessary and hard hitting book 💖
Hey man, I just want to say thank you for your content. I remember watching your Sunday studies last year and missing the church. A few months later(and alot of character development) not only did I found a good church to visit but I became a member and am now baptized.
Congratulations!!!
Congrats 🎉🎉god bless you in your new life ❤❤❤❤
I love hearing these
I’d love for you to cover more general bible content such as going over all the individual books, perhaps maybe a second channel, I find your way of describing and explaining so much more engaging. Keep it up brother 🙏
hi isaiah,
I was raised catholic and have struggled with my faith and religion for a long time. i had my doubts in god since i was 5 and i officially stopped believing when i was 12. this was mostly due to generational trauma (and how deeply it was tied to religion).
i use to be angry about religion, but now i wish i could believe. i find it so hard to place my faith in something that there is no tangible, solid, 100% proof of existing. and yet i know that is a very big part of faith.
i have tried to join christian church groups, but find myself turned off by their agendas and evangelical practices. i know that does not represent every group however. i feel the way you approach religion and the discussion of the bible is without judgement, without a clear bias you’re trying to push.
you speak of it out of love-it’s something that is really refreshing to hear, especially for a person who wants to embrace religion despite their own skepticism. i would definitely listen to a podcast of yours that went through the bible and just discussed aspects of christianity
thank you, and much love
I just wished to ask, and I don't mean to be pushy or preachy or anything, but if you received some evidence for the existence of God or the truth of Christianity, would you be willing to reconsider Christianity? I ask this because I was in a very similar situation to what you are describing and years ago I was presented with some of the evidence for Christianity and it changed my outlook on life. I ask this out of love because like I said, I understand and sympathize with your skepticism.
I sympathize with you and pray for you brotha. Hope your life improves. If it's any consolation I really believe in god and many if not all Christian beliefs, but yikes do I feel out of place at church and small group. It's hard to relate to the average surface-level christian. Don't force yourself to go to something unless it's your decision man, dad got me into small group and I'm pretty much doomed to stay in it until I move away lol, in this specific case they're definitely not my people but I'm trying to learn to make something positive out of it and maybe understand their perspectives more, or something -.- may peace be with you and the lord aid you and guide you.
@@eccentricjoe8786 my dad was begging me to join a men’s group (bible study) before he got killed on his Harley.

I wanted to join a group as a way to honor him and found a group from my local church of 10 or less men. All different backgrounds but I get so much out of it. For context I just recently rediscovered my faith after being agnostic for 20 years. Getting into a bible study and making new friends is a must. My dad wanted me to see it and I finally did thank’s to him. Just wish he was here to see it.
Hope you find your way back to our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Peace be upon you, Amen.
I’d recommend checking out the book “Cold Case Christianity”. Its a good introduction to the evidence for the gospel accounts in the new testament and it helped me a lot as a new Christian. Praying for you ❤ God bless you
Bro you always deliver when I need you
My priest just recently talked about the Book of Philemon and ended up being our topic of discussion on Wednesday night at the beginning of Great Lent.
It is a great example of love and compassion for others that we should follow. Peace be with you all!☦️
Grace and peace to you as well brother
This was an amazing video- I love learning about religion in a historical context, but to hear the Bible translated in a way that makes sense more than i’ve ever heard was such a treat. Not only that, but it really hit home for stuff going on in my life right now, and I’ll be thinking about these teachings a lot going forward. Thank you so much for this video.
Came and watched this again. I needed the spiritual boost.
I loved to see a reawakening of an improved Sunday Studies (intended to be) for easter. Wendigoon went so much deeper into the meaning, and sophisticated implications on the verses of the bible in this one. Not to mention, adding a call to action changed EVERYTHING about the “taste in my mouth” at the end. I’d love to see a video like this again.
I'm actually so grateful to have you on the internet. I'm a Christian but I often forget to read the bible and connect with the gospel. It gets lost in the abyss of social media. But when I saw this video I opened my Bible for the first time in weeks. So thank you so much. Keep doing what you're doing.❤
Your Bible videos will always be speacial to me. Two years ago I've started falling out of my faith but still was intrested in Bible stories and that's how I found your channel. The way you talked about it reminded me why I wanna be a Christian and it only strengthen me. Ever since then I love doing research on my own about it. Thank you so much Wendi
Tomorrow I’m going to be covering my churches Wednesday night Bible study, so this video actually inspired me to go over Philemon! I think it’ll be a good study for everyone
you should definitely do more of these, i’m so invested
So beautifully put. I added notes from this to my church notes/journal. Always love when you post wisdom along with the regular content
I'm not a Christian, but listening to Isaiah talk about his religion is very inspiring. I'm glad you're so passionate about it without being condescending about it. Great video as always. Keep up the good work!
consider following Christ my brother! he loves you as much as he loves all creation and he wants you to love it and him back
Just be careful if you do join Christ about which church you go too. Some are far too conservative and some are far too liberal. (In terms of how they apply the Bible, not political standing.)
I'm not planning to convert. I just think hearing about different religions is interesting.
@@Geebees93 its okay, then I hope you enjoy listening and reading the gospel.
@@excaliburknives3572 Don't even have to follow a church at all, it's so far corrupted by "tradition" at this point it's nigh impossible to find one that gets it right. Better to read scripture and find where you personally stand.
you really got something here, my friend. your genuineness in your beliefs and life has lead you into a beautiful space where you are able to help many while doing what ya love. congratulations, your a great fresh breath of air for many, including myself!
I would love love love if you talked about the book of Job. I love the idea of this man’s life suffering for something he doesn’t fully understand until his death. I relate to it a lot.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH I need more! Thanks Wendi!
YES!!! Even as a teenage girl with too many emotions to handle, thinking my life was just ohhhh so hard… 😂 Job was that book I always read whenever I need a swift kick in the arse. It tends to help you realize just how good you’ve really got it. I would LOVE to watch a video on the book of Job!
Letting a man suffer just to make a point was never inspiring to me
I need this today
Wow
Okay
Please, if you are not, please read your bible every day.
My farts are better than Wendigoon’s farts 💨
Christ loves you
Ngl Wendi goon is the reason I went back to Christianity, he made me find faith again. Thank you

Just remember that all you need to believe to be saved is that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected and because of that your past, present and future sins are forgiven.
@TransformersNibbasInDisguise54 any proof?

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you, Wendigoon. God bless.
Love it when Wendigoon takes us all to Sunday school 🌸🙌🏻🌸🙌🏻🌸🙌🏻🌸🙌🏻
As someone who grew up christian but doesn't remember a lot of it, I would love to hear you explain more books of the bible like this
The Spirit is calling you! I would recommend the KJV Audio Bible (Dramatized meaning it plays sword sounds during battles and gives each person in the book a unique voice to help you delineate between them)! God Bless and I second this entirely.
Highly recommend visiting your nearest Orthodox Christian church! You won't regret it :)
If you ever want to get back into active participation in the Church, I encourage you to research what the different denominations have in common and what they disagree on. I recommend the channel Redeemed Zoomer. He’s a Presbyterian but you don't have to be one you get some good info from him about the denominational differences.
Edit: I’m making this reply as a reaction to that worthy individual above me who is encouraging you to attend an Orthodox Church. That may be where you are called to be in the end, but I still encourage you to look at the others.
Hey, don't stress it bro. If gods calling you then hear it. But never feel pushed into it 👍
I say delve into the Word on your own. I highly recommend starting with John as one of the Gospels but idk what you should read after that, but Romans is an amazing book. But don’t forget the Old Testament
These uploads have my sense of time shattered. I thought it must have been weeks since the Uzumaki video, seeing the 8 days ago sent me into a spiral. Keep up the great work, looking forward to enjoying this one too!
a… what?? D:
I see what u did there
Smooth moves, priest.
They did it! They said the thing!
This has become one of my favorite videos that you've done. Thank you
Would love to see you do a video on how all 12 apostles died
I’d love that. Technically 14 total, since Judas was replaced by Matthias before Paul was made an Apostle by the rest.

Been having a rough day (which is most days), so this video is very much appreciated. Thank you for all of the encouragement you've unknowingly given me, Isaiah. God bless, and have a wonderful day.
I literally wrote an essay about this book for a final in one of my Bible classes, you have no idea how happy this makes me! Thank you for shedding light on this beautiful message, there’s a lot of other scripture that is connected with Philemon too!
i'm an ex-christian who grew up going to church twice a week with conviction, and although i now have a lot of beef with many aspects of organized religion, i found this video nostalgic in the absolute best way possible-- this video and the story you tell in it are the perfect exemplars of christianity when it gets something right. it took me right back to being in sunday school and hearing a parable or story from the bible and having a lightbulb go off when i realized what the moral of the story was and being moved by how it was expressed. there's a certain, very special kind of beauty to these lessons and i think you really delivered on showing that in this video, (and did so in a way that i feel is receivable to christians and non christians alike, which is no small feat) thanks so much for this
