Found this video after reading about Dmitri's story in Max Lucado's book "Unshakable Hope". Thank you for making this video & bringing the story to life. May God bless your ministry.
Jesus is alive. There is nothing that can keep me from rejoicing in His free gift. We lift our arms high in honor of tge living risen king who shall reign forever.
Still shout for joy to Almighty God on 2022,. That I am still alive, and just the sinners save by grace. Lord give me a bold hearts to stand faithful to Your Truth, humble but not afraid to speak the Truth. God bless brother's and sisters in Christ,.
Let's continue serving the Lord and He will take care of us. He said that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Praise you Lord Jesus! Highest honor and praise is for you alone!
hello Todd!! Thankyou for singing about the russian, so many of them laid their lives down for Christ. My great uncle and great grand father were martyred in Russia for Jesus too. The song you did 'Oh God give me strength' is one of the most loved by us. I cant stop listening to it, you sang it so beatifully! God bless you!
Eva, thank you so much for writing me! I can't imagine what your great grand father and great uncle went through but they have received the martyr's crown. God bless you.
Ever since I was 17 years old I have accepted the Lord then and I have always daily praying for my persecuted Russian friends Lord please help them save them from the evil and I just want them to know 60 years later I'm still praying for them even as I sit and watch the military and from the KGB men of Russia go into Ukraine February 23rd 2022
Thank you for your prayers. My grandpa was prosecuted for being a Christian leader, sent to Siberia, later he ended being in Uzbekistan (former USSR republic) and finally put to prison in 1967. My grandma was left without the provider with 6 children (including my dad) at home. It was the hardest years of their lives, but God was faithful, so they all survived. So many Christians were prosecuted and still are. God bless you for your kind heart and answering His calling to pray for those who are in need in God’s protection and strength. ❤️🙏
Wow! That song and video brought me to tears! We in America have not had to stand up for our Lord like that. We are so blessed and need to appreciate the freedom we have, someday it may be gone and will we be willing to suffer for Christ. I truly hope and pray I have that courage! Thank you for your heart's desire to worship the Lord in your music.
😭 i literally cried right now.. i just finished the part of Dmitri's story!! .. i was sobbing. Moved by how they fight for their faith in Jesus.. yes Jesus! Thanks for this song and for Nik Ripken's "Insanity of God"
How could somebody listen to this song and not get Glory Bumps??? We are so blessed to live where we can worship our Living God and not be in fear. Thanks for this song!! Loved your music so much I went straight to Amazon and bought your CD. Thanks for serving Christ for us.
You are still my hero man every song of yours feels the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ....,,youre the only Singer that can change my heart...God bless you Todd Smith 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you for serving us🙏🙏🙏🙏
When I was in the military, I was blessed to meet many P.O.W.s both American and European from WWI to Vietnam. I also have met those precious few who escaped their executions by the grace of our Lord, they hailed from places such as; Cambodia, Vietnam, Sudan, Nigeria, Rhodesia, Botswana, Congo, Somalia, Lebanon, the former CCCP/ Soviet Union, just to name a few. All were persecuted for their faith in Jesus. I thank God for saving these from the mouth of the lion and for blessing me and the many others who have been greatly encouraged to live our lives to the fullest for Him because of their testimonies. Thank you for honoring those who are persecuted for His Name sake.
I'm blessed listening your song and it really encouraged me to stay strong and to continue serving God as a youth and to be an example amongs my family.. it really inspired me the way you remained faithful during your prision, it reminds me of Paul and Danniel... Let's continues serving Him... love your testimony

The Insanity of God. The Documentary comes out Nov 21st at Lifeway stores. You can order the book anywhere. One of the best books I've read in 10 years.
This song is based on a true story. There is a movie and a book that has more stories and testimonies. The name of these is "The Insanity of God". Please pass all of this on.
One thing I among others I wish they did right in the movie is people from the old soviet union would NEVER read the word of God with a hat on, nor pray not preach.
Hallelujah
Now in the end they let Dimitri free??
Wooow!!!! Jesus IS ALIVE!!!
Thank you, that is wonderful!

Todd Smith awsome lyrics
I came here after reading the book " The insanity of God"
This song is based on a true story. There is a movie and a book that has more stories and testimonies. The name of these is "The Insanity of God". Please pass all of this on.
is this a true story?
yes it is, he is still alive!
why can't i find his story online?
His identity was protected by the author of the book. You can read his story in The Insanity of God book by Nik Ripken
One thing I among others I wish they did right in the movie is people from the old soviet union would NEVER read the word of God with a hat on, nor pray not preach.
This is definitely NOT the Todd Smith I was looking for, lol
An atheist, a muslim, and a prosperity pimp preacher did not like this video.
well, I'm sure it's not for everyone. At least you guys have a well rounded representation. take care
You DO know that I'm referring to the 3 dislikes, right?
Amazing
