As a professing Christian, why would he not want to give the Glory to God?
Yes!! I said the same thing.
Exactly! Lukewarm is not a good place to be when Jesus comes!
because he’s a modern “Christian” which translates to he is a Christian because he was raised by Christian parents, but he doesn’t behave the way the Bible tells Christians to behave
🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩
I've been a fan for several years, but John Crist wasn't "cancelled" he was disciplined. He committed sins against women (and, per previous reports older teenage girls) , broke laws (driving drunk, among others), and generally lived the opposite of what he professed. I'm glad he has sought counsel and forgiveness, but this interview gives a distorted view of what he did to wreak his own upward career. I agree with others here who have commented that this was a huge missed opportunity to talk about God's grace and mercy in his life. He's self-professed Christ follower, as such, he's *supposed to* "get all spiritual and everything".
Do you think he's a Christian or is it his persona?
Only God knows. @@JD-lt7uv
He did what every man does and only got canceled because he's Christian. FACT
Well said
John is a hilarious comedian! It’s so great as a Christian man to be able to listen to clean comedy that’s actually funny
John Crist is a very talented comedian. He does not get enough credit for his work.
That has nothing to do with his sexual predatory behavior. Look up why he was actually "canceled."
He who has no sin , throw the 1st stone. May God continue to lift John up .
Love John's comedy and continue to wish him nothing but the best
That has nothing to do with his sexual predatory behavior. Look up why he was actually "canceled."
Not EVERY guy in their 30's... nope. Know lots of regular, hard working, faithful guys who aren't chasing fame and popularity who don't go off the rails.
I think JC misrepresented himself to his audience, if he thinks the behavior that got him in trouble 'wasn't that bad'. And somehow at the same time he admits he was in a dark place during that time... It doesn't add up. So disappointed in MK for downplaying unhealthy behavior such as alcohol abuse and casual or adulterous intimate relationships. Our society needs a better standard for men
I agree. Taking ownership and responsibility for something is NOT downplaying it.
He is specifically referencing her question, how is what he did it different from the norm & does that show the hypocrisy of cancel culture? The question wasn't about whether what he did was not that bad or ok - its that its par for the course sadly and he was canceled most likely due to having any affiliation with Christianity. He repeatedly said he owned his mistakes and blamed no one but himself.
@@orphanedhanyou exactly is was cancelled because he did what the world applauds. Just look at who they idolize. But being a Christian automatically makes you a hypocrite if you sin according to them.
It is clear that he doesn’t understand the gospel and his own unrighteousness 😢
@@hannae3242 his dad is a pastor. Of course, he understands the gospel.
I just found him on TH-cam and have subscribed. He is hilarious.
Wow! I can’t believe you’re interviewing John! He’s so talented and I’ve been following him for a while now!
He is such a great comic! Life can be a roller coaster…breaks my heart he was going through so much pain but I’m glad things turned around.
Ask his victims how their lives are...
Liza I'm thinking you need to know the "rest of the story" as Paul Harvey(also a sinner, just like every single person EVER).
@@ElRoi68 what are you talking about? I believe what his victims(as in MANY) say.
@@lizaw.7313 what victims? What happened
@@sarahjachym3930 he used his position of influence to sexually harass and manipulate several ladies, some while in a relationship. He has several victims and they have said he's never tried to make it right with them although making a "public apology".
I am in no way condemning Jon, but as Christians, we are not supposed to look like the rest of the world. That’s kind of the point. When nonbelievers do what Jon did, it’s somewhat expected. But when you call yourself a Christian, you’re holding yourself to a different standard. A holy standard. That’s why it’s a bigger deal.
Especially when he used Christianity to become famous there’s a responsibility tied to that
Yet King David a man after God’s own heart, cheated with Bathsheba and killed her husband so he wouldn’t find out he got her pregnant.
We ALL have issues as Christians, let give some Grace and look at the plank in our own eye first.
@@Graceandalena Again, NO ONE is condemning Jon. Megyn seemed to not understand what the big deal about what Jon did was. I was simply responding to why those things should be avoided for the Christian.
Yes say it again girl!!!!
That isn't true by any means. At all. And the kind of theological hopscotch it takes to reach that perspective is borderline blasphemy.
I’m disappointed, why do so many “famous” Christians not want to talk about God, get bold brethren! God definitely restored and redeemed you brother and God had a lot of grace and mercy on you. I appreciate your gift brother, I watch your stand up all the time when I’m doing busy work at home, it keeps me entertained with clean humor, but I would be very careful about the road your treading on trying to fit in and not get “super spiritual” about all that God kept you from after all the bad choices you made. This is all in love, in Christ, as a sister because I made terrible decisions that could have ended in disaster but God had much grace on me and I did not take that for granted. 🙏🏽💒
Great comedian, so happy he’s back and better than ever (in all aspects).
If anything cancel culture sets you free. Now you can express your opinion fully and completely
He was "canceled" not for his principles but his sexually exploitative behavior. Look up why he was actually "canceled."
Let’s be honest, he didn’t really get cancelled. He was being hypocritical, & so people reacted accordingly. Kinda like the Bud Light boycott. He did things that true Christians are heavily against. So to get a 2nd chance is really a rarity & he is actually very lucky that the Christian community does follow God’s principles of “love one another as I have loved you”. Otherwise I truly think his actions would have ended his career rather than temporarily suspended it. I am happy for you John, & I hope you continue to follow God’s direction for your life. You are really good at what you do. God Bless You!!!
John is so funny! So happy you interviewed him. I know he’s just on the incline from the bottom for when he’s been but he’s been pretty open about his journey.
Yet he never once apologized for his sexual predatory behavior in this interview. Look up why he was actually "canceled."
I love John Crist! He is so funny and it's refreshing that its clean. Wish him much success.
Look up why he was actually "canceled." Clean is just a facade.
Glad you have picked yourself up and our moving forward. Sometimes we have to hit bottom, but the important thing is to become better and leaving your old self behind.
What he fails to say is that he, as a Christian, is held to a higher standard. Here's what he did say. "I don't want to get too spiritual about it or anything. "
I think Jon is as funny as any comedian I've ever heard. As a Christian I don't listen to F-bomb comics anymore. People don't like the truth, especially Christians. In my estimation, John would of been better served and recieved if he had focused on his tribulations (for the sake of his fans) and, not dismiss them because they may be to "Spiritual". Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so. Praying for you John.
I first saw him when he did the skit about Christian Karen. But I’ve watched all his skits and some of his standup and I can totally relate as I was raised by a Pentecostal family who went to church 3 times a week. Sunday was pretty much an all day event, Wednesday was missionettes and royal rangers, Thursday was choir practice, and when I got older Friday was youth group. I went through a rebellious stage before I gained a balance in my life from my super strict upbringing.
wow! I grew up the same way with the same programs!!!! thank god for people like john!
Raised and still a Pentecostal! I wasn’t home schooled but soooo much that he says is so relatable lol I’m so thankful for my upbringing, it’s made me who i am today!!!!! Find humor and joy in everything you do!!
Same here
I didn’t even hear about him getting “cancelled.” Glad it didn’t work. He is super funny!
Sounds like he's just jumping on the bandwagon to get attention. He was itching for men's groups and some sort of supervision in his life.
He lost his deal with Netflix.
Seeking adulterous relationships is what all normal 30 year olds would do?? 🙄😑
Thank you for this interview Megyn.
I’ve seen John twice in concert. He is a riot.
I had never laughed harder than I did at his show in 2019. My face hurt from smiling and laughing ☺️
He is very funny and am glad he is in a better place mentally. I think we all need to remember about casting stones.
Look up why he was actually "canceled." He's a manipulative sexual predator.
Well said Patty!
Not every man drinks and goes "wild" - and I do not understand why he could not "get all spiritual" about being mercifully saved from the downward spiral he himself admits he was in. It was a wonderful opportunity to stand up ever so briefly in this interview and speak a real witness for Christ's power and care. Lord, be with this talented man as he continues, hopefully, to grow in the grace and mercy You provide to us. May he use his platform that is doing so well per his own claim and his excellent talent to speak out regarding his relationship with you, sharing Jesus joy and that great sense of humor he has.
John is one of the best comedians ever
I'm glad he owned it. It wasn't pretty stuff he was doing, and he needed to clean up his mess. But he did. And Jesus taught us to forgive. I'm glad the faith community has forgiven him. I'm also glad he can speak about it so cleanly. Here's to the next chapter!
I recently discovered John Crist and I was immediately attracted to his energy. I didn't know he was cancelled? This guy is hilarious and cute. I'm a huge fan now. been looking to see where and when he will perform a stand-up. I know he's not really cancelled...I haven't cancelled him so he has a fan in me.
No not every 30 year old guy drives drunk. He could’ve killed somebody. He just got lucky.
He was not canceled. He screwed up, hurt people, and made a half hearted apology. This is not being canceled.
And then everyone in his comments says “I love you and still support you” 🙄
Hey Courtney. Thats what legitimate honest sinful ppl do bc they acknowledge they aren't any better. Smh
@@ElRoi68 totally fair point. I agree we shouldn’t think we are better. But what about 1 Corinthians 5:11? I’m not saying I’m better, I’m just saying I’m really skeptical of accepting and praising a total stranger on the internet.
Forgive so your heavenly father in heaven will forgive you. Forgiveness doesn’t mean it’s okay, it means a higher court than you handles it and you let go. Jesus takes away your burden of trying to carry it or be harmed by it. Release your issues to God. Ask for the healing that comes after you can forgive. Surrender it.
You can also see John still needs prayer, that’s the part that’s on you. Actually want him to keep better, he is repenting(turning from the sinful ways to God), he just hasn’t yet renounced, fully surrendered to the healing, so he’s in the SAME position as those who won’t forgive him.
Come on John. “Every guy in his 30’s.” What a great standard?!? You know why it was appalling. I’ve totally supported you and so proud of your come back, but this was an opportunity to proclaim a grace you didn’t and don’t deserve. Been disappointed by your podcast and lack of humility lately. Fame. Always a beast. I’m sure all your brothers did similar things in their 30’s? We are all broken, but that’s not the standard or the exception.
Makes me wonder what kind of people they hang out with. Also 30 is a full grown adult who should know better.
Yes! This interview was massively disappointing
Why was he canceled? Because he marketed to Christians as a Christian and then couldn't keep it in his pants.
It sounded like he was about to say something about that not being true/an excuse but she cut him off and then asked a question leading another direction.
Are there any times you missed in your own daily life to share God’s grace every single time today?
Also we don’t know if parts were cut or what the focus of this was about. So much we don’t know.
It is easy to judge each other though, isn’t it?
I don’t think we should expect a 30 year old to be the type of things that they Just do. That’s one of the problems with our society. Our expectations of each other is very low. And I don’t condemn him at all because there are many things I’m not proud of. I have made more mistakes than I would care to admit. However, as a Christian our bar goes even higher because we are representing Christ. I pray John will always remember that. Being “canceled” in this culture means nothing at the end, however, living genuinely has an eternal value.
I am a big fan! Love John Crist!!!
Sorry it's not what "every guy in their 30's do"
When you're a follower of Christ, approval doesn't come from having sold out shows. It comes from God and being obedient to His Word. You can gain everything in the world and yet lose your soul. I've enjoyed listening to John, but sounds like he doesn't take his sin seriously and is looking for acceptance from the world instead of from the Lord. Not that we have to live perfectly to be accepted by God- He gave His Son, Jesus, to live perfectly and still take the punishment for our sin so that we could be forgiven and be friends with God, who is holy and perfect. We still mess up, of course, sometimes even in "big" ways, but the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and we repent and confess that, and try again because we love God and are grateful for Him loving us first. By downplaying sin and the forgiveness we've received by God's grace, we trivialize what Jesus did for us. I'm sad to hear John talk this way. Only God knows his heart, but right now, he's not showing gratitude for what the Lord has done for Him and it's hard to believe he is a believer.
Omg he wasn't canceled. He probably got a few judgemental messages from folks, but VERY overwhelmingly the messages on his apology post were supportive and loving.
He's a really funny guy. I wish him the best .
I wish as Christians we would stop referring to “the left” and “the right” in a derogatory manner. I respect all political parties. God gives us free will to choose and we are truly blessed to live in the USA where we can vote and have a voice. I also know many Christians who are democrats. Wonderful people. Your statement that “The left tries to ruin and mock others” is a bit aggressive and categorizes and separates people. I think it’s better to embrace one another’s differences and opinions without putting a group of people into a category. I really enjoy John Crist’s comedy. I think I was a bit taken aback by your comment. I saw more Christians saying such rotten things about democrats (other human beings that were made in the image and likeness of God) on social media that I was ashamed of them. If I wasn’t a Christian that behavior would’ve completely made me want to stay away from anybody who called themselves a Christian. I am definitely not trying to be offensive, but as somebody that is a Christian and loves the Lord Jesus I think we need really walk out the fruits of the spirit.
He wasn't cancelled. He faced consequences from abusing women. Suck it up John and show a hint of repentance.
love John. listen to him all the time. so he's human, his new journey of being human saved by grace will just give him more material that we can all relate to and laugh about.
We SHOULD be able to for sure! Sadly, there's a bunch of ppl on here with a bag of stones...🙄who are sinless I'm sure. No wait, only Jesus was sinless 😁
Love your guests Megyn Kelly! They, not your plunging necklines, are the reason I watch your TH-cam channel. ::)
had no idea he went through all of this!!! Makes me love him even more!!!
Funny guy!!! Nice that he’s stayed clean and continues to stand for Gods truth!
Every guy in their 30s behaves that way? Good Lord, I hope not. I did not raise my boys with the "boys will be boys" mindset and neither did my friends.
When he came back after being canceled, he was much more contrite. I don't get that vibe from him anymore. Wouldn't be surprised if he returns to his old ways.
I was wondering why I havn't see him in a while but if hes canceled thats probably why hes not being suggested to me. Love ya Crist!
He has come back to social strong, he did a tour, started a podcast and wrote a book
Megyn are you kidding me? Do you have any idea what went down? Why are you minimizing it? Ridiculous...why categorize it as a young men behavior?
She's an enabler.
And Trump's so 'funny' , omg.
Man I wished his dad was in my district. I live in GA and would totally vote for his dad. I just done a quick research. If you live in Johnny Crist district. Please vote for him. I really like what he is doing.
Megyn Kelly describing his behavior as something normal 30 year old men would do is essentially saying, “Boys will be boys.” I don’t understand this in light of her own experience with sexual misconduct from Bill O’Reilly.
Surely we can exercise forgiveness and rejoice in Crist’s restoration/healing without minimizing the harm he inflicted on women (who have also had to go through their own healing process).
^^^^ this comment.
If John was a secular comedian, nothing would have happened. His claims of being a Christian entertainer was the problem. This has happened to preachers and Christian musicians. For the most part all who acknowledged their sin were welcomed back. To equate it with cancel culture feels a bit misleading. I think John was noticeably uncomfortable in the interview, because Megyn was trying to push a narrative, he wasn't fully comfortable with. John had to look at himself, as many of us have, and say I fell off the path. He got back on, and he seems to have his life right with God now.
Crist abused his female fans. Others have done worse to be sure but as Christians we are to hold higher standards for ourselves. I am not angry with him but I think being famous is a problem for Crist.
Their point was cancel culture is hypocritical. People out their helping Harvey Weinstein & Jeffrey Epstein, but then # on Twitter "cancel so & so" for doing "less evil" than they do on the daily.
I agree but you know with any new job, you try to do better as you go. I wouldn't say that he doesn't "handle the fame well". I would say he initially didn't handle it well but now he is doing better than before. I say all that with the caveat that I don't follow him that close to know the real truth of his current dealings either as I have a life of my own.
Did he abuse them or did they choose to be with a celebrity? If it was abuse why didn't they prosecute him?
@@andrealmoseley6575 there wasn’t any abuse. That was a very broad (and I would say incorrect) use of the term by the commenter.
He’s a comedian.
His mistake was marketing himself (or for allowing himself to be marketed) as “Christian comedian.”
He should just call himself a comedian. He’s not a pastor.
Love Jon ❤ great guy! Hysterical, honest and growing in his relationship with Jesus 🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌
Pro tip: saying you’re scared of the me too movement is the self report of all self reports. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 absolutely mind blowing.
I’ve always loved this guys comedy. And my kids do to. I pray everything works out for him. More than anything get back to the Savior.
He was not “canceled”. He made a series of choices that hurt many women and the Christain community. He had to face the consequence of being told he was a hypocrite. It is terrible that you have tried to frame his behavior as typical.
This
Love John!!!
To all the armchair quarterbacking Christians weighing in on John’s performance here, his past sins, apologies he made for those sins, etc; “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7:2
I’m so glad to have discovered your podcast but, not all of us in the left agree with the cancel culture BS. It’s the worst part of the left to me but, I’ll still listen to your show.
Yeah. Just like all of us on the right don't believe in banning all abortions. 🤷 I think it's horribly sad that anyone gets an abortion, and I couldn't do it personally, but I don't think I should shove my views om someone else. 🤷
Thanks for including your comments. Cancel culture has been part of my prejudice against the left. Glad it's more nuanced. I'm an independant, so in the middle. I should know better, no prejudice is worth it or accurate. I will be more open minded and not oversimplify the left. Thanks again.
In my humble opinion as a postliberal its up there for sure. Definitely after CRT and gender ideology though
@@libertybell8852 honestly, it's about 50% of the Republican party that believes abortion should be illegal in almost all cases (pew research). When the left lit up the empire state building in pink to celebrate abortion through 9 months, they did not help themselves.
@@libertybell8852 I would say you really don't understand the issue of abortion. Respectfully.
preaching is not and shouldnt be a 'family business'
But not every Christian guy in his 30s. That is the problem. The problem is proclaiming one thing and actively deceiving your entire audience. I sure do hope that you experience real forgiveness in Jesus. We are rooting for you.
I flew from Seattle to Lubbock last week to see John in person. My cousin and I were so disappointed the show was canceled 😢
So glad he bounced back!
John! I didn't know someone tried to cancel you, you're awesome!
His eyes are two different colors. That is pretty rare. Everyone is an individual, but as an open Christian, I did expect him to live a moral life, as I expect it of my boys and my girl and myself. I did feel let down and disappointed. I hope he is sincere in his repentance and can move forward.
This is a story of redemption! People want to say that as Christians we should be above sin and when we commit sin we are somehow worse than a non-Christian who commits sin. That’s so far from truth. ALL of us sin, that’s why we need grace. This is a story of an imperfect human living in the flesh, like we all do, and realizing that he is imperfect. The key is he did something about it. He turned it around. Not to say he will be perfect, again, no one is. But, “let he that is without sin cast the first stone”. I think if you’re a Christian and you’re casting stones at Jon, you need to check up! Proud of him
John Crist 👏👏👏
Funny comedian, comedy.
His recent special is smart and funny! But his BEST was talking about Portland .. IN Portland. All true and very funny.
His videos are awesome.
he was cancelled because he was acting like the world while claiming to be of God
Love both of them so much!
There is a difference in being "canceled" and being "called out".
I'm disappointed that John used this interview to walk the line between appealing to the world and keeping his christian base happy. He knows he's speaking to an unsaved person who doesn't understand how holy God is and helps him downplay his sins. John certainly seems unrepentant when he agrees with her, and plays his behavior off as being normal worldly behavior. This proves his apology message that he made at his comeback was insincere. And then won't give God the glory for bringing him out of that?! He seems ashamed of his faith. John is hysterical and I love to laugh, but I'm afraid he has knowledge of Christian culture to base his comedy on without a personal relationship with the savior.
He is specifically referencing her question, how is what he did it different from the norm & does that show the hypocrisy of cancel culture? The question wasn't about whether what he did was not that bad or ok - its that its par for the course sadly and he was canceled most likely due to having any affiliation with Christianity. He repeatedly said he owned his mistakes and blamed no one but himself.
@@orphanedhanyou But did he get canceled by his secular network, or by his Christian base? His christian platform means he's held to a different standard by his base than secular celebrities, and he'll be "canceled" when he violated Biblical standards.
He's very funny, but I think your concerns are valid for him spiritually. "Jesus answered him, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.' ”
Between him and God. Seems in any case, your concerns, the concern you seem to be carrying are not guaranteed merited. At ease, if it makes you, and him, and her. 🤗
Please do not let this keep you from pursuing a relationship with Jesus. A true relationship with God will look like genuine conviction from the Holy Spirit, love for the lost (regardless of political status), and glorifying God over glorifying self. Jesus came for you! Do not pass up the greatest gift because of them.
I always loved how his comedy is clean. I can listen to it with my mom and not be Uncomfy lol
"I did change my Life"...I TUNED IN...and best choice I ever made...Luv ya John...keep us laughing bud...
All people fail even Christians. It is not what you did, but it shows your character how you handle the failure.
He turned his life around for his betterment. I will not condemn him because I have things that I failed at and learned to pick myself up to be a better person.
We all have rough seasons! His was just in the light of the public. Respect for him for how he has bounced back and taken ownership. THAT says a lot about his character.
I still love John Crist!
this interview is really upsetting. he doesn't even seem sorry for what he did
His skit acting is so believable that I feel like I'm seeing the real John Crist for the first time despite seeing his videos many times. What did he get cancelled for?
Being a hypocritical Christian (she brought up texting & dming women, he brought up drinking, addiction to social media). They already hate Christians, being able to point at a perhaps "more imperfect" person and claim "see! Christianity doesn't 'work', they are still bad people" is their favorite game.
Having multiple sexual encounters.
I was intrigued by the subject line "Right laughing at itself". I'm glad they explained their perspective. I guess everyone sees things from their own experience. I suppose that the fact it was the headline reflects that this was intended to stand out?
Noooo sir. “This sounds like something every guy in their 30s would do.” 😳 really?? He STILL gives me the ick. I won’t ever listen to him again. Can’t trust him. AND & he doesn’t give God credit?! Whaaaat???
Megan, it's not the "left" who's paying massive defamation cases... Stop with the division.
Love John
Will someone, please interview Rosanne? They broke her.
Candace Owens interviewed her a few years ago.
Roseanne is living in Hawaii. She was/is is on TH-cam. Smoking pot and happy.
Rosanne was definitely fired for the right reason after she called Valerie Jarrett's mother who is black an ape. And if anyone thinks that's okay go up to the nearest black man and say that while not being in a controlled environment. Otherwise keep comments like that to yourself.
I agree. Rosanne was absolutely destroyed for making one stupid statement. It sickens me to see the show she started with her name continued without her. Shame on all of them. It should've been just an apology and the show goes on. Our society makes saints out of criminals, defends violent riots, promotes racism against one race, but a person makes one dimb statement and is treated like they comiitted genocide. I'll never understand.
@@manny.3248 Not accurate. Roseanne didn't even know the lady was black.
I've never heard of this guy. I'm only getting a vague understanding of his behavior from this clip, but it does seem like he was a hypocrite. So, if he recognized that and changed his ways, good.
He’s actually evolved from his first “personality”
My thoughts.
I love how theyre trying to justfy his behavior because he's a 'young man'. Please, he was in his 30s a supposed Christian who got cocky and as a result God took away his blessing, period.
Great to hear John's story. God bless him.
Hi Jon, Didn't know that you were canceled, glad that you're back, though!
We are all sinners, so it's not a surprise to me that John was struggling with his own. We are also all hypocrits as well, and it's not surprising to me that John was one too. Jesus Christ, if we allow him, can change those sins to learning and growth and "return beauty for ashes."
Megan Kelly: "Dur dur... I don't understand why you got "cancelled"? I don't understand what you did...?"
With a look of puzzlement on her face, lol.
And then she, a woman, downplays that he treated women like crap and was a total hypocrite to his faith community.
If Crist didn't want to live a Christian lifestyle, he shouldn't've built his career around Chrisitanity or his faith. It's pretty simple. Not a big mystery.
No person in church is perfect. That’s the point. We go because we are aware we need God. Even Pastor’s have their own personal demons to deal with. Jon isn’t God. He’s a comedian. Grace him out 🙏🏼
it's a tragedy that Christians are so cavalier with their mortal sins
I know right. I was waiting for her to call him out on it and him to talk about how wrong it was---- but they quickly glided through it. And she excused texting married women in the pursuit of an affair as just something "all young man" do. Most man I know his age are faithful married with children. I believe in redemption and 2nd chances---- but I'm seeing no repentence.
"mortal" sins.. All sins will condemn you to hell. All sins were paid for by Jesus, so only the sin of rejection of that sacrifice will condemn you to hell. Many Christians don't understand the Gospel and have made gods of their own faith instead of Jesus himself. There is no condemnation, but a warning here.
I've been a believer for 31 years; I was thinking I trusted Jesus, but I realize now my acceptance isn't based on my sin or lack thereof, it's based on my belief in and acceptance of what God says about me and He says I'm worth dying for. He lives in me and he will never leave me or forsake me. Every sin is washed in the blood of the lamb.
Do your best, accept your faults and live your best life under grace.
Grace and Peace

The question wasn't about whether what he did was not that bad or ok - its that its par for the course sadly and he was canceled most likely due to having any affiliation with Christianity.

Being cancelled by my son 2 years ago has changed my life by driving me to a place of learning and introspection I simply was not capable of going to before he used that "tool" of his mental health counseling trade on me, his toxic, narcissistic, controlling mother. After much repenting, all private as he has not allowed any contact during this time, I finally feel ready to not just listen to him, but HEAR and SEE him and begin to exercise empathetic love not just in my relationship with him and my daughter in law, but with everyone I meet. I have done a lot of dying to self since that cancellation 2 years ago, but as I am filled with the very much alive Holy Spirit and know God has never cancelled me and never will, this very painful steel rod of discipline has been wrapped in the silky, velvety softness of His love and has produced joy unspeakable. God will use anything to mold and shape His children into the image He created us to be, the image of Christ. I want never again to interfere with the Potter. No more kicking against the goads! My son and daughter in law reached out just yesterday and will be initiating our first virtual video communication this coming Wednesday. My task is to listen and receive without defending myself, without gaslighting, throwing shade, trying to wrest control of the conversation. I believe in a God who CAN and DOES change us. Time to test that faith.
Wow your post made me cry. I've been told by Christian counselors to cut my mother off....I understand why but she is 80 yrs old and I am an only child... If my mom wrote what you posted and actually meant it...well, it would be the thing I've always wanted for her and for us together. I have trusted The Lord and it really is something only He can accomplish in our lives. You're words gave me hope to keep believing, thank you!
@@kimberleyhampton1110 She is so close to meeting her Maker! Have you ever written down the hurts and wrongs she has committed against you, how her behavior or words have affected you, etc.? If she is a believer, it really is on her to hear you out, but she could still be so fearful herself that she doesn't realize how she has pushed you away with her own insecurity which translates into drama. And so she erupts when you try to confront? Your counselors may be correct that cutting her off both emotionally and possibly physically is the thing to do IF you've already confronted her honestly more than once to no avail. All she can do then is turn to God, under Whose loving discipline she needs to surrender, no matter how "old" she is. We are all still children of our Heavenly Father! But if she is not a believer, I beg you not to cut her off physically, but instead to continue to pour out grace and mercy but pour all your emotional energy into Christ who is your Strength. Waste no more of that energy on her except in private prayer. If she turns, you can praise God for the miracle. God be with you precious one!
What a beautiful testimony. This is a miracle. God bless your relationship to your family and continue to do good work in you. I'm praying for you and your family and your healing. 🙏
I would love an update. Watching God do miracles is the best thing.
@@juliabarrios318 UPDATE! We had the meeting via zoom (I fasted 3 days to listen to the Lord on this and knew the only thing to do through this meeting was listen and agree to everything they shared with me, whether I liked it, believed they had the story straight, or NOT) and so I did. It hurt to hear many of the things they told me - they each read from a pre-written, carefully worded statement to me with my husband beside me in the zoom call) and asked if I had questions and asked if I could agree to their terms going forward. I said I might have questions later after contemplating and praying on all this, but that for now I heard them and agree with the validity of everything they have expressed as it comes from their experience and their hearts and that I am deeply sorrowful for having brought us all to the place of needing this separation but I am very thankful they are willing to give us a new chance at building a healthy relationship. A couple weeks later I had another FaceTime meeting with my daughter in law where I was able to gently explain some things I was going through and feeling which led to a few of the major difficulties she experienced with me, and we were able to get past all that and define together in agreement what forgiveness means. She had been under the impression that when someone asks "Will/Do you forgive me?" they are asking you to forget it ever happened. I assured her I know that is impossible and unreasonable and what I am asking is "Will you allow me to begin anew/will you give me another chance?" which I believe is what Jesus meant by forgiving one's brother seventy times seven times. She agreed. My son and I have not had a good sit-down conversation and I don't expect us to have that any time soon. But the love is there, the hugs are back, and we just enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving gathering together with my other 2 sons and the grandkids. God is good. I am a better person for all of this, a better voice/piano teacher and children's choir director, a better friend, a better wife, a better grandma since having learned these lessons.
I'm so glad I was raised Republican. Democrats seem so miserable 😖 I start my day smiling,every day has joy in it. I smile at everyone, especially the people who look mad,I try and compliment something about them,it usually works,and I get a smile back.
Canceled??? When? What?!
I don’t know what happened and when but according to the comments he apologized for whatever it was so…
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32
Put your stones away people. Let us pray for our brother, bc we are Christians. They will know we are Christians by our love ❤
Well done!
All things work together for good, to them who love God, to them that are the called according to His purpose.
