THE TRUTH ABOUT SEX, SHAME & YOUR PAST | Part 3

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- WE'RE SO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS I CAN BASICALLY TASTE IT! (is that a hint to future cooking with Chad Episodes???) who knows. I mean really. I don't. lol Anyways, I have something (hopefully) good to share with yall this morning...
I was listening to a sermon this morning and the pastor said something that hit like a ton a bricks. He said the "most dangerous aspect of your relationships is not your weakness, but your delusions of strength. Self-reliance is almost always a component of a bad relationship.” Now-a-days everything that we see and read is about "self help" or live "your" truth etc. And I'm not hating on the Tony Robins, Gary V's, and "motivational speaker pastors" but i think we are falling into a dangerous trap if those messages are the only we allow in. Yeah sure, "only the strong survive" but when, as christians, do we do things the way the world wants? Was it when Sarah was well above birth giving age that we gave up on her? Or was it David's small stature that made us write him off as not a warrior? or how about Jesus riding into town on a donkey and then crowned with thorns that we denied him because He didn't appear as the world wanted him to appear on a brilliant stallion with a crown of gold and gems. Somewhere along the line it became wrong to be "weak" and because of that our reliance of God to be our strength devolves to we just didn't work hard enough. Or we weren't _______(fill in the blank) enough. Our delusion of strength will keep us from fulfillment more than our weakness will. Let's not lean on our own understanding but let's look to God in ALLLLLLLLLLLL things and He will make our path straight.

This is the number of people who also love & appreciate Tori and Chad 💙
I guess we are adding to the people who appreciate us... hahahah
@@ToriAndChad hahaha, welcome to the squad hey.

"Stop cheating on your future with your past." Wow, that hit me. That feels like something I've been doing unconsciously from habit or self-preservation. Love you both 🙏🏼❤️
Probably both! We love you, Carol!
Deeppp
this is exactly what i needed to hear in this moment. God is definitely moving through you guys 🥺🤍
Aww thanks for saying that, Madeline!
I love that you both don't shy away from being vulnerable and open, it's such a rare thing to see a couple be open and vulnerable with people they don't know. God has such incredible plans for you and the mandate on your lives is so huge and I am so excited to see God use your lives to impact generations, ya'll are world changers and I pray that your love for Jesus, your love for each other, and others just continues to grow and become stronger!
I have gained so much perspective through watching you and my life has been impacted because you were obedient when God told you to create this channel!!
So honoured to be in the community 💛
Aww we are so happy you are with us, Whitney! It is such a special group of people... we are in shock to be perfectly honest hahah Thanks for praying for us!
You are a blessing to the young generation🙏🏻 love you guys
You are a blessing to us!!!
She is a blessing for me!❤️
Soooo agreeee!!!
As a perfectionist, the quote, "perfection was only met by our savior Jesus. I was never meant to wear that banner," HIT me
"Guilt and conviction should lead to a behavioral change, not shame." It's an invitation to come into the light, to Jesus.
There is nothing else like this out there, and I love your mission to be vulnerable and deal with topics that are usually awkward and bring a good honest light to them. I have struggled my whole life with the constant pattern of sin, guilt, shame, and then sin again while feeling sick to my stomach but choosing to do it anyway. I realized as you (Tori) shared what you wrote at the beginning of the video that I have never seen myself as white as snow. How could I, as sinful and terrible as I am, be white as snow? The grace of the Lord is more than words!! Hallelujah, what a Savior! Thank you so much for all you do and for being willing to be vulnerable with the world!
guys i have to thank you for talking about these topics, you’re the only youtubers ive seen out there they go into so many details about possible situations !! thank you😭❤️
Thank you Tori for sharing your story. There are somethings I have been struggling with that happened in my past that reoccurs in my thoughts every new year that I go through. Starting today I am on my journey to not let that shame be there forever. Have a blessed day and stay safe.
WOWO SO powerful! SO happy you are having chains broken. Gal 5:1. Don't listen to the enemy! 2 Tim 1:7
Just wanted to say that you two have had a huge influence on me in my Journey with Christ 🙏 Thank you so much!
Aww thank you very kindly!!!
Thank you for being so willing and humble to pour your hearts out to your viewers. I feel like a sponge soaking up your wisdom in every video. God has truly given you guys a gift. ❤️
Aww that's super kind of you to say! You are a gift to us!
@@ToriAndChad ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Tori, it has to be the Holy Spirit, because I just came accross your channel yesterday, but I literally feel you like a sister. I am sitting here crying with you. Tori, I can quote Psalm 34:4-5 in two languages and I knew it for years. But I guess it had to be today and it had to be your open vulnerable heart crying with me for all the words to completely sink in. I can't even tell you why I am crying so hard, but the only thing I can compare it with is how I felt when I got saved. Like these tears are cleansing somehow and a weight is lifting off me. Thank you. I wrote once in my journal something that the Lord spoke to my heart "You will never step out bravely without Me honouring that." That's what I feel you did in this video. I am part of the fruit of your tears and honesty. May our Father bless you richly. Thank you, sis.❤
Tori and Chad this video is such a blessing, Tori thank you for pouring out your heart. I really needed to hear this, I'm going to be working on really *knowing* I'm not made to be living in shame, guilt or condemnation. So thankful for the scriptures shared also. Psalms 32:1-2 is one I haven't read in the NLT translation and it's been so powerful.God is so good. His joy is so clear. God bless you both.
God bless you!! Thank you for the support!!
Wow I really needed to hear this... The shame and guilt definitely came from my boyfriend, who never accepted the fact that I had a past, and that I had sexual relationships before him. I know that doesnt define me, because I know God loves me no matter what, he knows my heart, and knows the kind of person that I am. Thank you so much for this video. This felt like a message sent directly from Him. I hope one day I can find someone who treats himself with Grace and therefore if able to extend that Grace to me too. So powerful!
This video is so encouraging as a teenage girl. Thank you so much for your exemple of a authentic christian 🤍
Aww of course, Maria!
6 min in and I was crying. I don´t have the past you have, but i had to deal and have to deal with so much perversion in thoughts and I am on the road to Healing and God is leading me to freedom so graciously and lovingly. He is such a good Father! Love him
in September i started an intenional Year of singleness and God has used it so much already to heal and i didn´t even notice how I slowly started to heal. He is so good.
Thank you for these Videos. They help so much. God is using you both so much!! Thank youu
So nice of you to say all of that! And thank you for sharing you are also on the road to healing.. Love tha you are healing so much!!!
Tori and Chad Masters thank you!! All Glory to God!! May he bless you ❤️❤️❤️
“Stop cheating on your future with you past, it’s Over” 🙌Chillsss!
I love this series thank you guys❤️
Amen to that!!!! We love that you love it!!
Hello from a 20 year old South African in Germany and getting married in April to the German man of my dreams. Please make a video on the honeymoon phase and butterflies ending because I’m so passionate about it that people learn love is a commitment and not a feeling.
yes that video is so needed....
We have definitely touched on it in several videos but it deserves a full video!
@@ToriAndChad I’m going to look for those videos now. I love hearing people talk about this and I am definitely looking forward to it having its own video in the future. Thank you for making videos ❤️🌼
yay!!!! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Wow! I'm actually a German living in South Africa 😊
Thank you for this video. I personally struggle with thoughts of my future . My boyfriend died suddenly almost 3 years ago. He was the love of my life. I am finding peace and connection to God and I accept I may be single forever. Yet it is still challenging, because i want so badly to have a loving, Godly relationship like I had, and I refuse to settle for less. I get scared it may never happen. If you have any words of encouragement or prayer, I'd really appreciate it.
Oh my goodness... we are so sorry to hear that, Theresa... Honestly I'm not sure words will help in this moment... but know we will be covering you in prayer. For comfort, for strength, for healing, to be able to kick the enemy back when you feel him attacking you, and for so so so much more. Remember God does not work in the spirit of FEAR... but in the Spirit of Power, of Love and of Sound Mind... So if you are feeling fearful about things like this, it is NOT God speaking to you. It is the enemy...We love you
Thank you so much. Your words help. And it helps to know you are praying. I appreciate you guys. Sending you so much love
Wow, this was awesome. I felt the anointing, y’all are very educated and spirit led! I took communion while listening to this, thank y’all! Keep going, keep flowing, and keep Jesus’s love!
Thanks fo the love, Blake! It means a lot!
What a great way to start my morning, watching this video! To be honest, I didn't realize that I was carrying some of the baggage of insecurities that has been on my mind (but buried) until you, Tori, asked us to write down some things that we are hiding in the dark. Now that they're out in the light, I actually feel lighter, knowing that I shared them with God and that I shared them in hopes to conquer them.
Thank you, Tori and Chad, for sharing your testimonies and being vulnerable! I look forward to the next video!!
I don't think we ever realize it unless we know what to look for! Aww very happy you shared with God!
"God has never loved me more than in this moment" ❤️❤️❤️
This is only the second video I've watched of you guys and clicked onto it on a whim. I've been feeling the Holy Spirit speak to me giving me a word to something and everything you guys literally said was just a confirmation of that word from God. You guys are amazing and are truly going to impact so many with your vulnerability and openness about Jesus ❤️❤️
You guys have such pure hearts. Tori, you're such a beautiful woman. You both are so blessed to have each other. Thank you for being such a blessing and inspiration to me and to all of us! Love you guys!
That's so sweet of you to say, Elana!!! Thank you for being so sweet to us and supporting us! We love you!
I needed this so so much, I have been absolutely crushed under the weight of lies, guilt, and shame lately nonstop. Your words and the scriptures touched me so I took a moment to pray and confess toward the end of the video and felt inner peace. thank you for your kindness and honesty! God is so good to us, may He bless you both!
"White as snow" 😭😭😭 Tori!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! 😭😭😭. I need to do a daily meditation on this for the week. Thank you so, so much.
Good guilt vs bad guilt, this is powerful. I think we need to distinguish this more and understand that there is a place for healthy guilt. It shows that your human with a conscious that is still alive which is a good thing.
Yes couldn't agree more with the idea of the good guilt!
I'm obsessed with analogies, so the fact you always speak in them just blows my mind! I'm gonna call it, Chad-nalogies. xD
hahahah Let's coin that as a phrase!
I cried with what you shared at the start. I can’t see myself white as snow as God does, and girl, I just wanted to give you a hug because I feel that too 💙
Aww we are crying with you!
Man I so needed to hear this today! Tori and Chad Masters you guys are such a blessing and God is definitely moving with you two, keep it up!
I broke down crying after this video, Chad I can definitely relate to you in some areas and it is nice to not feel alone!
Thank you man!
Thank you Tori for what you shared, that was such a huge uplifting encouragement to me! God bless you both!🙌❤️
I love you two , you are such a blessing.You can truly tell that you both have a deep love for the Lord and each other.Chad I love the way you look at Tori with such love when she's speaking, and she does the same to you.I have grandchildren and great grandchildren that I will share you guys with.I was scrolling through TH-cam and ran across you and I love you.You make it fun , and you guys are so good at taking God's word and using it in such a simple way that even a child could understand how to use it in our daily walk with him.Thank you both.❤
Thank you! Really! For your honesty, for being so open about your past and also to the Holy Spirit, leading you both to share wisdom and truth. Thanks for being so real.
I really appreciate you!
Lots of love from Germany. 🖤
Thank you for being willing to watch!!! We love you! Danke Schon!
Thank you so much for this video! You guys are definitely doing God's work through these videos. I am beyond grateful to have found you a long time ago. I love everything that you've been doing lately. Thank you for being a blessing!
Very sweet of you to support us like that!
Chad casually drinking out of Gabe's Grace Coffee cup... I see you!
hahah gotta support my boy!
I’m so happy I found you guys. I love your love for each other and the advice and videos you post. This was one I really needed to hear. As I struggle with holding to disappointment from relationships. And then them saying I carry baggage from
My old relationship to my new one. With out the intention of doing so even after years of learning to forgive and heal. It’s been such a shameful thing cause I want a long lasting, beautiful relationship sent from god.
the head to heart of knowing something makes so much sense.
i didn't really wanna see this...but it was well said guys.
with plenty of Word of God too.
So happy that made sense to you!!!
I loved listening to this! That I’m a daughter of the King who loves me. I need to write these verses down to remind me of the truth! It’s just nice to know we are not alone in these feelings.
Chad, when you talked about guilt and shame it reminded me of a song called No Shame by Tenth Avenue North (one of my favourite bands second to for King and Country)
Aww I love that! I'm going to check it out now!
This is such fire 🔥 😍 I've been redeemed for trauma, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, etc. God is so good!
YES YOU HAVE!
Amen😊😊
Glory to God 🙏😍
Okay. I cried this entire video. Thank you
Hello Chad and Tori. I’ve only just started watching your videos but I sincerely thank you for your videos. You’re a safe space for me.
Shame is such a huge part of my life. I was conceived in shame. My family punished me for my existence because I was a mistake and I’ve just had so much bullying, neglect etc in my life I have been constantly filled with shame from the inside.
Then I met Jesus and was full of the spirit and did well for a while and then was placed in such a horrible environment that I was trapped in, I went back to old ways and shame hit me again. Then all the people I had loved on and showed the love of Jesus to the best of my ability for 8 years have now brought up my past and shame is so strong, I am getting in a big hole.
I also have gone through so much trauma in my life, I wake up and have woken up most days on survival mode. It’s been hard to trust the Lord, especially trusting myself, family, friends and men.
You spoke about confession breaking shame but I believe there are things done to me at a young age I don’t remember, so how can I overcome this? I have such fears of getting close to anyone, even God. I have such fears of men, of family, of myself. I don’t know how to overcome and I haven’t found a safe spiritual home I can.
I also feel I have been open and transparent in church and have often felt judged and pushed out because of it. I haven’t always been treated well. I really am in a place of absolute loss. I thank you for your loving approach to biblical Truths.
I desperately ant my future but am so afraid to put myself out there again, when I’ve tried there has been so much resistance or I fall for the lies or fears I have about getting close to people. I even have commitment issues and get afraid to lose control. Some issues are so ridiculous but as Tori rightfully said. A lot of the meaningful words people tell me don’t reach my heart. There is such a barrier.
I do hope and believe I will have a marriage like yours. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. It means a lot.
Xxxxxxx
Ok I’m a complete mess 😭 love your honesty and the way you communicate Jesus’ love for us despite our short comings. Thank you
This is SUCH an encouraging video! You guys are being used so powerfully by the Lord! I know that so many people are growing because of your example...myself included! 💕
Aww thank you for the love!!! You are so kind!
These videos are my favorite. So much to learn from here. Really felt like God spoke to me through this. Thank you guys!❤️
Aww that means so much!
So thankful for yall! I feel like I am in the middle of a pruning/healing season so this video could not have come at a better time! I have a lot of things in my past I am trying to get past! Things that have been done to me, and things I have done. I know and am so thankful for God's forgiveness and grace but I totally related to what Tori mentioned about the distance between our minds and our hearts! It's like I know these things but I guess sometimes my heart doesn't fully believe it... It's one thing for our minds to understand it but another thing for our heart to understand and accept it.
Thanks for all you do! I do not have a great male influence in my life right now. My parents are divorced and my dad has been struggling for a while...and I am single with multiple failed relationships. I have learned to appreciate this season though! I guess I just want to thank you for sharing your marriage up here! It is helping me see how a Godly man loves his wife. It is encouraging to see that when two people are running towards God marriage works.
Thanks again! Love you both!
Aww that means so much!!! And you're so right how it is a totally different thing from understanding with our minds versus our hearts!
Joy is like a muscle. You have to flex it to make it become beneficial or helpful.
this kinda relates, kinda doesn’t and it’s not necessarily faith related but my communications class talks about how our emotions are based on our interpretations of events, not the events itself, i thought was interesting and it is something to think about :)
Yes that makes so much sense... a car crash can happen and you can hear so many different details about that based on where the witnesses saw the accident. POV matters
I want to thank you for this video. For a background, without a doubt God led me to my current boyfriend/future husband. We are 14 hours away from each other and the distance has been tough, but easier with God. The problem is that when we get together we have so much love and connection towards one another, even feeling it deep in our souls, that despite going into the relationship wanting to remain celibate we fail every single time. This has caused us so much guilt and shame and repentance and saying "no more" but it happens anyway. At one point it was "we are going to marry each other anyway so why not..." but we have since been convicted. Next year I want to move to the same state as him, but have been struggling with the fear that we will be unable to keep the commitment to God of celibacy especially since we have already crossed that line. It makes me want to rush into marriage, but I recognize that's a horrible reason to do so. When you read off 2 Timothy 1:7 I suddenly felt more at peace. I shouldn't focus on how hard it will be and be fearing about the temptation, I should be focusing on God and keeping a sound mind. I know the battle isn't over yet for us, but content like this is a helpful reminder that it can be possible.
Love all of this! Stay tuned for our boundaries videos coming next series and hopefyully they will help with this!
Wow this was sent to me DIRECTLY from God! As someone who has dealt with years of sexual abuse and harassment and knows the feelings of shame all too well, this video told me just what I needed to hear. Thank you two for doing this, you are impacting lives 💗
Aww wow... thanks for being so strong! Proud of you!
this was phenomenal Tori! I have never felt called to Bible study or anything but legit wanna come to yours right now! lol like continue let the Lord flow through you and teach me :)
This is one of my favorite episodes. Its so relevant to me now and I need this truth sooo much to save myself from the past
As a person with a bad past, this video really really did help me to get my thoughts straight. I'm still in the process of recovering and moving on from my past, and from how it has affected my present. The points you guys highlighted really spoke to my heart and calmed my mind. And for the first time I feel like I deserve a second chance and that I can be a better person.
You both just appeared on my feed today out of nowhere and I strongly believe that it's a sign from God! Love you both and thank you for sharing things openly. People like you both are truly a blessing! You both are strong and amazing souls! Much love 💕
Bro, thats exactly what happen to me with my girl:') i told her that i had problems with porn and she didnt condemn me, she accepted me and showed me the love of Christ and know im free🤍 and im helping her to heal her sexual past in God, because we are all made new in Christ, only Jesus can make all things new😭❤️🤍🍃
Y’all are such a big blessing in my life! Thank you for helping me grow in my faith! ❤️
Aww you are a blessing in our life!
Thank you so much for this. You honestly don’t know how much I needed to hear it. Thank you for being vulnerable and open, while just letting Holy Spirit lead you xx
Aww thanks for saying that!!
Thank you for this timely message. The words from Mathew 11:28-30 always brings so much joy to my heart: my yoke is easy and my burden is light. May God bless both of you, you’re such an amazing couple. I see the kingdom of God in your union filled with so much grace and understanding 💕
Aww so happy it was a timely message!
Tori, I just have to say, you have such a beautiful and pure spirit. I love how passionate you are about Jesus and that you and Chad are showing such a godly example of purity and love. Honestly, these videos are restoring my hope for a godly marriage in the future 💖
You are so kind! So happy you are on this journey with us!
Loved the amazing message as well as the powerful description paragraph written underneath.
Aww thanks for taking the time to read that!
False guilt, there’s guilt that doesn’t need to be there that you are letting dig roots in your hearts. That, is not from God.
Amen❤️
"you can't give what you don't have.' WOWOWOW
hahah glad you like that!
I think self-control and a sound mind are often linked or even the same thing. :)
AAA yay I’m earlyy!! I’ve been waiting for this & so excited to watch thiss🥰💜
Hope it helps!!!
@@ToriAndChad it actually really helps so much in the time being. Just finished watching it again for the second time (but I've downloaded your vid so it's not stopping at twice =D). I can't thank you enough for bringing so much joy to my life! Thank you for keeping a beautiful heart & for sharing the love of Christ to us! thank you for being my blessing tonight---and just to make it clear, as my dad says, "a blessing is simply anything/anyone that brings us closer to God." Hearing you speak and watching your videos has always left me bringing my heart closer to love Jesus more and more again because I can truly see the reflection of God's amazing, transforming and unconditional love to His children through you two!! may God always bless you and use you two to bring more precious souls to the light!!! Thank God for your existence
Cool ideas! The verses especially! And that jingle at the end :DD.
awww hahah Thank you!
Okay, I'm only 8 minutes in and I'm already crying!
1st- Yes! We need a cooking with Chad Christmas edition. Also, LOVE that I made it into one of your videos because of the tiny hands and merch!
2nd - My past is so different from others as I've experienced trauma for years. You know 2020 has been incredibly uncomfortable BUT I wouldn't trade it for the world because I can finally say, after 9 years, I've healed from the pain of my past. Now, I've been very fortunate because the bulk of that healing came in the last 3 years when I got serious about taking steps toward dealing with all the ugliness. I feel like forgiveness is never easy but it definitely is easier when you've done something wrong. My scenario is unique in that I was truly blameless. Just being born put me in my situation and the perpetrators refuse to admit they've done anything wrong. IN FACT, they blame me and have heaped shame on my head for years.
You know, if you would've asked me last year, I would've told you that I was healed and that I'd forgiven those who abandoned, hurt, and belittled me. Little did I know that satan had taken the pain of my past and was still using it as a weapon to keep me from walking in freedom and making an impact for the Kingdom. He didn't want me to be healed because he knew my testimony would become that much more powerful and God would be glorified. It was just this year that I was challenged to seek the face of God and EVERYTHING CHANGED!!!
I finally felt led by the Spirit to speak up for myself and I was immediately released from my past! My past had built up a wall around my heart that I didn't realize was there until God broke it down and replaced the fear, depression, anxiety, and pain with overwhelming peace, joy, forgiveness, and freedom. I know my journey isn't over but I can step out in victory knowing that the Lord is good and sovereign!! It only took 23 years and 2 months but I finally feel like I'm the woman I was created to be and I can't help but tell everyone about what the Lord can do for you in just a few months when you hitch a wagon to HIS agenda and not your own!
For those who are still with me - Know that God is bigger than any pain your past has to offer! Seek Him and you will find Him when you seek Him with ALL of your heart (Jer. 29:13)! Let my story be a testament of that.
Also, Tori - I did the same thing with Scripture. The enemy loves to get into our heads and thoughts but I would have to call out the lie and replace it with Truth which is even more powerful. It was a HUGE help! I've experienced those attacks and actually still do. Every time I have a breakthrough with God, the enemy tries to pull me down but I can confidently say that I'm no longer afraid because God has the victory!
I know that was all a lot but simply stated - Thank you guys for doing this, sharing truth, and inspiring us all to live for God!!
Wow. This is so powerful. Thank youi for sharing all of this.. woah. Thank you for inspiring us!
Wow! Very inspiring. God uses our life story to perfect our testimony.
@@melodymercy5681 That He does! Thanks for reading Melody. Hope you are well :)
@@jess1ic5a I am well. I believe you are too.
I am a 64-year-old never-married single adult, but every video from you guys speaks to me in some way. Thank you.
God bless you ❤
YES! The enemy is such a big big accuser and it makes me so sad how most people don't even know that. The verse about "No shadow of shame will darken their faces" oof.. I'm gonna put that on a little sticky note above my bed
hahah I need to do the same to be honest!
@@ToriAndChad eventhough we might hear it a lot, we still tend to forget truth 😬
I'm getting married August 28th, and I came across you guys bc I was watching wedding videos and your wedding video came up(which was beautiful and inspiring btw), but then all these videos started to come up and I've veered off of wedding stuff now and the past 3 hours straight I have been sitting here watching you two, and all I can say is you have spoken directly to me, and to my heart, I want to find the lord again, I want to be forgiven, and I want my fiancé and I to live a life full of joy and have a marriage as healthy and loving as yours. I've been facing some real struggles lately in my head, and questioning a lot of things/ decisions, one big one in particular, and I really could use your advice/help with it. Like I said, it's like you guys were meant to be talking directly to me tonight, or I was SUPPOSED to come across your channel tonight for a reason, I truly believe this, I know it in my heart. What is the best most private way I can share with you my question/ problem I guess you could call it? I just trust your guys' advice whole heartedly, bc I know it would coming from a non judgmental place and you guys know God's word and his message and I think you would know exactly the right advice to give me, and I'm at a pivotal time in my life, I'm staring down two roads...I would love to be able to write my story down the short version I guess lol (bc I DO have quite a "story" ) my life sometimes feels like a movie or story 😔 sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for not great reasons...but anyway I just don't want it publicly posted, so is there an email address or someway I can get advice that I so desperately need from you guys, (like I said I know this was destiny, or fate, or God's will, SOMETHING that I've been needing)...you guys are my answered prayers (yes I do pray when things are really bad, I pray that they will stop and things will go back to normal) ...(You will understand more after you know the whole story) ...but please hear me, please listen to me, please, I graciously will accept any answer / advice I get from you afterwards! 🙏Thank you so much I'm advanced! Btw u guys are HILARIOUS also...I laughed,, and cried SOOOOO much in the past few hours its crazy! You guys are 👌awesome 🥰😇🤣🤍🙏
its wild how God times things. I decided I wanted to journal for a year. today will be day 3. last night I literally wrote down about how I felt I didn't deserve things even though I "know" that it isnt in God's character to keep me from me desires I have in life. these thoughts come from shame...I just love how you talked about this topic and how it really resonated with me. like you said, working on our issues, doesn't go away with just one prayer or overnight. thankyou for taking the time to speak about this.
also just happen to stumble upon you two a couple days ago and have loved your content💗
Thank you for sharing this, it helps a lot, and I am so happy to see that the Lord is using you both to help others overcome shame ✨ ! Be blessed ☺️ (and greetings from France 🇫🇷)
Please make a video on getting past your partners' past. I would really appreciate some advice on this topic. Love you guys! Thank you for all the great work that y'all do!
We will share a little bit on that in our next part of this series! But I mean one quick thing I would say in regards to that is to remember that it's not you against your partner... They are a human, who probably has been hurt, who has done things they regret, and has issues (like we all do!). And we as their partner need to show them the same grace that Jesus shows us. I understand it's not that easy but remembering that you are not in their life to make them feel worse because you wish things we're different but you are in their life to reflect... now if their past continues to creep into your relationship that is a different story and we would recommend a counselor, and therapy etc... we totally believe in that stuff! But stay tuned for next weeks video on a topic similar!

“When the Holy Spirit hits”
*does sick Dubstep bass beat unintentionally*
hahahah seriously!!! hahah
Wish you a great weak?! Yes, I totally saw what you did there!!
Christmas though, you guys have to do a video showing us your Christmas decorations. It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Can't keep calm. Don't you think 2020 has totally flown though. I remember, I discovered your channel on 1st of this year, the same day I listened to the song "Known" by Tauren Wells. Oh well, that was a long unrelated rant!!!!!!!!
Love you both :)
HAHAHA YAY! Someone actually read that lolol. thank you for reading that! Can't wait to show more Christmas stuff!!! and wow! Cannot believe we have been in eachothers live for nearly a year! Amazing!!! We love you!
Awesome video guys, thanks so much for responding in obedience to the Holy Spirit. Tori, the tears tells a part of the story.

@@ToriAndChad Thanks!
"I am my Beloved's, and His desire is for me" Song of Songs 7:10
Love that!
SO beautiful and true!! Thankyou!
Thank you for the love!!!
This really spoke to my heart.
I may be the only one who received help in the particular way I did but I wanted to share with you. If we are willing to serve Jesus He can use our efforts for His glory.
So here it goes...
I try to live positive and not think negative and I really try NOT to focus on the point that I'm single but these are some of the areas i really need Jesus help me with daily. Honestly I have some struggles with entertaining the thoughts that the devil to bombards my mind with.. how I am "less than" and strongly tells me I'm "unlovable" and the devil constantly tries to convince me that I am SOO unlovable and less than that no man will ever truly love me.. something that the devil constantly bombards my mind with is that if a man did see me as attractive that once he got to know me for who I really am and how imperfect I am.. and ..knowing that will drive him away. Some may say well if you know it's the devil telling you those things then why do you think on them .. but I feel this deals directly with giving the fear, questions, anxiety, depression and other things that may develop from the thoughts the devil puts in ours minds or what others may say to Jesus AND giving/letting Jesus have the unknown!! He's in control!. Realizing that I AM a DAUGHTER of the KING is transforming my life.. I can look at the devil and say I Am Precious, I Am Priceless and I Am a daughter of the King.. and its all because of JESUS. I am not what others say or the devil says I am ... I am loved, forgiven and treasured by Jesus and that's all that matters.
Thx to both of you for sharing what Jesus wanted you to say.. God helped me through you so thank you for being an instrument of His. ❤
WWOWOWOW love this so much That last part of this is so powerful!
@@ToriAndChad I recently found y'alls channel.. very glad I found you guys😁❤
That law movie example that Chad used is so good. 13:50
Proverbs 28:13 - He that covers his sins shall not prosper: But whoever confesses and forsakes them shall obtain mercy.
YES That is so good!
Wow!!! It’s not FOR redemption, it’s BECAUSE of redemption. That’s so powerful! It’s because of what HE did
Your videos are always so encouraging and helpful :’) + thank you both for being so honest and open - it really is a game changer because it sheds sooo much light! What was the sermon that you mentioned in the description (if you remember)? I’d love to listen to it too 🙌🏻
Here you go!

Thank you Chad and Tori, the grace and transparency of this video will bless and help so many I'm sure. 🙂👍
Chad you spoke about glory and its meaning. One of the first definitions of glory i think you will find is actually 'opinion' or 'to be of opinion' which is actually really telling and fascinating. When we are met with the astonishing reality of Gods opinion of us we have seen his glory. So, God's opinion of us shapes ours of him. We love because he first loved us. 🙂
Hope this thought is a blessing to you.
yeah that is powerful! Dang!!!
The overwhelming comfort is so strong. Thank you so much for being so encouraging and affirming about guilt and sin and how God doesn’t hold you to anything. He died to show us how valuable we are to Him. Keep making this content please, it is needed!💕
Wow, that was SO GOOD! Bless you both for preaching the truth and Gods word! You both were speaking to MEEEEEE! Lol dang I should at least take you guys out for coffee or something 💛
hahah we are just thankful to be on this journey with you!
I thank the Lord for you guys and your wisdom.♥️
Your boldness is inspiring
That means a lot! We posted part 4 today!
This was so encouraging and so uplifting! This got me fired up!! Thank you guys so much for putting yourselves out there and letting God use you in the way he has, you both are consistently such a blessing and encouragement! Also, Tori’s method of writing down the lie and finding a verse about it in scripture is so good and is backed up in two scripture verses!!
“In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
Ephesians 6:16 NIV
And romans 10:17 says, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
Romans 10:17 NIV
I loved the comment that the enemy is the accuser, but Jesus is our redeemer! The enemy can accuse us all day, but God nailed that shame to the cross when He redeemed us through Jesus! Sometimes I still have to remind myself that my sins are paid for, I don’t have to carry them with me anymore. God sees me as pure because of Jesus!
SUCH an encouraging video you guys, so thankful for you!
So So Awesome!!! Thank you both & May the Lord continue to bless you & yours always 🙏🏼❣️🕊✝️
Thank you guys! You’re such a huge help for me to grow in Christ!❤️
You are very very welcome!
Don’t you remember My cross?😭😭😭😭😭💙💙💙❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
