    "If you've given up on church, but haven't given up on God, this church is for you"
    Has to be one of the best church statements I've ever heard.

      I hoped someone from the church would comment, I loved this video, and hope it brought new seekers to your fellowship. I used to attending a fellowship with tattooed, homeless, people of color, a bit tattered, but it slowly became "just white" and it lost sooo much soul. This video reminded me of those days...protect what you have now.

      Oddly enough, there's a small town here called Ashville, Alabama. Saw some people outside walking around with horses in cowboy hats. Thought it was the strangest thing, But then thought it's probably filled with the most genuine and nice folks around.

      @blueskies382 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@saffronandclove No, that is a misleading. I suggest you look into Ishtar and what they did at the temples of Ishtar and Baal. It is very clear that God is against such things. People are confused today by the same spirits as written in the old testament. If you read Kings, God would continuously send Prophets to warn Israel they are stirring away from God and need to repent, go back to living as God had commanded. Young people today barely know anything of biblical scripture. You can be welcoming to people without putting symbolism that makes you look accepting of a certain lifestyle, so lets be honest and say that it is not true of this church, they are clearly affirming which makes them against God. A lifestyle and making mistakes are very different. Mistakes can be forgiven, but a lifestyle is something else entirely. If you want to make your church look welcoming at all, you can put that statement that they are, but make it clear the church is not for that lifestyle. If people get upset even though they attend that church which they believe is nice, the church is not the problem, it is them. In Corinthians, Paul would tell others they need to turn from their old ways. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't put a flag with alcohol on it outside of the church for example.

    I’ve actually been to a church in Japan and have a great story. Since we were white Americans, something they never saw in their church, they stopped the service randomly, made us stand so everybody could see us and wave. Then the pastor said a lot of stuff in Japanese, the congregation laughed, and nobody translated what they said about us, then motioned for us to sit down. 😂 Then, after the service, some people came over super excited and told us we HAD to meet someone. It was the ONLY other white person there and they introduced us like we should know each other since we were white and thought we’d be best friends because of our shared skin. Turns out, he was from Poland 😅 A great experience! 😂

    I’d go to Cowboy church. My former Charismatic church wanted $8 - $15 for lunch and $5 for cappuccino (twelve years ago). I’d watch my comfortable church friends eat while I was broke. When I was rostered on to work in the kitchen I was able to set aside a portion for myself but only at the end of the day (from leftovers) & no one had a portion until we set aside generous free portions for the pastors first.

    a church that promotes sin isn’t a church. Cowboy church is great. I attended one in whitney tx. Loved it. Church and food is happiness.

    I loved that the fellas didn't want to assume they were welcome to the potluck and were leaving and someone told them they weren't leaving on an empty stomach. That's what church should be about.

    I'm from NC. I've followed John for a long time . His humor about Church is fabulous. You have to watch him talking to himself in the parking lot before Church lol but this duo was amazing !!! I laughed the entire time lol loved the Cowboy Church ! Used to be a member of the Church that had to find you the empty seats (sometimes with a flashlight). Praise God wherever he leads you and take your friends to try out another Church. God has a place for you. He's waiting for you !!

    I've got to admit, the cowboy church statement made me cry when I heard you guys say it and that caught me by surprise. I went from skeptic to rooting them on. And that lady making them come back in and partake in the chuckwagon...every church needs a good-natured lady like that to encourage others and make them step out of their comfort zone to participate. Great video. I really enjoyed this.

    As a rural North Georgia native who now is a worship director for an inner city church in Michigan, this hit me in unexpected, but wonderful, ways.
    The Cowboy church, specifically felt like home.

    John Crist, you do not know how fortunate you were to have happened upon the Sequatchie Valley Holiness Church in Jasper, Tennessee. It would be in your best interest to go back there again and you need to pray about this church and ask God about them. If you are sincere he will show you! A lot of people claim to be children of God but these people are for real! I am glad I happened upon your video!

    Actually, in Japan, the Catholic Churches are predominantly overseas workers from southeast Asia like Fiipinos. The specific church I went to last I was in Japan had several different priests from Indian to Vietnamese to Spanish to Japanese, of course.

    Thank Goodness for churches like Blue Ridge and all the other ones around the world that cater for people who don’t “fit” in church but love the Lord. They are saving souls God bless them.
