Honestly, no job and nothing in this life is more important than your spouse and your relationship with them. A paycheck isn't worth it if it means hurting the most important person in your life, someone you have vowed before God to love, cherish and respect. Jess's feelings are totally valid. And it's not like they desperately need the money from that role.
I’m with you, Jess. Praying for no kissing roles for Gabe. Your feelings are valid and show the honor and commitment you have to your husband and the sanctity of marriage. 😊
As an actor myself, I'm currently going through this in the theater🎭 industry. I've already had to decline a role because I wasn't comfortable performing it as a Christian. In film/television, it's a little bit different because of the actor's agent/agency and what they expect their actors to pursue. An actor's agent is responsible for getting their actors auditions through their connections with producers or casting directors. They usually don't like it when you turn down roles because they get paid when the actor lands a role. With that said, it's up to Gabe to communicate with his agent/agency and let them know beforehand if he's not comfortable with taking certain roles. Gabe has to be the one to put his foot down and say no, even if it means being jobless(in acting anyway), or getting dropped by an agency. For me personally, I've already decided that no role is worth compromising my walk with the Lord Jesus Christ(Mark 8:36). If God should bless me with a wife, then I will apply that same principle and reject kissing roles, to protect my marriage and the heart of my wife. Like I said, at the end of the day. It's going to come down to Gabe, and his conviction when he's put in that situation. Ephesians 5:25-28 KJV "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself."
I agree. I had to have that conversation with my agent when I was pursuing acting. If Gabe doesn’t feel he needs to have that same conviction, I still pray on behalf of Jess that those doors will be closed. Thanks so much for sharing your journey and thoughts as a Christian in entertainment. 🙏🏽
Definitely agree with you and @elbertrobles8784. Acting is truly my passion but it became too difficult to pursue a career in the industry knowing what I might have to do. I'm praying the Lord will come alongside me in the future with plans for making my own films.
Hello, what do you guys think about adding time stamps in the video? It would be so useful to be able to pick a subject that you guys are discussing and watch that when I don’t have the time to watch the full video. Congrats you are doing an amazing job, love ya!
Love your content so much!! Would love to hear Jess get interviewed about life. Especially moving to the US and hearing her whole story of moving away and growing up :) Looking forward to next week!
love being in company with you guys, it’s always filled with humour and just feels so comfy and cozy 😊 I’ve purchased the day by day journal and it’s due to arrive soon!!! god bless you guys, so much love and sending huge hugs your way 🤍
The conversation about compromising in the industry is definitely something I've thought and prayed about often. Needless to say, the morality of Hollywood is just so much worse than it was even 10 years ago. Inappropriate language/behavior has become the norm, and not even for the sake of a redemptive story arc. Filmmaking and acting is my preferred career of choice, but it has become too difficult knowing the things I would have to say or do. It kind of feels like I am repressing a part of myself. But I would give it all up for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord. He is faithful and He is good. I am praying He will use me to make (quality) films that anyone can enjoy. Love you both in the Lord 💜
I’ve loved the podcasts so much! I can’t stop listening to them! I was cleaning my bathroom and was laughing out loud y’all seriously heighten my mood thanks ❤
i just love this podcast so much !! i saw someone say that it could be a great idea to add stamps (like time stamps?) for different subjects and i think this could be an amazing addition ! Much love ❤❤
I agree with the comment from raquel. the expectations on young actresses to be naked and shown having sex in today’s movies is extreme. In some interviews, actresses say it’s just part of the job. Says who! The imagination is more powerful than reality and the hint of sex is sufficient for the plot. As part of the me too movement, Hollywood introduced the intimacy coach. But that doesn’t make it appropriate to protect the emotional well being of a young actress. One director has stated that he intentionally included a sex scene not in the original screen play just to change the rating. The pressure for someone starting out must be overwhelming. If you don’t do it, you don’t get the job and you’ll never have a career if you can’t get started. Unfortunately, I don’t see a solution. It’s sexual exploitation but overt rather than hushed up. So sad.
Me checking the photos of their first red carpet and thinking Jess looks absolutely gorgeous in her off the shoulder dress! 😱💖 People can be so unnecessary. Love the podcast!
I absolutely love this podcast. Honestly did not know a few of these facts about the industry. Very cool you guys! Awesome job ❤️ excited to see more such conversations.
Oh my goodness, as soon as you commented on what you were wearing & asked if he remembered, I knew exactly what you were talking about! I remember being so sad for you that so many people were saying things like that, making you feel insecure!
love y'all and this episode so much!! gabe's basketball role story breaks my heart but jess is right, everything happens for a reason 🤗🕺my friend gave me jess' new journal for my bday present, i wrote in the "current favorites" prompt that this is my favorite podcast :)
you guys struggling with the intro and outro really gives me a flashback when you started the channel and didn't know what to say or to do for outro hahaha. love you guys!
Interesting episode guys :) As a christian, it’s def a hard line when it comes to acting in mainstream movies. I know we’re called to be lights and I love Cinema, but the industry as a whole is largely so Godless and worldly.
and that’s exactly why it’s important for believers to go if they’re called to the industry! Jesus was friends with the most scandalous of people, the tax collectors, prostitutes. plus, any industry is dark let’s be real. there’s dishonesty in the finance industry, and other wickedness in any industry. i live in LA and work in the industry and let me tell you God is working! @PaulandMorgan
@@Sarah-sr8zwthank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experience seeing God move within entertainment. I agree, there is no “safe” industry. Safety and protection only exists within our obedience to The Lord and being where He’s placed us. 🙏🏽
It was the animated Spider-Man/ hotel in Transalvania I can’t remember which but I remember you guys going to the movies to watch it and your names were in the credits and you posted it on your stories!!
Why does gabe treat Jess weird sometimes haha like when she said the Jonathan property thing, he looked and acted like he had second hand embarrassment for her when there was no reason bc what she said was not even weird lol and on the other podcast I feel like he made her feel weird for loving celebrities so much when they first met. Idk maybe it’s just me. I know Gabe probably doesn’t mean it in that way, it’s just something I’ve noticed in past vlogs and stuff and sometimes I feel bad for Jess like I hope she knows it’s not weird and doesn’t need to feel embarrassed about certain things. That’s all ❤
yess I feel the same. I'm sure that's just their dynamic but I hope Jess knows she's so relatable for us girls and she should never stop being her fully authentic self!
It’s so rude to comment on anyone’s body regardless, some people really need to stop and think before commenting, put yourself in that situation and ask yourself how you’d feel if someone did it to you. Never assume a woman is pregnant, if she says she is, then you can give your congratulations/blessing/prayers whatever, DO NOT ASSUME. It does so much damage.
Love you guys so much enjoy all you do and yes definitely heard that Gabe! But Jess you didn’t look pregnant to me at all as a mom of 3 with a mom belly after I got back to my pre pregnancy stage. I loved every look you have done
Hi Guys your such a lovely couple and loving parents 💕 Just wondering why your mics are so close to your faces especially Jess's looks like it's blocking your air supply😂
Not me realizing one of my fav TH-cam couples are a Leo and Scorpio? Meanwhile I’m a Leo dating a Scorpio haha usually people like to be judgy towards our signs and those are the ones I find most annoying. Also the ones who think I’m not a real Leo just bc I’m born in July like stfu 🙄) honestly idc about rising and the other astrological crap but if it’s accurate then yea 😂
I would be very prayerful. Certain things may not seem like they affect you, but it is a matter of being before God. If Jesus was physically on earth, would you do those things? The stuttering made the conviction apparent. Please be mindful & prayerful. What does God think? No one is perfect. But we are called to look & love different. Especially as public Christian influencers, you have influence.
Because the bible says it can be degrading for another (break another down instead of building them up), it can cause hurt and offences with others and the Lord wants us to use our mouth in a godly manner whereby we don't say obscene and filthy words.
The scriptures: ephesians 4:29, ephesians 5:4, james 3:10, james 5:12, 1 petrus 3:10 and many more. You NEED to be born again out water (baptism and full immersion) and the Holy Spirit to overcome this swearing (john 3, acts 19:1/5 etc. Hope that helps
@@SpiritualDoves wow that’s really interesting thank you so much for your answer ! love learning about religion and educating myself as much as possible so i really appreciate it :)
I don't believe it's explicitly forbidden or called a sin in the Bible, but God does call us to be "set apart" from the world (basically to act differently, and try to be a light in the world) and I just don't see swearing as productive or positive, in a lot of cases it makes people uncomfortable and is considered vulgar. I think it's not "forbidden" but more so frowned upon and highly implied that we should try and be different in a good way.
Oh my gosh Jess when gabe said “Wouldn’t it be nice” 🥺🥹 You have every right to feel the way you do! I wouldn’t be able handle my husband kissing other women for work.
These mixture of vlogs and podcast every week has been incredible, thank you for the amazing content over the years guys :)
WTF I am trying to enjoy Gabe acting as though he was once an actor 😅😂😂😂

what a great ep so far! I'm 14:19 in and is been so insightful!! but wishing there'll be time stamps of different topics being said
This episode has aired at the perfect time! I'll go make a coffee and enjoy listening to Jess and Gabe 🥰

I really felt Gabe's "that's a joke! it's a joke! it's a joke babe" and Jess' almost teary eyes. I love you both so much guys!🤍

As an actor who is a Christian and just started my professional career, I really enjoyed this!
I’ve loved the podcasts so much! I can’t stop listening to them! I was cleaning my bathroom and was laughing out loud y’all seriously heighten my mood thanks ❤
I cant express how happy I am to see that they’ve posted another episode!!!
i just love this podcast so much !! i saw someone say that it could be a great idea to add stamps (like time stamps?) for different subjects and i think this could be an amazing addition ! Much love ❤❤
I have been waiting for this. It reveals so much about Gabe as an actor. His being an actor has been put on the backend for sometime
I wonder, if we were to flip the scenario - Jess goes to auditions and books a role where she needs to kiss her co-star - would would Gabe feel? 🤔

Listening and watching the podcast, had become a must on Sundays

The best part of my sunday routine is watching your podcast ❤

“You know I need to journal about that” 😂😂 so relatable
This was a super interesting episode! Love you guys
After a long time your channel has grown so much
Oh my goodness, as soon as you commented on what you were wearing & asked if he remembered, I knew exactly what you were talking about! I remember being so sad for you that so many people were saying things like that, making you feel insecure!
Big examples of why significant others can’t trust love interests: brangelina and SpongeBob’s homewrecker 🤭😂
YAYYY I’m so excited! My morning just got better 💛
This episode was awesome 😊loved it

Gabe underestimates himself so much I wish he knew how talented he is.
Love this podcast!!! Was so interesting and love how it’s so well prepared but still feels so natural and cozy
you guys struggling with the intro and outro really gives me a flashback when you started the channel and didn't know what to say or to do for outro hahaha. love you guys!

Jess joking about Gabriel being the diva gave me goosebumps 😂

Had to look up your red carpet looks and you two look so gorgeous and professional, plus Jess’s fits😍
Why is no one talking about Jess' haircut? Looks so amazing!! 😍
im obsessed with this podcast 😍
I remember the exact vlog of Gabriel’s having to kiss someone for acting and Jess was so understanding about it but it was funny 😂 I love y’all!
Do you remember the name of the vlog? Would love to watch it haha!
@@youknowyoulovemeexoh It’s called Kissing another girl for an acting role
Is something that I don't understand, is not a sin anyway?
Gabe:*casually meets Gerard*
Me: you met the phantom!? Iykyk
Do you guys plan on doing more acting in the near future. I would totally watch that movie.
love that Angela played a "mean" character but she's super nice irl
Really loving this podcast ❤

We all know Gabe would fanboy if he met Daniel Ricciardo 😂
Love this whole podcast content, keep it up guys😊
We needs Gabe’s parents on the podcast

Now I want to know what basketball movie it was! 😂 I want to watch and imagine it's actually Gabe playing the role haha
Love listen to your podcast will I get ready!💕

Greetings from Guatemala 🇬🇹 Central America. ¡Saludos!

Please talk about past relationships or overall how to deal with breakups n all. Please i want to listen how to move on from a trauma of getting hurt
Love you guys so much enjoy all you do and yes definitely heard that Gabe! But Jess you didn’t look pregnant to me at all as a mom of 3 with a mom belly after I got back to my pre pregnancy stage. I loved every look you have done
Anyone else trying to guess what roles he auditoned for and the role people were wanting for Jess? I'm so curious about it lol
Yes... out here scrolling and can't find anything!
Gabe just stop going to auditions and stay with us❤️
Dunno why I’m just imagining gabe in an Adam Sandler movie lol that’d be great
Where can I get their merch ?
Jess where is your pink phone case from???
I want one of those so far so good sweaters…
Was the movie Hustle????
The animated movie they did was spies in disguise but I still can’t figure out where their lines were

Who did you meet from MONK? That is literally my favorite show too. I would be so excited if I saw any of them.
Oh so Zooey was still married when she got with Jon? 👀 then again couples split up and take a minute to finalize divorces so
