I love that you use your platform to remind everyone of what Christmas is really about. Being younger I don’t see really any of this from the channels I watch, so it makes me sad. I will also say, thank you for entertaining me through the year with awesome uploads to keep me distracted when I need them 😊 I hope you have a wonderful day today, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Ever since you first mentioned cristianity I was wondering if you're refering to the original Orthodox(2000 years old) religion that came from Jesus or any of the newer man-made ones?
Thank you for sharing this. When I learned what you believed, it made me love the content that much more. Love the intro in your book also. Was looking forward to having you sign my copy, unfortunately it was lost in the house fire 2/18/2022. I will get another copy, and then hopefully I can get that one signed. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
Ed, your honesty about your beliefs is refreshing and very welcomed (at least by me). Merry Christmas to everyone for it is more the presence of peace, friends and family versus the gifts you buy for others. Be slow to anger and quick to forgive. Try it for one day, then another. It's a habit we should all get hooked on. The world is filled with wonderful people if we can get over our own hang ups and say hello. 🎅👍
Wow! What a blessing to hear this testimony! Thank you Ed Bolian for sharing the real meaning of Christmas through God's Word and may you and your beloved family have a wonderful Christmas. 🙏🌟🔔🎄❤️
For me, you just went from a TH-camr to a real person, Ed. I may not believe the same as you, but thank you for sharing a part of yourself. Happy Holidays - May yours be peaceful & quiet. Thank You to all of VinWiki's sponsors!
One of the things I've always admired about you Ed is that you've never been ashamed of your faith and are willing to share your testimony with us. I really love to see the friendships between you and so many of your VinWinki storytellers.
Ed, it takes real courage in this day and age to be as forward with your faith. You definitely are living out your faith and I appreciate the example you are to all of us. Merry Christmas!
My respect level for you and the channel just skyrocketed. Professing your faith publicly as you have really grounds you as a believer and I for one am happy to see one of my favorite channels share the love for Christ. I’m always hoping my favorites are followers. I still watch if not but when they are, my heart is even more involved. God bless Ed and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Not a real religious person but your message is perfect timing. I think it's awsome that you have did this little video. God bless you and your family. And may God bless all the vinwiki family also. Thanks for all the entertainment you have provided for us so far and thank god for allowing it
As an atheist and primarily a watcher of world religions and how people celebrate certain holidays, i think this is so beautiful. Screw the people who think this is "preaching". You're a man of your faith and its empowering to see you so proud of that Ed, keep doing you, we love you bro!
Ed, thank you for sharing your testimony and the real reason for Christmas. Your profession of faith and telling others about Jesus and his birth, life, sacrifice brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for using your platform to spread the word!
Merry Christmas Ed, and thank you immensely for posting these every year. We as a community are very blessed to live in a place and time where we can share in these traditions and it has become a part of my family's Christmas tradition to listen to your reading of the Bible before brunch and presents.
I've struggled with alcoholism and substance abuse my entire adult life. Finally I decided to get sober and went to a sober friend of mine in Nashville. To make money we traveled around the country and worked in these car supersales. I had a lot of experience in corporate sales and finance but I was happy to have the work. It was nine years ago on about December 22nd and I was working in Manteca, CA, a little northeast of the Bay Area, at a tiny Ford dealership. We had a bad run and were broke. We had been living off his American Express card and we had a $5,000 payment due, or we wouldn't even be able to get home. I had a relapse and even though it was just for a night, it was as horrible as I remembered. The next day I went for a soda across the street and I broke down and started crying. I fell to my knees and finally asked God for help. That night as I was leaving the dealership, I noticed a DVD sitting next to where the keys were. The DVD was the movie "Flywheel", about a car dealer who had been screwing his customers for years, but when he finally communicated with God, he was given the strength and ability to buy back all the bad cars he had sold. I came into work the next morning and I met a widow, who had lost her husband a year before. She explained she got a car, just to have transportation, and in her grief had gotten ripped off. I was able to structure a deal to get her the car she really wanted on a lease and even after rolling up the negative equity her payment stayed the same. That deal paid me $1500. A couple customers later was a man who came into the dealership, and needed a car. When he sat down he explained he was on his way to a bankruptcy attorney because he was about to lose his home because of unpaid common maintenance fees. He told me he'd love a new car, but the last $1000 he had left he needed to give the attorney. I asked him to outline how much he would need to save his home, and we were able to put him in the car he wanted, and cut him back a large enough check to allow him to keep his home, his credit, and a new car to boot. The next day his son came in and got a car. Within 48 hours of the time of my foxhole prayer, I had earned enough money to pay the Amex. My father had recently passed away and I was estranged from my family due to my actions prior to recovery. It just so happened that his sister, and my aunt had recently moved to Manteca, and I was able to have Christmas with my family again. I didn't believe in God prior to this, but I found that all I had to do was ask, and accept his solution for me. I am still sober and alive today thanks to my new found relationship with God. You were brave in going out there with your faith, and that gave me the strength to tell my story. Thanks Ed.
I may be non-religious, but I'm glad I got to enjoy these stories with your hosts and guests here at VINWiki. Here is too a great holiday we share with our loved ones. Merry Christmas
I sincerely appreciate this Ed. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I'm unfortunately in a severe homelessness situation and without anyone on this day...but this upload has really made me smile and made me forget about my situation for a moment...thank you !!!
Not enough people talk about battling depression publicly. Thank you so much for sharing some of your story. I hope it will inspire someone to get help and not suffer alone.
Thank You Ed. It’s so refreshing to hear this from you and being open about your struggles, like myself and many others have, and to connect salvation through Jesus to God. Guess that give me a better understanding of why you find so much value in the cars you find too. Thank you, you and your video is a wonderful gift this morning.
Ed- years ago when VINWiki was a lot smaller, you talked about how important your faith was. Through all your success, it’s good to see you’re still walking with Him. Thanks for sharing, and merry Christmas!
I'm so glad that you're sharing your relationship with Jesus with the world. Less and less people do that today, and I'm thankful someone told me about Jesus years ago. God bless brother!
Not a religious person but i can respect your faith and the way you deliver it. somehow i still enjoyed the story telling. Also the way you announce the channel sponsors is just pure genius.
Thank you Ed because of his grace we get to enjoy these car stories. And none of this is possible without the story you shared with us today thank you for being faithful with your platform
This is just as appreciated as last year, God bless the whole vinwiki family. Thanks for being proud of your faith and devotion. Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!
Very admirable that you would put this out there in such a way. Not many in your position would proclaim their faith and subject themselves to the obligatory ridicule you will no doubt receive on social media, and possibly elsewhere. God bless you and your family, Ed. Merry Christmas and thank you for the message of hope and mercy in Him.
Based Ed is the best Ed. I love that you aren't afraid to share this with us and the world. Thank you, Ed, for being not only entertaining but stead fast in your beliefs
Ed, thanks for sharing the story of our greatest hope. So comforting to hear it today. A great telling of the birth of our savior and video accompaniment. May you and your family enjoy the Merriest Christmas yet.
Great use of your platform to share the Gospel Ed. Thank you for doing this, a reminder to us who believe and planting the seed for those who may wonder where we get our joy from.
This makes me very happy to hear you sharing you faith. Many people shy away from being so blunt in their religious beliefs. This will make me a permanent subscriber. May God bless you and your family this Holy day; Merry Christmas!.
Merry Christmas Ed and Amen! You are without doubt, the most humble and wholesome man on the internet! Quick question, have you and the guys taken part in the Gumball Rally?
"we know we have broken that relationship, and we know we're not perfect" is the car story Ed looks for in a vehicle purchase. With Tavarish, it may rise again in three days :D Cheers brotherman!
I love you doing this every christmas, truly the only secular TH-camr that gives a crap about the real meaning and spreading it. God bless you and i hope you have a fantastic day with your family ed (:
Merry Christmas! Absolutely lovely that you are so open about your faith here! Thanx for all the fun, it’s been a blessing through the dark times I personally had the past two years!
Ed, that was beautiful. Thank your for sharing God's love and the story of his amazing sacrifice for us. You are in my prayers. May God bless you and your everyday interactions with his children.
Merry Christmas Ed, your family and the entire VinWiki family. VinWiki got me back into car culture and has helped me move on from bad habits. Ed, you should know how Leah people you help. Thank You
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones Ed! Thanks so much for the countless hours of entertainment and for all the inspiration. And thanks for sharing with us your Christmas tradition!
Thank you for sharing this Ed and using your voice on the internet to explain the true meaning of Christmas. From a brother in Christ in Australia, God Bless you for for your faith and witness.
So nice to see the message of Christ on a TH-cam car channel. Not that it's weird, but that it's such a big part of who you are. Merry Christmas to all of you. Christ is King!
Ed, my respect for you just reached new heights today!!! You sir are an amazing story teller and of course a genius in the super car world. May God continue to bless you and your family in 2023.
It’s always great to see Christians vocal about their faith!! We all have so much to be thankful for!! Thank you Ed for the great content you bring to us!
Bless you for sharing your faith with the world!! Sometimes I feel like I am pushing the limits of God forgiveness. But I always feel loved. No matter what...
The story never gets old. You tell it well Ed. It is what the world needs to hear.
Amen
Indeed
Happy 2023 to you and yours, David!
Honest mechanic is Gods favorite 😊

This is awesome, love that you are totally unashamed of your faith in our savior!

As an atheist and primarily a watcher of world religions and how people celebrate certain holidays, i think this is so beautiful. Screw the people who think this is "preaching". You're a man of your faith and its empowering to see you so proud of that Ed, keep doing you, we love you bro!
Thank you for doing this! It’s beautiful to be unashamed for Christ on such a big platform as vinwiki! Merry Christmas everyone!
