Song in the outro (aka the song that played on my Spotify that one day) - Lean Back by Dion Davis
While he was still far away, his Father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him...[and said,] "let’s eat and celebrate! Because my son...was lost and has been FOUND." Luke 15:20,23 ISV
You are so loved. Be so blessed in Jesus,
-Becca
I've had depression before so I can say that Jesus can definitely heal ANYONE of that. To be honest, I thought I could never get out of it (basically, I thought I was trapped), BUT JESUS...He saw me the whole time, and He sees you too. You are SO valuable to Him, and yes, you have a purpose. You are saved if you have called upon His name (that's what the Bible promises). Just call and cry out to Him, and have faith that He WILL heal you, because He is fully able to. Your problem is not too big for Him. Oh, how He loves you so much! :)
Could you please not apologize for your awkwardness, we watch you because we like who you are as you are, everyone has weird quirks and that makes us all unique. Great video again today, keep it coming it has a great impact on me (and probably others too).
Thank you!!
@@paulrossi4863 well that’s quite rude.
@@Ashley-ro4xz Yes Ashley that comment was rude, and I just deleted it! I totally forgot about making that comment. Thanks for reminding me.
Amen sister! No shame. No condemnation! Conviction, yes. The Lord will give you the steps and the tools to fight and WIN all your battles. Battling depression/mental illness in general is such a tough thing to deal with but we stand in authority and in VICTORY. Gotta put that to use! 😄🙏🏼 great video. 💜
I love how tight knit the TH-camr Christian community is , like I saw a farawaydistance comment in another video .
I was literally up trying not to tear up while desperately praying because I just had a worse panic attack than usual and I felt so so so helpless a defective and ungrateful and without God because of my anxiety and depression and I had TH-cam open and this automatically began playing because the previous video I had playing for background noise to keep me awake while doing homework (it’s 3:18 AM here lol) ended. This video was literally such a clear and immediate answer to prayer and such an undeniable sign from God that He’s with me even though He feels so far away right now and just restored some faith I’ve been struggling with a lot lately. Like wow it’s amazing how God works I’m in awe. Anyways sorry for the uncomfortably deep rant about my life haha but I’m just rly rly amazed and needed to express it
Praise God. That's so beautiful thank you so much for sharing that with me!!! You are NOT alone! ALL anxiety out in Jesus' name!!!
I feel this, this video seems to have come at exactly the right time honestly. Your'e not defective, God made you just the way you are and he is always with you. Every time you start hearing these negative thoughts from Satan, pull out God's word and use it as a weapon. One thing I always do is type in "bible verses about (whatever im struggling with)" and it always helps. Use his word as armour
To the girl struggling with Depression: God loves!!! Depression hit me hard sophomore year of college and I almost died. Same with Junior year. I was only healed this year (thank you Jesus) but I do get anxiety some days and panic attack’s out of the blue. I do thank God for everything because during those times I truly just learned to go to Jesus and trust Him. So sometimes He keeps things in your life (thorns) to remind you of Him. It’s hard to realize, but God does this for your good. He wants you to have good future though don’t be conflicted❤️
Kim Engley thank you for sharing :) God bless your journey
You're seriously so cute. Also your students...so so beyond blessed to have you girl💘
thank you :)
@keemochee I deleted my comment, I know it wasn't very nice.
I have clinical Depression and am called to be a missionary. Depression is weird, as miserable as it is, it helps you gain a completely different perspective on life, death and the world as a whole
i was about to go to bed bc it’s midnight in seattle and girl u just had to post this!! guess i’ll sleep in 15 minutes.
Ahh you're so sweet!!!!
That accent story though😂 loved this
I attended a public school but my teacher and the the whole staff thought us about Jesus EPECIALLY MY TEACHER
This genuinely came at the exact time I needed it. Thank you and thank God ❤❤
Praise God. The amount of times people say this BLOWS MY MIND. It's so encouraging!!!
FarAwayDistance I’m so glad it is! You do help so many people, believe me regardless of those lies you’re told. God is doing INCREDIBLE things through you. You’re so lovely ❤️
Merch idea “I’m brad from Illinois”
YES LETS GO
hahahaha! That British accent story was hilarious. I couldn't imagine ever doing something like that.
:) life is too short to not do bold things I always say
Can I just say your so beautiful, disposition and everything! I love your excitedness and genuine love for God its inspiring and contagious(if that makes sense). Thank you for your wisdom. Praise God for you! Also with you on the journey of anxiety (not as bad as it use to be thank God but yeah)
Your story time was the besssttttt. "This is why you don't lie kids"😂😂😂😂
My sis is going on a mission trip to El Salvador. She was supposed to be going to Honduras as well but because of all the riots and everything it got canceled and now she is just going to El Salvador but God will lead her where he wants her to go.
It's noon in India😂😂
I used to feel like I am letting god down by my anxiety because this is not a good message to my other chtistian/ non-christian friends. What If my anxiety discourages them? But, Now
I look at it in a different way. I am a human and It is okay if I feel weak because then I will hold on to him more strongly. I will not give in.
Thankyou Becca!! Being a christian who's struggling with anxiety.... I just wanted to hear it from someone l adore.
I'm SO glad this encouraged you!!!
Usha Kiran Tudu don’t ever give in! Keep walking with the Lord and get your strength from Him! 💜 you are loved!
Paul and Morgan Thank you so much.😊😊
Woow this is amazing it’s like god brought me to this video. I’ve been struggling with anxiety as a Christian girl and always wondered why hasn’t god healed me yet? And its like you just spoke to me so clearly! Your such an amazing women of god, keep doing what your doing bi matter what comes along! God bless you amen!
I have struggled and i felt anxitey just as i was watching the video. It hurts me and it only recently has botherd me that many people in the world are being decieved and led astray. Many are lost and being decieved into thinking to get into heaven they need to do good works ect But the truth is Christ and only faith is needed. It makes me egar to just preach the good news of Jesus. If you could pray for those who are being decieved it would help so much. We need more hearts turning to Christ ❤️ Btw your video made me smile your so sweet x
The only thing I would say about teaching in a public school is that yeah you can’t openly talk about it, but then you become a light in your children’s life. You become that light in their life if they have a not so good life. I only say that because when I was growing up my parents wanted to put me in a private school and my grandma said, “ but we need Christian children in the public schools.” Just a thought, not trying to say that working at a private school is bad because sometimes I wish I could too.
Absolutely you're right! I'm thankful I went to public school for a lot of reasons. We'll see where I end up for a job!!
Agreed! I’ve taught in public and private and believe that I’ve been able to be a light in both situations. But at a public school there definitely are opportunities you can show love and kindness to kids that maybe don’t see that at home. I know plenty of people who turned their lives around because of their teachers. It’s a really cool platform to have. 😊
Thanks for another great video Becca :)!
I NEEDED to hear this soooo badly!!
Thank you so much for this! 💙😊
I love your channel you are truly a blessing from the LORD!!
Hey Becca! Wow I loved this thanks! One thing I can't get over is how similar our Qand A is! like when you mention Yoda and even how goofy and funny you are - I do the same thing! Great minds think alike I guess!
Why am I crying about what she said about depression 😢😢
Your encouragement spreads far beyond Saxon
❤️
Love you girl you’re so inspiring! Thank you for making videos like this
Love you! :)
I can tell you're speaking from Jesus!! SO blessed to have found these videos tonight.
Sis. You don’t know how uplifting your videos are. You’re the best! Wish I actually knew you haha 🤣
in summary of everything going on right now, THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Thank you so much for this video. Helped a lot ❤️
Thank you for talking about anxiety and depression. I've been struggling with connecting with God lately and my depression and anxiety has been overtaking me and your answer was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Love the videos as always! God is using you in marvelous ways 💙🙏🏽🔥and thank you so much for this video it was helpful, I might be considering becoming a teacher but I don’t know yet😭. I pray that everything goes smoothly for you in your career and life!💙🙏🏽🔥
You inspire me so much 💗 The kids you are teaching to are lucky to have you
Aww oh my gosh!!! Thank you!!!
Beccaaaaa I’m so proud of how much you are coming out of your shell! You go girl!
Aww thank youuu!!!
Thank you so much for the depression bit. I do not struggle with depression but I struggle with a lot of shame. It helped me so much to overcome that, and gave me so much faith that Jesus and God will help me through this.
It’s way past bedtime here but I’m staying up to watch this. Love your videos. I love You Are Special. That story was so funny at the end. My mom taught 3rd grade for 6 years and now I work in a library with kindergarten - 2nd graders
Aww you're so sweet!! Thank you!!
Oh yeah, "You are special" and these other books about the Wemmicks and also "Hermie and Friends", "Miracle At The Higher Grounds Café", "Wild Grace" and "You made my day" of Max Lucado are so so inspiring and encouraging books/films! Such wise words! Thanks for the advices! Be blezzed, love and greetings from Germany ❤️✨
You are an absolute God-send!! I am working toward becoming an elementary teacher, and I have battled with depression and anxiety for years, and I am so thankful for you! I pray that God would continue to bless you and your ministry! You are such an inspiration, and I am so thankful to have a person who is a few steps ahead of me in battling anxiety and in the teaching profession! So thank you for your faithfulness and love for Christ!! So, yeah, thank you!
Thank you for this video 😍
Your videos are so nice and filled with truth. Thank you so much. I am in stress because of school and this was like a breathe of fresh air 💓
Thank you so so much!!! All glory to God!:)
Hi beautiful! I really needed this. I struggle with anxiety too. My mind tells me I'm doing nothing for the kingdom, that I'm useless for Jesus. And also I've been feelling so lonely, I don't have christians Friends and that discourages me a little bit. Love you! Thanks for for this video.
This video came at the PERFECT time! Thanks!
Awesome!:)
Loved hearing you talk about depression. I've struggled with clinical depression my whole life but after much prayer and 6 months of counseling I was finally able to get a real job (keep in mind I'm 36 so this was a BIG deal lol ) God is sooo good. I've been at my daycare for almost a year now (I get to take my youngest son to work with me so it was perfect) ..no medicine .. no counseling and my depression is almost non existent. Love your videos ..keep them coming 💕😍
Thank you so much for sharing and being so vulnerable! I love how you are seeking the Lord no matter what Satan tried to use to discourage you. It is SO encouraging and inspirational! We love you!!
Ahh thank you so so much!! Love you SO much!
Love and get so much positivity from these videos. Thank you!
So happy to hear that! :)
Every time I am going through something the exact week you post a video that exactly relates to it , it's so amazing I get so happy every time you post girl , keep sharing the amazing love of God
That is SO GOD oh my goodness!!! That's so so cool
Omg I feel you. I wish so badly I could teach the kids I teach about Jesus and do bible songs. That would be amazing.
I went to Haiti and completely understand! I love it and miss it so much! Hopefully going back next year!
Isn't it amazing? What part did you go to? :)
yooooooooooooooo you go Becca
Love you becca❤
Hey, just recommending Planetshakers Conference 2019 in Melbourne,Australia. It is a great conference for Christians all ages!
FarAwayDistance great video as always
Thank you! :)
Great Q&A! Regarding depression and anxiety, what you said was right on. I would add that many times those voices aren't even your own thoughts, but are unclean spirits putting those ideas into your head. They cannot read or hear our thoughts, but they can say things in a way that makes them sound like our thoughts. So just because we hear a thought in our head, that doesn't mean we have to take ownership of it.
You mentioned that God can heal us, and that is totally true. He can also deliver us from that type of harassment, and believers who know who they are in Christ also have the authority to command those spirits to leave. I like to think of them as nagging mosquitoes, though, and usually if I find mosquitoes harassing me continually in my house (especially after I've killed some), it's a sign that I've left a door open somewhere. For me, I used to be influenced by a spirit of anger. Rage would well up in me whenever I saw someone run a red light, because my best friend and roommate had been killed when someone drove through a red light and crashed into his car. When I forgave that person, I started sobbing uncontrollably (which was totally unexpected, because I never do that), and after that point the rage went away completely. For me, my unforgiveness was the open door in my life, and once I closed it the spirit of anger no longer had a foothold and couldn't stay in me. If you can find where that open door might be and can close it, you might find freedom right then and there. Other types of open doors could be from believing a lie about who God is, or possibly entertaining a particular fear. When we repent from those things and renounce them, the spirits lose their foothold, and we can just command them to leave in Jesus' name. Jesus said in Mark 16 "These signs will follow those who believe: they will cast out demons in my name..." It was true then, and it's still true today! He is so good. Keep shining your light!
And omg your sooo beautiful!!
Omg literally keep making vids you're hilarious and a huge role model in my life!!!!
Haha thank you! I will!
FarAwayDistance Did you feel God call you to early education?? I'm trying to hear God for my college decisions.
I remember that insta post and I remember asking "how to be strong" and even though you didn't get to answer it, you really helped me with my depression. Thank you so much. Thank you for being my teacher in every video you post (PS I hope its everyday of my life!!). I have a big sister the same age as you and she used to give me advice whenever i feel down but i guess she's too busy now and she lives farrr awaaayyy. Thank you for being a big sister to me. I love you more than you know.
Aww I love you so much too! I am so glad that it helped you!! Sorry I didn't get to your question!

Gerald Koh My accent?? Lol and May 5 I think!
Hi Becca! Oh my goodness your English accent ( London) sounds better than mine and I've pretty much mastered it having been born here lol. I'm wondering if perhaps your pretending to have an American accent lol. Only kidding - another great video :) Thank you. I particularly liked the photo of the classroom! All the best, Andrea xx

FarAwayDistance thanks so much for your videos by the way, kind greetings from The Netherlands - Chris
As a prospective middle school counselor (I'm only a sophomore in college at the moment though lol), I too have been deliberating over how often I wish I could share Jesus' love to my elementary kiddos during my internship. Do you have any tips you've acquired on how to share God's love without "offending" the school system policies? Much love and so many thanks!
- Jordan ❤
Oh my gosh! That British accent thing is totally something I'd THINK about doing. Lol I'd never actually... but I'd definitely think about it.
Love how confident and happy with yourself you are! How do you do it??? Haha
Aww thank you! It's Jesus, no joke. I made a video about this once actually haha, here's the link:) th-cam.com/video/V42IZNhGfBA/w-d-xo.html
Great video!!!! :)
Lilian Dobson. Thank youu!!
God is a patient god... with repetitive sins god will always pick you up and help you start walking again like a parent would a baby. Keep fighting against your repetitive sins and be patient with yourself as well!! I love you so much!
could you do a college freshman advice (something you wish you knew freshman year)!! or a storytime and you folding laundry haha!! also don't forget to call your gramps!
Aww that's a good idea!:) Haha I'll have to do another laundry video soon!
Could you do a video on the process after choosing a college? Like the deposit and when you pay and how you pay also orientation and registration because I’m going to college soon but I don’t know what to do after I actually choose a school.
Amen :)
Oh my gosh! Your English accent is amazing! Every time I hear an American doing an English accent I always think 'that is not how I sound' 😂
Haha aww thank you so so much!!!
WE USED TO OWN A COUCH EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!!! Sorry, that was random. But it brought me back to the good old days for a second.
That's awesome!!:) I got it at a thrift store and it's SO comfortable it's my favorite thing haha
I wish more girls have values like you. I am a Hindu, but I agree with most of what you teach.
In addition to what you said about depression, secular music and porn or lewd entertainment breeds depression and general unhappiness.
"Haii, I'm Brad from Illinois " Becca you're killing me
Katrina Van Grouw hahaha thanks
Yay
Oh you pretty little liar! Jk, the story is hilarious :D Your videos always light up my day, you're so encouraging!
Good morning FarAwayDistance! I have a question for you. How close do you feel we are to the Return?
I has been struggling with lies and Christian's doubts for a while. I always feel so shameful. Always think that if i am not even 100% believe in God's existence , I am too shameful to find God. He doesnt like me. But you answer really encourages me : )
God loves you more in a moment than anyone would love you in a lifetime! Do not think such a thing. The world decieves people with lies but God has lead you to Him: the Truth. Stand firm in the faith :) i’ll be praying for you
Sophie Hibbert thanks : ) that's really kind of u
Doubt is normal but know that God loves you no matter what and He loved you even when you were His enemy. I hope you find the answers you need.
Christian Mary A McCann (Perlman) 1888-1966. In June 1904, McCann was a teenager of 16 recovering from measles and scarlet fever, when she witnessed the fire aboard the PS General Slocum from the hospital on North Brother Island in New York City.. McCann, got out of her sick bed, and a strong swimmer, waded into the East River and helped passengers to safety, including as many as nine children. While hospitalized with the injuries she sustained that night, McCann also caught diphtheria. On June 15, 1904, General Slocum caught fire and sank in the East River of New York City. At the time of the accident, she was on a chartered run carrying members of St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church (German Americans from Little Germany, Manhattan) to a church picnic. An estimated 1,021(of this over 500 Children died) of the 1,342 people on board died from fire or drowning. Mary A. McCann was awarded the Silver Lifesaving Medal, for rescuing passengers, including up to nine children, from the 1904 PS General Slocum steamboat fire in New York City. Her devotion to save others, was being a Christian, in faith to save others with love and compassion. John 12-14 "12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are My friends if you do what I command you. " That is Faith to follow of the young Christians like Sophie Scholl 1922-1943 or Mary or Far away Distance who followed Jesus no matter what. Good-B-Ye, God Be with Ye, Goodbye in the peace and provision of your Vouchsafe Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
Is there a way for you to make the subtitles last for a bit longer? -Ama.
I get that from lots of people......why hasn't your God healed you of your anxiety. I just tell them my life is much better now and God isn't done with me yet.
Poor guy ahaha... I'm from Brazil too
Hey that's so awesome!:)
