Thank you Tori for wanting to share your story and for being vulnerable, I just know that God is going to trough you help a lot of people, God bless you guys, sending love to the three of you 💖
“Delayed obedience is still disobedience. God’s love language is obedience. When we walk in obedience and what He is calling us to do, it’s always for our benefit.”
I took a job I really didn’t want and had a lot of red flags. Everyone told me to take it because I was long-term unemployed and it was my only offer. The pay was 60% higher than my last job, but the benefits were 💩. 4 days of PTO. Like they didn’t care about the well-being of their employees. I got so sick over working so much. I was fired in half a year after experiencing toxic micromanagement. My boss openly told me all the stuff she didn’t like about me every meeting for about a month before abruptly firing me as soon as I walked into work. I’m not listening to my family or friends anymore when choosing work even if that means I can’t pay my bills. God will give me a better opportunity and I’ll wait.
Literally got fired yesterday and I had a false sense of peace until I searched specifically for videos of Christians speaking about getting fired. I have never related more to any video. I am grateful the Holy Spirit led me to it to help me be honest with myself and God. I also have hope as a result of this video. It also just reminded me that my sense of security should be found in him.
I’m just in tears watching this. I’ve been stuck in a job for 5 years. I was so unhappy and I definitely did not do my work in excellence. Then I got retrenched in Dec 2021 and it felt like a weight lifted. I was scared and at peace at the same time. He lead me to Charis Bible College, I’m a full time student, not working and God is fully taking care of me. I went from fully independent, to fully dependent on God for every single need I have. It’s not been easy, it’s been messy and scary and so amazing at the same time. My prayer to Him was at the beginning of the year is to teach me to trust Him and to win my heart. Thank you for sharing Tori, I love you guys so much.🥺🙏🏻♥️
You are SO right about the pressure on college seniors! I just graduated in May and everywhere I went people were asking me what my plans were, and I felt at fault if I didn't have an answer.
“Rejection is God’s redirection.” I just graduated high school and I wish I would’ve heard this sooner!!! You both are such an inspiration and a true example of who I hope to become as I enter this chapter of adulthood.
This couple is one of the few Christian couples that I actually appreciate and listen too. I like how simple and yet from the heart their messages are. They don’t try to over spiritualize everything but also speak God’s word.
Thank you Tori and Chad for sharing. I am currently at my lowest point in my life. I'm 21, about to finish university, and start my career. How you described the difference between the Tori you were from Monday to Friday and the Tori you were on Sundays is exactly how my life looks. The only thing keeping me stable now is God, my Christian community and family. By the grace, the Lord has given me a church where I can discover my strengths and gifts and do more ministerial work, that brings me so much joy. All I know is that, this is a season and the Lord is my strength and my comforter through it. Love you guys lots....
I SO needed to hear this story today. Our family was called into ministry 2 years ago when we volunteered with a ministry serving the homeless. My husband quit his job and took a 75% pay decrease and we sold our dream house to supplement our income and are renting right now. What you said about making a quarter of the money but being 4 times as happy is so true because you are walking in God's will! The most valuable thing on earth is someone's soul! Anyways, why this struck me today is I have continued to work remotely at a job doing medical coding while trying to help with the ministry as much as I can and homeschool our girls. The job drains me SO much and takes away time that I feel could be going to what God has for me- schooling our kids and helping with the ministry. But I think that I hold onto it because how you said you were connected to the money, I think for me it is the stability. Living this ministry life doesn't feel stable, selling our home and renting doesn't feel stable. For a chronic planner this has all been scary, but then God's peace falls and He confirms our steps! Thank you for the reminder that God alone is our provider, that I work for Him no matter what I am doing and that if He calls me out of my "stable" job to serve him in a different way, that He is a faithful God that loves me and is to be trusted!
I remember being fired from a job I didn’t really like, but gave me a good lifestyle. It was humiliating tbh, it really hits your ego. I’m now working at a job that pays better and makes me feel more accomplished.
Im just 15 years old and I love you watching your guys’ journey. It’s so special❤️❤️ I love learning about God through your stories, it makes me want to make my relationship with God so much better and I couldn’t be more grateful to u guys! God Bless you Hugs
Such a pleasure. My mum just finished 8 months of chemo and today we found out she’s cancer free! I have to say you guys got me through a lot of the tough times. So thank you!
Your story is so relatable Tori and the Lord took me through a humbling season of life that without that hardship wouldn't have brought me to where I am today. Praise the Lord for His redirection and for His grace as He refines us!!
Left my passion for teaching and education to pursue a career in communications for more money - and i am definitely not happy or doing “my work in excellence” in my new job. I have felt God calling me back to teaching and am finally getting back into it. This video was very encouraging and really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing and your vulnerability!!!!
Wow wow wow. This story is just like my story. I got fired this month from a job that I wasn’t feeling fulfilled in.. even though I was working for a large religious organization. I thought God placed me in this position but I wasn’t working for God and I wasn’t happy at all. Long story short, two weeks ago I got fired for a small mistake. I know it is Gods redirection for my life. My old job reached out to me like three days after (as I was reading the word and praying to God!) and wanted me back! I am so excited to start tomorrow! 🥰 I’ve learned so much through this experience. God is teaching me excellence, humility and to pray pray pray in everything.
I remember in 2018 I also got fired because I got involved with a bad crew indeed bad character corrupts good morals but it was also a wake up call for me to run to the Father and once I did within 2 months He had already blessed me with another so yeah obedience is key.
As a college student and young adult, I genuinely love the rawness of this. You spoke so much truth that so many of us needed to hear. 💚 It is a lot of pressure and it can really take a toll on us!
It’s amazing to hear how far off your plans were from what GOD’S plans are. What a blessing to know a mentor like you from afar- thank you for the encouragement today! 💕
I am currently in such a similar season. Just graduated and trying to figure out what direction to go. Thanks to your video this is a confirmation that I should probably avoid the corporate field. I’ve been trying to step into it, but deep down feel like it’s not what God has for me. Which is so difficult because it feels like the “safe” route. Thank you for your humility and vulnerability
I got fired from my first “job” at 16 . Being relatively young, it still made me feel very inadequate and hurt me a lot! Then I got another job making a lot more money (at the time it was a lot for a 16 year old😂), worked there 6 years & throughout college, and even met some of my best friends that I still have today.💕
I didn't complete a college course many years ago, but i think i may have been struggling with my mental health at the time, i just didn't know it. Looking back a few years later, i shouldn't have applied for that course but hey-ho. Thank you for being so vulnerable with your stories. Love you both!
This was one of my favorite videos! It made me see y’all as imperfect people that I can relate to! It gave me excitement and confidence in the fruition I will one day have in Gods plan! Grateful that in a weird way I have y’all to walk with me and counsel me in difficult seasons!
Thank you Tori for being obedient to share this. I have recently gone through rejection with schooling and your story added to my perspective. I still may not fully know what God is calling me to, but this reminds me to keep bringing it to his feet. His plans are better and I rest knowing that even if His plan is different than mine or a redirection from the one I am currently walking in, it will all be worth it because it is through these experiences I’ve had and the people I have met so far, that God has refined my character, removed what hinders me, and delivers me to freedom. You shine so bright I love the Woman of God that you are
Your videos always seem to resonate it’s the craziest thing. I just let go of a career that I was clinging on to but I finally let God show me HIS path for me. Thank you two. You both are helping me in my journey of faith. I will admit I am sad but I trust the Lord. Please pray for me over my new direction 🤍God bless you both
Thank you for sharing this. I’m having an especially hard day in a very hard season (personally and professionally) and this made me feel a little less alone.
well lookie here if that didn't happen, the lives God has transformed by speaking through yall would not be the same. praise God for rejection because He will never reject us!! love this and you guys so so uch
You've mentioned part of your testimony before, Tori, but it's so good to hear it as a whole. It's encouraging to see stories of God directing our lives, even when we're not doing what we're supposed to. I definitely feel like I need to be a better coworker at my job after watching this video.
I don't comment on TH-cam BUT I needed to let you know that your video was worth sharing... It is exactly what I have been going through for the past 2 months to Present. I am still stuck and unsure of what to do next, struggling with my mental health and purpose. I needed this and I really feel , I was meant to see this and you were meant to put this out now. Thank-you so much !
Thanks so much for being so open and vulnerable here Tori! But wow how amazing is our God where he opens and closes doors for us! You’re both super inspiring in your faithfulness and I absolutely love how God has led you to where you are! Hope you three are doing well!
@@ToriAndChad That’s so great to hear! I’m doing good! Just spent a weekend away with some friends which was a lot of fun! But not long now before I’m back at University to finish my Honours year which has been quite intense, so prayer in that would be greatly appreciated!
I needed to hear this right now!!! Thank you Tori for sharing. I have a few jobs that I may have to choose from. I'm still very perplexed as to which one to choose. I'm trying to let God choose but I have been out of work for a while. I lost 2 jobs due to Covid & both I had been working hard to find & would of loved to see which one might have worked out. One was veterinary sales the other was biotech working as a consultant to bring the buyer/investors together with the company looking for investors.
Thank you for sharing this story, Tori. Your humility and transparency are always so refreshing and edifying! I am graduating soon and have felt a lot of disappointment and redirection about my dream job, and your story reminds me to slow down and trust that God is redirecting me and that He will provide. Thank you for taking the time to share Tori, and your comments at the end were so awesome Chad!!
Thank you for sharing your story. I love how you pointed out that we all need to ask God about every detail of our lives. We want His will in everything that we do:)
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I love how you focus on the importance of prayer in the midst of every decision. As a college student, I really needed this video! Love you guys!
Seniors get sooo much pressure! Not just in college too, when I was a sophomore in highschool they had us make presentations on where we were going to college and what we were doing for work after high school. So glad I knew to let God direct my life and not let the pressure to have everything planned out get the best of me. Thanks for sharing Tori :)
Currently in tears listening to your story that reminds me so much of my present life. I've been miserable with my job for years and it's taken a toll on my mental health, but for some reason I haven't had the strength to walk away. Recently, my drive has gone down the drain and I am not working with excellence. As someone who loves the Lord, I feel so convicted knowing I'm not doing my best. On top of that, the enemy is taunting me with the idea that I am not worthy of a job in ministry (what I so deeply desire) because of my current lack of performance at my current job. I'm overwhelmed, but I know God is good. I know He is using this season to grow me and He is using these tests to build my faith and relationship with Him. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for sharing this testimony, Tori. It really encouraged me as I was fired from an internship a few months ago and still job searching/trusting God for open doors. It's amazing how perfect God's timing is! God bless you guys🤍
This video was truly timely. I am currently struggling with so many things you mentioned during this video. I felt like I had two mentors speaking wisdom into me. Thank you so much. Would God continue to bless you.
Thank you for sharing Tori! Hearing your story definitely encourages me. I just graduated from College and I definitely agree that there is so much pressure along with the struggle of comparison present in Senior year. It feels like you have to get a job lined up as soon as possible and have everything figured out & everyone is asking you what is next. I was super stressed out trying to finish assignments etc. and also prepare and apply for jobs. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do... but it is so true that rejection leads to redirection in the way that God would have us to go! And I’m so thankful for that. We have to go through hardship to be humbled and to grow. Such a good message!
Thank you for sharing Tori! I am currently going through something similar where I don’t feel happy in my job, I have talked to my husband about quitting my job but I feel that if I leave this job I will feel like a failure because I am currently getting my degree for this career and that mean I would have to choose another career which I have no idea what I would choose. I would love it if you keep me in your prayer for God to guide me to where he wants me to be. Love you guys! 💗
Thank you Tori for sharing such a personal life story with us! It takes a lot to be so vulnerable and share the trut. I gain so much strength from the both of you constantly! God is truly working through you two and blessing us through your content. Focusing on prayer is just something i learnt from you through these years. I cannot thank you enough. Take care of your mental & physical health as always. Loveeee you threeeee ❤❤❤
as i’m listening to you right now, want to thank you Tori. because i can feel the pain and how you struggle to just remember all of it. even if i didn’t go through the same but i think i can almost exactly relate to all of the things that you felt, the regret, confusion, guilt, etc. and i’m only on minute 4. thank you for giving us an example to share and be real to help others and to honor God. Life’s tribulations and sufferings that we are promised as followers of Christ are so much easier when we know that someone went through them too and every. single. time. Our Lord was holding us. I love you!
Wow, what a powerful video Tori and Chad! So many great points, very real and filled with wisdom through the reflection and teachings. I love the concept of doing work you love and God’s love language being obedience 💯
A “no” in one area is a “yes” to whole new areas! It’s all about perspective because when we look at the grand scheme of our lives, those no’s had to happen to be where we are. & for that we can live in gratitude of these hard moments of life! Thanks for sharing! 🤍
Such a needed encouragment - thank you Tori for sharing! 💓 I have no idea where I'm going career wise but listening to the Lord is definitely the way to go 🥰🕊
I’m literally balling while watching this. I am currently in the season of hating and being miserable at my job. I’m so unhappy and it shows in everything I do. Idk how to get out of this.
I’m going to have to watch this video a little later but I’m definitely looking forward to it . Hope y’all are having a great day so far!! Love y’all ❤
Tori, you are so inspiring. Something similar happened to me a few years ago in the work field, and now I am currently back in college learning and preparing to do my heart’s true work and your words in the video truly impacted me!
sometimes rejection is just God ‘ s redirection . . . wow wow wow . i’m not even finished with this video && it is already so so fire . thank you tori for being so so vulnerable && being willing to share this impactful story with us . i cannot wait to see how God works through your vulnerability && other’s openness ! ♡ ✞ ッ
appreciate both of your sharing so much!! already feel so blessed & encouraged after listening to both of you! thank you so much for ur faithful obedience to the Lord!!🥺🥰
Wow that was convicting for me to hear that ultimately God is our boss and we should do everything as if we’re doing it for Him. And I definitely don’t do my job like that now. I am not happy nor feel like I’m in purpose with where I’m at now and only working to bring in income. Wow this was good and a reminder to take this to prayer. Thanks for sharing!
I can somewhat relate. Back during Housing Bubble I was in pharmaceutical sales for almost 5yrs already. We had a 70% layoff, 500 out of 700 sales team. I was retained but what we, 200 of us, went through after was not fun, fulfilling. All 200 of us were let go 18 months later. Corporate culture changed as a merger happened & our family owned business gave up the culture to newer company. Pharma can be very good I never was pressured to do any thing immoral or illegal. I was let go with 3 other pharma jobs after as the economy was still bad for pharma industry. I think God was trying to get me out of pharma to do my calling somewhere else. Now I'm trying to help people with finances, retirement plans as I think we are not following God w/ our money as a country.
Love love love you guys🥰 Thanks Tori for being so vulnerable. Pressure in college is BEYOND. I finish next year and my biggest fear is I don't know what I'm going to do next with my life.
okay- I am WHEEPING. Tori, this video has been such a blessing to me(& I am sure many others) this exact same thing happened to me almost 2 years ago. It was an immediate termination where I also wasn’t happy, and I also felt it was me at fault due to character. Just as you explained. It’s something I’ve kept to myself for so long- the truth of it all- and I can remember driving away from the office afterward feeling embarrassed and praying for God to forgive me and lead me in the right direction. You are amazing and THANK YOU for your honesty. 🤍😘
It’s so so nice seeing you guys so vulnerable and open with your personal journeys! Truthfully it’s so so inspiring seeing that everybody goes through these kinds of things, and seeing Tori get through it and still praise God and still have the joy of the Holy Spirit is so amazing! Love you guys so much and watching these videos always leaves me inspired and excited to live a life for Christ!! (Because as a 16 year old, there’s a lot still to come 🤩) Living life with God is the best way! 🥳🙌 thanks so much Tori and Chad!!!
Just wanted to say I really enjoy y’all’s videos and content. I discovered y’all a few months ago and have been hooked! It’s so humbling and inspiring to see married couples who are strong men and women of the Lord. You both inspire me to pursue the Lord more and seek after him and my future spouse. Thank y’all for you do and keep it up!
I relate to this so much. I am in this “season” with my current job. I hate what I do and stay on specifically because of the money/insurance and ability to work from home. While this is a temporary struggle (my husband just finished pilot school and should be able to get hired on with an airline within a year or so), it’s been a rough 4 years of hating my job daily. I’m happier now than I have been in the last few years (as I’m pregnant with a little boy after 3.5 years of infertility and finances are easier now that my husband is working again after completing school) but because a job is such a HUGE portion of daily life, I definitely am still having a hard time. Your story gives me so much hope and I know that Gods timing is nothing but perfect 💛 I know he has a plan for our future and that I will not be in the position forever! Thank you both for always making the videos I need to hear 🥹
Awww,Thank you for sharing this with us❤❤❤. No matter what we will ALWAYS be here for you❤❤. Sending you and your baby lots and lots of love, prayer and hugss(for both of u, for now).
Thanks for sharing your story Tori! I am new here, just stumbled across this channel a couple of weeks ago and have been watching and loving all of the videos that I have seen so far! God bless!
Thank you Tori for wanting to share your story and for being vulnerable, I just know that God is going to trough you help a lot of people, God bless you guys, sending love to the three of you 💖
aww thank you for taking the time to listen to it!
Okay bebe I’ll just
“Delayed obedience is still disobedience. God’s love language is obedience. When we walk in obedience and what He is calling us to do, it’s always for our benefit.”
It seems like God delays His promises to us but that doesn't mean He isn't fulfilling them.

"Your character should match the call on your life"- this is so good!
You are SO right about the pressure on college seniors! I just graduated in May and everywhere I went people were asking me what my plans were, and I felt at fault if I didn't have an answer.
yeah it is hard..

@@jdawgn3303 thank you that means a lot🤍
I didn't complete a college course many years ago, but i think i may have been struggling with my mental health at the time, i just didn't know it. Looking back a few years later, i shouldn't have applied for that course but hey-ho. Thank you for being so vulnerable with your stories. Love you both!
Thanks for sharing your story! It deff is a kick to your ego for sure! I’ve been fired as well and it’s not a good feeling.
This was one of my favorite videos! It made me see y’all as imperfect people that I can relate to! It gave me excitement and confidence in the fruition I will one day have in Gods plan! Grateful that in a weird way I have y’all to walk with me and counsel me in difficult seasons!

Thank you for sharing this. I’m having an especially hard day in a very hard season (personally and professionally) and this made me feel a little less alone.
Thanks for doing this Tori!! I was the one that asked the question 👏🏻🙏🏼 I can totally relate!
well lookie here if that didn't happen, the lives God has transformed by speaking through yall would not be the same. praise God for rejection because He will never reject us!! love this and you guys so so uch
Excellent. We have all failed at some point, and we will do it again. Lean on the LORD.
You've mentioned part of your testimony before, Tori, but it's so good to hear it as a whole. It's encouraging to see stories of God directing our lives, even when we're not doing what we're supposed to. I definitely feel like I need to be a better coworker at my job after watching this video.

I am still stuck and unsure of what to do next, struggling with my mental health and purpose. I needed this and I really feel , I was meant to see this and you were meant to put this out now.
Thank-you so much !
Thanks so much for being so open and vulnerable here Tori! But wow how amazing is our God where he opens and closes doors for us! You’re both super inspiring in your faithfulness and I absolutely love how God has led you to where you are! Hope you three are doing well!
thanks a ton, Greg! We are doing great! How about you?!?!
@@ToriAndChad That’s so great to hear! I’m doing good! Just spent a weekend away with some friends which was a lot of fun! But not long now before I’m back at University to finish my Honours year which has been quite intense, so prayer in that would be greatly appreciated!
So nice of you to share this story. I’m 39 and have two kids but I’m learning a lot from you. Keep up the good work ❤️
I love this video, one of my favorites of theirs. Might be the vulnerability, the story was relatable. We've all been through learning experiences.
I needed to hear this right now!!! Thank you Tori for sharing. I have a few jobs that I may have to choose from. I'm still very perplexed as to which one to choose. I'm trying to let God choose but I have been out of work for a while. I lost 2 jobs due to Covid & both I had been working hard to find & would of loved to see which one might have worked out. One was veterinary sales the other was biotech working as a consultant to bring the buyer/investors together with the company looking for investors.
Such an amazing God story. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that. Like Chad said, it takes a humble heart
love love LOVE that you Chad always make sure to denigrate pride!!! LOVE it!!!
This is so at the heart of what young people need to hear...and older
Thank you for sharing this story, Tori. Your humility and transparency are always so refreshing and edifying! I am graduating soon and have felt a lot of disappointment and redirection about my dream job, and your story reminds me to slow down and trust that God is redirecting me and that He will provide. Thank you for taking the time to share Tori, and your comments at the end were so awesome Chad!!
Thank you for sharing your story. I love how you pointed out that we all need to ask God about every detail of our lives. We want His will in everything that we do:)
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I love how you focus on the importance of prayer in the midst of every decision. As a college student, I really needed this video! Love you guys!
"Delayed obedience is still disobedience." Preach it!
Seniors get sooo much pressure! Not just in college too, when I was a sophomore in highschool they had us make presentations on where we were going to college and what we were doing for work after high school. So glad I knew to let God direct my life and not let the pressure to have everything planned out get the best of me. Thanks for sharing Tori :)
This video comes at such an important time in my life and is really encouraging to listen to. Thank you for sharing.
Currently in tears listening to your story that reminds me so much of my present life. I've been miserable with my job for years and it's taken a toll on my mental health, but for some reason I haven't had the strength to walk away. Recently, my drive has gone down the drain and I am not working with excellence. As someone who loves the Lord, I feel so convicted knowing I'm not doing my best. On top of that, the enemy is taunting me with the idea that I am not worthy of a job in ministry (what I so deeply desire) because of my current lack of performance at my current job. I'm overwhelmed, but I know God is good. I know He is using this season to grow me and He is using these tests to build my faith and relationship with Him. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for sharing this testimony, Tori. It really encouraged me as I was fired from an internship a few months ago and still job searching/trusting God for open doors. It's amazing how perfect God's timing is! God bless you guys🤍
Thank you! You guys bless us so much by doing this work. I will send you an important letter soon, please keep a look out in the mail! God bless you
This video was truly timely. I am currently struggling with so many things you mentioned during this video. I felt like I had two mentors speaking wisdom into me. Thank you so much. Would God continue to bless you.
This was such a blessing for me to hear! Thank you for sharing this story Tori!!!
Thank you for sharing Tori! Hearing your story definitely encourages me. I just graduated from College and I definitely agree that there is so much pressure along with the struggle of comparison present in Senior year. It feels like you have to get a job lined up as soon as possible and have everything figured out & everyone is asking you what is next. I was super stressed out trying to finish assignments etc. and also prepare and apply for jobs. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do... but it is so true that rejection leads to redirection in the way that God would have us to go! And I’m so thankful for that. We have to go through hardship to be humbled and to grow. Such a good message!
Thank you for sharing Tori! I am currently going through something similar where I don’t feel happy in my job, I have talked to my husband about quitting my job but I feel that if I leave this job I will feel like a failure because I am currently getting my degree for this career and that mean I would have to choose another career which I have no idea what I would choose. I would love it if you keep me in your prayer for God to guide me to where he wants me to be. Love you guys! 💗
Thank you Tori for sharing such a personal life story with us! It takes a lot to be so vulnerable and share the trut. I gain so much strength from the both of you constantly! God is truly working through you two and blessing us through your content. Focusing on prayer is just something i learnt from you through these years. I cannot thank you enough.
Take care of your mental & physical health as always. Loveeee you threeeee ❤❤❤
as i’m listening to you right now, want to thank you Tori. because i can feel the pain and how you struggle to just remember all of it. even if i didn’t go through the same but i think i can almost exactly relate to all of the things that you felt, the regret, confusion, guilt, etc. and i’m only on minute 4. thank you for giving us an example to share and be real to help others and to honor God. Life’s tribulations and sufferings that we are promised as followers of Christ are so much easier when we know that someone went through them too and every. single. time. Our Lord was holding us. I love you!
life pressure and pressure we give ourselves it’s really the worst
So many takeaways! Thanks Tori for sharing, it means alot... :)
Wow, what a powerful video Tori and Chad! So many great points, very real and filled with wisdom through the reflection and teachings. I love the concept of doing work you love and God’s love language being obedience 💯
Thank you so so much for sharing this!!! It was truly inspiring and I know if it helped me it will benefit many others!! ❤️ God bless you!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤️
A “no” in one area is a “yes” to whole new areas! It’s all about perspective because when we look at the grand scheme of our lives, those no’s had to happen to be where we are. & for that we can live in gratitude of these hard moments of life! Thanks for sharing! 🤍
yes! That's so good!
Thank you for sharing 😍 you have ministered to my heart.
Such a needed encouragment - thank you Tori for sharing! 💓 I have no idea where I'm going career wise but listening to the Lord is definitely the way to go 🥰🕊
Great encouragement in obedience to God! Thanks for being vulnerable and so encouraging
Powerful video. I believe this is going to help many people. Love all 3 of you. Have a blessed and prosperous day
I’m literally balling while watching this. I am currently in the season of hating and being miserable at my job. I’m so unhappy and it shows in everything I do. Idk how to get out of this.
I’m going to have to watch this video a little later but I’m definitely looking forward to it . Hope y’all are having a great day so far!! Love y’all ❤
Love you dude!
This video had many Aaaha Moments! Thank youuuuu Thank youuu. I need to rewatch it again and take notes.
Tori, you are so inspiring. Something similar happened to me a few years ago in the work field, and now I am currently back in college learning and preparing to do my heart’s true work and your words in the video truly impacted me!
Great video by the way! Thank you Tori for being transparent and sharing your heart about that season of your life.
sometimes rejection is just God ‘ s redirection . . . wow wow wow . i’m not even finished with this video && it is already so so fire . thank you tori for being so so vulnerable && being willing to share this impactful story with us . i cannot wait to see how God works through your vulnerability && other’s openness ! ♡ ✞ ッ
appreciate both of your sharing so much!! already feel so blessed & encouraged after listening to both of you! thank you so much for ur faithful obedience to the Lord!!🥺🥰
I needed this today! God has been telling me to let go of a side job to focus on my main thing more. This is giving me the push to make the call!
God bless you guys. This video's just so timely and relatable to my current situation 😭 God spoke to me through this. Thank You Jesus 🙏🏻
This was so good really opened my eyes! Always dropping wisdom from holy spirt! Thank you for sharing this story and being vulnerable!
Wow that was convicting for me to hear that ultimately God is our boss and we should do everything as if we’re doing it for Him. And I definitely don’t do my job like that now. I am not happy nor feel like I’m in purpose with where I’m at now and only working to bring in income. Wow this was good and a reminder to take this to prayer. Thanks for sharing!
I can somewhat relate. Back during Housing Bubble I was in pharmaceutical sales for almost 5yrs already. We had a 70% layoff, 500 out of 700 sales team. I was retained but what we, 200 of us, went through after was not fun, fulfilling. All 200 of us were let go 18 months later. Corporate culture changed as a merger happened & our family owned business gave up the culture to newer company. Pharma can be very good I never was pressured to do any thing immoral or illegal. I was let go with 3 other pharma jobs after as the economy was still bad for pharma industry. I think God was trying to get me out of pharma to do my calling somewhere else. Now I'm trying to help people with finances, retirement plans as I think we are not following God w/ our money as a country.
Thank you for this ♥I've gone through something similar, it is nice to know I am not alone
Thank you for opening up Tori! The Lord is already using you and your family for His Glory! God bless you guys 🤍🤍
Thank you so much for sharing Tori. I so needed to hear this right now. God Bless You and I know you will help a lot of people through your story.
Love love love you guys🥰 Thanks Tori for being so vulnerable. Pressure in college is BEYOND. I finish next year and my biggest fear is I don't know what I'm going to do next with my life.
such a powerful and encouraging testimony! thank you for sharing your story and for your humility 💛
Thank you Tori for being so vulnerable in this video and sharing your testimony! It really did touch me and teach me a thing or two! 💕👏🏻
You were fortunate to have a great mentor. You definitely had help in the time it was needed. What r u two doing now
okay- I am WHEEPING. Tori, this video has been such a blessing to me(& I am sure many others) this exact same thing happened to me almost 2 years ago. It was an immediate termination where I also wasn’t happy, and I also felt it was me at fault due to character. Just as you explained. It’s something I’ve kept to myself for so long- the truth of it all- and I can remember driving away from the office afterward feeling embarrassed and praying for God to forgive me and lead me in the right direction. You are amazing and THANK YOU for your honesty. 🤍😘
Thank you for being so open and transparent and honest! 🔥👏🏻
Thank you for sharing, Tori!✝️😊
Loved the ToriStori (story)!! Thank you for sharing.
This really touched me !!! Thank you for the inspiration. God is working 💗 -Mallory age 22
How has God redirected you?
yes
It’s so so nice seeing you guys so vulnerable and open with your personal journeys! Truthfully it’s so so inspiring seeing that everybody goes through these kinds of things, and seeing Tori get through it and still praise God and still have the joy of the Holy Spirit is so amazing! Love you guys so much and watching these videos always leaves me inspired and excited to live a life for Christ!! (Because as a 16 year old, there’s a lot still to come 🤩) Living life with God is the best way! 🥳🙌 thanks so much Tori and Chad!!!
Just wanted to say I really enjoy y’all’s videos and content. I discovered y’all a few months ago and have been hooked! It’s so humbling and inspiring to see married couples who are strong men and women of the Lord. You both inspire me to pursue the Lord more and seek after him and my future spouse. Thank y’all for you do and keep it up!
Love that you kept the beginning in😂 can't wait to hear this story!
aww hope it is helpful!
Love y'all! Beautiful testimony
I relate to this so much. I am in this “season” with my current job. I hate what I do and stay on specifically because of the money/insurance and ability to work from home. While this is a temporary struggle (my husband just finished pilot school and should be able to get hired on with an airline within a year or so), it’s been a rough 4 years of hating my job daily. I’m happier now than I have been in the last few years (as I’m pregnant with a little boy after 3.5 years of infertility and finances are easier now that my husband is working again after completing school) but because a job is such a HUGE portion of daily life, I definitely am still having a hard time. Your story gives me so much hope and I know that Gods timing is nothing but perfect 💛 I know he has a plan for our future and that I will not be in the position forever! Thank you both for always making the videos I need to hear 🥹
Thank you for sharing this!!
Awww,Thank you for sharing this with us❤❤❤. No matter what we will ALWAYS be here for you❤❤. Sending you and your baby lots and lots of love, prayer and hugss(for both of u, for now).
Thank you for sharing 💕. Very helpful ❣️
Thanks for sharing your story Tori! I am new here, just stumbled across this channel a couple of weeks ago and have been watching and loving all of the videos that I have seen so far! God bless!
