When Alexa read the scripture I burst into tears, it was everything I needed to hear. Building our relationships with God shouldn’t feel like unwilling work and she is absolutely right in that the only way we can know him is through his words. We can pray and I do but it often feels one sided and that’s because the response is in his scripture. That is how I need to seek his comfort and love, thank you for reminding me. I also think to Carlos’ points that reading can be difficult and it isn’t for everyone, perhaps listening to others read would be effective or music that others have written might be another way to overcome this?
Reading the Biblie is for everyone. The only way to hear God is through his Scripture. We talk to him when we pray and we hear his voice through Scripture. Maybe your point was that we can also hear audibles of the Bible. But IT needs to be the Bible, nothing can replace it. I also struggle to set time apart to read. A study Bible can help. I recomend Macarthur Study Bible.
Carmín Armenta Yes! Audible versions of the Bible is what I meant! Thank you for the recommendation, I’m only now starting to read scriptures for myself, and interpreting on my own, but it can be difficult. Hopefully this helps!
Ocean is so adorable ❤️ the way Carlos explains to him is adorable Carlos you’re a great daddy 😭 makes me cry love you and Alexa and your fam ❤️☺️ thank you for sharing a little part of your lives with us your fans God bless you and your family 🥰 love Maslowgirl101

About the reading the bible topic: I'm currently a flight attendant and I just started bringing my Bible with me on trips. Since we are not doing a food service because of Covid, on longer flights I start to read scriptures. I want to start getting more into the word because I'm also one who struggles with pushing myself into reading it in my free time. So far I'm learning so much.
I struggled to read the word, and God has changed the way I see the Word. Basically with all the chaos in the world and everything changing in America , I don't want to be led astray. I want to be the virgin with her lamp filled with oil, waiting for the Return of our Lord. I need his word to Prepare me , to show me the schemes of Satan , to help lead a family ! His guidance is at our fingertips , and when I hear something that doesn't line up with God's word I will not follow it. Also the testimonies of the Saints and their struggles help me and how they saw God in move in their lives is so encouraging ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Carlos, you're not alone Brosef. I'll be praying for you brother. Here's something I do and it helps me a ton. Before I open up the Bible, I think about the God who I serve, and who He is, literally, I think about Him creating the earth in 6 days, or raising Lazarus from the dead. Sometimes we just say the Christian-ese but don't take the time to meditate on what He's literally done. He literally said "light" and BOOM, light was created. Take some time and think about that before opening up the Bible, and then think...... Ummm Yea, that same God wrote a book. He wrote it and a worm....like me... can read it. WHAT!!! I don't even rate, yet, we serve a gracious God and we are able to read his words. Good luck Brother In Him. J.
wow wow wow, Carlos and Alexa, y'all will never truly understand the impact that the last five minutes of your video had on me tonight (while I'm watching this.) I have had the hardest time enjoying reading the Word and spending time with God, so I kind of just gave up. I gave up because I felt like I was failing in my ability to understand who God really is. BUT being reminded that this is a RELATIONSHIP that will take WORK reminds me that it is a process and I need to have compassion on myself. God is compassionate and gracious, so I need to be compassionate and gracious with myself. Thank you for using this platform to honor the Lord and help other believers.
I'm the same way, it's hard for me to be in the word but I think after listening to you guys and hearing that you found your inspiration to be in the word. I think I need to find my inspiration again to be in the word. thank you!
I loved this new ending style! This message specifically was exactly what I needed to hear. I have been having a lot of trouble getting through my daily readings and like Carlos it felt like work and I couldn’t find the motivation to do it. I really enjoy your guys’ vlogs. Thank you so much for doing them and adding spiritual tidbits!
Im so glad what you shared Carlos. Sharing that you struggle reading the Bible is honest and it’s something I think we all struggle with. I personally struggle with reading the Bible for the exact same reason! It’s hard cause you crave and you want to but your mind and the world fills up that want. If that makes sense. I love you both and you help me fill my spirit and life with good and hopeful! Glad you guys are safe!
Now I am not one for ever writing in the comments but I would just like to say that I have been following you guys for a while now and I have loved seeing you guys grow in your faith and grow your family. You guys have helped me a lot in my own faith. Today my fathers coworkers wife passed away from cancer and I have just felt led to do something for him because they had little to no faith or hope in their lives before she passed. So what I am going to do is go to my youth group and ask them to just write on this card telling him that we love him and that he is not alone, (I’m apart of this thing called students leadership with my youth pastor where we help him come up with ideas for Wednesday night services and helping our community) so I was just hoping that everyone would keep my fathers coworker in your prayers and to let him grow to love what God has given him. Thank You for all the years and hopefully future years of Vlogs. I will always be praying for your family and everyone in the chat! Have a blessed day!
Alexa, I absolutely admire the way you talk about God. I have recently rekindled my relationship with God and seeing and knowing people love God so much makes me want God more and more each day in my life.
This family vlog channel should get more recognition, not just because it's Carlos, but also because they all are just so cute together and much better than many other family vlogs who just flex money and stuff... These guys are very chill even though they are millionaires.
I was a "rusher" in the past, but realizing your faith now is increrible! I Love it more! ♡ We gotta give our praise to God, we gotta sing about God, talk about God, theres a lot of people around the world that need meet God. The lord need us to this work.
I have definitely struggled with my faith and my relationship with God before. My father has gone through a few health scares in the past few years so after he went through his last one, I was very angry with God because I couldn't understand why He would let these things happen to my father. I feel like now I am able to get back to praying and asking Him for help when I need it. We all go through those valleys and those peaks...sometimes those peaks seem like mountains that we'll never get over. I'm getting through it now but it was very hard in the past. You guys are amazing and I love your videos no matter how long or how short they are. Loved you all since Day 1.
I'm just watching this & we just had an earthquake in SoCal about an hour ago... The scripture and conversation at the end really gave me the peace I needed. Thank you guys! I needed to be reminded my God's heart for me.
Love the fruit of the spirit joke when you guys were watching the weather and I love your guy's faith! It encourages me everyday!! I love you guys so much!! And its so true!! I watch some of the old BTR concerts and you were so little, Carlos. Anyway, love your Seattle Seahawks hat
Yes I do have the same struggle Carlos. It does feel like work. Plus for me to sit down and read any book is hard cause I know I can be doing something else. Love you guys!
Carlos, I am on your level, I struggle reading the Bible as well. It's a challenge for me, but I love how you decided that you want to get to know God more and write music about him, In order to do that you have to dive into the Bible. That's an awesome perspective change, and I wish you all the best on that. Alexa, I love how you said that no matter how badly we mess up, God loves us already and there's nothing we can do that'll make him stop loving us
I totally feel the difficult to read your Bible thing! I was having difficulty reading because I wanted to learn but nothing seemed applicable to my situation (I’ve been in and out of the hospital for the past year and I’ve had 7 brain surgeries in that time) but I remembered that the Bible has so many different genres within it, there’s action, and supernatural occupancies, heart warming stories that lift your spirits, and music.(especially in the book of Psalm. ) So I asked the Lord for a book that was applicable and made sense for what I needed to hear from Him and for what I could/ needed to learn from and about him in that time and that’s what He gave me.
I’ve felt so distant from God recently. And as much as I know that there’s not a “too far” from Him, I still feel so uncomfortable trying to come back. Starting to pray again is hard! And I’ve struggled with this a lot. The scripture from Zephaniah hit so hard and I really needed it today.
Wow Lex and Carlos! The sit down at the end of this video was such a blessing to me! Carlos, I am feeling the same way you are with reading the Bible recently. The way you both communicated about it and dove into what that means really is so eye opening and such a blessing! Thank you so much for that!!
Hi guys! First of all, thank you for doing that little talk at the end of your videos. I do agree with Carlos, I did struggle to read the Bible for the longest time. Recently I have been either listening by myself or listening as a Pastor explains it. I decided that I won’t read it just to read and complete the whole bible in 1 year. I am reading it at my own time, reading 1 chapter a day or even diving the chapter into 2 days if I feel like it has a lot of content in it. It is amazing that you guys share your faith with us and are not afraid to have those questions that we all had or will have at some point in our walk with Christ.
Your WOW was soo good! Thank you so much for being willing to be open with us and I too struggle with getting into the word consistently but there was so much truth to what you said. Thanks for the encouragement and allowing God to speak through you guys ❤️
My church at the beginning of the year was giving away chronological study bibles and I have been reading it. I started it about a month and a half ago and it has been so eye opening and helpful to get into gods word. It breaks it down into days so that you don’t get overwhelmed. I love the places that they stop sometimes cause it stops it right at a moment that your like what happened what comes next and it makes you excited to read the next day
I think a lot of believers struggle with reading the Bible. I know I do. The Bible app plans really help me learn what verses to turn to and the plans that go through each book help even more. Because they give you the context like a commentary which is so convenient for a busy momma like myself! I went to bible college but just don't have time to pull out commentaries like they recommended there! I think the pure want to know God and grow closer to Him, He'll speak volumes to you! Praying for you guys! You're always such an encouragement! 🥰
OMG!!! Caris and Alexa I really like you guys, because to me you guys have one of the most beautiful families I have ever seen,you guys always send all of us very positive messages, so thank you for that, and I’m in love with your adorable babies,God Bless your Beautiful Family
Can I just say thank you to you guys for being a source of light and positivity. I’ve moved around a lot in the last 2 years, and not having a consistent community in Christ has been hard. I consider you guys part of my community in faith🙏🏽 blessings for you and your family!
I just recently started Bing watching your videos and I am a fan of both of y'all as actors and now as parents. As I started watching your TH-cam channel I noticed y'all always make time to talk about God and the awesome things he does and watching this video particularly about relationship with God, I've always thought that I struggled with the word of God with my Adhd and the way it was portrayed to me. I lost my faith in going to church and in God 8-10 years ago, but deep down I always felt like he was still there in my life. This wow moment has made me realize that there is more to life than just working all the time. I need to get my faith back not only in God but in myself to be the version of myself.
Yesss exactly that’s totally how I feel Carlos I struggle soo hard reading the Bible even just praying is hard I want a relationship with god but I just don’t know how I try every day to pray to god and Jesus Christ but I’m not sure that’s enough, recently me and my mom and siblings got in a car accident even though nobody got hurt and the incident was super minor it really scared me and a week before that my mom and sister got in a accident too! I don’t know what god is trying to tell me but I’m listening!
Just talk to the Lord and ask him to help you. Trust me, He will especially if you are desiring a deeper walk with him. He loves you more than you will ever know! Thank you Jesus.❤❤❤
Keep going I was like that at first the moment you get closer to God satan and his demons attack thats why they say to put on God's armor cause you'll literally have a war with satan while trying to get closer to God satan dont like it and will bring your life up and down i just kept going while my mind was saying otherwise everyday and night hour or minute i prayed read the bible and kept going no matter what keep going cause hes always with you! those negative thoughts and temptation is satan trying to draw yo away from him in the bible it says two people that can get in your head is satan and God but satan cant harm you knowing your protected by Our Lord Jesus Christ but he can make your life hard people think us brothers and sisters live a happy perfect life little do some people know we are literally fighting everyday Blessings to You! And your Family! Please don't give up! Especially during these time we are living in more and more closer in going HOME 🙏🏼👆🏼
It is so good that you really want a relationship with God! Prayer is a big part of that. There’s a lot of great Bible based information on jw.org that helped me :)
I do struggle to try to really encourage myself to want to read the word. And, I feel like it's normal especially being young believers. But, I feel like you guys kind of gave me an insight in finding excitement to read the bible and really just wanting to learn more about God and continue to build our relationship with him. I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSS!!!!!
When alexa was reading that scripture, it was making me happy. I love how you guys are so religious. I'm just like you Carlos with reading the Bible, I feel like its working. This ending segment was really uplifting.
I feel the same way as Los regarding reading the Bible and it didn’t make sense until I heard you both have this conversation. I’ve been struggling with depression and I’ve come to realize that what I need is God in my life and I want to know him. I NEED to know him. Thank you both for sharing your thoughts!! Stay blessed!
You guys are such an example to me. I struggle sometimes with my studies and things as well and really getting into it. But watching you guys and seeing how you love God so much inspires me to work on my relationship with Him as well. I love you guys. Keep doing the work and being an example unto the believers.
It’s amazing how God works in mysterious ways. I grew up in church, and God’s worked so many miracles in my life. The biggest battle I have is also simply reading the word everyday, I feel that god speaks to me through music and people, and little things throughout my days. I need to get better about spending time with Him, and getting to know Him better. Thanks for the message guys 💜
Yes, I can totally relate to Carlos’. I never wanted to read the Bible, I felt obligated to do so until I truly surrendered my life to the Lord. Since the beginning of 2020, I’ve been reading my Bible everyday and now I actually understand it like I never have before. God is so good!! 💗
OMG that sunset at 18:07 is so mega gorgeous. I loveee sunsets and that one is really beautiful. Im glad that nothing major happen to you all and the rest of Maui. I live in Georgia so we got some strong wind/rain from hurricane Sally. But nothing bad, at least for my family
Just wanted to take a moment to share a blessing. I live in southeast Kansas. My father was a preacher my entire life. I'm 50 now. My father is going in to the last quarter of life on this earth. I'm sitting in a wound care center, having a new bed sore evaluated for treatment on him. I pray for God's direction and strength as we care for his physical body on this earth. Anyway Im In the waiting room watching the TV, not really paying attention, then all of a sudden carlos and Alexa's name appear on the screen advertising your new special. I immediately smile and start crying. Why? Because it reminded me that no matter how overwhelmed we get, or tired or discouraged, there are christians out there praying for all God's people and God gives us who and what we need in our lives. Sometimes we just have to pay attention and be reminded God is right there. Just call on Him. Thank you for always sharing and encouraging, across the world!! Yes even in KANSAS!! God is great and powerful!
Just started watching your videos and love them! Totally agree with how reading the Word can sometimes be challenging. Anything that I put law (works) on I instantly notice myself not reading or struggling with, but when I am flowing under God's grace knowing its not based off of my performance, but based off of my righteousness in Jesus I read the Word way more often and flow more! Just my perspective that has happened in my life. God bless you and your family! ❤
I love this 10 minute message at end and have missed your videos so much! I have definitely struggled/still am struggling to dive deeper into getting to know the Lord more! It’s good to hear I’m not alone! God bless!
man I miss you guys vlogs so much and your kids Ocean And Kingston look just like Carlos and they are getting so big and I hope you and your family stay safe from this Covid-19 mess this is no joke. Love You Guys Your Fan From Florence, South Carolina.
Thank you so much for this! It was long awaited. You both are a lovely family. Ocean and Kingston are so cute! 😍😍😍 God bless y'all. Thank you for sharing ur amazing life with ur fans. Plz stay safe and I hope the hurricane is not bad at all.
I love Carlos’ perspective on reading the Bible. I feel that way because it does sometimes feel like a chore. I’m trying to be better about it but listening to what you guys shared really gave me a different perspective. Thanks for sharing about your faith and you family! Love you guys!
I too have struggled getting into the word, and I have to say I was pumped when this was the topic you both touched on in this video! I literally was thinking about this exact subject right before I watched this video!! I yearn to know more and have a deeper relationship with God but have struggled with this. It’s Amazing how God will put things/people in you paths to help you to change your mind set. God Is Good!! I love watching your family Alexa and Carlos, you have such positivity and so grounded in your Faith!! It’ so awesome especially among all the negativity and the chaos in the world right now! Thank you for being an awesome example ❤️
Just when Alexa read the scriptures I got interested...like Ive been a big fan of her movies so I didnt think she would be into that much of religious stuffs(im so happy) and when she tells more about her own perspectives of God and life I am so moved and I learned more of the scriptures and and His love for everyone. ❤❤❤❤
I LOVE the new end segment on your videos! It's SUPER motivating to want to get into God's Word when yeah it feels like work sometimes. Thanks for being encouraging and sharing your faith!
just found your channel. i didn't know you guys were believers. SO COOL! I appreciated your words and new perspective. Faith has been hard in cover but God remains faithful!!
❤ at the end and the scripture and devotion and disscusion. I am like Carlos I find it work sometimes, or something I put on my list of things to do today. When I read the bible un like my husband who is so on fire and excited about reading and learning the bible and history of the bible. He is so smart and I learn alot from him, but I need to pray and ask God to help me have that same joy and excitement to read the word. Thank you both and can't wait to check out your Podcast!!
It's super awesome that you're looking at it from a different perspective and that you're so willing to do in in order to build that relationship! I think it's also a HUUUGE plus that have have Lex to help you along the way. Love you guys!!
I swear to God, I never knew your channel existed. I first watched BTR when I was five years old in 2009 and now I'm 15. A decade ago my goodness! It's so great to see one of you guys again!! I pray that you and your family are safe during these tough times! ❤️❤️❤️
With what you were saying about not having fun to read and finding it hard and eventually changing your perspective.. for me, I have trouble too. Instead of thinking of it as work, I think of it as having a desire. In order for me to learn more and do more, I find the desire to want to read and then it stops feeling like work and starts feeling like I’m doing something more productive or worth spending time on.
I have and am struggling to get into the word SO much. I love Jesus and I see Him in every aspect of my life but it’s tough for me to sit and read. It feels like “work” most of the time and just like you, I need to change my perspective. I love to write poetry so maybe that can be the start of my inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your struggles Carlos. It gives me peace to know I am not the only one that feels the same way in the word. I pray that we both find inspiration and growth as we learn to glorify Jesus in our own unique ways.
Carlos, I can relate to you so much. I have the worst time trying to read the Bible. I never thought about it being like work to me. Maybe I need to put it in a different prospective like you did. Thank you to both of you for the great message! I’m glad y’all made it through the storm. ❤️
I used to try to wake up early to read my bible before work but I rarely had time because I’d hit snooze! Then I found the daily audio bible and now I listen to it on my thirty minute commute and never miss a day!! 🤗
This is really cool because the stuff y'all talked about the Bible at the end, I seriously needed it. God is so good like that ya know? Recently I went to my friends and asked them to pray for me because I don't pray like I should and I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever to spend time getting to know God through the Bible. But then I realized I needed to pray. I can't just ask other people to pray and let God come to me, I need to go to Him. And I did. I prayed a few nights ago and immediately the next day I felt my prayers being answered. I felt on fire for God. I prayed to Him multiple times that day and it felt good. Now I still haven't done much bible study. I really struggle with that. But what y'all said, that your devotion to God shouldn't become of works but out of love. I really feel like God was speaking to me through you. Because after my prayers started being answered I was trying to make a way to fit reading the Bible into my schedule. Which sounds horrible I know cuz it kinda is horrible. I was trying to make time with God a thing I check off a checklist. So thank you for being such an inspiration and a light to the people that follow you.
The wow was so spot on with what I’ve been doing the last week. I just came to a place where I’ve always had faith but I want to understand and learn and re-learn more about God. Something that helped me is grabbing a Mother’s Bible. Within it has challenges to accomplishing different goals you may have (mine is reading the Bible in a year) as well as daily devotionals witching scripture to tie in scripture to motherhood and things we may be struggling with as a mother. I’ve really enjoyed it so far and look forward to my first 15 each morning (although it turns into a first 30 because I am enjoying it so much). Maybe there is a Father’s Bible that offers a similar set-up!
At the end I honestly relate. My mom was telling me the exact same thing that Alexa was saying. I'm trying to read the Bible more too. Hope everything is well for all of you. God bless the family 😄❤️
Hi Carlos. It’s Tia Wendy!!! Hope u guys are safe!!! Tia Alejandro sends his Love!!! OMG the boys look like Xavi & Andre even the tippy toeing walking... jejeje how cute!!!
you guys make my day more better and make me believe that there are good people in this world. Love you guys so much and I hope that your family and friends are doing well!
I’m working on changing my perspective of reading the Bible. I’ve never been one to want to just sit down and read the Bible, but through this quarantine, I’m wanting to start doing that. I just don’t know where to start when I have the whole Bible in front of me! Btw, love seeing a couple talk about this openly on TH-cam! May God bless your family in ways you never thought possible! ❤️
The ending was wonderful. I’m praying that God will continue to grow you all individually as well as together in His word. I’ve struggled with the same thing at one point or another, but the Holy Spirit always gives me a new zeal to continue to read the word so I’m praying that will happen for you, Carlos! Continue to be salt and light❤️❤️❤️
id would totally listen to Carlos' christian music!. I struggle so much with getting into the word, but the more I do it daily, the more I fall in love with it and become so interested in all the stories
Its so inspiring watching Alexa get animated about talking about her relationship with God and her passion for Him ❤️ But I can absolutely relate to you, Carlos. Having the discipline to sit and read the Bible is a difficult thing at times. Love you guys and your family! ☺️
Aloha PenaVegas! Nice to see you guys. While I was watching your vlog, I was watching the re-run episodes of "Big Time Rush" on TV. Glad to hear you survived a hurricane! Been there. 🏝🌪🌧
Y’all are awesome !! Been watching you from the beginning ❣️ Definitely have a struggle on trying to be consistent in my bible reading. I do feel like sometimes I can get lost or sometimes I feel like I don’t know what I should be reading. Love y’all a lot and God bless you and your little family 🤍
I relate so much to this. I find it so hard to read the bible on the daily. I prefer my worship and prayer but Alexa put it perfectly. Relationships take work, so building if I want a relationship with God, I need to put in the work. Thank you for this perspective. It really has helped and inspired me.
I know exactly what you mean Carlos. I have a hard time getting into the Wor of God. When I do read though, there is always something I find that is fitting to what I am going through or need to hear. And, as you are talking about wanting to write music for Him and wanting to read the Bible more so you can do that, I have felt the same desire because I am currently in the process of writing a book for God. I hope all goes well. I love y'all and God Bless
Hey Familia! Just a heads up this did happen a while ago! It just took us that long to get the episode up!
LexLovesLos U we’re funny on big time Rush
I'm glad you are all ok 💕
This is timely, because we’re now preparing for Hurricane Sally on the Gulf Coast. ⛈🌬🌊
I love you guys!!
It's ok we love your content no matter what. ❤️❤️
When Alexa read the scripture I burst into tears, it was everything I needed to hear. Building our relationships with God shouldn’t feel like unwilling work and she is absolutely right in that the only way we can know him is through his words. We can pray and I do but it often feels one sided and that’s because the response is in his scripture. That is how I need to seek his comfort and love, thank you for reminding me. I also think to Carlos’ points that reading can be difficult and it isn’t for everyone, perhaps listening to others read would be effective or music that others have written might be another way to overcome this?
Reading the Biblie is for everyone. The only way to hear God is through his Scripture. We talk to him when we pray and we hear his voice through
Scripture. Maybe your point was that we can also hear audibles of the Bible. But IT needs to be the Bible, nothing can replace it. I also struggle to set time apart to read. A study Bible can help. I recomend Macarthur Study Bible.
Carmín Armenta Yes! Audible versions of the Bible is what I meant! Thank you for the recommendation, I’m only now starting to read scriptures for myself, and interpreting on my own, but it can be difficult. Hopefully this helps!
These many people think BTR should make a new season of the show or an album
👇
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
If they do the series again, it is very likely that they will take another break because of the abusive contract
Arthur Melo wym?

About the reading the bible topic: I'm currently a flight attendant and I just started bringing my Bible with me on trips. Since we are not doing a food service because of Covid, on longer flights I start to read scriptures. I want to start getting more into the word because I'm also one who struggles with pushing myself into reading it in my free time. So far I'm learning so much.
They grow up so fast....no I’m not talking about Ocean and Kingston, I’m talking about Carlos and Alexa 😭😅 #BTR #spykids
I struggled to read the word, and God has changed the way I see the Word. Basically with all the chaos in the world and everything changing in America , I don't want to be led astray. I want to be the virgin with her lamp filled with oil, waiting for the Return of our Lord. I need his word to Prepare me , to show me the schemes of Satan , to help lead a family ! His guidance is at our fingertips , and when I hear something that doesn't line up with God's word I will not follow it. Also the testimonies of the Saints and their struggles help me and how they saw God in move in their lives is so encouraging ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Carlos, you're not alone Brosef. I'll be praying for you brother. Here's something I do and it helps me a ton.
Before I open up the Bible, I think about the God who I serve, and who He is, literally, I think about Him creating the earth in 6 days, or raising Lazarus from the dead. Sometimes we just say the Christian-ese but don't take the time to meditate on what He's literally done. He literally said "light" and BOOM, light was created. Take some time and think about that before opening up the Bible, and then think...... Ummm Yea, that same God wrote a book. He wrote it and a worm....like me... can read it. WHAT!!! I don't even rate, yet, we serve a gracious God and we are able to read his words.
Good luck Brother
In Him.
J.
Wow man! Thanks for sharing! Been so inspired reading all these comments! Hope you have a great weekend 🤙
wow wow wow, Carlos and Alexa, y'all will never truly understand the impact that the last five minutes of your video had on me tonight (while I'm watching this.) I have had the hardest time enjoying reading the Word and spending time with God, so I kind of just gave up. I gave up because I felt like I was failing in my ability to understand who God really is. BUT being reminded that this is a RELATIONSHIP that will take WORK reminds me that it is a process and I need to have compassion on myself. God is compassionate and gracious, so I need to be compassionate and gracious with myself. Thank you for using this platform to honor the Lord and help other believers.
I'm the same way, it's hard for me to be in the word but I think after listening to you guys and hearing that you found your inspiration to be in the word. I think I need to find my inspiration again to be in the word. thank you!
worLd
I loved this new ending style! This message specifically was exactly what I needed to hear. I have been having a lot of trouble getting through my daily readings and like Carlos it felt like work and I couldn’t find the motivation to do it. I really enjoy your guys’ vlogs. Thank you so much for doing them and adding spiritual tidbits!
Im so glad what you shared Carlos. Sharing that you struggle reading the Bible is honest and it’s something I think we all struggle with. I personally struggle with reading the Bible for the exact same reason! It’s hard cause you crave and you want to but your mind and the world fills up that want. If that makes sense.
I love you both and you help me fill my spirit and life with good and hopeful! Glad you guys are safe!
Now I am not one for ever writing in the comments but I would just like to say that I have been following you guys for a while now and I have loved seeing you guys grow in your faith and grow your family. You guys have helped me a lot in my own faith. Today my fathers coworkers wife passed away from cancer and I have just felt led to do something for him because they had little to no faith or hope in their lives before she passed. So what I am going to do is go to my youth group and ask them to just write on this card telling him that we love him and that he is not alone, (I’m apart of this thing called students leadership with my youth pastor where we help him come up with ideas for Wednesday night services and helping our community) so I was just hoping that everyone would keep my fathers coworker in your prayers and to let him grow to love what God has given him. Thank You for all the years and hopefully future years of Vlogs. I will always be praying for your family and everyone in the chat! Have a blessed day!
Alexa, I absolutely admire the way you talk about God. I have recently rekindled my relationship with God and seeing and knowing people love God so much makes me want God more and more each day in my life.
This family vlog channel should get more recognition, not just because it's Carlos, but also because they all are just so cute together and much better than many other family vlogs who just flex money and stuff... These guys are very chill even though they are millionaires.
I was a "rusher" in the past, but realizing your faith now is increrible! I Love it more! ♡ We gotta give our praise to God, we gotta sing about God, talk about God, theres a lot of people around the world that need meet God. The lord need us to this work.
I have definitely struggled with my faith and my relationship with God before. My father has gone through a few health scares in the past few years so after he went through his last one, I was very angry with God because I couldn't understand why He would let these things happen to my father. I feel like now I am able to get back to praying and asking Him for help when I need it. We all go through those valleys and those peaks...sometimes those peaks seem like mountains that we'll never get over. I'm getting through it now but it was very hard in the past.
You guys are amazing and I love your videos no matter how long or how short they are. Loved you all since Day 1.
I'm just watching this & we just had an earthquake in SoCal about an hour ago... The scripture and conversation at the end really gave me the peace I needed. Thank you guys! I needed to be reminded my God's heart for me.
Omg you have the swirly slide in the backyard and I didn’t know!!! That is amazing!!
Ocean is adorable 💙
I know right !!!
I know too .!😚☺️
Praying you guys will be safe.
Awww he said “Dad come inside” 🥺🥺 so protective. In love with them 🤍
Love the fruit of the spirit joke when you guys were watching the weather and I love your guy's faith! It encourages me everyday!! I love you guys so much!! And its so true!! I watch some of the old BTR concerts and you were so little, Carlos. Anyway, love your Seattle Seahawks hat
Yes I do have the same struggle Carlos. It does feel like work. Plus for me to sit down and read any book is hard cause I know I can be doing something else. Love you guys!
Carlos, I am on your level, I struggle reading the Bible as well. It's a challenge for me, but I love how you decided that you want to get to know God more and write music about him, In order to do that you have to dive into the Bible. That's an awesome perspective change, and I wish you all the best on that. Alexa, I love how you said that no matter how badly we mess up, God loves us already and there's nothing we can do that'll make him stop loving us
Ima big fan bro big time rush my favorite show
Mine too
9:36-9:42 u have the swirly slide!? omg i've always wanted to go down that slide
Stay safe ❤️
And continue being that adorable family that you are 💞
I totally feel the difficult to read your Bible thing! I was having difficulty reading because I wanted to learn but nothing seemed applicable to my situation (I’ve been in and out of the hospital for the past year and I’ve had 7 brain surgeries in that time) but I remembered that the Bible has so many different genres within it, there’s action, and supernatural occupancies, heart warming stories that lift your spirits, and music.(especially in the book of Psalm. ) So I asked the Lord for a book that was applicable and made sense for what I needed to hear from Him and for what I could/ needed to learn from and about him in that time and that’s what He gave me.
I’ve felt so distant from God recently. And as much as I know that there’s not a “too far” from Him, I still feel so uncomfortable trying to come back. Starting to pray again is hard! And I’ve struggled with this a lot. The scripture from Zephaniah hit so hard and I really needed it today.
Wow Lex and Carlos! The sit down at the end of this video was such a blessing to me! Carlos, I am feeling the same way you are with reading the Bible recently. The way you both communicated about it and dove into what that means really is so eye opening and such a blessing! Thank you so much for that!!
Hi guys! First of all, thank you for doing that little talk at the end of your videos. I do agree with Carlos, I did struggle to read the Bible for the longest time. Recently I have been either listening by myself or listening as a Pastor explains it. I decided that I won’t read it just to read and complete the whole bible in 1 year. I am reading it at my own time, reading 1 chapter a day or even diving the chapter into 2 days if I feel like it has a lot of content in it.
It is amazing that you guys share your faith with us and are not afraid to have those questions that we all had or will have at some point in our walk with Christ.
10:42 when ocean says excuse me before asking a question is so cute!! 🤗
Your WOW was soo good! Thank you so much for being willing to be open with us and I too struggle with getting into the word consistently but there was so much truth to what you said. Thanks for the encouragement and allowing God to speak through you guys ❤️
My church at the beginning of the year was giving away chronological study bibles and I have been reading it. I started it about a month and a half ago and it has been so eye opening and helpful to get into gods word. It breaks it down into days so that you don’t get overwhelmed. I love the places that they stop sometimes cause it stops it right at a moment that your like what happened what comes next and it makes you excited to read the next day
I think a lot of believers struggle with reading the Bible. I know I do. The Bible app plans really help me learn what verses to turn to and the plans that go through each book help even more. Because they give you the context like a commentary which is so convenient for a busy momma like myself! I went to bible college but just don't have time to pull out commentaries like they recommended there! I think the pure want to know God and grow closer to Him, He'll speak volumes to you! Praying for you guys! You're always such an encouragement! 🥰
Cutest kids ever. Cutest family ever. Two of my favorite people. So precious.
OMG!!! Caris and Alexa I really like you guys, because to me you guys have one of the most beautiful families I have ever seen,you guys always send all of us very positive messages, so thank you for that, and I’m in love with your adorable babies,God Bless your Beautiful Family
Can I just say thank you to you guys for being a source of light and positivity. I’ve moved around a lot in the last 2 years, and not having a consistent community in Christ has been hard. I consider you guys part of my community in faith🙏🏽 blessings for you and your family!
I just recently started Bing watching your videos and I am a fan of both of y'all as actors and now as parents. As I started watching your TH-cam channel I noticed y'all always make time to talk about God and the awesome things he does and watching this video particularly about relationship with God, I've always thought that I struggled with the word of God with my Adhd and the way it was portrayed to me. I lost my faith in going to church and in God 8-10 years ago, but deep down I always felt like he was still there in my life. This wow moment has made me realize that there is more to life than just working all the time. I need to get my faith back not only in God but in myself to be the version of myself.
Yesss exactly that’s totally how I feel Carlos I struggle soo hard reading the Bible even just praying is hard I want a relationship with god but I just don’t know how I try every day to pray to god and Jesus Christ but I’m not sure that’s enough, recently me and my mom and siblings got in a car accident even though nobody got hurt and the incident was super minor it really scared me and a week before that my mom and sister got in a accident too! I don’t know what god is trying to tell me but I’m listening!
Keep going bro god is with you 🙏🏼
Just talk to the Lord and ask him to help you. Trust me, He will especially if you are desiring a deeper walk with him. He loves you more than you will ever know! Thank you Jesus.❤❤❤
Keep going I was like that at first the moment you get closer to God satan and his demons attack thats why they say to put on God's armor cause you'll literally have a war with satan while trying to get closer to God satan dont like it and will bring your life up and down i just kept going while my mind was saying otherwise everyday and night hour or minute i prayed read the bible and kept going no matter what keep going cause hes always with you! those negative thoughts and temptation is satan trying to draw yo away from him in the bible it says two people that can get in your head is satan and God but satan cant harm you knowing your protected by Our Lord Jesus Christ but he can make your life hard people think us brothers and sisters live a happy perfect life little do some people know we are literally fighting everyday Blessings to You! And your Family! Please don't give up! Especially during these time we are living in more and more closer in going HOME 🙏🏼👆🏼
It is so good that you really want a relationship with God! Prayer is a big part of that. There’s a lot of great Bible based information on jw.org that helped me :)
I do struggle to try to really encourage myself to want to read the word. And, I feel like it's normal especially being young believers. But, I feel like you guys kind of gave me an insight in finding excitement to read the bible and really just wanting to learn more about God and continue to build our relationship with him. I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSS!!!!!
When alexa was reading that scripture, it was making me happy. I love how you guys are so religious. I'm just like you Carlos with reading the Bible, I feel like its working. This ending segment was really uplifting.
I love you guys so much. I would love to hear your testimonies and how you came to know Christ
I feel the same way as Los regarding reading the Bible and it didn’t make sense until I heard you both have this conversation. I’ve been struggling with depression and I’ve come to realize that what I need is God in my life and I want to know him. I NEED to know him. Thank you both for sharing your thoughts!! Stay blessed!
You guys are such an example to me. I struggle sometimes with my studies and things as well and really getting into it. But watching you guys and seeing how you love God so much inspires me to work on my relationship with Him as well. I love you guys. Keep doing the work and being an example unto the believers.
Knives Out is so good!!! I'm glad the storm bypassed you guys!
It’s amazing how God works in mysterious ways. I grew up in church, and God’s worked so many miracles in my life. The biggest battle I have is also simply reading the word everyday, I feel that god speaks to me through music and people, and little things throughout my days. I need to get better about spending time with Him, and getting to know Him better. Thanks for the message guys 💜
So glad you all made it through the storm and are safe!
Yes, I can totally relate to Carlos’. I never wanted to read the Bible, I felt obligated to do so until I truly surrendered my life to the Lord. Since the beginning of 2020, I’ve been reading my Bible everyday and now I actually understand it like I never have before. God is so good!! 💗
im happy the videos are back and happy you guys were safe! its crazy how much ocean has grown.. it was like yesterday lex was pregnant!
OMG that sunset at 18:07 is so mega gorgeous. I loveee sunsets and that one is really beautiful.
Im glad that nothing major happen to you all and the rest of Maui. I live in Georgia so we got some strong wind/rain from hurricane Sally. But nothing bad, at least for my family
Just wanted to take a moment to share a blessing. I live in southeast Kansas. My father was a preacher my entire life. I'm 50 now. My father is going in to the last quarter of life on this earth. I'm sitting in a wound care center, having a new bed sore evaluated for treatment on him. I pray for God's direction and strength as we care for his physical body on this earth. Anyway Im In the waiting room watching the TV, not really paying attention, then all of a sudden carlos and Alexa's name appear on the screen advertising your new special. I immediately smile and start crying. Why? Because it reminded me that no matter how overwhelmed we get, or tired or discouraged, there are christians out there praying for all God's people and God gives us who and what we need in our lives. Sometimes we just have to pay attention and be reminded God is right there. Just call on Him. Thank you for always sharing and encouraging, across the world!! Yes even in KANSAS!! God is great and powerful!
Wow thank you for sharing this. Very encouraging to hear. :) praying for you dads strength and healing l!!!! Amen!!
Just started watching your videos and love them! Totally agree with how reading the Word can sometimes be challenging. Anything that I put law (works) on I instantly notice myself not reading or struggling with, but when I am flowing under God's grace knowing its not based off of my performance, but based off of my righteousness in Jesus I read the Word way more often and flow more! Just my perspective that has happened in my life. God bless you and your family! ❤
I love this 10 minute message at end and have missed your videos so much! I have definitely struggled/still am struggling to dive deeper into getting to know the Lord more! It’s good to hear I’m not alone! God bless!
man I miss you guys vlogs so much and your kids Ocean And Kingston look just like Carlos and they are getting so big and I hope you and your family stay safe from this Covid-19 mess this is no joke. Love You Guys Your Fan From Florence, South Carolina.
Thank you so much for this! It was long awaited. You both are a lovely family. Ocean and Kingston are so cute! 😍😍😍 God bless y'all. Thank you for sharing ur amazing life with ur fans. Plz stay safe and I hope the hurricane is not bad at all.
I love Carlos’ perspective on reading the Bible. I feel that way because it does sometimes feel like a chore. I’m trying to be better about it but listening to what you guys shared really gave me a different perspective. Thanks for sharing about your faith and you family! Love you guys!
I too have struggled getting into the word, and I have to say I was pumped when this was the topic you both touched on in this video! I literally was thinking about this exact subject right before I watched this video!! I yearn to know more and have a deeper relationship with God but have struggled with this. It’s Amazing how God will put things/people in you paths to help you to change your mind set. God Is Good!! I love watching your family Alexa and Carlos, you have such positivity and so grounded in your Faith!! It’ so awesome especially among all the negativity and the chaos in the world right now! Thank you for being an awesome example ❤️
Just when Alexa read the scriptures I got interested...like Ive been a big fan of her movies so I didnt think she would be into that much of religious stuffs(im so happy) and when she tells more about her own perspectives of God and life I am so moved and I learned more of the scriptures and and His love for everyone. ❤❤❤❤
Wow that purple sky is GORGEOUS! 💜😍
I LOVE the new end segment on your videos! It's SUPER motivating to want to get into God's Word when yeah it feels like work sometimes. Thanks for being encouraging and sharing your faith!
Hope anyone reading this is having a good day ❤️
just found your channel. i didn't know you guys were believers. SO COOL! I appreciated your words and new perspective. Faith has been hard in cover but God remains faithful!!
❤ at the end and the scripture and devotion and disscusion. I am like Carlos I find it work sometimes, or something I put on my list of things to do today. When I read the bible un like my husband who is so on fire and excited about reading and learning the bible and history of the bible. He is so smart and I learn alot from him, but I need to pray and ask God to help me have that same joy and excitement to read the word. Thank you both and can't wait to check out your Podcast!!
It's super awesome that you're looking at it from a different perspective and that you're so willing to do in in order to build that relationship! I think it's also a HUUUGE plus that have have Lex to help you along the way. Love you guys!!
KNIVES OUT IS SO GOOD! I love that movie. Glad you are all safe!
I swear to God, I never knew your channel existed. I first watched BTR when I was five years old in 2009 and now I'm 15. A decade ago my goodness! It's so great to see one of you guys again!! I pray that you and your family are safe during these tough times! ❤️❤️❤️
With what you were saying about not having fun to read and finding it hard and eventually changing your perspective.. for me, I have trouble too. Instead of thinking of it as work, I think of it as having a desire. In order for me to learn more and do more, I find the desire to want to read and then it stops feeling like work and starts feeling like I’m doing something more productive or worth spending time on.
I’ve just started watching this channel and i loooove it ❤️ Such a beautiful family unit.
I have and am struggling to get into the word SO much. I love Jesus and I see Him in every aspect of my life but it’s tough for me to sit and read. It feels like “work” most of the time and just like you, I need to change my perspective. I love to write poetry so maybe that can be the start of my inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your struggles Carlos. It gives me peace to know I am not the only one that feels the same way in the word. I pray that we both find inspiration and growth as we learn to glorify Jesus in our own unique ways.
Carlos, I can relate to you so much. I have the worst time trying to read the Bible. I never thought about it being like work to me. Maybe I need to put it in a different prospective like you did. Thank you to both of you for the great message! I’m glad y’all made it through the storm. ❤️
I used to try to wake up early to read my bible before work but I rarely had time because I’d hit snooze! Then I found the daily audio bible and now I listen to it on my thirty minute commute and never miss a day!! 🤗
I love your communication and these discussions! I love you all so much! God bless 🙏❤️
Love you guys and I was praying for your guys safety when this was happening
I'm praying for y'all protection stay safe God love you all
Oh my goodness! Ocean and Kingston are just the sweetest things ❤️❤️❤️
This is really cool because the stuff y'all talked about the Bible at the end, I seriously needed it. God is so good like that ya know? Recently I went to my friends and asked them to pray for me because I don't pray like I should and I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever to spend time getting to know God through the Bible. But then I realized I needed to pray. I can't just ask other people to pray and let God come to me, I need to go to Him. And I did. I prayed a few nights ago and immediately the next day I felt my prayers being answered. I felt on fire for God. I prayed to Him multiple times that day and it felt good. Now I still haven't done much bible study. I really struggle with that. But what y'all said, that your devotion to God shouldn't become of works but out of love. I really feel like God was speaking to me through you. Because after my prayers started being answered I was trying to make a way to fit reading the Bible into my schedule. Which sounds horrible I know cuz it kinda is horrible. I was trying to make time with God a thing I check off a checklist. So thank you for being such an inspiration and a light to the people that follow you.
Thank you for sharing! What a great testimony. ❤️
The wow was so spot on with what I’ve been doing the last week. I just came to a place where I’ve always had faith but I want to understand and learn and re-learn more about God. Something that helped me is grabbing a Mother’s Bible. Within it has challenges to accomplishing different goals you may have (mine is reading the Bible in a year) as well as daily devotionals witching scripture to tie in scripture to motherhood and things we may be struggling with as a mother. I’ve really enjoyed it so far and look forward to my first 15 each morning (although it turns into a first 30 because I am enjoying it so much). Maybe there is a Father’s Bible that offers a similar set-up!
At the end I honestly relate. My mom was telling me the exact same thing that Alexa was saying. I'm trying to read the Bible more too. Hope everything is well for all of you. God bless the family 😄❤️
I'm glad that y'all are back and were safe during Hurricane Douglass 🙏🏽
we love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!
i am a huge fan of btr and of you guys. you were one of the first people i followed when I joined in the summer of 2022
I’ve just watched big time rush to find out your both really with each other love it!!!!!!!!!
Hi Carlos. It’s Tia Wendy!!! Hope u guys are safe!!! Tia Alejandro sends his Love!!! OMG the boys look like Xavi & Andre even the tippy toeing walking... jejeje how cute!!!
you guys make my day more better and make me believe that there are good people in this world. Love you guys so much and I hope that your family and friends are doing well!
BLESS YOU. We need more GOOD music like yours out there! Love getting to see these bits of your life! Thanks for sharing!💕
Stay safe!!
*FINALLY you are back!!!!! 😊 I've missed you guys!* ❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m working on changing my perspective of reading the Bible. I’ve never been one to want to just sit down and read the Bible, but through this quarantine, I’m wanting to start doing that. I just don’t know where to start when I have the whole Bible in front of me! Btw, love seeing a couple talk about this openly on TH-cam! May God bless your family in ways you never thought possible! ❤️
The ending was wonderful. I’m praying that God will continue to grow you all individually as well as together in His word. I’ve struggled with the same thing at one point or another, but the Holy Spirit always gives me a new zeal to continue to read the word so I’m praying that will happen for you, Carlos! Continue to be salt and light❤️❤️❤️
True survivors, you guys are. And frankly, I've gotten to go a cruise before another hurricane in particular hit--pre-pandemic, anyway.
id would totally listen to Carlos' christian music!. I struggle so much with getting into the word, but the more I do it daily, the more I fall in love with it and become so interested in all the stories
Its so inspiring watching Alexa get animated about talking about her relationship with God and her passion for Him ❤️ But I can absolutely relate to you, Carlos. Having the discipline to sit and read the Bible is a difficult thing at times.
Love you guys and your family! ☺️
Aloha PenaVegas! Nice to see you guys. While I was watching your vlog, I was watching the re-run episodes of "Big Time Rush" on TV. Glad to hear you survived a hurricane! Been there. 🏝🌪🌧
Y’all are awesome !! Been watching you from the beginning ❣️ Definitely have a struggle on trying to be consistent in my bible reading. I do feel like sometimes I can get lost or sometimes I feel like I don’t know what I should be reading. Love y’all a lot and God bless you and your little family 🤍
The cutest family ❤️
Ugh. I love the wows. They feed my soul 💛💛💛
I relate so much to this. I find it so hard to read the bible on the daily. I prefer my worship and prayer but Alexa put it perfectly. Relationships take work, so building if I want a relationship with God, I need to put in the work. Thank you for this perspective. It really has helped and inspired me.
I know exactly what you mean Carlos. I have a hard time getting into the Wor of God. When I do read though, there is always something I find that is fitting to what I am going through or need to hear. And, as you are talking about wanting to write music for Him and wanting to read the Bible more so you can do that, I have felt the same desire because I am currently in the process of writing a book for God. I hope all goes well. I love y'all and God Bless
Loved the wow!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggles to read the Bible. Thank you so much for being... Real and honest.
