As a step father, I held Joseph to be the example of loving and raising children as one’s own. Even though I couldn’t measure up to Joseph, he’s always been my hero.
He couldn’t have been insignificant because The Creator TRUSTED him above all men to raise and train Yeshua to be a man. Thank you so much.

[riverraymond]

Joseph is and has always been a very special figure in my life. Both my brother and I were adopted at birth and knew how profound and unique the unconditional love is from an adoptive father. Not a man who simply loves you from a biological stand point, but a man who chose to love you regardless and made you his beyond genetics and biology and all that. I always loved the idea of Joseph because I know first hand how special an adoptive father is. Mine was also a carpenter growing up (as well as a farmer) and taught his children more through hard work than anyone else could. My father is someone I look up to for multiple reasons and I imagine Jesus looked up to Joseph in a similar way.

I highly suggest listening to the song “Joseph’s Lullaby” by MercyMe if anyone wants to hear a beautiful perspective on what Joseph might’ve thought in regards to Jesus as his son. It’s a tear jerker for sure.

Thank you for affirming his importance in Jesus's life. He is very significant not only in Jesus's life, but in ours as well. He's a wonderful example of unconditional love.

[uwsgrrrl]

I was raised Catholic & I never thought Joseph was insignificant. Joseph married Mary & raised Jesus as his own. To me, he was a very special man.

Years ago I went to a nativity show at a church. All sorts of nativities around the room (close to 100). One of the best things I saw was a picture of Joseph holding the baby Jesus while Mary slept. Showing that he was not only a father, but a daddy. The look on his face while holding the baby was of a loving man who was proud.

[jameschapman]

I once sat in a sermon where a pastor said blatantly that the role of mothers are so much more important than that of the father, and he used the minimal mention of Joseph as the earthly father of Jesus, as his "reference". I am stunned how people can use scripture to "emphasise" their ideas, which are based on their own ignorance. Brandon, this was an answer to a question I've been asking a long time, because I refuse to believe that God's design for the family, being a father, mother and children, is a mistake. Everybody has a role to play.

[iriszamora]

If Mary was the woman chosen among all women, Joseph was the man chosen among men.

[EJ-gxhl]

I’ve never heard a Protestant show so much love, respect, and admiration for Joseph.

[davidmartinez-ipfq]

As a father and step father I love my children very much and now I know and understand that God sent those children my way for me to look after and take care of.
Blessed by God and his son Jesus✝️🙏🏽

[reneishawilliams]

I LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING!!!! THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! GLORY BE TO GOD!!!!

[simontemplar]

The man who reflected the teachings of the Son he had yet to meet...
Wow. God be praised.

[michaelhayden]

A man of such strength of character! One who needs more recognition and honour.

[SP-ctrj]

You have such a pleasant voice and none of what you have said can be argued with. Children don’t get to choose their parents, but Jesus did. He chose Joseph and Mary to be his parents and the recipients of his honour. That’s something that could make any of us proud and arrogant, but instead they lived with Jesus in silence and humility waiting for the time which Jesus chooses. They are truly worthy of the title of the Holy Family.
Thank you for your videos!

[angelcarreras]

Thank you Brandon for your wonderful programme. I am now 75 years of age and all my life I have been struggling with questions which you are now providing me with answers. I have been in different ministries in the church, including being a reader, a server and a minister for communion amongst other things, but these things were never explained to me ever and I was beginning to loose my faith in my old age. You have given me my faith back. May God Bless you and give you health to keep on doing what you are doing.

[luisreyrivera]

I’m playing Joseph in a short film production for Christmas and this is an amazing reference thank you so much!

[supereverything]

What an amazing man he must of been! God, the Father, trusted him with His begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for talking about Joseph!

[alexisagginie]

I have great admiration for Joseph. Joseph was, in my mind, so blessed. He was such a good man.

[sevenirises]

We really don't hear much about Joseph. Very much enjoyed your video on him. What a beautiful heart and tremendous amount of faith he had.

[sheliaspringer]

Thank you for giving a glimpse into the mind and surroundings of Joseph. I have thought many times to myself what a good man that Joseph must have been for GOD to choose him to guide JESUS and be his earthly Father. I am certain they loved each other very much. But, Joseph had the weight of the world on his back, knowing that he was protecting, guiding, and teaching GOD'S only son. I really enjoy your talks! I am 63 and I really need your prayers this coming week. My son die May 25th. I am in bad health, but my heart is what is aching; what is breaking. My son was 43, and a freak bloodclot hit his heart. His birthday is November 19th. Since his death JESUS, my LORD has carried me every step that I have taken. And I am sure that he will on my baby's birthday, but I know that I will be a mess. I loved him so very much. Please pray for myself and my family this upcoming weekend. I know that it will be extremely difficult. GOD BLESS JESUS FOR LOVING ME AND CARRYING ME SINCE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH. And may GOD also BLESS you!!!

[pynshaiborpyngrope]

Amen🙏🙏🙏
Joseph was a choosen man.

Brother Brandon you too you are a chosen one. I have nothing to give you but My prayers be with you.🙏🙏🙏

Love you Jesus, Brandon
