I am in Montreal, Canada. I work nights at a rehab center for woman and children. I watch and listen to you every night. I even bought your 'Do the new you book'. Thank you for inspiring me and helping me build my roots with God. I had a spiritual awakening 2 years ago and I have since been able to overcome my addiction to drugs and alcohol and even my eating disorder! I AM nothing short of a miracle! I now want to help other people get freedom from addiction through my experience, strength and hope! Thank-you for teaching me about the Bible and my Creator!

I'm just north of Philadelphia pennsylvania. And I've been listening to your sermons recently as my girlfriend introduced me to your videos. I probably listen to at least two sermons a day now while I'm at work. I definitely gain a lot from it and it helps keep me connected daily and an even deeper way to jesus. So thank you.

Pastor I'm learning how to use my phone better I'm 68 years old and I'm not computer literate but that's going to change I'm going to take some adult classes out here to tech school. I've been praying for your tour and your family and every night at 7:00 when my alarm goes off I take a knee and pray it doesn't matter where I'm at who I'm with or what I'm doing. Thank you so much for your service to our Lord and to us. Peace love and blessings Debbie 🪶

I chanced upon pastor Steven furtick one week ago when I was in my deepest, darkest valley of divorce. His sermons have given me so much hope and I am reminded of the fact that in God’s world, nothing is final, and there is always a future to look forward to. I will pray for my marriage restoration with every coming day and I look forward to seeing God’s plans play out in my life. Thank you for the wonderful sermon ✨🙏🏻
