We all worship something. Whatever we give our time, money, & energy too might not be our "verbal" savior but it is our "functional" savior. The question isn't "do" we worship, but "who" do we worship. This poem is me sharing about my journey to find that only Jesus truly satisfies. Everything else over promises & under delivers.

[samanthasmiles]

"When was the last time the world promised satisfaction and ACTUALLY came through." That ending hit hard.

[hoodiesticks]

"If you can't give it up, you don't own it. It owns you." Words to live by. Especially during Lent.

[TimeLapse]

This is my favourite spoken word piece by Jeff! I always come back here occasionally to put myself in check. Sometimes in life, everything is fighting for my attention and fighting to be first. It's essential to remind myself exactly Who comes first :)

[etdon]

I watched this on shrooms when I was 16 and it absolutely terrified me. I sit here 9 years later and repent for everything I’ve done and put before god. Stay strong life gets better

[xmaTKDmma]

i love this guy he blows my mind how he not only rhymes but spreads his message about God in a way i haven't heard before. keep up the great work and thank you so much for sharing.

[m.speaks]

This turned my heart the minute he said our counterfeit gods never took nails in their hands and feet and died for us.

[CarrieArt]

"Cosmo is your Bible, " lol that was a good verse. You are a very talented, thank you for using your gift for Jesus.

[mindomaximusk]

I went from non believer to believing in doing right not wrong, but after seeing your videos my mind and heart is open. thank you for reaching me. the comments left by many others are disgusting. even if you don't believe, theres no need to be so hateful and cruel.

[ajkuek]

Thank you! Just thank you 🎉and all Glory to God. I honour your gift. The Holy Spirit used your video to convict me of my sin and bring me to repentance. Jesus saved me almost 8 years ago now after watching this video. The road has not been easy at all but God has been so faithful. Totally worth it! Just finished Bible college, did a Missions Trip last year and about to enter ministry myself. So thank you for your obedience and sacrifice! I know it’s not easy. You have made impact for the kingdom of God and I am so sure that I am one of many that Jesus has touched and will continue to touch through your life and obedience. Be greatly encouraged!
All Glory to God 🎉🎉🎉

[mariamumoki]

I always listen to this when I need to hit myself with some truth. It helps me get back into reality.

[tazzyanderson]

I've lost count on how many times I've listened to this, but I never loses its power! 🔥

[jenniferlocher]

What gives me worth is my Savior Jesus Christ.  I couldn't have lived the life I lived without Him.  He is real, and He loves me and you!  WOW! Brother continue making these videos, because God is definitely using you for the purpose of reaching others for HIM.  BTW...I checked out your wife's blog; What an awesome lady!  Cherish her! Thank you for all you are doing for our LORD.

[bundleoflovesami]

My go-to poem when this world gets to be too much for me!  It humbles me and reminds me that nothing is more important than Him.  Don't let things, people, or situations dictate your feelings of love and happiness - God is in total control every moment of every day.  He's so in love with you, remind yourself of that and allow yourself to feel that love.

[isaacsilva]

crazy how people have negative comments as if they feel attacked.

[BehaviorModification]

It's so true; everyone worships. Whether we believe in God or not, we are wired to worship something. We cannot help but bow at the feet of whatever we think will bring us happiness.

[TheMisfitprincess]

Watching this video made me change my WHOLE ASPECT in which to beleive that everything in this world could not be created without our Holy Father. You are right no man can love us women better than him hisself. He gave us life so that we can be free but we all used our lives as a selfish exscuse to take advantage of everything he did. Thank You you have changed my thought of mind about it

[airyanac]

So blessed to hear you. I praise God knowing there legit christian who can help fight through. I may not know you but your words are enough. Thank you for being obedient . I love you brother. And God has alot in store for you!

[chentevergara]

Thank you brother Jeff. I've been struggling with my marijana addiction for a long time know. I never thought of it as choosing the creation over the Creator. Thanks again man:')

[kymbeecamping]

Jeff Thx for saving my Faith! I felt like giving up on the whole theology of religion although I found out its Faith that God wants... Your question was what are u chasing that makes u feel lonely, I thought about it and it's workship of a Human being rather than God the father... God bless u Jeff u are saving lives... IJN

[christinacampbell]

What’s on your throne? See what do you chase so that you don’t feel alone? See what defines you? What do you give ultimate worth? & What if taken would bring ultimate hurt? Now see that is your God”
Good questions to ask going into the new year
