Thank you for sharing this song and the message behind it. I just want to let you know that this song impacted me in a way to talk to a friend about Jesus. I felt like God wanted me to do it, and in a way this song was like a confirmation to do it. It also encouraged me to do it. I was going to do it then I chickened out. But the next chance I could, I did it. I told them about Jesus. That was exactly a month ago. So, I wanted to thank you guys for making this song and letting the Lord use you guys. These kinds of songs actually do help and encourage people. Thanks again and God bless.

With His help, I’ve shared the gospel with those I know. Last weekend He gave me the courage to ask a stranger if I could share Jesus with them next time I see them. Awkward to the max. Pretty sure I’ll see this person today or tomorrow so here goes. I’ve been a massively shy, introvert all my life, but I know His Holy Spirit will help me with the words. 🙏🏽

I have listened to Mark's teaching video's several times. Being he's a Pastor he has a way of bringing scripture, with his songs down for you to understand. He's also is a youth pastor. Take the time to listen to them and I know God will Bless you. Thank you Mark and God bless you, you have been such a help and blessing to me. I have to thank God for you and your music.

Lord, please give me the strength to show my secular family how much Jesus loves them so they can believe in him. I'm born again and this is one of my life's many challenges.

[nelliel]

I started crying by this, , because the Lord has put on my heart to share about Jesus and the gospel with my friends and family but I feel I cant do it good enough. I felt so much in common with Marks story.

Goosebumps! That's the Holy Spirit right there! Keep sharing your testimony with everyone. 😊

[tonycole]

It is better to loose a friend than to loose God. Good one Sir, that was a brave move of sharing the gospel with your close friend even when you knew it could go negative. You still insist. Praise God and our Lord Jesus for giving you courage.

[deanmbakyuu]

so touching.. it is the true love on a friendship.. 😢

[linetmarube]

How true is this 🙌
Let's reach the broken

[LizzieHenry]

This video really touched my heart.Thank you for sharing.Just like you Mark I'm quiet, and still trying to find my voice in the lord.I know in God's perfect timing he will use me to glorify and honor his name.

This teaching means so much. Thanks Bro. MARK. IM learning
God doesn't let go. His love for his kids is strong steadfast and everlasting. His love is relentless and so extravagant. This is what your music is teaching me.

[txnetcop]

You never know when someone you witness to will turn that corner one day and let you know that God used you...

[nitrowrench]

I love your heart, Mark. You speak, write and sing from it. You do these videos like speaking to a person and not a camera. I have a close friend that it has been on my heart for years to testify to, he was riding behind me and saw me go through a horrible motorcycle accident, the moment that cemented my faith 100% that God is real and his mercy is boundless. BUT, I never came right out and told him about God and that I loved him, and so does Jesus, and that I wanted him to know this joy for life and thirst to know Him more. It has been on my mind and on my heart, thank you for this testimony, brother. Your music is so much more than that, it is a channel for God to use you to reach and help others. My wife and I have seen Crowns twice, we never miss a show now when you come to Grand Rapids. Much love to your family and the rest of the band, you stay humble with your success and God has blessed you for it.

This was meant for me, i now understand my next step that Jesus wants me to take, thanx

[repairmanjack]

I needed that.
Good bless you.

Thank you so much Mark Hall for this video.
Hey y’all I need some prayers here me out:
I’ve graduated from pre-university this year and that means that I’m probably going to lose some of the friends that I’m less close with... I hope to have shown/told them enough about Jesus and that maybe later they’ll come closer to God but I’ll probably not know for sure till I die. I hope to keep some of my friends and also to make new ones at university and maybe even in church. None of my friends is christian, and I really miss that. However, I want to trust God’s plan with my life and I’m very grateful for the people He gave me access to. I want to share the gospel with my friends because I know they need Him just as much as I do. I don’t want my fears of losing them refrain me from bringing them closer to Jesus!
I also know from past conversations I’ve had with some of them about faith, God and the afterlife that “sharing the gospel” doesn’t always have a direct visible effect... Your conversation with this Garner is actually a perfect example of this. More stories like this one exist all over the world and they all show in what amazing ways God reaches out to His creations through His children!
Help me, I often tend to believe the lie that I am only of worth to God when I actively share the gospel with people... I know there are no prerequisites for earning His love and mercy, but I still keep thinking there are... :(
Thank you if you’ll be praying with/for me and if you have anything to pray for that you’d like to share with me please feel free to respond to this message so we can pray with/for each other!

I'm here 5 days after I told my mom that I'm a believer. I told her 'I love you' and some amazing things which God did for us. And yes, It was worth it. Thank you Lord ♥

[briandoue]

Be blest Mark as you are a blessing...so very important to remember that God can use our fumbling...but He can't use our silence...we don't do the saving the Holy Spirit does...we are the instruments... pray for the awkward moments so we can be used to share Jesus...

[EphemeralProductions]

So true dear brother!!! This speaks so much to me, because last week a friend of mine died. I never shared the Gospel with him, out of fear that his anti-God daughter would freak out and shove me away from him for "poisoning" him. He was raised in church and eventually was baptized into the Mormon church. I don't know if I'll see him again, and that uncertainty really gets to me, because I let my fear of his and his daughters reactions hold me away from doing what I should have done. Rough lesson that reminded me, this is not a game. We have to be SERIOUS about sharing the Gospel. We were commissioned to anyway
