I have been an athiest for a long while but then my newborn was born really ill and for the first time every day I prayed so hard and called upon God and any saint who would listen for help. I begged with every cell of my body for help and last week she received the final all clear. She has also had not one delay or growth issue, shes ahead in everything.
A couple of months after she was born I was meditating and was in that state of half awake/half asleep and I saw a bright white light and a man standing in it. He called to me and told me was Jesus and that it was my time to join them and find that part of me. When I woke up I felt so incredible and light, im literally crying right now remembering it.
I feel like God has done a lot for me this last year and now its time for me to embrace him fully without being afraid of judgement. ❤

I have watched this video 3 years ago, when i was a lukewarm Christian. Now I watched it again as I finally have experienced baptism in Holy Spirit, and the video speaks different to me

I’m only 16 years old. Last year I was diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer, I had let it remain undiagnosed for too long, and while I was in the hospital bed the doctors told my parents that it was terminal, and that I may not have long left. They thought that I was sleeping, but I heard everything. I have never been religious, but I knew then what I had to do. I prayed to Lord Jesus Christ every day and every night for 2 months, repenting for the Sin that Satan had forced unto me and asking The Saviour to help me, at any cost. Then it happened. On one glorious day on one of the routine scans, the doctors were in disbelief as the merciful God had cured me, we all rejoiced at the miracle which had saved me! I still pray every night to the Lord above and thank him for his great kindness. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise Jesus!

This is such a huge blessing. As someone who is looking for ways to build up my relationship with God these kind of free content is a huge help. I am so blessed to find this channel and I super love the podcasts. I’m now getting more curious of the Bible. May God bless us all ❤

Tim and John, I have been researching on Google for past 10 years, for the topic you make so simple in your videos. Your videos are clear, crisp, easy to comprehend and packed with essential information. I feel you guys have real anointing from Jesus. Blessed be you, your families and the entire team which is involved in this endeavor. Your authenticity fills my heart with love and utter respect for your work. The videos are not childish at all and are appropriate for every age group. I want to support your work. I can take it forward in the UK and India, if god-willing we connect. Sending love to you packed with prayers. May god bless you and you continue your holy work in the light of Jesus. Amen!

Whether you believe in the Bible or not, you cannot deny that it is the only ancient text that has the most documentary support. More than any other ancient book.

[davidpshaw]

"One of the most influential books ever written." lol. Its THE most important book EVER.

[gwenmadeline]

Thank you gentlemen for your effort. I am 68 and I have some cognitive problems which makes reading difficult for me. It has also resulted in a memory loss which has affected my knowledge of the Bible. I can listen to your presentations and hope to regain some. I feel so blessed to have been pointed to you. Today I downloaded the APP and my journey begins.

[cordeea]

Reading the Bible gives me so much life unlike anything else.

[ralphyfabri]

You guys are the best thing that has happened to YouTube .

[MsGechi]

I love your channel. Growing up Catholic, we didn't read the Bible in it's entirety. I appreciate this content, as I read through the Bible for the first time in 45 years. 💜

[drmumu]

This book is God breathed and the only way to eternal life with Heavenly father.

[ThribbEj]

WOW! I am a 64 year old, came to Jesus a year or so ago, baptised January 2016 and these videos, posters and narratives are amazing! God Bless you all. Giving me a true understanding, but you MUST read the word in your Bible, using this information as a supplement. It's the only way that God will talk back when you chat with Jesus.

Hello my name is Noel, I’m from Redlands CA. I just want you to know! You two are out here changing lives. Your study’s and explanations have helped clarify my understanding. And I’m passing it forward to my coworkers. You two have not only made me cry. But made other cry as well. We all love your videos! And use your videos as an introduction to the different books before going more into depth. I personally am forever grateful for your essence.
