"Church" - Tom MacDonald & Brandon Hart ft. Nova Rockafeller 

Awesome story.

Congratulations! I've been sober since 2004 after dying a couple of times and getting brought back.

Amen!!! Stay Sober is our only option!!

Much respect. Im thankful for everyone who has the strength to ask for help in any way you can

God is great!

This comment. Yes.

HALLELUJAH!!!

Except for the church part...

🙏 amen

Ye, been struggling staying off porn for while now and every time I see something inappropriate on a TV show or game I have to turn off the show/game.

He can and will

Get on mate, that’s strong as 🤙💪💪💪💪

Proud of you man. Hopefully your on 20 months now. Stopped cold Turkey back in August myself after listening to this song and breaking down. 16 years of heavy drinking daily. Whiskey and beer. It's tough but I come back to this song every month or so to remind myself just how low I was. Never again.

Proud of you conquerer

My exact same story. God Bless

In 5 minutes you'll likely RUN to Jesus. Click my name and in 5 minutes you'll feel Super.

Thank you for sharing that story 🙏

@DH, GOD IS GOOD.HE GAVE HIM STRENGTH HE DIDNT THINK OR KNOW HE HAD, I KNOW I WAS SAME AND MY FATHER,GRANDFATHER AND ON,GENERATIONAL CURSES HAVE TO BE BROKEN BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB OR IT WILL REAR ITS UGLY HEAD SOMEWHERE ELESE DOWN THE LINE

god didn't do that for him. Your own father did it for himself.

Exactly!

amen

Exactly. The Bible never says life will be easy. There is a cross to carry.

one of my best friends is going through this right now

So true. Thanks for sharing your testimony. There’s an old book - Pilgrim’s Progress. After being saved , things get even worse, all the crap in the world. The devil and demons. Fight through it with faith. One day at a time. ❤️🙏❤️

Every time buddy, every single fucking time...

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Amen

OMG!!! I LOve You!! @CHRONILCES 16:8-9!!!! THank You, and Him!

Facts

Genesis 38:9-10 (KJV) And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

Im happy 😁😁😁

Church does many, much good. But when you crack that Bible I’m afraid most walk away with far more questions than answers. And for those that don’t question, that’s not called “faith”. It will fill ignorance of the facts.

Amen!

He always hears you.

Amen neighbour.

this guy has no limits

The battle is 100% real but God should always come first... Always pray first and then go to work... Because with god: everything is possible!!! 🙏🙏🙏

listening is key, yet theres a bigger thing actually hearing and doing what the lord asks,.....just listening clearly is not enough, its through hearing and obeying. i do get what your saying though. for some it has to come down to being this specific, dont just listen, hear absorb accept and get into action of obeying what is necessary and not falling into the hype in the process.

Same ❤… this one hits home.

Amen sister. The climb out of the dark hole feels impossible and we wonder why God is doing what he’s doing but then one day there’s LIGHT and the dark gets smaller and smaller day by day and all we can do is thank God for the light and for the trial we had to endure to appreciate the light and grow. Grow in our faith and grow in our own understanding of Christ and his goodness. It’s not all for naught. It’s all for his glory. We just have to make it through the battle.

So true, the proof is how this song has helped so many people

Praying for you fellow brother/sister. God is using you for his purpose.

You've got this! You may stumble because we are human but it's praying and getting back up that is important! Keep your eyes on God and he will uplift you and ease your burden.

Keep strong ❤

"I pray on my way to the liquor store that they lock the door..." You are one lucky SOB. Most of us have tried that and done it over and over and never had that happen. I'm saved, I've met Jesus, and I've spent a lot of time at bible study but that never worked for me like it did for you. Satan isn't done with me yet. Don't just assume that what worked for you will work for everyone because it often doesn't. We both have the same faith, the same God, the same prayers, the same church, and yet I'm still here barely surviving. Count your blessings and don't take it for granted. And never assume it will work for everyone the way it did for you.

🙏🏼💕

Praying for u. I truly hope AA helps. Dont know u but Im proud of u. Working on cutting my addiction too before I lose everything including myself.

Prayers . Hang in there

@@meredithgrubb7027 prayers hang in there

Now get a kjb. And spend your life reading it cover to cover.

He use to sing about drugs and liquor, in quite a few of his older songs but you couldn't tell if you have only listened to his newer stuff.

I hope everything goes well for you, Sr 😊

Amen brother.

Amen brother and praying for your continued strength!

Definitely hits home. I'm a recovering addict, and a Christ follower, and I'll definitely be praying Jesus answers their prayers. Because He is so worth it. But it's a struggle everyday, and it always will be. Great song. I love it.

@@southernmama7606 same!! 👌

Tom, this past 2 years crazy . My daughter had twin baby. Boys. 3/2019 Baby James, was found to have liver disease. Through 19' and into 20' he held on . I struggled not to fall back into... I had to fall forward to God to stay Sane. Baby James the brave , graduated to heaven . I'm still torn... as a grandfather, I cry . His twin brother Hendrix the haze .. is 2 now . He loves music and is awesome. Your music and videos inspire me as a 59 year old. Blessings to you both , Nova and yourself. Thanks . Grandpa...p.s. 2 songs were written for Baby James, one is being printed on his grave marker. Peace !

These types of entertainers are gifted and have a story to tell through music. Our stories friend. Stay sober stay grounded in Jesus he is the only way to our happy ending. Sending love your way your not alone :)

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. The first sign - the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“ The Book of Truth mdmlastprophet.com/they-will-say-that-i-was-married-they-will-say-that-i-was-simply-a-prophet/ mdmlastprophet.com/arab-uprising-will-spark-global-unrest-italy-will-trigger-fall-out/ mdmlastprophet.com/the-schism-in-my-church-will-be-broken-into-different-stages/

You're not alone, I'm 84 days sober and never looking back. We got this.

I love drugs.

Keep it up 3 years here there is a light at the end!

Church hits home for those of us who've been through the battles with addiction and continue to fight.

Stay strong! Tom's music is so inspirational.

Every day.

Hang in there I promise you it gets better, then it gets amazing. 😊

I feel you man but it's slowly getting better.

Been there as well with pills, booze u name it.. it doesn't get worse. its always been bad we just aren't numb to it anymore! This too shall pass..

It always gets worse before it gets better. Healing from a broken bone doesn't happen over night, it takes many painful nights and so does emotional healing. Keep digging into your bible and never forget that people at church are sinners and human too. Try not to judge God's love on a humans actions. I am praying for your healing, mind, body, and soul.

💯 On point Well said

Holy shit that was as inspirational as the song. Lol right on sister. Amen 2 that.

Feelz!!! MJR Feelzzzz!!

Such a beautiful piece of writing. Lady Butters you are one beautiful spirited soul.

gonna friken cry

Praying for you. I'm the husband trying to fix the damage I've done.

@@cranedaddy678 I feel that... I'm the girlfriend trying to undo the damage I have done.... This fella has never gave up on me...... I'm 4 months sober, It takes time. But it is possible. I am praying for you all!! I believe in you.

My husband drinks every night. He doesn't think he has a problem. I pray God will change his heart and show him his demands. Thank you Tom for being real.

Nailed it Came out of poverty, has a following, and it’s growing! I just pray he continues down this path

I truly believe this.

Big facts bro

Love it. Makes me cry though.

Great words buddy

With great influence he is seeking him you can tell through his lyrics and how he has evolved from the old Tom to the new Tom. Can't wait to see what he has in hold for the future

@@DgurlSunshine God created nature so nature is a good place to go.

Amen!

Trying to hear imaginary friends when you’re not delusional or schizophrenic is not easy. Any tips? What about a tin foil hat, do you think I could try to channel the Sky Wizard’s brainwaves?

someones son~~ hes 42 been drinking since he was 18, and no matter what i say he wont stop. Im a cripple thanks to his alcoholic dad. Prayers excepted as mine dont seem to be getting thru. His name is david, our Abba says where 2 or more are gathered in prayer He will hear. Can not count how many times ive found him lying in a fetal position i pray i never find him cold stone dead.

I lost my daughter to a 4wheeler accident & she was a meth addict. You’re right…the family is the addicts army. I gave my daughter full acceptance. She was still in the stage of the drug seemingly helping her cope with things. I feel God took her to save her & it hurts like hell. I’m praying for your daughter & you momma. I don’t want you to go through this. 🙏🏻❤️ I have a couple of videos on my channel about Allison.

@@elianazzI am praying for your son too!! I pray for recovery & that you never find him that way. 🙏🏻❤️

@@GodsSon-wu9zo what?

Amen! Agree 100%

We’ve all been there, but we can’t forget that God’s glory is shown in our weakness. Philippians is a good letter for that where Paul is literally saying he can endure any suffering because of the Lord. We all need to remember that if we pray, according to Gods will, he will listen. Sometimes he had a bigger plan then what we have in mind though.

Amen.

I could not have expressed my thoughts and feelings about this any better then your comment just did!!!

I second this notion.

Literally. And probably more than just one

And more than just thier life.

Amen

No doubt! And definitely way more than one!

That made me unsubscribe to Eminem

the more you walk in the light, the easier it becomes. It is worth it.

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

It really did get worse when I got clean. 😢

@@mattgolding3953 Good for you! That’s incredible! Stay Strong & God Bless 🙏🏽 ❤

Almost a year off alcohal and lsd

"A no from God is sometimes just a simple not yet."

Yes. I have faith and I know that God will have my back. Most of the time I am free and unscathed by the turmoil of family life. I do encounter situations where I am unable to control the anger

Amen! Just got through one of the worst years of my life. The Lord guided me.

@@candaceorr7517 me too👍 really. Glad I bumped into someone else that keeps treading in the dark. I hope things get better. Really and truly

Another beautiful brother said it God bless you man I love Jesus too 🙌🙌🙌

Indeed! Archangel Michael will give you strength while Gabriel will bring your messages to God.

Well said .. people need to start finding the church

The lease of life has been renewed. Time to do something great!

Amen 🙏 Rapture May 13/14 day of ascension! So much prophecy pointing literally to the very day! Same day Jesus ascended to heaven, and same day isreal became a nation again in 1948. The fig tree generation. I shall say no more.. Just begin studying prophecy COVID is the anti christ agenda. And the virus is sin! Corona means crown in Latin, Jesus warns us to not let anyone to take away our crown!

🙏🙌🙌✝️👑

100%. I was on and off opioids for almost 10 years. Horrible withdrawal everytime I stopped, never returned fully to normal so I continued using modestly. I ended up sacrificing it for God and this time I had zero withdrawal and the past lingering effects like depression and intensified pain levels went away like I'd never used opioids. God fully healed that because I gave it up for him alone. I'd already given up on myself in that regard so it was only for him. There are other things I'm still plagued with because I'm refusing to do the right thing. It's hard man, I want to do the right thing but I'm still stuck on a couple things and I know pretending to be perfect won't work because I don't mean it like I did with the opioids. Like you said, God helps those who help themselves. If something's not working out we can always take a look in the mirror and see the problem is us, not God. Imagine if God healed my opioid addiction before? I would have taken it for granted. It was only once I was out of hope, wanted nothing more than for that situation to be gone, laid my faith on God alone and made the sacrifice for him that I got better. I sometimes think about using opioids out of boredom, but I wouldn't dare because of what I've been through and the gratitude of what God has done. That gratitude wouldn't be the same if it came too early and I'd definitely go back. We aren't saved on our good works, we are saved by faith and God's grace. People expect to feel perfect because they quit drugs for a year. That's selfish, they did it for themselves, not out of faith and for God.

I agree!

Amen that's right. But God is merciful with everyone too

Dad does his part if you do yours. It's like a paycheck, you earn what you reap.

1:12

Congrats! Almost 17 years for me and i honestly dont think the cravings go away. Especially when stressed, depressed and anxious. But with god comes willpower. The willpower to walk past all of the bottles in the store and not buy any. Stay strong! You've got this!

Proud of you fellow HOG family! Been there. Sometimes it's one minute at a time. 💪🤘🌼

Praying for you brother.

Facts

Nobody hears bikers, carnies or addicts. NOBODY

@@kearl3490 that not true

I was thinking the same thing. When our perception is "God doesn't hear us" whatever the reason we believe to be -- it is 'doubt' that often goes unnoticed (which is on our end, not God's). "Without Faith it is impossible to please God"

God is with you don’t give up

We all are battling. Stay positive. Organize, proactive. Don't stop peddling or your bike will fall over. Don't stop now. Keep believing. Remove negative toxic people.

Believing is the key. Took me 80 years. But I finally let Jesus take the wheel. It's not all the time at once. It's His tie. Walk with Him in the garden. .

Do not break. Do not give up. I'm just some random internet guy, but I KNOW you can win. We all can. HOG

@@bogeybichon7000 Amen! ps what is HOG?

God bless Joseph . Do it .

My husband is your age and is an alcoholic. He quit drinking on Dec 23 2020. 2 weeks of DTs, I stayed with him every moment (Alcohol Detox Center would be safest) but we did it at home. It will be a battle I will continue to help him fight! He’s doing incredible right now!

I am afraid, last time I tried, I had a heart attack, kinda reassured me to keep drinking.

@@josephpotter9142 go talk to a doctor. There's medicine you can take. If it's really bad, you should check into a detox center. Do it for yourself and your family. They love you and want you well. Good luck.

@@josephpotter9142 I second @LifeBeginswithAseed, talk to a doctor, look at detox services.

@@bradleyroberts6050 thank you Fam. This is my real family. The support has been the best part of it.

Congratulations. The hard part was making the decision to Really stop. Don't look back. It gets better. Life gets better.

@@kingoftheswing38 Been there, still doing that. Don't think "I ain't never gonna drink again" think "Not right now, maybe in an hour, tomorrow, next week, whatev."

I will be praying for you....remember we are here praying for you,you are not alone

I caught that line to, great writing.

I caught that too. Straight 🔥.

Yeah! Great line. 🧨

You're not alone I struggle the same way

Hang in there. You have family all over the world. I’ll pray for you. Keep talking to the Lord and read the word. It will change everything. Standing with you. ❤️

Just remember, there is no but in Christian. We are always Christians, we just might stray and then find our path again. Much ❤️

Just keep in mind that everything thrown your way isn't anything you can't handle. The come up is better than the drop off, just keep grinding and it will pay off!

Can't wait

Yes Pleeeeeeeeze!

#HOG family

Congratulations on choosing your marriage. It sounds like you have a great relationship.

I feel the same -My wife of 37 years this June gave me 2 choices quit drugs and alcohol or get out -I prayed a sincere prayer to God on 8-25-01 and felt something go through my feet out through my head as my hair stood on end I felt It I know it’s real -Philippians 4:13 states I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me-This August I celebrate 20 years without booze or hard drugs -Thanks for sharing this it’s priceless

31 years old here, its definitely a process and we definitely don't realize until we start getting older even when we think we're on the right track, even when we have been on the right track, it gets more clear the more you understand and sadly the more you understand the worse you feel about the world.

Check out Isaiah saldivar brother

Living a Christian life can be hard at times especially when u start growing a relationship with God That’s when the devil will try and attack and fill u with doubt and drag u back into worldly stuff bc he knows everyone’s weaknesses but once u get past that it gets easier through faith and prayer you just got to trust in the lord

Prime example is Upchurch. That man has gone through so much shit.

I can tell you that I’ve always been exposed to Christianity through my grandparents. However it wasn’t until some real personal stuff went on in my family and my wife got to her lowest point that we went to church. It took some searching at a couple different churches to find the right one. When you do find it, you will feel like that pastor is speaking directly to you. Like his sermons are meant for you. Don’t give up after going to 1 church because some speak to others differently. Find the one for you.

I agree with everything you said from the first line to the last🙏🏼

@@samanthaoberdier5462 I always considered myself a Christian because I was raised that way but it wasn’t until I went through some of the toughest times of my life after doing things “my way” that I really began to understand the role that faith plays. It doesn’t mean life magically becomes easy. The opposite actually. Once I made the conscious decision to really turn my life over, things got worse. So much worse. But I held tight. I prayed and I BELIEVED. I learned to give up my problems and I watch the situations I thought were destroying me turn out in my favor. I’m not rich, I struggle with addiction myself (cigarettes), I have one daughter who is not a believer. It wasn’t me who got us out of those situations like she thinks. I couldn’t do it. It was me just turning it over to God and watching the pieces move in amazement. I have peace because I know no matter what happens next, and trust me, it’s always something, it’s already handled. The pieces have been moving in Tom’s life to lead him where he is now. God has been listening, but we all still struggle with the demons. There is no escaping that, only the peace to know they won’t win. I believe our hope lies in the knowledge of that!

Well said

Thank you

Chills!!!!! Great message!!!

That's great man.

That's amazing! So happy for you 🥰 My husband just hit 20 years this month! He sponsors and speaks publicly a lot, so I see the devastated lives, and it's heartbreaking 💔 sobriety is the only way out! God bless you JT 🙏❤

Thanks for fighting it, man! You're better without it, for both yourself and those around you. Booze isn't my kryptonite, but I got my own, so I get your struggle. Keep up the fight! It matters more than you think.

@WhatsHappening783402 Some pills "recreationally"? You must be young. I thought the same thing. Been paying about $500/ month for my doctor and the suboxone he prescribes me for over 15 years. If I don't take it, I won't sleep for weeks, but also can't work, can't function, and will be in the fetal position on the floor kicking and sweating for days. My "friends" I used to do pills with all got their kids taken from them, got put in jail, lost all their wealth, and 2 of them died. We were just having fun and were way too smart to get addicted. We were just taking them recreationally too. I suggest video games or maybe keeping reptiles/ amphibians as a recreation.

@WhatsHappening783402 my boastfulness isn't about being better than anyone except myself from yesterday brotha. Everybody has their own method of madness ya know.

Hell yeah

Facts

Genre of 1, you're quite right.

Not a lie man, his genre is just "upbeat honesty".

Yh I just start cry on that part... so deep...

Me too, I can still remember being curled up in a ball and rocking back and forth in the passengers seat of the car going to the dealers thinking i have to be stronger than this and get my shit together. I stopped making those trips 4 years ago and there’s 2 things that go through my mind everyday, the thought of getting high and praying for the strength to never make those trips again. God bless and i hope life is treating you good.

Iv talked to demons, but never a non fallen angel, wish God cared about me.

✌️❤️😊

Thank you for your service!! And bless you for being stronger than the demons!! Life is uncertain and precious ... I'm proud you took control of yours!! 🇺🇸❤👍

Hey brother. I felt this. Im getting close to that point in my life where I can dry up my demons. Like you I served and still am in. If you ever feel the need to talk about those demons, IGY6.

Those could be lyrics! awesome! my demons could swim. Clever, well said!!!

I see you.

Congrats on being a mom and braking the cycle.

I'm proud of you, keep going.

Keep that going!!

4th week is only days away, and 2nd month is right around the corner. I'm 3years and 7 months sober. It's worth every heartache and struggle. Proud of you stranger.

That's deep Bro !!!!! Jesus Christ all the way John 3.16

That is the best news I’ve heard today. Don’t know you , but keep on going dude. You got this.

It has done me a lot of good reading your msg. I am going through it now. Glad to see someone talking about opiates and actually being clean and winning. I wish there were more voices in that direction. I am at the beginning of where you were 4 years ago and it seems most of what I hear and read everyone only talks about how impossible it is and how they couldn't do it and most people will never get free from it. I pray that I can say the same as you 4 years from now.

Amen God bless you dude! Stay strong!!

You are not an addict my friend you are healed, congrats never let it define you.

Congrats on 4 yrs sober.

@@Justin-mp7zh , you can do it bro. I know it sucks so bad. Your pupils finally open up and the sun is too bright. But it let me see a lot of other things too. Before opiates, I was fun to be around. Always laughing and stuff. Then, all I was is a guy hunting for pills or heroin. When I quit, what helped me most was the Lord & mother nature & the Gulf of Mexico. I spent a lot of time hiking and walking. At night, I would sit on the beach. I still think about them almost everyday. Ya know...I also used to read. The Bible, of course. But Leo Tolstoy has volumes of parables. It made me think of better things. It sounds strange, but I also found myself envying the birds. They never feel sorry for themselves. I don't know what will help you, Justin. But I pray it works. Be strong, my brother. PowderCoater is right...don't let that define you. Much love & respect!!

Keep up the good work brother. Stay on that grind.

Congratulations on 8 mos. Keep up the good fight, brother. Will you be posting your music on your channel?

It's ok. I cried too. Keep up the fight. ❤️

It made me tear up, too, my man. I used to drink a liter of whiskey every day or so. A fifth was "doing good"... I stopped the liquor long ago and only drank beer from then on, but still struggle. It's easy for me to crush 8, 10, 15 *strong* beers in a day (not your typical bud light). I've been building up the courage to stop for a couple weeks and plan to give it another real old fashioned shot very soon. This song and some of the comments here are exactly what I needed right now. That's awesome that you're doing so well. It's inspiring. Keep it up man.

Ur 8? Dam. I feel bad for. I'll be here mate. Keep fighting

First sentence right on, 2nd... hopefully someday, but you can't take people places you never been. I hope he keeps praying and that he keeps searching, finds, and understands the Truth.
