I actually relate to you on so many levels. Everyone sees me as this ray of sunshine (which is who I am tbh) but no one really know how hard it is for me when I go back home. I'm in a better place now, But I don't think I'm ready to share my story yet. I feel like there's still a long way for me to go. Thanks for sharing Josiah 💛
“If people can take something from you. That means you have something to give” Listening to you speak in this even shows a glimpse of what you went through. Wow. This gives me so much to think about. The struggle refines you and strengthens you.
GEMS: 🗣🗣"There's a light inside of me that I'm not required to see but am required to be" "Just because God sends someone to bring a package doesn't mean he can't drop it from heaven"
Josiah thank you - RU-vid changed your life and your testimony continues to change our lives. You don’t know how much you’ve helped me and others, in our low moments. Obviously i cannot wholly understand everything you went through but there are so many similarities and I’m soooo thankful that you are here to share. I know that you will continue to grow in strength because you’re relying on this immovable Rock. Thank you so much
You’re so strong. There may be times where you don’t feel like it but you are so strong for holding on. You still held unto your faith. You still held unto your life and that isn’t easy, especially when the stereotype is that black men don’t go through these things. I honestly pray that your relationship with God continues to grow and become more intimate because He is your number one fan and your strongest supporter. Keep looking forward hun, You’re doing amazing
Lol, funny how I was going though a similar case about a month ago. There were times I would think of just letting go. But after lots and lots of prayer and fasting, God took control. And I still believe he has more in store for me. Uni stress is hard ngl.
i remember first finding you out about a year ago or so and the struggle you went through with uni and the hard work you put towards student finance, i recall seeing how down you were even though you smiled most of the time, it showed me that God will put people through tests to test our strength but youtube was your call bc you’re so talented and gifted. by God’s grace you’ll go even further than you already are and i can’t wait to see you do more amazing things, it’s all love ❤️
I basically never comment on a video but I felt the urge to comment this time. I just want to let you know that you are so loved by God and everything you have gone through really has brought glory to God. You're a true inspiration and I thank God for your life. Please keep shining and sharing with us. This video has really touched me. God bless you x
God bless you fam, Im at a point in my life where I'm confused and you sharing your experiences has really helped me regain my faith in God. I'm reassured everything will be fine. So once again thank you and God bless you. Love from Botswana 👊
You are amazing Josiah. I have been following your channel for awhile and you've always kept it so honest. God definitely uses you in more way than you think and hearing your testimony today has helped inspired me to keep persevering. I'll have you in my prayers.
O.M.G this is some deep stuff! wow I'm glad God did work things out for your good damm!! I almost cried when I saw you tearing up, I thank God for using you as a source of blessing in our lives and also a reminder of his existence
When I attended uni my dissertation was on student loan and mental health as they had just introduced this then. Money problems can lead to depression and suicide. It's a serious issue.
You’re such a blessing and your life is truly a testimony that’s still being crafted to impact the world. Keep shining and keep being you and staying connected to God, your beautiful soul and transparency always impacts me and challenges me to keep pushing even when it’s hard. Thanks for sharing your mental health journey through that tough time, you’re helping more people than you even know. Stay blessed Josiah x
Wow. Man I feel this whole heartedly. "Trying to convince people that you're broken." This video touched my heart. I know what it feels like to be the one expected to be lively and "sane" at all times that no one can see how much you actually struggle day to day mentally. God is so good and faithful. He has placed so much inside of us that He wants to bring out for his glory! This is proof! As I watch this video from America, God is moving through you reaching people all over the world. Your journey will continue to bless people. Remember, It is when we are weak that we are strong, it is for His name's sake. And You were making perfect sense btw. Blessings, and love king 😚❤👑
I totally understand you. These past two years have been the roughest years of my life. I have been doing a lot of soul searching and going to therapy. I also suffer from anxiety and depression and Ptsd from being abused as a child. I just learned to take it one day at a time. I also from strength from watching your videos and Manny, ab, shah, etc. I love you Josiah. Stay blessed 🤗❤🤗😗
It crazy when I hear people talking about their counselling experience and it's been less then positive, just being my friends and I have had such helpful experiences. And I know the reason it took me so long to talk was because I was wary of the receation and I know I less than positive one would of stopped me. I'm so sorry that your experience was like that and I'm thankful God placed people on your life the way he did
Men really needs to talk & cry on someone’s shoulder. Mental health is a serious think. *I thank god you’re here!* Men cry! Who ever told you men to suck everything in, *DON’T DO THAT*
& During that time is when i actually found your channel :) & i was just like WOWWW God gotchu - you are so strong thanks for sharing this video too xo Daisy
Thank you for sharing your experience, it has truly helped me to know the true value of God and to be able to have that want and need to be closer to him.
I honestly felt each and every minute of this video. I have felt every single word you have said because honestly i can relate. I want to commend for not just being this funny guy all the time but also having the courage to be vulnerable in front of the world. Take it from someone who tends to wear two masks as well. I really love what youve been doing and i genuinely want to say from the bottom of my heart that you are strong Josiah. You are very strong. African children sometimes really have it tough and you are speaking for them, for us.. and id like to say thank you!👏
your an inspiration g . continue to do what you do. i am about to start uni and honestly watching your videos have helped me prepare mentally and for that i thank you
Josiah Josiah, I haven't finished the video but it is really touching me. I have went through similar turmoil in uni. What really got me out of it was PROCLAMATIONS. It is so powerful. Waking up everyday proclaiming the word of God over your life, it makes all the difference. I have a long list of the proclamations I make regarding fear/anxiety/sound mind/who I am in Christ if you're interested. God bless x
Hey Brother, keep hanging in there! Cry out to God when the anxiety and darkness tries to creep back up on you. We have power in prayer, so make sure you continue to pray. Live in the light and you will see that God will continue to uplift you from anxiety. Much love! Do you still have your go fund me account?
This is my current mental state for a year now. No one knows about it and I don’t plan on telling anyone around me because I don’t wanna look weak or show vulnerability. Seen as the funny one too but nah my life is the joke. I thought youtube would help but it really hasn’t, but been a great distraction. But I like that you were able to share that, especially because we fail to notice that guys go through shit too
Thank you so much for sharing your story. God bless you and your household. God kept you because he knew what he had placed within you ... it just took believing in him and having faith to see it through. Josiah you are so talented and don't ever let anyone tell you anything different. We all go through certain storms in our life so that are character is tested. But the fact that you can come onto a platform and share it is just amazing, back then you didn't know what God was doing but now you see it. It takes so much bravery and courage to go through what you went through. I pray that when others watch this, they to will have faith, believe, be bold and trust the process. God bless you man!
never apologies for being emotional or breaking down it just means you are human and that makes you a man. just like in the old days where people thought a man wearing pink was girl but look at it now, they look smart and handsome. The same goes for a man young or old sharing his emotions. It's ok and you make of you healing and being or feeling better. Anyways love
