I’ve been one of your OG fans since I started uni.. I guess we became Christians around the same time. I met this wonderful woman who is now my fiancé, she helped me through some tough, spiritual , life changing times and I ended up getting baptized and engaged to her. Long story short, I am proud of you, God be praised my brother.

I started watching young Don in 6th grade around 2018 and I’m a senior in high school now. I would’ve never imagined him doing a complete 360 and abandoning his worldly ways. This really truly showed me just how powerful God truly is. I can’t even fathom how the person who I used to watch make funny videos about drugs, sex, masturbation etc., is now now making Christian videos will a full heart turned to God. I’ve been raised in a Christian household my entire life but this made me realize how lukewarm I actually am. Seeing Don become Christian has given me motivation that I’m not too far gone and that the Lord can truly use anyone in any circumstance. I’m proud of you Don❤ Thank you for being a testimony that many will come to Christ from❤️

Eternally man he will always be my favorite RU-vidr because he actually helped guide me to become more faithful myself through the lenses of someone who was originally very worldly.

God bless you man, I pray for your future and for your family. I pray for many blessings, and for peace and growth. I wish you well! Thank you for sharing your testimony with the world, that’s awesome! And I’m glad you’re finding your way. And I pray the same for everyone who reads this, God bless you all, and have a good one! Personally I’ve been a Christian for a while now. My life has gone through a lot of changes over the years of course. But, recently I had a great experience. I had been missing a very big part of me for idk how long exactly, maybe almost three years or so. And it was rough. I was overwhelmed with anxiety and depression. I was unsure about the future, and over all I was lost. Honestly it had gotten to the point where I knew I was scared, but I couldn’t really understand how I had felt, and couldn’t quite call it fear. It sucked to say the least. There was a lot going on, which is funny because it was a fairly recent event though I talk about it in past tense. The Lord made me whole again. And I’ve been praying and keeping strong faith and anyway, one day I had broke down, and I said a prayer out of desperation. Then a couple days later I got a call from my grandfather, and he said something basic. It was simple all he said was hey I love you and I want to see you succeed, go out there and just go for it. So I told myself I would do it, I wouldn’t hold myself back. Then everything changed. Immediately I could feel it was like a complete change of heart as idk crazy as that sounds, just like movie magic. So after I think a few minutes I went to get water or something I forget, but I walked past the mirror and in the back of my mind I wondered if my appearance had changed. Call me what you want, but for the first time in a long time, I can see the light in my eyes again. Just like when I had first gone to a place called jobcorps I was full of enthusiasm and had a “can do” attitude, I got at it! I was 100 mph, and I pretty much always had a big smile on my face, before I had just lost all enthusiasm and drive and almost all will. And then it was it. I was glowing again, I had light in my eyes and since then I’m like a completely different person. But that’s not even the half of it. I went to church that week, and I believe the holy spirit had come over me. Every word spoke to me, it was everything I needed to hear. The sermon was on the gospel of Matthew this part in particular was on chapter 13. And at that time I had come out of the storm as the message had been leaning more towards those who were still in the midst of their storm. So the whole time I had been filled with overwhelming joy and it was unreal and I just, it was awesome, it was amazing. I can’t quite do that justice, because I can only type out my thoughts. But the pastor had begun to call people to the altar. He called those who were going through a storm to come up and he would pray for them and thats when it happened. I got up because I wanted to make a declaration to God and to myself if that’s the right word. So I went up, I put my arm around my mom and here’s the beauty of it. He started praying and suddenly I started to choke up, and I raised my fist in the air as high as it could go, and I shouted hallelujah and it was louder than I expected. And after the pastor had finished praying I was crying, my mom gave me a hug and idk how long maybe a minute or two, but I held her. People comforted me, and sat down and I just couldn’t help but cry tears of joy with that big dumb smile on my face the whole time. And then I went to sit down, I had actually hugged my dad for the first time since I was just a boy. And I just kept thanking the lord. I still choke up a bit just thinking about it, I can’t say how grateful I am. But God is so good, God is awesome he really is. I’m still young I’m only 24. I thought I had things figured out, at least to some degree at one point in my life. I had finally truly begun to believe in God, and to have some sort of understanding of the reality of God’s love for us. Btw I don’t think we could even fathom it, it’s awesome. But, idk. I’m learning, and I’m growing in my walk with Christ and it’s great. I went and shared it with all my friends I couldn’t help but share it. People were happy for me and came to see me after service, and I talked to one of the deacons and he said a prayer with me and he told me something that stuck with me. A lot of people as you may be aware can fake it, they go to church but don’t really believe but he told me that I can’t fake it. And it was a good thing because I hadn’t even realized that. But, he said that he sees me smile in church and he sees that I am genuine and that encourages him, and that I had encouraged everyone that day when God had put his glory on display. I had even realized a similar thing when I had left jobcorps for the first time. I went to two different jobcorps centers, and I had learned that you never truly know the effect that you have on others until you see it or it’s revealed to you. And even for a long time I had been blind metaphorically by my failures and short comings, my flaws. The things I am good at hardly ever came to mind. In my mind there was always something wrong with me. And in my efforts to move forward, you know being encumbered in my pursuit of whatever, you don’t see what you’ve done. Sometimes we need a reminder to take a deep breath and a step back to look at everything we’ve accomplished to see that we’ve gone far, and we sometimes sell ourselves short. But I believe that anybody can do great things if they truly set their heart and mind to it. I didn’t entirely believe that before, but it’s true within reason of course. But we can do more than we think we can. And if you just take a look around even at the screen your reading off of, l this is amazing we are literally communicating wirelessly, from all across the world and this happens probably pretty instantaneously. Maybe a bit of poor internet here and there but the whole world can read this message and every other message like it. How did we go from banging rocks together to smashing atoms and modern medicine? That’s absolutely insane. But, I also want to say that this is all in the moment. A lot will stay with you for the rest of your life, be it pain or good memories. But one of the staff at jobcorps told me, always remember that momentary sadness doesn’t define your future. I pray for many people to understand the joy that I felt. Or let me rephrase that. I pray for many people to be abundantly blessed in such a way that they see the Glory of God as I have, or even greater so. And that they experience a great and life changing overwhelming joy that just sets their life on a new course toward everlasting life. Thank you to anyone who’s taken the time out of their day to read this far. It really means a lot for people in this world to be genuine. To legitimately care about other people. It’s important, it really is obviously. But you know, life is hard, it seems like the whole world is all for them and their own and like not many people really care about those beside them. But we’re all human. You all be blessed, and you all do your best! And I know these are words on a screen of whatever kind but, if you take anything from this just have faith and never let go of it. God’s love is unlike anything, I don’t care what anyone says. Call me a fool call me whatever. But honestly I don’t even have words for this really. God will guide you, things may seem impossible but truly, everything we face, everything in the way, everything keeping us down, holding us back, it’s all beneath him. The greatest fear is of that which is unknown. But though we may be uncertain about things God is always in control. And that is eternal and absolute. That’s hard to wrap your head around, and I say that in general not specifically toward the individual people reading this it’s just something else entirely. Emotions are very powerful things to say the very least, fear anxiety these things can consume us as they have done myself. But though they may seem like everything, and just to be a great weight over our shoulders, they’re really nothing at all. God can and will make a way out of no way, and there’s no change. God will always be in control and only wants what’s best for all of us. We just have to trust him and he will do the rest. Thank you again if you’ve read this far. I hope each of you enjoy your week and that you continue to grow and that you all do great things in life and you all find peace and great joy, and that each of you share those blessings with others.

Hey, I used to be a fan of yours before you became a man of God. I am basically just starting with God myself at 20; and when I tell you, God must have placed it in your mind to make this video, I was having doubts too. I just asked God for wisdom today, and here I saw this video (thinking you didn't do videos anymore) and found the verse I needed to hear from Him. Thank you. You're doing great.

@@Benjaminjames7 first, it's God not god, He is the Almighty and do give Him His due respect, and as for evil existing, we as humans are born sinners because of what Adam and Eve did by corrupting the pure free will granted to us by God and we are the ones who continually breed evil by being separate from God and thus being vulnerable to the devil and the reason Jesus is the solution is because He came down to earth to atone for our sins and to save our souls from eternal damnation by dying on the cross and taking on all that punishment so that whoever believes in him shall have eternal life and spend eternity in heaven after departing from this world instead of hell where it is pain and suffering for eternity, crazy how people are more willing to acknowledge the existence and threat of the devil yet reject the love and mercy of God

I would go along with what my family and friends said just so that I wouldn’t be ostracized, I even wrote a poem about it in 6th grade. Now, for a while I have been trying to let go of all doubt and not fake my faith, and this video has inspired me to continue this journey. Thank you🙏

I didn't know who you were until you became a "Christian RU-vidr". Your channel is great and I appreciate the content a lot. I'm 43 and have been a Christian since childhood. I've listen to a a TON of different Pastors and John McArthur use to be one of my favs. He's gone done quite a bit as far as my top-10 list. If you dont mind, I'd like to share my top two that i think you would really like. That is, if you really want to be that devout spiritual soldier of Christ. First is Mark Driscoll and second is Brother Robert Breaker. Super Christian Alphas that really do align with a lot of your existing content in my opinion. Anyway, I love your content
