OUR FIRST TIME REACTING TO RANDY TRAVIS- THREE WODDEN CROSSES (REACTION) 

Please leave you suggestions and we will see you next video!

There were 4 passengers: the preacher, teacher, farmer, and hooker. The preacher, teacher, and farmer died, but the hooker lived (survived). The hooker took the Bible that the preacher gave her and read it to her son (who then became a preacher).

The hooker lived, she hadn't fulfilled her reason for being on this earth. She went on to have a son who became a preacher. Beautiful song! Love Randy Travis ❤ Great reaction ❤

I kept saying... Rewind the last verse!! ❤️ It is a redemption song of how the hooker read the Bible to her son, who became a preacher himself. Hugs to you both.

I am soooo sooo glad y'all did this song!! The hooker didn't die because she hadn't made her mark yet, she was either pregnant at the time of the avlccident or soon after, and she raised her son in the Lord and was saved. Her son became the preacher ♥️

This one makes me cry everytime can listen to it a million times and the story always gets me 😪 I was fortunate to meet him and hear him live at the Houston rodeo. Randy was truly a humble man and one of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege to talk too. The preacher that told the story was the son of the hooker that became a preacher because his mom read him the Bible that the preacher on the bus gave to her while he was dieing. She was the one that lived! And her son became a preacher and told the story of the wreck.

I grew up listening to Randy.... always been one of my favorite singers!!!

God bless Randy... His music is beautiful and today he cant even talk.... He is one of the greatest and most beautiful song writers of my generation. And he is from my neighboring state of NC!!!

The hooker survived the crash. She read the Bible and it changed her life. She turned her life around and mothered a son who became a preacher. This is a song that tells us that no one is beyond the reach of God. As Christians we spread the Word of God not knowing how it may impact somebody’s life for Him. This simple gesture of handing a woman of ill repute a Bible led her to raising a son who would go on to leading others to Christ.

The thing I love about reaction videos is to see how different people perceive different things when given the same piece of information. Others have explained it pretty well, but I think there's a depth that's being missed. It's natural to see the mother/hooker as the "hero" of the song. However, I think it's the preacher. He touched something in that young woman's soul that solidified when he passed his Bible into her hands then passed. It was the faith he passed along that let the mother change her life and instilled it into her young son. I'm a story writer so I have a habit of seeing stories in things. I can just see an old-style bus, 1950's model perhaps. Most of the lights are out and the bus is quietly humming along. Except for a pool of light in row 13, where two people, a pregnant woman with haunted eyes and a well-dressed man with kindness and understanding in his. Was the driver distracted by this conversation? Was he smiling to see a young woman's soul being saved and missed the stop sign. Does she see her old life in her son? What does she name him? Does her memories of her old live haunt her when she sees her son? Beautiful song.

So glad you are hearing this amazing, beautiful song! Hope you love it like I do!

The hooker survived and after the crash changed her life and had a family and read the Preacher’s Bible to her son. Her son passed on the lesson after he became a preacher.

The Preacher telling the story was the son of the hooker who was the only survivor of the crash. 4 passengers a preacher, teacher, a farmer and the hooker. Before the Preacher in the crash passed he handed his bible to the pregnant hooker who was the only survivor from the bus.

The farmer, the teacher and the preacher all died in the accident. The preacher left his bible with the hooker and she read it to her son who then became a preacher himself to reach lost souls. So, in essence she left a great thing because she read that bible to her son and he went on to save other souls. Great reactions guys. Love it.

Sometimes we tend to over think things! Simple song with a beautiful message!

She got saved. Because she was pregnant. And her son end up being the preacher. That was a good song

I got too much to say! Great reaction! Please do more of him specifically Randy Travis and Carrie underwood I told you so- his song but as he says she made it hers. Also forever and ever amen. Also the CMA music awards where he was inducted and honored after his stroke. Showed my mom and she cried thinking there was some good in the world.

The hooker lived. That’s why there’s only 3 crosses and she read the Bible the preacher gave her as he was dying and she read it to her son who grew up to be the preacher telling the whole story at the end

I always have and always will love Randy Travis, this was my dads favorite song he passed away in 2022 I played this song at his funeral.

OMG! Right over your heads. I literally discovered this song a few days ago and have watched so many of my fav reactionaries bungle it!

Oh man! I kept waiting for it to hit you on the last verse. I was saying " Come on...get it, get it, get it". I pray you listen again and you pick up the true meaning. It's not about punishment, it's about redemption. God Bless.

The hooker didn’t die. She read the Bible that the preacher gave her to her son, who in turn became a preacher, and is giving a sermon about three wooden crosses and how it’s more important what you leave behind you when you die. The accident is what brought the hooker to God, and thus therefore her reading the Bible to her son is what made him a preacher. 🤷‍♂️

She lived and raised the preacher that told Randy the story!

Good job guys.Listen to it again you were on the right track.I wish you would have got it but some take a few times hearing it.

Jai! I have to tell you that you are absolutely the most BEAUTIFUL when you have a natural hair color like this! You are a QUEEN! SO pretty.... I'm jealous 😫

What it said in the end is that the hooker survived and that the preacher gave her, his bible. She took that bible and read it to her son every night. In the end her son became a preacher and used that blood stained bible to preach to his congregation. She was saved and used her second chance to do some good thanks to the preacher that gave her that bible.

I've been pushing for this song 😊 Now try George Strait Three Nails and a Cross.

It's one of my favorites... Always chokes me up... Randy's personal story will blow your mind... I won't spoil it, less you ask me to... Do you ever take song suggestions???? I got a couple good ones you may not have heard. Keep up the positive vibes!!!

My favorite Randy Travis song 🧡 Always makes me tear up!

The preacher gave his Bible to the hooker who turned her life around and gave birth to the preacher who told the story. Bless the farmer, the teacher and the preacher who gave this to my momma who read it to me. The last line of the song

Someone's in a good mood tonight! Two people in perticular....Half & Jai!?!?! I have always loved this song even when I wasn't a big Country Music fan!! But I became a really big fan of this song!!.God Bless you all!!

Did you see the clip when Kane Brown was singing it in radio station and they wheeled Randy in? Kane was floored. 👍🏻☺️

She survived and taught her son with the bible the preacher gave her on his death. He saved her in the last moments of her life. My momma loved that song she passed last Friday . She left a big family and all her love for us.

Ok, I absolutely love you two. You may not think you are perfect for each other, but you ARE. Rock on in this thing called Life and Love!

The timbre of his rich baritone voice is unparalleled. My favorite Randy Travis songs are Reasons I Cheat; Promises; Take Another Swing At Me; This is Me; Look Heart, No Hands; Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man; That’s Where I Draw the Line; I Told You So; The Box; He Walked On Water; Three Wooden Crosses; Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart; It’s Just a Matter of Time; On the Other Hand; and Forever and Ever Amen.

Always love the joy and sincerity of both of you. May God bless your family.

The Hooker was spared and gave birth to a child who become a preacher and gave his sermon from the very Bible the preacher gave his mother.

Jai you have the sweetest laugh ❣️

Love yall!!!💜

Y'all made me cry and it wasn't because of the song, it was because God knew she would bring a life into the world which became a man of God. Plus it changed his mother's path along the way, God is great. Marvelous!!

The preacher left behind the Bible for the hooker who survived the crash. That changed her life and she read it to her son every night and told the boy how she ended up with it. She left the Bible and the story and planted the preacher faith in her son who then became a preacher. The son is now sowing seeds of faith to his congregation. What the preacher started at his death with the gift of the Bible is now widespread because the congregation member told the story to the world in this song. So much blessing from one small gift.

The hooker didn't die. The preacher gave his Bible to her before he died. She gave the bible to her son who became a preacher. Great song.

The Hooker survived the crash, she kept the preachers bible.

Faith moves mountains

Aweome True Song And Loved It Randy Travis Is Great Story Teller Has Meaning Too His Songs ...

Y’all missed the Point on this one, The Hooker Lived and read the Bible to her son who became a preacher himself, that’s y there was only 3 crosses and not 4

I am so glad to see youns after so many years. You have such a strong bond. Me and my significant other just celebrated 25 yrs. The hooker was given the gift of God's word, and shared that with her son. Who became a preacher. She was lost but not forgotten by the savior, and was given the chance for redemption. It appears she took it and shared it with her son.

I always thought that the hooker was going to Mexico to get an abortion and the preacher was trying to talk her out of it. She survived the crash and had her son who later became a preacher.

The preacher gave his bible to the hooker. She survived the accident, turned her life around and read the bible to her son who grew up to become a preacher himself.

I don't blame you for missing it but I suggest listening to it again and it will come together and and you will realize how moving it is. The writing in country music like this is great!

Love you guys. Quit getting stunned 😂, she lived and her son became a preacher 😂😂😂

Wow! The First? May I suggest the biggest hit and is always a great success when played at any white wedding, Randy Travis - Forever and Ever Amen...

This song by Berry McGuire is about 60 something years old and it's deep. This song is even more appropriate for today. The women also marched and protested the Vietnam War because they were sick of their sons returning from Vietnam in a box. The rich was given a choice to go to war or not but a draft was set for the poor so they had no choice but to go to war in Vietnam and fight this war that no one asked for.

Half you gotta stop Jai ain't gonna get to finish her water today 😂😆😂😆😂

The farmer was headed for vacation, the teacher for higher education (I think), but the important part of that line was that two of them were searching for lost souls. The preacher to reach the lost, and the hooker who knew her soul was lost. I can understand the anguish that she felt. Knowing something was gone and searching to find it.

Y’all need to listen to this one again: It’s a great message. Check the preacher at the end!

THE DASH I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on the tombstone From the beginning...to the end. He noted that first came the date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time They spent alive on earth. Now only those who loved them Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own, The cars...the house...the cash. What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So, think about this long and hard. Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what's true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect And more often wear a smile, Remembering this special dash Might last just a little while. So, when your eulogy is being read With your life's actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent YOUR dash? ~L. Ellis 💖💖💖

The Hickory left with the preachers Bible and raised her son by reading it to him which he became a preacher also. He then started preaching the gospel. That was her gift she read the Bible to her son and turned her life around and raised him in the love and admonition of the Lord

The hooker survived....when the preacher gave her the Bible he saved her....she read the Bible to her son who became a preacher. Thus song makes me cry still today because...like you two judged her wrong...people judge me wrong too. 😊

First off. "I Love you two". I never really listened to the words of this song, and when I listened with you, I was thinking "How sad 😢. The hooker wasn't acknowledged and possibly didn't go to heaven 😢. Then I read the comments, ( I have learned so much through comments). And they said, that the hooker survived because she was saved in two ways, one by the others through gospel on the bus and by the grace of "God " to finish her life mission which was to lead others to the Lord through her testimonials. Especially her son who became a preacher at the end of the song. I listened a second time and bawled my eyes out! 😭. Not just because of the song and story but also because of my love for God and Randy Travis who had such a God given gift but had a stroke that took away his ability to sing. God Bless him. ♥️

Last verse. That's the story our preacher told last Sunday, as he held that blood stained Bible up for all of us to see. He said,"bless the farmer, the teacher and the preacher who have this Bible to my momma (which was hooker the preacher gave Bible to, and she turned her life around and taught her son (which became a preacher). So she actually let a greater blessing behind than the others

Love watching you guys react to country music. I lived in Cali for 6 years back in the 90's. My life then is so far removed from my life now, living in rural Wyoming in a town of 1100 and country is pretty much all anyone listens to. Never thought growing up this would be my life. I loved the city and all it has to offer. However, I wouldn't trade this quiet country life for anything now.

As the ol' saying goes ''God works in mysterious ways''! God uses people for his glory, even people that don't know God! The three people that died was saved and already ready to go to Heaven if something happened. The hooker wasn't ready, so God spared her life to give her more time to get right(saved)! So, he used her as she learned more about the Lord to birth and bring up a child to become a man of God (preacher) in order to reach more souls for God! Great song and God Bless!

In the beginning he says of the four passengers, one was headed for vacation (farmer), one for higher education (teacher), and two of them were searching for lost souls (preacher and hooker). The preacher is obviously looking to save the souls of nonbelievers, those in trouble, etc, but the hooker is most likely searching for her own lost soul. In the end the preacher helps save her soul and she goes on to have a good life teaching her son about God.

Randy Travis had a stroke can’t sing anymore but he can sing amen from this song it breaks my heart for him I’m praying to get back his voice

By now you know the "REST of the story" (Paul Harvey reference). One of my favorite "secular" songs of redemption.

Every time I hear this song, I get choked up at the end. The way the song allows the listener to have that ah-ha moment. Alluding the hooker received salvation through the Lord. That she read the Bible to her young son, now a Preacher.

The farmer left his farm, the teacher left her wisdom, the preacher gave his bible to the hooker, who gave it to her son who became preacher.

Yes! Listen to it again now that you have read some comments, and THEN you will get the message!!! God bless you!

The farmer, teacher, preacher died. The hooker lived and the preacher gave her the bible. She ended up reading the bible to her son and the son became a preacher at the end of the song.

I know everyone is explaining this song, but the part that may be confusing is that there are two preachers. One died in the bus wreck after giving his bible to the hooker. The second is the hooker’s son who was telling the story last Sunday. The hooker got saved and red the Bible to her son. He became a preacher.

The Hooker had the Blood Stain Bible and it she read it to her son who became the next preacher

Y'all! The hooked gave birth to a preacher! He had the blood soaked Bible that the preacher on the bus gave her.

The hooked lived got saved and had a child.. and changed her ways

Most places that have fatal car accidents will have wooden crosses on the roadside. The hooker survived and the dying preacher ( looking for a soul to save) gave her his bible. She was pregnant and she read it to her child who grew up to be a preacher who told the story to his congregation in church.

The hooker didn't die. She got saved after the accident and raised her son who became the preacher at the end of the song.

Love you guys! If you ever get a chance check out the Travis Tritt trilogy. It's three different songs- Anymore, Tell me I was dreaming and If I lost you. The songs are great but the videos all go together.

the farmer, teacher and preacher died. the preacher gave his Bible to the hooker ((who survived)) and she read it to her son every day and he got saved and became a preacher. THAT is what the hooker left behind.....a preacher who leads people to Christ 🙌💕

the dying preacher saved the hookers soul, and she kept his Bible and changed her ways and lived on to have a son who became a preacher and told his mother's story in his church.

The hooked was the mother of the preacher who told the story to his congregation.

The Hooker left behind a son, and she would read the Bible to her son. And the son, then was the Preacher, who told the story of the Farmer, the Teacher, and the Preacher, who died on the right side of the highway.

It's a story of redemption. The hooker was redeemed by the act of the dying preacher on the bus. The fact she, in turn, raised a preacher was testament to her redemption.

I’m sure somebody already answered this, but the farmer, the teacher and the preacher died, but he left his Bible to the Hooker, who changed her life, and had a son who became a preacher.

Love when people react to this song. Especially my favourite reactors!! (I'm Canadian. It's Favo*u*rite lol

The hooker was his mama, as the preacher was dying he gave her his Bible….the hooker didn’t die but gave her life to the Lord instead….beautiful message

Omg guys the hooked never died! Lol re-listen to it lol

The preacher giving her the Bible caused her to read it and got saved. Then her reading it to her song led him to become a preacher.

It's kind of a deep song you notice at the beginning of the song when he was talking about who was on the bus. It was a farmer a teacher a hooker and a preacher. The farmer was on vacation the teacher was looking for higher education. Then he said two of them were searching for lost souls that was the hooker and the preacher. Okay the bus crashed they all died except the hooker. But the preacher before he died he gave his Bible to the hooker. So like as he was dying he was trying to witness to the hooker you remember where he said the preacher whispered can't you see the Promised land as he laid his blood-stained Bible in that hookers hand so when he gave the Bible to the hooker she read it and it changed her life and she had a son and she read the Bible to him and he became a preacher at the end where it says that's the story that our preacher told last Sunday as he held that blood-stained Bible up for all of us to see the preacher was the son of the hooker it's pretty deep

His Mama was the hooked. Who changed her life.

The way the song is written, we assume at first that the hooker was not valued by anyone because she was a sinner and "just" a hooker, and that's why there was no cross for her. But then we find out that the hooker didn't die, and that's why there isn't a cross for her. The dying preacher on the bus gave her his Bible. She turned her life around, got Jesus, and read the Bible to her son, who became the narrator's preacher who told the story.

There were 3 wooden crosses because only 3 died. The preacher the teacher and the farmer. The preacher gave the blood-stained Bible to the hooker before he died. That changed her she had a son to whom she told the story about what happened to her. When he grew up the son became a preacher and was telling the story to his congregation.

The Hooker survived and after the Preacher gave her his Bible, she turned to it, was saved and read it to her son and her son became a preacher out of all that!!!!!

The hooked lived, read the Bible, taught it to her son. The son was preaching from the Bible tge preacher gave his mommy.

While on the bus the preacher clearly spoke with the hooker when they had the accident the preacher gave his Bible to the hooker remember in the song it was bloodstained Bible. At the end of the song the preacher held up that blood-stained bible and told the story of how his mother read it to him, which is how he became a preacher himself. Basically the hooker did survive changed her ways and read that Bible to her son and now he is sharing his story and his mother story.

Just want to say congrats on 275k subs! You guys are great!!

Love you both! That’s one of my favorite songs. I love that God saved the hooker, giving her the chance to repent. I’m going paying my penance now. God hasn’t given up on me . Bless you both

The Hooker was his Mother who kept the Preachers Bible. Life changing.

Love yall!! Listen to it again.. The hooker survived, but she read the bible to her son, that now was (Randy Travis's preacher!❤❤ ..

Been a fan of yall for years! Keep up the amazing work, god bless

If you are not sure about a song and its meaning, you can go to Songfacts and get all kinds of information. You can pause your video and do it right then and/or read it aloud to us. I have seen several other reactors do that. It can make your reaction even better! I know for sure it will help those watching who are saying "no, no, that's not what it means" ... it would be satisfying to see you understand the meaning. It's just a suggestion. I know you will get the story after you read the comments, but it would be fun for us to see you understand it. Love you guys ... you are a goofy, silly, REAL couple! God bless you.
