The Part of Christianity I've been Missing my ENTIRE LIFE! 

Ayyy! This is so great! Amen, I agree, living and walking in truth AND spirit is amazing. Jesus is so awesome

Didn't expect to see a christian video with this style, keep it up.

I was sorta the same. I grew up in a Christian home, listened to Christian music, went to church every Sunday and youth group every Wednesday, I read my bible... sometimes, but it was more like I was an NPC just doing what I knew I needed to do to seem like a Christian. But in the last year and a half God really made a move in my life and gave me guidance. Now I have a relationship with Him and I'm on fire for Him like never before.

CHRISTIAN STORY TIME LETS GO ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

An insanely talented artist who is a Christian as well? Splendid, I must now subscribe

This is a fresh air for me considering that it is rare to find animation christian videos than the majority of normal animation videos

Man, I'm not much of a comments guy, but I can say without a doubt that God presented me with your channel; The vibe is so chill and wholesome, the way you presented the topic, either by drawing or your script is impeccable. God bless you sister!

God just pulled me back from sin and opened my eyes I still struggle with praying often and reading the word,but hearing that Im not the only one struggling has helped This video gave me a new perspective and I have you to thank for it,and plus,I found another christian who likes to draw :D

From lukewarmness to being religious, pharisee style, to having a real relationship with God! It's nice to see this perspective. Sometimes, the hardest people to talk to about Christ are those who believe that they know God when all they do is know about Him. Thank you for this.

The youtube algorithm really gave me a good reminder. Thanks for making this.

*Kicks down door* ANOTHER CHRISTIAN ARTIST??? SIGN ME UP-

Heyy it’s so good to find another Christian who seems to like to draw! I really do love your little drawings lol, but aside from that I do really relate to knowing OF God, but not technically KNOWING Him. I grew up in a Christian home as well and I had always believed, though it wasn’t until last summer that I really started acting on it and trying to be who God has called me to be. It’s gonna be a tough adventure for us, but it will all be worth it once we get to see the Father and our Lord and Savior in Heaven someday! God bless you sister!!🫶🏻🫶🏻💕💕

i feel like jesus touched my heart, but my head is in the way.

"We will watch your career with great interest."

There are times where I really get frustrated because I think I'm not doing enough. Like I could be more bold, or read the scriptures more, be more attentive to people's needs and that comes from a place of wanting to honor God. I don't want to be the reason people turn away from Him. But when I said that to my lovely mom, she said I was focusing on the results too much, and forgot my relationship with God, and that was really insightful

this is absolutely amazing to see a Christian testimony with super incredible animation. massive win for the creative Christian community

"Heart message" love that My heart message is that Jesus is my joy, because before He was in my heart, my life was a blur of dark and sorrow.

I commonly get bogged down by theology and reading but I realized recently that is what is really important for my relationship with god is prayer, I need a direct connection with god to be guided properly

"THE DICHOTOMY OF THE CHURCH" is SUCH bar. i was literally talking with my friend last night about charasmatic v baptist churches and how each has merit but both can tend to lean to far towards one thing or the other, legalism or sensationism. the verse you used and explanation here is so good

I find it relieving to find a channel in this style that has faith in God. I hope this finds you well, and I wish you well. Thank you for your work. When the battles of life come again, remember to fear not the storms and winds of daily life, there is ebb and flow to the sea, but the sea remains the sea. Remain steadfast and love yourself as you would another. c:

i havent watched any christian youtube videos in some years now, and yet this came to me. the start of this video is quite relatable, mostly the part of trying to be perfect and forcefully remove myself from sin to become closer. and i cant forget being riddle with anxiety over the concept of death and where we might end up. worrying for the world, my family, myself. it was really rough and i had to essentially give up this way of being a believer for my mental health. i feel like lately ive been more healed from this line of thinking, and i no longer feel... idk how to describe it but hearing about christianity made me feel sick to my stomach, my heart, my everything. like my body instantly remembered all the struggle, strife, and anxiety and had a reaction to it. but now i dont get that way anymore. seeing this video in my feed made me feel kind of neutral, and i kind of took it as a sign i was meant to see this. i definitely dont want to go back to where i was before, but im open to doing "this" again in a different way. anyway, i hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend. thanks for sharing

"Conquering sin became a natural part of our relationship, not an impossible battle." YES! Even in through a Christian tradition that super emphasized the spiritual (specifically "deliverence"), I became so fixated on getting rid of sin and strongholds with the right words, arguments, and prayers that I lost sight of God's hand on me. Standing up to sin and the Enemy is often something that I've falsely viewed as a prerequisite to intimacy and worship of God and experiencing His affection. In reality, it is only God’s affection that can allow us to loosen our grip on the other things we are tempted to hold onto and it is through praise that we stand up to the devil. Good stuff!

"It's a storybook of God's faithfulness." that hit me hard. Thank you! God bless

This understanding of the two facets being spirit and truth is huge. It’s painful really to finally understand that you can understand the truth theologically/intellectually, maybe better than most but lack the true sense of relationship and love that should accompany that knowledge. It’s hard watching others with a childlike faith while you feel old and jaded and you’re still trapped in a cycle of enslaving sin. When I really think about it, the closest I ever felt with God was when I was initially saved. The freedom and love that came with the notion that the creator of the universe intentionally revealed Himself and put on our flesh and died for us was infinitely more helpful in turning from sin than full and deep theological understanding and focus on being absolutely 100% correct theologically. I’ve lost that sense of it being okay to be sinner. I know in my brain it is, but my heart is burdened and I feel condemned. I gave up intimate connection for knowledge, thinking that knowing would free me. Thinking I could even free myself through gaining more knowledge. It’s profound really and still just as crazy and hard to accept that there is no work you could do. No knowledge you could attain. Nothing I do, makes me deserving of God’s mercy, He just gives it because that’s who He is. He is absolutely incredibly profound and I need to find relationship with Him again, not just know who he is like some kind of researcher/interviewer. I thank God for your existing and making this video, I see now that I’m missing the other essential half to my walk with God

Hey, Sierra! Your video has DEEPLY touched me! I'm so glad that you've come to know God in this way! I went through a similar process six years ago: I lived most of my life with severe anxiety and depression--from age 6 to 24. On my 21st birthday, I had a complete nervous breakdown that made me a suicidal shut-in, and a year later I developed a sudden condition that left me crippled, even with surgery. I had given my life to Christ when I was 14, after spending 2 years trying to disprove the Bible, which culminated in having a supernatural encounter. But, despite my church's best intentions, it became religion to me--rules to follow to be a "good Christian". Outwardly, I believed in God and staunchly defended my faith with both facts and Scripture, but deep down... I was hurting. So, when I had my nervous breakdown, I completely abandoned my faith. I didn't shake my fist at the sky and say "Screw you, God," but I determined that church and everything else were actually making my mental illnesses worse. My church was adamant in teaching that we can never be free from sin, and that life was just a waiting game; all the good stuff--all the transformation of self--came after death and/or Jesus' return, so in my mind it was a win-win. God "understood" my sin, so long as I acknowledged it in repentance and tried my best to stop, so surely He'd understand if I went my own way in search of a cure, right? After all, Christianity just boiled down to believing a few key things that happened a long time ago, and trying your best to uphold certain moral values. Well, eight months after my unsuccessful surgery, and three and a half years after I'd abandoned my faith, I woke up one morning totally healed! The muscle atrophy reversed overnight, the pain (which was excruciating) was all gone, and I could walk, run, and kneel just as well as before my injury! I knew it had to be God, so I started reading my Bible again. Two weeks later, during a panic attack (which was daily for me), this overwhelming sense of love hit me! I could feel the unconditionalness of it: it had nothing to do with my successes or failures, past, present, or future! In an instant, like a snap of the fingers, the anxiety and depression disappeared! In that moment, for the first time in quite literally FOUR YEARS, I began to feel something other than deep despair. I spent a long time in my room, crying both tears of joy and mourning for all I'd been through. Shortly after, God started speaking to me. He told me that the stuff we read about in the Gospels and Acts were never supposed to stop, and that He was calling me to do that for others. Specifically, He's called me to be a healer and encourager to people in my everyday life, and an artist and a writer for my calling. As soon as I saw your thumbnail, I was immediately drawn to this video and your channel. I could tell that Holy Spirit had something special in store for me here, and I want to encourage you in that you have a very special gift! Perhaps this is a bit sudden--I'm a little new to forming relationships with people, especially since my old church friends were a little freaked out at my sudden transformation and my testimony--but I'd love to talk to you and hear more about your story and God experiences! I just made a Discord account a few days ago. I may be able to learn more about art from you, too. I'm in the process of starting my own RU-vid channel as a way to practice my art and writing. Either way, thank you so much for your inspirational work! It's motivated me to work even harder, and reminded me of the simplicity of life with Him!~ "This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all." (1 John 1:5)

Here's he thing I've been a Christian my whole life to and we've all done things we are not proud off and wish didn't happen. I've struggled a lot with mental health and addiction in various forms and I can guarantee you that the only reason that I'm still alive Is Jesus. Sometimes its just about knowing in your heart that Jesus truly loves you more than you could ever know or imagine, whenever I think about how much Jesus loves me and what he's done for us it makes me want to cry and that says a lot because for the longest time I couldn't cry and I became a very messed up person. Jesus is infinitely more wise than we could ever imagine and has more understanding than I could ever think about and is incredibly patient with all of us, We just have to wait on him and see how he moves next. REMEMBER THISS: THE BATTLE IS ALREADY WON! Romans 3:23: for fall have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as ka propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.

This is the key to Christianity that so many people like yourself miss and many of us forget. We should never lose sight of the balance of truth and love. We gain nothing without love (1 Corinthians 13), but love without truth and goodness are just as equally meaningless having little to no impact. I loved your animations too, very beautiful color and artistic expression. Lord may you bless this faithful servant who is growing in her love and knowledge of you and your will for her life, amen. 🙏🏻🙌🏻

I didn't know there were Christian animators like this!?

Halloo :) it’s so cool to see this video as a fellow Christian and visual artist. I’m rooting for you from Ethiopia :)

Wowowwow I didn’t expect to see a video like this on my feed but it’s so cool! I had a similar experience as you. I grew up catholic (in a catholic school too) and my dad was an atheist turned christain around when I was born. He had ways been looking for a church to call home for most of my life and often I would join him on his search and experience Christian church outside of my usual Catholic one. It wasn’t until I moved that we found an amazing church and I realized I was missing an entire part of my relationship with Jesus. It was hard to unlearn some of the misinterpretations I believed was true, but my community and dad helped me understand the Bible to the core. God bless 🙏

Stumbled upon your video by chance, and really needed to hear it. I had much of the same upbringing; always a Christian, never doubting God's existence. You put it really well when you said the wall between you and God feels like reading a book about Caesar and knowing he existed, but never actually having met him. I'd say I'm at the half way point of your journey; studying as much as I can so that I may draw closer to God. All this to say, your video is really encouraging, and I can tell you spent a lot of time and thought making it. So, thank you for sharing your story and understanding in this. I hope you are well :) Have a wonderful day.

Sister of my Father! Who shares the same Spirit (: Seeing your video & hearing your testimony revitalizes my hope & faith in God! I have begun to think many such things & come to many divergent conclusions as I have both listened to the Spirit in pursuit of Truth. & in my church tradition I've begun to feel so isolated for the Spirit leads me where my church is unwilling to go 😅 But knowing I'm not alone & you're there reminds me of the God we both love & how His hand has been upon both of our journeys & modern culture to bring these new insights in this day & age, 2000 years after when we might've thought He stopped speaking. I love you sister, may the Father bless your creativity, & the Spirit lead you into new, beautiful, & edifying things for yourself & the people you know.

You just popped up in my recommendations and I am SO HAPPY. It's so hard to find fellow Christian artists, and your art style is so pretty. I love what you had to say in this video. I grew up in a Christian home too and it took me until a few years ago to really get into reading my Bible and building that relationship, so I found what you had to say really encouraging and relatable.

amen and i too struggle with this and this video gives me hope i wait patiently for my breakthrough (as much as i work for it. i know that's not how it works but i don't have any better words lol) but in the meantime i choose to stick with God bo matter what happens wether i hear his voice or not wether in doubting or not i choose him because of what he has done for me you are truly an experienced and one of the most devoted artist Christian I've seen may you have a blessed day

CHRISTIAN ARTISTS!! Awesome seeing more Christian content creators out here :)

For the longest time, I took held onto the idea that I'm a Christian, though never had a point I accepted Him into my life. I always went to church, born to two Christian parents, and as I got older I did believe and enjoy going to church myself. However for years, this always bothered me, not having a set point when I accepted Christ. A doubt would occasionally come to mind if I'm really saved, but id always ignore it because I believe the devil was trying to plant doubt. However December 2021, I was in bed when the thought suddenly came to mind out of nowhere, "am I really saved?" Unlike times past, this one hit like a truck and it stuck. The next couple weeks were in absolute terror, and then the next few months continued in fear and questioning. I believed there was a God, I believed Jesus was that God, and I believed you must accept Jesus in order to be saved; however I believed that I didn't believe, so I was going to hell XD made no sense, but it got the job done. Anyway, after this continuous struggle of constant overwhelming fear, I was at work one day and saying to myself, "I know there is a God, I know Jesus is that God, I see the evidence. Why can't I believe?" Then while all the thoughts were racing through my head, a little thought came to mind that should have gone unnoticed because it was so small, yet it stopped my thoughts in their tracks: "Just trust that you believe." So I said, "God, I believe I am saved." And that moment is when the constant terror and doubts started subside. Gradually, but still pretty quickly. Now I have built prayer and reading habits that I didn't have before, since I was seeking so desperately, and have memorized many verses whereas I never had any memorized before. I've since come to terms with remembering a time I was a little kid and had my first experience of fearing God. The thought of hell came to mind, and I was actually scared. But since I was a child, not yet too proud to go to my parents, I told my dad how scary it was. He then assured me I don't have to worry about it since I'm saved. That immediately calmed my fear. Of course, I know I'm not saved because my dad said so, but I know I'm saved because I did put my trust in God's promise at that moment. Thought I'd share 👍 (By the way, amazing video!)

I relate to this story so much. I had always known OF God, but it wasn't until only recently that I began getting TO know Him - on a personal level. And I still have moments where I feel disconnected and worried that my relationship with Him isn't strong enough, that my knowledge isn't deep enough. But then I realize those are the lies of enemy trying to make me doubt, and that I'm only experiencing them because I'm on the right track - I remember what it was like to be truly disconnected and there was no doubt, there was only self-righteous reassurance. The enemy only attacks when he's threatened, otherwise he'll keep you perfectly content so you aren't tempted to seek out Jesus. Thank you for making this video. Your art style is beautiful and, honestly, it's nice to see a story video like this told from a Christian perspective. I feel like Christ has been excluded from the art world for so long but I've recently seen that starting to change, and my goodness, is it ever encouraging. Thanks for sharing your story. ❤

Everything you were describing in the beginning resonates with exactly how I feel right now. I’ve grown up in a Christian household, going to church and youth group, going to a Christian school, etc. I see all these people around me who are so on fire for god and who know him and experience his presence in a way I just can’t, and I still don’t really know what to do about it. It’s certainly a learning process

I may not practice christianity anymore but its really nice to see someone enjoying the practice whole heartedly! I grew up in a toxic christian environment who used christianity as an excuse to hate people, but you sound like you reallt found joy in the practice :) im happy to see someone spreading kindness instead of hate

I don't usually comment on youtube videos, but I just really want to say thank you for this. I was raised in a very knowledge-based Christian home, my Dad comes from generations of Knowledge focused Christians, and he passed that to my siblings and I as we were raised. I became a Christian when I was thirteen, I turn eighteen soon, and for these past few years I've felt like such a bad Christian because I didn't feel that connection with God that my friends and family seemed to. I grew up in a knowledge based church that didn't really talk about the Spirit much, and when I was fifteen my church got a new pastor and very quickly transitioned into a deeply spiritual church, which was like a shock to my faith-system. All of a sudden, everyone around me was talking about what they were hearing from God and what He had told them that week, and I wasn't hearing anything. A friend of mine was also pressuring me to be baptized in the Holy Spirit (another thing I'd never really thought about), and I started to doubt that I was following God right. I felt like I was being pulled between Knowledge and Spirit, and all that did in the end was take me away from God. I never stopped believing, but I started to double-down on defending my faith and my stances to my siblings, who don't share my faith. I felt like if I just learned more, did more, listened to more Christian music, became more like my friends who seemed like 'perfect Christians' to me, then I would finally start to hear God speak to me, because for me even though I knew He was there, when I would talk to Him it always felt like I was just talking to air. This is all a really long-winded ADHD way of saying thank you for giving me something to think about, I know I have a long way to go, but I've been feeling really down on myself over this for a while and this video has helped to renew my spirit for the faith journey ahead of me. And it's made me feel less alone in this, so really, thank you, sister in Christ. I look forward to meeting you in Heaven one day:) p.s. your video reminded me of How to be Yours, by Chris Renzema, it's a great song that talks about not feeling able to connect with God. If you ever see this comment I'd definitely recommend it! I like the string version best:)

I've believed pretty much all my life growing up in a Christian family but I never actually followed for so long, I knew and heard and never cared to actually listen. almost a year ago I felt a tug on my heart out of nowhere and overnight I went from saying I believed and living wrong to putting everything into trying to live right and grow a connection with God. This video has helped a lot to put into words some of the things I struggled with and still do sometimes, Thank you. (Also I wanted to ask what the music in the background is, it's so peaceful haha)

Not long ago, I was in a situation like what you described, and what you say about Spirit and Truth working in tandem really resonated with me. I guess I'd always known that, but the way you put it gave me chills! Thank you, dear Sister!

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I'm beyond glad to be just one person among many saying that sentence. Growing up abroad is hard for one's sense of God; separated from your family in Christ, an island of your own sin and faith. Living in Shanghai, China in the 2000s felt like my world fought to keep God from my mind. When I came back, I finally found love - that same imbalance of spirit - and haltingly healed. I'm not all the way there, but now I know how to get close to Him and his true beauty: "But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:" (2 Thessalonians 2:13)

Thank you for this witness! I had a distant relationship with God for most of my life until recently and when I fully put my faith into his spirit's guidence, I've grown exponentially. I barely recognize the person I was at the beginning of last year, year after year now. Also the experience of God speaking, I've had it too! I still don't know what to make of it sometimes but not to reject it, but dwell on it. I have also felt more than heard approval or negation in prayer. I feel so comfortable talking to him now, I sometimes wonder if I'm too comfortable but thank you for the reminder that he is our blessed father, not a distant authoritative 'figure'. God HAS blessed you! The path is narrow and few find it. Please continue to do his work and I will try to do the same! May we meet in heaven, God is good!

We need to translate this video into all languages!!! I can help with Portuguese! Such an amazing message and job! Thank you for share your story so beautifully ❤ God bless you!!

This is awesome. Your drawings about spirit and truth were actually breathtaking and the message really helps me out. Thank you so much keep up the good work

I love the balance you strike between truth and spirit in this video. You know the truth and reference scripture to back it up, but then you take a step back and realize the spirit of what it says, the real meaning and real truth that goes beyond the words. Excellent video!

That’s such an awesome story! And I love the quote you said that, “The spirit doesn’t violate scripture but it violates your understanding of scripture.” So hopefully as I read my Bible more and more with an open mind, my understanding can align more with how the Holy Spirit wants. ☺️

This is soo crazy! My church recently had someone come in and teach how to do Inductive Bible Study! It really helps to read and interpret scripture correctly 👍🏾

Praise God for His goodness and grace! Praise God that He made Himself known to you, sister! My story is very similar, growing up knowing God is there, that He loves us, knowing what I should and shouldn't do, etc. But I didn't know Him; there was that same wall as you described, a wall that I had put up and kept up. But that moment when it goes from merely knowledge to understanding, the moment of being born again is something no one can fully describe because it's all Him and not us. Praise God for His mercy on us who do not deserve His goodness.

Love this. Thanks for sharing! Cool to see a christian artist using their art to really talk about Jesus and walking with Him! Very cool.

As another commenter mentioned i also didnt expect this style from a Christian channel. It brings me back to my middle school high school days growing up on the internet lol. Thats a compliment of course I think it looks great and heres hoping God will bless you and your channel!

Wow! It's like being born again! I heard that the greatest distance is the distance between your head and your heart. :)

You have honestly given me so much motivation to make videos like this. Blessed are those who hunger for God fir they shall be filled

This was beautiful, I am thankful the Lord showed me this. I can't remember the last time I heard someone speak this way. Thank you for this video.

I’m not religious myself but it’s inspiring to see people using their faith to spread love instead of hate, especially in this day and age.

I feel I needed this, not focusing enough on giving God my heart, and worshipping in spirit.

🙏🏻 amen 🙏🏻 I grew up homeschooled and raised Calvinist, and had to do a whole lot of unlearning and relearning ~ so this really hit home

God bless you, Sierra. This was wonderful. Also, your style is really cute! You're not the only one out there who knows that they've known God and Jesus for their whole life. I'm one of them, too. Keep it up. You're going to go very, very far.

This is spot on. Thanks for the reminder! This is a truth I knew, but didn’t know as well as I could.

As one of my favorite Christian songs go... "I have peace that makes no sense" I relate to the feeling of finally having peace after years of depression and self hatred. God is amazing.

this is so relatable im praying for you my sister in christ ✝

Holy moly! Everything about the dichotomy of spirit and truth... its INSANE how accurate it is!

Yes!! We need a balance so much!! The perfect balanace I have found is UPPERROOM and Jesus Image... Oh goodness!!! This is so much like me... I've been listening to that music you put in the background...❤❤❤ Yay I love connections like this 😊 The perfect music for this kind of grief i find in "I Will Exalt" and "Starlight" by Amanda Cook. So beautiful. ❤ I also thought of Extravagant and Stay by Seph Schuleter. Currently, God has been using Pieces by Steffany Gretzinger to change me! ❤🎉

Wow... thank you thank you thank you. You are an encouragement for a young Christian 25 yr old guy like me. I met Jesus at 19 and was on fire... 6 yrs later... it feels like Ive lost the sauce. Thank you for this.

You did really well with this video from the art and editing to conveying what many people go through in there path of following god, so thank you friend for sharing and probably helping a decent amount of people being seen and relating with the struggles of just going through the more emotional part of following Christ❤️

Thank you, I needed that. God works in mysterious ways, also some fairly straightforward ones. God be with you, for He has blessed you I belive.

This channel is one of those diamonds in the rough that you rarely come by but when you do, you love it. Thank you for making this video because I do also relate to your journey! Hope you have a wonderful day and hope Jesus and God helps you always! Amen ❤

Last night I prayed and prayed that God would remove the barrier or help me know how to climb over, this morning, this video comes in my feed, thank you!!

This is powerful. I’ve been trying to put into words what I’m currently going through, and you nailed it. It’s actually insane how much I related to this. God has been trying to connect to me spiritually, but I’ve been to busy looking at the “truth” searching up how to defend the faith etc. But this is definitely a wake up call. Thank you so much for putting the time and energy into this video. God bless!!!

I admire you for restating your RU-vid channel, I'm glad you did! With such an individual style along with unique images. Keep up the good work

God trying to tell me something this morning. My Bible app (which usually suggests prayer at 6: 30) suggested I pray as soon as I picked up my phone. Now this video.

I almost gave up on myself when it came to finding God after backsliding heavily and this video brought me back. Thank you so much.

This was so good Listened to it twice I'll be waiting for a "how to hear his voice video"

Honestly your experience was pretty identical to mine. I grew up Christian but never felt a connection. Id see others around me clearly having experiences but i never did. And that made me feel something was wrong with me. So when i was 15 i left the religion and became a Wiccan after finding out what it was and that my grandmother was one. And that started my 10 year long journey of learning about paganism and other religions, witchcraft and magick. Lately ive been feeling called back to Christainity but still not liking the religion from other experinces i had with churches involving family, i decided least i could do was study it. I was already learning about other paths and practices, why not relearn my old religion with fresh eyes. The experience has been... Mind blowing honestly. Stuff i never actually learned in Church bc they just read from the bible and never explained things. I still dont know how i feel about the religion but its worth studying.

Wow. Thank you for this video...I might have cried. I'm going through this right now. And I like your art style 😊

I can absolutely relate to your video! Last year I read the book "Knowledge of the Holy" by A.W. Tower and it changed my life. While other books gave me arguments for faith (still a good thing), this book talked about how we must approach God in faith. I'd realized that I built my faith on my knowledge of apologetics because it was the only thing I knew how to do. The whole time God was calling me into something much deeper without telling me to abandon any sense of reason like some charismatics do. Hebrews 6 talks about this when it talks about the anchor of our faith being God's character and his inability to lie. Hebrews 11 also talks about pleasing God through faith in his character. Earned my sub!

I pray for the purification and unification of the churches.

6:07 bro's speaking the hard truths!

This had me in tears, keep this up. The Spirit is going to reach a lot of proper through this

This is so cool. Where do I begin? First off, I've been learning a lot of this recently too, and it's only growing, Praise God. But...your art style, and the way you direct your video, it reminds me of me. In a very deep and personal way. See, I have drawn myself exactly how you draw yourself. Bug fairy wings, sensory antennae, even the hairstyle. I have a painting on my wall to prove it. I got into psychedelic drugs, and ran away to live in the forest for 2 years. When I was tired of the Cold, I begged "the universe" what to do next. God intervened, gave me a vision, and brought me home. (The local church paid for a 300$ ticket for me to get home!) I was eventually saved, and my life has been just...building up in an amazing way ever since. This video gives me a personal hope, that is hard not to share. I recently got done with being in a bout of doing my own will, and being in a relationship I knew wasn't ideal. Didn't work out, I always felt like something was off, and was blinded by disobedience. It was messy. She wasn't the one. Judging by what you're doing, it's a reminder...there's someone for me out there, who is built for me, designed to be with me, when that time comes. Jesus first. So grateful I came across this video. Last night I was dealing with more heartache towards her, but now I don't feel as bad. Thanks for existing and being obedient!

I could relate a lot to this video. Without the spirit, when I would read scripture, it sometimes puffs me up or makes me feel condemned. This really helped me clear my mind. Thank you, Sierra.

I am so happy i found your channel. I been searching for a christain art channel .So thank you and keep it up. 😊

Yo! I have been trying to explain this exact issue to a friend of mine going through the same process right now. Thank you for posting your story!

When I was but a wee gob, I was taught the word of God from an agnostic view, to nurture seeking reason and truth. My parents are both followers of Christ, but it was important to them that I draw my own conclusions and come to the Lord of my own volition. I love them dearly for this. In my life, I have oft felt intense feelings around me from nigh inexplainable sources, random bouts that I was being watched, loved, even protected or connected to everything around me. And protected I was, for when danger seemed to arise there was almost always some scenario that opened for me to escape, or something that occurred to prevent my harm. Harm was inflicted upon me at times, of course as I was not invulnerable, but in the times that it happened I feel it was either from my own hand, or something that could've been much worse than it really had been. I could never place it then, however. Now as I am older, I see now that it was the Lord along with me through every step, and even through the hardest times of my life He was there with me, teaching me what I needed to know in a way that only He could. I still have yet to see what His plans for me are, but I suppose it is not my place to know. In time, they will come to fruition. As for me, and my life... I suppose I should continue it with my own aspirations. May the Lord protect and guide thee.

So cool to see other Christian animators! God bless

I recently found your channel and clicked on this video, I really loved how you talked about the relationship between you and God. I'm a christian as well and I have been struggling with this same issue, I hope I can learn as you did, thank you. ❤

AMEN!!!! SPIRIT AND TRUTH WELL SAID. The way you described the differences in churches👍

As someone who is not religious and definitely has a lot of misinformation about religions especially Christianity this video was interesting to listen to.

This is amazing! Great teaching on the importance of spirit and truth. I grew up in a charismatic church and from an early age believed in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. But as I grew in my faith I learned that yes we need the Holy Spirit to move and we also need to be grounded in the Word of God. That’s when we can edify, encourage and prophecy in truth and love. Also an an artist I love finding another Christian artist! This is a powerful and fun way to share the Gospel and about great Jesus love! 🥹❤️

Honestly, I think I needed this. I worry so much about salvation, following rules, having enough faith, and all of that. Some of the issues are familiar to me. I've been through similar things, but I think this is what i needed today. Thank you for that. Also, thanks for introducing me to Orangery's music as well. You have great taste!

AMEN. Love this video, God Bless Started feeling better when I stopped being stressed about every single thing I did and when the scrupulosity went away.

This video is awesome and so reminiscent of my own testimony. Ive been looking for a good way to describe the dichotomy I noticed in teachings. I often use those caught up in the spirit are like a kite while those grounded in the word are just that, the ground. The kite is amazing and feels the full force of God's love and understanding however if it's not connected to the ground it flies around wildly with no rhyme or reason. The kite needs to be attached to the ground, meanwhile those who are the ground cannot see the things of above if they're always looking down and too focused on the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law. They need the kite to look up and connect themselves to the true love and understanding of god. We all need each other in the faith. A long message and I hope my point made sense but I seriously want to encourage you. That was an awesome video and I'm glad god brought your video to my feed. God bless.

I feel like this is the answer to my disconnection, because I had dreaded reading KJV and I was avoiding God's word every now and then, but still fully believing in the love He had for me. In other words, I was on the other side of the spectrum, I didn't use the scripture to argue because I just turned away and thought "Huh, love be with them even if they are misguided". And now I realised, I had also misguided myself by not taking the time to atleast read a verse each day, I never knew His voice or direct actions that Father wanted me to take, all I had was some answers to my prayers, and to be honest, I still can't hear His voice, but i'm willing to try my best. I want to balance the spirit I have with the truth found in His word, so now I will try. Because I will do anything to rid of my sins and let him fully into my heart and mind. Thank you sooo much, love from another artist (your style is adorable ❤), amen.

Not sure how I haven't commented on this yet, but this was an amazing video! I think it is really awesome how art can be used to share truth in a different way! I'm looking forward to your next installment!

You’ve inspired me to try making a video about my relationship with God as well!! It was really nice seeing a christian storytime video, and also really nice seeing that the comments aren’t hateful

This made me realized something and I really needed to hear this. Thank you for making this video! God is really working behind the scenes ❤

I loved this video! Rn I'm kinda at the same place..tho my parents never forced me to read Bible or pray every day. I picked up Bible on my own a year ago cause for me God was always there but I never knew why I believe what I believe. For the first time I truly felt I know God and I could really feel Him. I didn't read so I would prove anything but to understand Him. But then I stopped reading for whatever reason, got back to sin, felt more shame than ever etc. I also watched only apologetic videos for some time. At first it was fine but since I stopped reading and praying I got back to feeling far away from God so now I'm working on it again. It's true, God saw I was becoming prideful for understanding Him so He wanted to warn me. I haven't even wore my cross neckless for some time now because I felt unworthy..So yeah this video really hit close :) God bless you and all the best

"I started feeling peace." I have your same experience. I knew. I reasoned. But I had no spiritual relationship. In my 30's, I finally had a spiritual awakening, and I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit for the first time. And I finally felt peace, as you said.

This… was an unexpected but painfully relate able find. Thank you for this.
