I’m 36 and watch the YTHX broadcasts every year since they started. Used to get to drive the buses that transported them back and forth for a while (no longer work there). Have been involved since 2016. The messages that come out of this help so much with teaching even adults how to live for God. It’s beautiful and I plan to still keep on. Also, always good to hear Tim preach.
1:09:33 A moment where alot clicked in my head. A boy had just fainted right in front of me. He had bumped into my shoulder, fell onto the chairs behind me, and rolled onto the floor. A girl fell to his side crying and yelling his name. I was scared. Medics rushed to him, as I steped backwards. As I did, I heard a condescending voice say in my head 5 words. You could have caught him. I belived it. I always complained about my reaction time, and now it had come to haunt me. I thought it was God telling me I had messed up. Fast forward a few minutes. Tim is reading off names of us youth and saying that Jesus died for that person's sins. And then he said one name. Aaron He said my name. I imegiatly realized that it is ok that I messed up there because Jesus had already died for me. I realized that all of the sermons were connected. I was still when I understood all of this as I let God speak with me. I realized I was lashing myself with the stone when repeatedly saying "I could have caught him." I realized I was chosen to be there. Throughout the experience, I met some boys who I will probably never meet again. They were praying for each other. I joined in and once again realized I was chosen to be there. However, there is one sermon left, which I am addressing right now. I am telling my story of how I experienced God. It all seems surreal even writing about it. So I want to thank those who read to the end of this long youtube comment that most may overlook. Thank you to Elevation Church for putting me in the right place for this moment, and thanks to those who listened to my story. One last thing. Hey Ricky, I think that was your name, sorry for not catching you. I know that was a terrible experience for you to just pass out. I want you to know that God chose you, and he will keep chosing you.
Wow, this is beautiful. I remember hearing her screams and being in disbelief. I was so glad he ended up being okay, and I am so grateful that you had that special moment. That night was surreal. God bless you.
I was so scared when I heard it happen, I didn’t see anything but honestly the screams have been replaying in my head. I’ve had no idea if they’re okay so I just wanted to say thank you for sharing. The impact on me that night was so strong and intentional, I love seeing stories like yours and being reminded again and again that He really was in the room.
This was my first YouthX. I was a leader and it was my 14 year old niece first time going. It was trying an amazing witnessing all the encounters with God. I had an encounter as well. Never will i doubt the power of intercessory prayer and moving in the Holy Spirit!
