I uploaded this on my channel earlier this year, but I decided to re-upload it in memory of a friend that suddenly and shockingly passed away. I reflected and prayed on the tragedy and the aftermath and decided to write this to reach others and let them know that if there’s anyone out there that has these dark struggles- that there’s hope. True hope that doesn’t fade or let you down. You’re not alone. Jesus didn’t come to Earth to not know how it feels to be human. God became His creation. He’s not a god that is far away, far from suffering and human pain. He entered into this mess, and He’s in your mess. No matter what you’ve done He loves and will forgive you. It’s not an empty victory, filled with endless desolate affirmations and a god that doesn’t know how to handle our mountain of sin or doesn't care about your pain. This is what true victory looks like. In many ways I wanted this to demonstrate the Old and New Covenants. God became His own creation to pay the just penalty for sin that we could never pay. He took our place, the righteous for the unrighteous. *This* is the atonement. I mean... wow. "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."- 2 Corinthians 5:21. I filmed this with three different cameras, over six hours of footage. The editing itself was a total rollercoaster, wild and unpredictable. To me, the video is just as much art as the painting itself. I hope you all enjoy it. I worked very hard on it.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I visited a Psychic... while claiming to be a Christian? This stuff isn’t just happening to the general public or new agers. I claimed to be Christian and went to church often. I never read my Bible and was completely dependent on experience and feelings to guide me. I didn’t think visiting a psychic reading was wrong at all. There are a LOT of people who claim to be Christians who believe this same thing. Is this wrong? Hopefully, through my story, I can relay my thoughts on this. My Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChri...

Jan 26, 2024 Nonbinary. Gender fluidity. Pronouns. Neopronouns. It's in our faces. The pressure to conform to the gender insanity is real. Our kids are feeling it too. In this video, I share a "vlog-enture" where I visit stores that have this propaganda shoved in our kids' faces. ?WATCH?: ● Watch full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvgEJ... ●Is it Harmful to Now Affirm Someone's Identity?: https://youtu.be/NVe1tIFg3EM ●Critical Race Theory, BLM, Equity, Inclusion, Whiteness, and Beyoncé With Monique Duson: https://youtu.be/ml3riId6Jvc ●People Who Identify as Cats, Dogs, Elves, Aliens, Mermaids... and More - My Thoughts: https://youtu.be/mi4AXOIIk14 ●Five Reasons why THIS Cause Me to Homeschool my Kids: https://youtu.be/G-RZ8h5sl_c ●Time To Get Rid of Your American Doll Girls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6IBr... ?RESOURCES?: https://www.amazon.com/shop/melissado... ?DONATE?: If you are led, consider donating: https://paypal.me/MelissaDougherty77 ?FOLLOW?: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChri...

This is the first video for our Train Them Up Series. In this video, you get to meet Jasmine, and we discuss what the Gospel is. We have outlined the topics, but mostly want to show how we would naturally be when talking together. This is a new experience for us, so what you see is what you get. We’re kinda rolling with this. Jasmine helped with the topics and putting together what she wanted to talk about. She’s very excited to do this. This whole idea came from when I posted months ago about how my children and I do ‘religion club’ on Sundays learning about spiritual topics. It was very simple but effective. People had been asking me to do something like this ever since. This series is made for kids to watch as well, so the editing will be different than my other videos, though if you don’t have kids, this can be very useful on how to make effective talking points with people in general. These are also shorter, and please keep in mind that these topics are purposefully simplified. The point of these videos is to exemplify how I personally talk to my kids about Jesus and spiritual things, not go into deep theological detail. If this goes well, we might do more. I really hope you enjoy this series, and I hope it can help you and your child as well. 0:00- Intro 03:20- Beginning of Content My Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChri...
