Many of your videos have had a positive effect on me, changed my mindset, and spoke strongly to me. But one video in particular helped me called, Understanding Purpose. You spoke about having a gift, talent, and purpose, and how people over complicate it. I think that’s what I was doing. I was under the impression that my purpose had to be a spectacular, over the top thing, when in actuality it’s relatively simple. I just had to work it out kind of backwards, like I do a lot of things.
I worked as a functional systems analyst for the government. My job was to take the end result that the customer wanted and figure out how to get the system to arrive at that result. Our purpose is to glorify God and bring people into His kingdom. I kind of got stuck on the gift and talent part and trying to differentiate between the two. Apparently, I am the kind of person complete strangers will come up to and tell their entire life story to. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable because it’s more than I want to know, but I feel like they need to get it out. So, I patiently listen and usually there is something in their story that I’ve had a similar experience to and can offer some understanding.
Then this gives me the opportunity to talk to them about Jesus and how He has saved my life in so many ways and how He can do the same for them. As I write this, I realize that all the time I was looking for my purpose thinking it had to be a big production but was already doing it. Had I not discovered your videos, I may have never figured it out. So, thank you. You are an amazing teacher, and you have helped lead a multitude of people to God’s kingdom and helped those of us already there to understand it better. God bless you!
I would like to share a testimony that you helped me see. When you talked about asking God for a godly spouse, you mentioned we have to get ourselves right first so when they do come, we will be prepared. That completely made me take a look at myself and dive deeper into my relationship with God first. Now, I pray and ask God to make me the woman He wants me to be and to prepare me for my future husband. When I began doing that, God revealed some things I needed to change. I was putting too much focus on finding the right man when I should have been focusing more on God and trusting Him. For that, I thank you!
Your videos help me keep my focus on Jesus and be encouraged when I wanted to stop and settle for where I am. I’ve learned it’s okay; God loves me and I matter. He took my place on Calvary. I don’t have to be discouraged about God being disappointed in my walk after I gave all I could to the failed relationships and marriage. God said this to me. Justin, you helped me with every video. I thank you and pray you receive all good things in this earth.
I was married twenty-four years with two kids and found out my husband had been having an affair for at least a year. I went through pure hell for three years while waiting on the divorce to finally be done. I felt so alone until I found individuals who had similar stories. I came across your TikTok and hearing your stories validated what I was feeling. I think telling our stories truly helps others to get through a hard time, and let’s them know that it does get better! You have helped me, and I’m sure many others.
