TRANSCRIPT
========================================
I was wrong I failed you and I'm sorry I've been focusing too much the attention on the negative parts of people the negativity coming in that is part of the show but it shouldn't be all of it so this video is going to read through a lot of the testimonies that I found a lot of them have been given to me verbally in person over the phone and some chats that I can't find but uh this is the ones that I was able to find little in a little bit here and uh I hope that it's encouraging to you if you wonder why do you keep doing the podcast David why do you keep it in the podcast it's because I keep on receiving texts like these I'll leave the name synonymous hey David I just wanted to reach out and apologize to you there have been times where I genuinely did not understand your mission or what you were doing with your podcast and there were times I laughed I'm genuinely sorry for that it was wrong of me to make assumptions and not trust Jesus in the process I do want tell you how encouraging the podcast was for me tonight I've been Doom scrolling a lot lately and finding it difficult to want to open my bible even though it was the quote unquote right thing to do but you just preaching on the live and speaking passionately about Jesus in the word got my mind going and now I've been studying a scripture for the last 10 minutes or so LOL so keep going keep preaching keep podcasting and I completely get the whole battle with suicidal or depression-like thoughts I know I'm not saying anything you haven't heard before but Satan really just wants you out of the fight because your ministry is impacting people in a positive Eternal way we know he can't take you at himself because you're Jesus is so it's all just a bluff I know some days those thoughts can be real loud but some good methods to help is genuinely talk to anyone literally anyone who cares about you about them doing something that makes you genuinely happen happy even for five minutes is also a great way to help combat that David played a harp you've got your guitar all this is a really long way of saying don't quit you're changing lives and spreading the good news and even if it seems small Jesus is more proud of you than you'll ever know to another guy who said to David Kain the one who baptized me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ thank you brother God bless you Brother David I don't another person Brother David I don't know why people were against you during the live but I'm very blessed by what you talk about during your lives I mean shouldn't we behave as Christians and not be toxic cuz I was just observing the live yesterday and there was so much toxicity going on so overall I'll continue to spread the positivity and my God bless you another person sometimes when I'm driving down the road and I didn't get a chance to catch your podcast live I'll listen to the recording and it greatly encourages and blesses me to keep on pressing the battle people need what you're saying Brother David another person I was going to kill myself tonight but I reached out to you beforehand because people listen to what you have to say and I figured I would listen to what you had to say to me in my situation before I went through with it by God's grace that man did not kill himself another person well said I watched your clarification episode from beginning to end and I didn't just like it I think you nailed it let the Lord use you David and don't apologize to those who make you feel bad remember what Jezebel tried to do to Elijah you've got a gift of honesty and you're brave name in nature if you're going to be a leader you've got to grow some thick skin I am a woman with a career and love to travel the world but I take my role as a wife and mother seriously finding the balance is often difficult but being a wife and mother superseded everything else for me as you know I just lost Anthony my husband and I have two teenage boys to provide for having a career career really helps in my case I think you're 100% correct when you talked about girls seeking validation through social media I also agree with your view on feminism creeping into the message I know our pastor would agree with you on that too another person I listen to your episode on Christmas part two and this is great you make a lot of good points I really appreciate the balance another person I had never thought of Christmas in that way until you did that episode The Lord showed me things I'd never seen before until the live I really feel that the Lord spoke to me through you thank you so much another person I listened to your live on Christmas and I loved it very much you put such a great balance to it and it was such a blessing another person a lot of people be judging you and saying all kinds of stuff I don't think that's right to be judging like they do because maybe you're actually helping people find their way to the Lord all I'm saying is I would hate to be one of those people and come face to face with God and hear him saying here David was helping lost sheep find their way find their way here he is trying to do me a service and here you are making fun of him judging him and saying all those things against him what have you done for the kingdom of God keep it up brother David another person I used to listen to podcasts with cussing and them but now I listen to your podcast and said and it spiritually encourages me another person it was amazing to listen to you with Brother Jack Duff brother Craig Boer and brother Trevor eeman talking about subjects which were very encouraging and it was awesome another person hey buddy I wanted to say that I'm sorry man when somebody starts something new I always tend to be skeptical just wanted to apologize I didn't talk bad about you a lot but I'm going to be honest buddy I did a little I am really sorry man I can see your heart now and I've never sensed any malicious motives or anything like that keep on doing what you're doing but I appreciate your heart behind it God bless another person hey man I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry now that I've met you in person you're actually a pretty chill dude and I respect you keep up the good Workman another person Brother David I really appreciate you saying saying this it echoes a realization I have been developing recently I spent a large portion of my adolescence constantly ashamed and worried I was not holy enough because I did not fit into my idea of what a Christian should be what helped me was moving to a different Church a much smaller one than the one grew up and and talking about my issues over with the pastor who listen without judgment going to my first youth camp at age 20 was also a major help in a nutshell I realized that I was sick of the fear of being judged all the time I needed to stop being motivated by fear and start living motivated by love this is helped me care less what people think of me and also helped me become less judgmental myself another person thank you so much for sending I really appreciate that I've been struggling with needing to know the why even though it doesn't change the outcome sorry I wasn't able to join the live you had I had to get up early for work and had to go to bed haha I watched to the next day though and it was really helpful to me another person I'm sorry you got that criticism unfortunately as I see you are aware a judgmental Spirit can get on people that have been conditioned to be required to have a certain response during special meetings and if you don't give that response like Pavlov's dog you don't fit into their psychological response box keep pressing on doing all you can to serve the Lord with your whole heart and be a blessing to the young people and all the people too another person hey David I just wanted to offer you some encouragement after tonight's live I was just telling my husband that I'm appreciative that you've created an outlet for message youth to have open discussions about difficult topics and the doctrines and to get us thinking about these subject subjects we need more of that and it genuinely makes me ashamed that some people are instead using that as a way to bully others it's disgusting I think you handle this whole situation between this person and this person well I find it hard to apologize to my family or my husband when I've done something wrong I can't imagine how you felt with all those people watching and I think you handled it well especially if we're still being In the Heat of the Moment I really appreciate the lives and you creating an outlet for open discussion even if there's disagreement we need more of that don't let immature Minds that can't understand the importance of that get you down and discourage you another person hey I know you don't know me but I wanted to apologize because I said some things that weren't nice about you to some friends and the truth is I don't even know you so I just wanted to say I'm sorry it was uncalled for God bless another person when I was talking about someone anonymously that was going through something hard it was a father of a daughter and he privately messaged me saying that was my daughter she was absolutely devastated and humiliated thank you for making this video it really meant a lot to her and made her feel good may the Lord richly bless you brother another person I understand more of what you deal with now when you put yourself out out there keep up what you're doing as well another person that was a good live enjoyed the questions on that one another person I agree that the best conversations are ones where each party is passionate about their stance another person just want to make sure you don't take any of that stuff to Heart whoever is writing all of that stuff needs a heart change the Holy Ghost and is probably so miserable themselves I know you have a good attitude but sometimes things will still hurt even though we know they're not right just wanted to encourage you and say that that you've had a lot of good things to say have a good night David another person I've really been enjoying your lives lately the topics in the guests you're bringing on keep up the good work the lives have been very inspiring and that's just the people I could find and there's countless more and I've been focusing too much on the negative and I'm sorry but those people who were encouraged that's why I continue doing this p cast because what would I say oh the critics were too critical the negativity was too hard so I gave up on encouraging people if any person can can introduce one example of any preacher or son or daughter of God that ever did anything for God that wasn't controversial in their day I will quit doing the live because you can't find one I'm a Son of God doing as God has commanded me to do and these people being encouraged makes makes it all worth it I love you all and I've been wrong again I was wrong I've been focusing too much on the negative aspect I need to focus more on the positive I love you all so very much
