It's truly amazing to see so many positive comments for this sensitive video, Adina. Sharing these answers took courage for your young life, but it's truly a blessing to see how you're connecting with so many different people.... God bless you! Keep up the great work and we appreciate the feedback from you all here on UA-cam. (The few anomalies hardly count)
(No offense meant) but let me share with you my view of community/colony life. First of all where does that idea of community life even come from? Is it something Jesus taught his disciples? Mostly it comes from Acts 2 where the people sold what they had and started living in each other's houses and eating bread and having all things in common. The last command Jesus gave his 12 disciples was - go yea into all the world preaching the gospel to all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father the son and the holy Ghost. But those 12 disciples they disobeyed that command. Instead they did Acts 2. But that was never what God had intended. I know churches like the hutterites and many more groups read the Bible till Acts 2 then they close the Bible right there, but you have to read on to Acts 8 where God brought persecution by the hand of Saul. Saul basically "crashed the party" they were having in Acts 2 and scattered those living in each other's houses eating bread all across the continent and the more they were spread the more the Kingdom of God was preached exactly as Jesus had commanded them in Matt 28:19. Now I'm well aware how dangerous this idea is to the colony establishment and the hutterite financial empire. Plus its generally not allowed to think outside the box, so I'm not expecting much reception. I'm only sharing my view. Where the spirit of God is there is freedom 2Corinthians 3:17. But in a colony there are rules restrictions and chains, apostle Paul spoke about those chains in Galatians 2:4. My point is, how does colony life fit with Jesus's last command? In colony life 98% of a persons time goes into gathering up treasure on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt, (more money, more houses, more equipment ect) and because of that colonys have become super rich with earthly possessions. But spiritualy they are bankrupt. And by "spiritual bankrupt" I mean - where is the holy spirit Acts 1:5? Where are the signs and wonders that will follow Mark 16:17-18? Where is speaking in unknown tongues as a visable sign of the indwelling of the holy spirit Acts 10:46-46, 19:4-6? Where are the prophecies? Where are the gifts of the spirit 1Corinthians 12, 14? Where are the SIGNS that will accompany those who believe Mark 16:17? Where is the fivefold ministry Ephesians 4:11? Where is healing? Where are the revivals? Yes the evidence of spiritual bankruptcy is overwhelming. There is no manifestation of the spirit there is only man talking, man working and man showing off his talents, his wisdom and his level of head knowledge. But no spirituality whatsoever. God is a spirit and because of that you cannot worship God with your mind, they that worship him must worship him in "spirit" and in truth.
@@calebdyksterhuis6032 you should come and check us out, 😁 maybe we could give you a different perspective of what fellowship and community is all about. Sometimes it helps to see both sides of the coin.
@@calebdyksterhuis6032 you have some good points, we'll think about what you said, but you actually shared what was on your heart, all those who say "yeah good video", "good job" we really don't know what their true thoughts are about us. But if you truly believe what you do, why did you have to go and make another account? why don't you really want to be known Who You Are? What's the motive behind that? why be a hypocrite?
@@calebdyksterhuis6032 I believe the biblical model is living in community. But also being a light to the darkness and having our arms open and being a hospital to the broken. For what is coming community will be crucial.
I wish more Christians in the US would consider caring for each other in this way without it being deemed “cult-like.” What a beautiful concept and endeavor; to “build up the people of God” within a loving community and close knit family.
Yes! We need more communities like Fort Pitt Farms' community. Where I live on Oklahoma, we have a large Amish and Mennonite community. They are wonderful people and I often admire how they make it all work like a well oiled machine!
I was really moved by the honesty and conviction of your elders as they answered these questions. They truely live by the word and show it through their transparency.
Oh my goodness the explanation from your Elders of how the community works, who you accept and the purpose of building Godly character would make a wonderful community promotional video. I watched this with my nine year old and now she’s in my sewing room looking for fabric to make a head scarf. Keep up the Godly work of encouraging families to keep their eyes to Heaven!
I am very surprised, thrilled and happy that the members and leaders are supporting your video in such a open and positive way. This respect and the willingness to help educate us on the outside is a blessing for everyone.
The editing just takes me OUT, you are so very talented. Well done, from a fellow Canadian with absolutely nothing in common with you, I am still so grateful to learn about you and your community!
Hi, fellow Anabaptist here (conservative Mennonite)!! You explained the whole dating/courtship/marriage things perfectly. Poised and with the delicate nature it deserves, as well as correct in how we (conservative Anabaptists) view that whole topic! Well done, Adina! My prayer would be that people come to know Christ through knowing and watching your channel❤️
Young lady i think you did an excellent job answering questions about and with your community. I cant help but be happy for and a little jealous of your lovely community.
The more videos I watch of yours, the more respect I have for you and the Fort Pitt Colony. You are putting out some great content and really educating those who just want to know more and those who may have a preconceived notion of Hutterite life. Thank you
I am not super religious, but I do believe in being a good person, helping one another, community, teaching hard work and the benefits it brings, etc. I love how you all do it. What an amazing place to live and grow. It sounds like everyone is supportive on any front (within reason of course) and want everyone in the community to prosper! Thank you for sharing!
Now I understand why I quit going to my church. Being a one day a week Episcopalian and having no support or comfort the rest of the week is just not what I think religion and faith should be. Thank the gentleman who gave such an excellent explanation. I have learned about your beautiful faith.
Adina thank you for taking topics and questions that we often take for granted and don't think about thoroughly enough and going through them with alot of grace, humor, humility and wisdom. It makes one sit back and consider/appreciate the why behind the traditions and lifestyle.
You all have a good thing going on there, you're community is truly an inspiration. I seem to do everything alone while looking after a disabled mother and your community and videos encourage me, Thank you and God bless.
I just have to say, I love how the Elders explained someone coming into the Colony. You can definitely tell they seemed God upon deciding how to take on “outsiders”. I’m not interested in joining you all. But wow do I love watching and learning more about you. Thank you so much. Ps I don’t mean for you to take that personally about not joining you. I’m sorry if it came across that way. I feel I am living the way and where God has brought me. Edit to add. I really enjoyed getting to know more about you all. The lil lady at the end sure is a cutie. Thank you Aldi a for stepping out of your comfort zone for this series.
It's really encouraging to see other believers endeavor to live in accordance to the Bible. Whether in a community like yours or individually. I appreciate the honest answers y'all gave and I pray the Lord Jesus continue to bless you abundantly. 😊❤️
Wow, that final answer! Praise God, a group that found salvation through Jesus alone! There is nothing salvific about communal living, but choosing it as a lifestyle ad way to grow after trusting in Christ's finished work is beautiful!
Thank you and the community for answering what I thought were some tough questions. Thank you also for giving me a look into your day to day life. It was so wonderful for you to share! Your a amazing young woman and you have a lot of talent as a UA-camr. Wishing you all the best.❤️
It sounds wonderful. It’s so hard to keep kids from worldly things. I think children should be sheltered from the bad things of the world and just enjoy their childhood. It’s hard teaching them Christian beliefs when the world is teaching them the opposite
Adina, my parents left the hutterite community when i was 9 years old. Seeing your group of people living a christ centered life is so so refreshing and gives me so much hope. This world truly needs more likeminded people who see the benefits of community living. Keep up making your videos! You are very entertaining to watch :b
I appreciate how hard your community works to ensure that your community upholds and keeps the standards that have been set for all there and makes it very difficult for someone to come in and find their own place. Definitely work to keep what you all have. I really enjoyed this video.
I think you guys are doing life the way it is supposed to be done. Pray for the rest of us who don't have that culture to live in and cherish what you have built. I didn't know anything about these groups of people until I saw Heartland. I googled Hutterite's and realized I'd seen a few documentaries and found it fascinating. I watch some Mennonites on UA-cam, and Giselle Waldner popped up as a recommendation. I love her channel and then this one popped up as well. I have been reading my Bible more often because of channels like these. It's the next best thing to living the way I think would be better (seeing it on UA-cam). I live in Austin, Texas, and feel like I am in a rat race. I especially love the way you guys do dating/courtship. Even in a church, down here, the standards don't happen. It's more of a lifestyle (going to church) so it's sad. Well, enough of my thoughts. I am off to watch more UA-cam.
Another fellow Anabaptist.here. Really appreciate the way you answered these questions with honesty and clarity. Alina, you have a special gift and I am glad to see you using it in such a clear and productive way. The mixture of fun and seriousness is brilliant. God bless you as you continue to follow after him.
I live in Ontario, living a completely different life. Yet, I am so inspired by you, your community, and your faith! Thank you for sharing this with the world. Keep up the amazing videos!
Annnnd once again, Adina has made another superb video! 👏🏽👏🏽 Especially loved the way u presented/answered the dating/marriage question. That skit was 🤣🤣 and your sense of humour is 👍🏾👍🏾
Great Job Everyone!! Huge respects!! I dearly love all my friends in all the communities that associate with you. Always a encouragement when I go visit.
Your openness is refreshing, and your admission of imperfection speaks truth and life. Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it. I pray God will bless you and your community and that you will continue to grow in faith.
The process he talks about for joining is very wise. When he was listing out the problems encountered in the past, I was thinking…”Wow, how much my life would change right now if I began giving up some of those things…the things that keep me from serving wholeheartedly”. I’m encouraged to think that I don’t have to join your community to live that way, I can surrender my will to the Father right now and with His strength- do work that is good, pleasing, and lasting to love those around me…in Jesus name!
Great Job Adina. A lot of substance in this video.. Reminds me of what Jesus once said in, John 13:35 KJV By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
The world would be an amazing place if it held the morals and standards of God's Word as your community does💜 May God bless you and and thank you for sharing🤗💞💜
@@baddie1shoe So I’m not sure in what fantasy world you’re living in but show me a group of people without problems and I’ll show you a concrete floor that doesn’t crack.
@@baddie1shoe like I said. Not at all what you imagine. What concerns me is how you are concerned with what Adina is doing. She looks happy and content from my angle. If you don’t agree with her then quietly move on with your life. You’ll be happier that way.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing 🙏 learning so much! I live in california but was born in Mexico. Came to the USA when I was 7 years old I am currently 37 years
Adina I love to hear your elders speak. They have so much godly wisdom and all that they have said so far has resonated as biblically true and the word of God is the only standard His people should live by. You are very blessed to have so much support. I hope and pray in the Lord that He uses your channel to bring to Him the lost, the ones searching for Him. I also hope you continue to quote the Bible in your videos. 📜
I don’t know wht to say. I have been watching a lot of your videos. Sometimes I wish I was born in a community where the world doesn’t influence me(it’s terrible trying to live Godly when friends, jobs and family are also ungodly) I keep messing up in my walk. But this community looks beautiful and I hope and wish all the best to you all. Numbers 6:24-26(A blessing scripture)
Fort pit a is beacon on a hill to many Hutterite people. You stood up to the dead religion that's holding so many people in bondage, and let Christ reign as king among you!!
Adina , you did a fantastic job explaining things. I actually wondered about why you broke away. Not really knowing a lot about the Hutterites - I just sensed the people to be very God honoring and you all seem more vocal about your walk with Christ. Which surprised me. The last answer hit the nail on the head for me. It s not of works of righteousness but of the blood of Christ that your elders preach. What a blessing!!🙌🏼 I can see why you feel at peace where you are. I would love to hear your testimony of how you came to know Christ and how you came to be at peace living there. One last question: Do you (your community) take the Gospel to the lost?
I think your way of life is so beautiful. I wish something like it was nearby in Texas, but it just isn't. It made me cry. You really are blessed to have such a community. Our church closed and went crazy when that thing happened March 2020. We've been totally alone, no elders to ask and even no fellowship at all. But alone or not, Jesus is King, so we formed our own little home fellowship. I only say that to say this: what you have there is incredibly rare and precious, and I respect it so much. Thanks for the videos!!
Wow, it was with joy I heard your Dad's story of why your group were cut off from the larger Hutterite community. You are not saved because you are in the Fort Pitt Community but because you are born again! In Christ alone, for His glory. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing, I feel like it was difficult for you, never let anyone make you feel like what you believe, or how you live is wrong, or that anyone has the right to judge you or be negative. You are doing what you believe is right, and that's what matters.
Wow, such great answers! 👍🏻 I especially enjoyed the part about dating where you played those three roles - made me laugh ... 👏🏻😅 That's wonderful that your community watches out for you and helps you find the right spouse according to biblical principles! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. Definitely see fort Pitt in a whole new light! I hope to see what spring planting looks like for the community! 🥳
Hello Adina WOW Thank you so much for showing your real community to the world. I appreciate all the hard work you have put into making all the awesome videos I wasn't sure that there were community's that could run with out being an acult or unhealthy towards its women or having bad leadership I've been really impressed with your Dad and Elders in how they are running your community with genuine love and protection for you all and a willing Ness to improve things for the betterment of the community there are so many positives you guys are very lucky . Apart from these insightful videos do your leadership shear there amazing templates of faith and community for others to replicate knowing the bad leadership can fail a replication around the world . Do you at all or how do you as a community do out react in you area to save the lost for the Lord ? Thanks and hope to see more of how you do life 😊
It is awesome that your community participate with you to answer questions, get filmed ... and i love your energy, you are funny and interesting. I am christian too, from Quebec Canada, I do not live in a community and we are not part of any religion (my church) but it feels to me that we share similar values and understanding of the Bible ( dating, mariage, dress code, hair, make-up and all the good character values ... ) . God bless you. 🌺🌷🌸
Dear Adina, thank you to you and your family. I have enjoyed watching your videos. I run an intentional community for homeless or disabled vets which is also a farm. We are families and singles. Sometimes 15 people, sometimes 30. We are tiny but have experienced many similarities. I also believe in following the teachings of Jesus. There are so many things I cannot control but the things that I can model, I do. We are three years in and such a steep hill still to climb to reach any balance. My children are from 14 to 35 and the best thing I can say is the youngest has watched our coming together and struggles and when she reads books like Lord of the Flies in school and the teachers say that this is human nature, she stands up and says says “ no, we help each other in community... “. Please thank your Elders and your father for inspiration and good words. Even if we are not the same community, we experience similar problems and joys. It was good to hear their words and yours...thank you!
Thankyou for your comment! That is so interesting! First of all the ministry y'all have and second that you experience so much similarity to our community....do you live in US?
@@adinawalter5358 We do, in the Colorado mountains...we are tiny compared to many communities but experience some of the same issues and joys in your Q&A...however, we help people get back on their feet and work toward stability, so I haven’t had any long term plans but realize we do need things like a contract etc...
Your videos and content are truly a blessing, Adina🕊 you’re using your talents/creativity to spread a lot of salt and light ☀️ so refreshing and helping many🙏🏻 just wanna say thank you so much 😊 -your brother in Christ 🙏🏻 1 Corinthians 2:9 Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him 🕊☀️
As always, you are one of a kind and yeah, I was begging for that second verse! Keep cranking out the videos and Mr perfect will come along and sweep u off ur feet 🥰😎
That plan you all have to join the community is very wise. In my experience of Godly communities (no where at the level of the hutterites) it can be difficult to adjust to an extremely different way of life. Much love and prayers.
You have such a great community. I appreciate those leaders that helped answer some of those tough questions. It's great to be able to understand what it's like living there. I wish we had more places like this. I'd join! 😀
Still have half this video to watch but this video has been very insightful already. I can see how so much of your community has some great benefits and even though that full lifestyle is not for everyone, it is a great example on ways we can better incorporate the feeling and togetherness of community into our lives as the general public.
I really enjoy your videos and you are absolutely a scream... so funny ! Appreciate your explanations on how and why you live the way do.Also love your youth singing and would love to hear more on your videos.
It's truly amazing to see so many positive comments for this sensitive video, Adina. Sharing these answers took courage for your young life, but it's truly a blessing to see how you're connecting with so many different people.... God bless you!
Keep up the great work and we appreciate the feedback from you all here on UA-cam. (The few anomalies hardly count)

It was wonderful to hear the "heirarchy" speak so clearly about the Lord, the Gospel and His Kingdom. Beautiful.
I'm honestly not sure how I came upon your channel, but I'm definitely blessed by it! Thank you for being willing to educate others.

Your father has been trusted with so much wisdom, your family & community are very blessed to have his leadership!
Thank you! It is so nice to see your community is Christ centered!❤

I am loving your videos Adina! You answer questions wonderfully! No judgement, just information!
Refreshing to hear such a biblically-based view on courtship & marriage!
Great video again!
Your father is a very wise, dynamic & committed gentleman. All the best to you.

I'm glad you went out of your comfort zone to answer these questions. Made me both laugh and cry! Thank you from a sister in the Lord
You are a delight. From one Jesus girl to another, I am so proud of you. You clearly are using your gifts in His name.

Thanks for the laughs. The dating dress up scene was hysterical! 😅
Wow, amazing wisdom in your elders. Just amazing.
Very Good Adina! Loved the Elder and member input on these tougher questions. Rueban Vetter hit them right on.
You’ve done a fantastic job with the photography Adina.

Very good video Adina. You are a joy to watch and speak with such maturity. To God be the glory.
Annnnd once again, Adina has made another superb video! 👏🏽👏🏽 Especially loved the way u presented/answered the dating/marriage question.
That skit was 🤣🤣 and your sense of humour is 👍🏾👍🏾
Warmed my heart, your answers and hearing the elders answers as well. Kina sad you won’t make habit of this type of video. Tehe. Bless youuuu:))
Great video. Some very tough questions you faced and answered very well.
Elders did a great job with them too without offending anyone.
Great Job Everyone!! Huge respects!! I dearly love all my friends in all the communities that associate with you. Always a encouragement when I go visit.
Very interesting. The asking to date skit is hilarious🤣 Some real wise thinking here. 👍🏼
You are such a talented videographer/ editor. It’s the best Q&A I’ve seen. You have a new subscriber here from Manchester UK!
me too...from near Warsaw, Poland
Your testimony I hope encourages other young people of various religions to embrace their love of Christ. Thank you for sharing
Your openness is refreshing, and your admission of imperfection speaks truth and life. Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it. I pray God will bless you and your community and that you will continue to grow in faith.
The process he talks about for joining is very wise. When he was listing out the problems encountered in the past, I was thinking…”Wow, how much my life would change right now if I began giving up some of those things…the things that keep me from serving wholeheartedly”. I’m encouraged to think that I don’t have to join your community to live that way, I can surrender my will to the Father right now and with His strength- do work that is good, pleasing, and lasting to love those around me…in Jesus name!
This is so very refreshing 💕. I truly appreciate you having the courage to share your answers to some very difficult questions 😊
Y'all are way too nice lol. You don't have to apologize for your way of life or beliefs. Thanks for the look into your community.
Your father is very well spoken. He handled some questions with clarity and carefulness
Yes, so eloquent and knowledgeable. Whew, wouldn't we like our politicians to speak so well and have such wisdom!!
Good job! You did it again. I loved the input from everyone👍🏻
Great Job Adina.
A lot of substance in this video..
Reminds me of what Jesus once said in,
John 13:35 KJV
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
That is one big hammer you used to hit the nail right on the head! 🔨🔨 👌
Thank you to you and your community for sharing so much. Xx
The world would be an amazing place if it held the morals and standards of God's Word as your community does💜 May God bless you and and thank you for sharing🤗💞💜
Thankyou!
@@baddie1shoe So I’m not sure in what fantasy world you’re living in but show me a group of people without problems and I’ll show you a concrete floor that doesn’t crack.
@@baddie1shoe I actually didn't ask you lol but I do agree with Terry🤗
@@baddie1shoe Have you been to Adina’s place? I have, and it’s not like you describe. Have a nice day.
@@baddie1shoe like I said. Not at all what you imagine. What concerns me is how you are concerned with what Adina is doing. She looks happy and content from my angle. If you don’t agree with her then quietly move on with your life. You’ll be happier that way.
I some how stumble on this Vblog. I love your videos and answering questions.
Am blessed. Greetings from PNG 🇵🇬
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing 🙏 learning so much! I live in california but was born in Mexico. Came to the USA when I was 7 years old I am currently 37 years
Well done! So many would love in a community like yours but so few would be able to make the sacrifices of self for the glory of God.
Adina, I am a Roman Catholic, and I appreciate your ministry. You are a very courageous young woman and I love the support of your Elders.
Thank-you😊 I appreciate your comment😊
Very well done Adina. Thank you for the information about your community. Blessings from Owen Sound, Ontario
Adina I love to hear your elders speak. They have so much godly wisdom and all that they have said so far has resonated as biblically true and the word of God is the only standard His people should live by. You are very blessed to have so much support. I hope and pray in the Lord that He uses your channel to bring to Him the lost, the ones searching for Him. I also hope you continue to quote the Bible in your videos. 📜
Miracle and paradise is your community.
This was a master piece
I don’t know wht to say. I have been watching a lot of your videos. Sometimes I wish I was born in a community where the world doesn’t influence me(it’s terrible trying to live Godly when friends, jobs and family are also ungodly) I keep messing up in my walk. But this community looks beautiful and I hope and wish all the best to you all. Numbers 6:24-26(A blessing scripture)
Thank-you so much, yeah I can only imagine. 🙏
The people in this particular community just seem like beautiful souls and that’s what this horrible world needs more of 😌🙏
I love your sense of humor wittyness cheeky adorable gal, you did an awesome jooob on this tysm Adina your a natural at this❤️🙏😚🌻
Fort pit a is beacon on a hill to many Hutterite people. You stood up to the dead religion that's holding so many people in bondage, and let Christ reign as king among you!!
Adina , you did a fantastic job explaining things. I actually wondered about why you broke away. Not really knowing a lot about the Hutterites - I just sensed the people to be very God honoring and you all seem more vocal about your walk with Christ. Which surprised me. The last answer hit the nail on the head for me. It s not of works of righteousness but of the blood of Christ that your elders preach. What a blessing!!🙌🏼 I can see why you feel at peace where you are. I would love to hear your testimony of how you came to know Christ and how you came to be at peace living there. One last question: Do you (your community) take the Gospel to the lost?
Thankyou! We try to spread the gospel to our own people, yes
I think your way of life is so beautiful. I wish something like it was nearby in Texas, but it just isn't. It made me cry. You really are blessed to have such a community. Our church closed and went crazy when that thing happened March 2020. We've been totally alone, no elders to ask and even no fellowship at all. But alone or not, Jesus is King, so we formed our own little home fellowship. I only say that to say this: what you have there is incredibly rare and precious, and I respect it so much. Thanks for the videos!!
Good job Adina may the Lord use you mightily
Very excellent community structure and balance. It’s proves the vitality and lifespan. The sense of being as one together.
Wow, it was with joy I heard your Dad's story of why your group were cut off from the larger Hutterite community. You are not saved because you are in the Fort Pitt Community but because you are born again! In Christ alone, for His glory. Keep up the good work!
I wish I could like this video 100 more times. I cannot express my appreciation enough.
Adina I was so impressed with your acting in the skit! You could be an actress, you seem to have a talent for comedy in particular!
I appreciated the honest answers, your dad did a good job answering those questions
The first part made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you God for planting me in a hutterite community.
Bless you another great one!🙏
You did a great job and I agree with you.
thankyou :))
Thank you for sharing, I feel like it was difficult for you, never let anyone make you feel like what you believe, or how you live is wrong, or that anyone has the right to judge you or be negative. You are doing what you believe is right, and that's what matters.
Thankyou😇 I appreciate that
Wow, such great answers! 👍🏻
I especially enjoyed the part about dating where you played those three roles - made me laugh ... 👏🏻😅 That's wonderful that your community watches out for you and helps you find the right spouse according to biblical principles! 👍🏻
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. Definitely see fort Pitt in a whole new light!
I hope to see what spring planting looks like for the community! 🥳
Hello Adina WOW Thank you so much for showing your real community to the world. I appreciate all the hard work you have put into making all the awesome videos
I wasn't sure that there were community's that could run with out being an acult or unhealthy towards its women or having bad leadership
I've been really impressed with your Dad and Elders in how they are running your community with genuine love and protection for you all and a willing Ness to improve things for the betterment of the community there are so many positives you guys are very lucky .
Apart from these insightful videos do your leadership shear there amazing templates of faith and community for others to replicate knowing the bad leadership can fail a replication around the world .
Do you at all or how do you as a community do out react in you area to save the lost for the Lord ?
Thanks and hope to see more of how you do life 😊
It is awesome that your community participate with you to answer questions, get filmed ... and i love your energy, you are funny and interesting. I am christian too, from Quebec Canada, I do not live in a community and we are not part of any religion (my church) but it feels to me that we share similar values and understanding of the Bible ( dating, mariage, dress code, hair, make-up and all the good character values ... ) . God bless you. 🌺🌷🌸
Dear Adina, thank you to you and your family. I have enjoyed watching your videos. I run an intentional community for homeless or disabled vets which is also a farm. We are families and singles. Sometimes 15 people, sometimes 30. We are tiny but have experienced many similarities. I also believe in following the teachings of Jesus. There are so many things I cannot control but the things that I can model, I do. We are three years in and such a steep hill still to climb to reach any balance. My children are from 14 to 35 and the best thing I can say is the youngest has watched our coming together and struggles and when she reads books like Lord of the Flies in school and the teachers say that this is human nature, she stands up and says says “ no, we help each other in community... “. Please thank your Elders and your father for inspiration and good words. Even if we are not the same community, we experience similar problems and joys. It was good to hear their words and yours...thank you!
Thankyou for your comment! That is so interesting! First of all the ministry y'all have and second that you experience so much similarity to our community....do you live in US?
@@adinawalter5358 We do, in the Colorado mountains...we are tiny compared to many communities but experience some of the same issues and joys in your Q&A...however, we help people get back on their feet and work toward stability, so I haven’t had any long term plans but realize we do need things like a contract etc...
Your videos and content are truly a blessing, Adina🕊 you’re using your talents/creativity to spread a lot of salt and light ☀️ so refreshing and helping many🙏🏻 just wanna say thank you so much 😊 -your brother in Christ 🙏🏻
1 Corinthians 2:9
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him 🕊☀️
As always, you are one of a kind and yeah, I was begging for that second verse! Keep cranking out the videos and Mr perfect will come along and sweep u off ur feet 🥰😎
So enjoyed this! Thank you for making these videos and also thank you to your father and your community for their input xxx
Okay, that skit was low key hilarious.. Good job.
That plan you all have to join the community is very wise. In my experience of Godly communities (no where at the level of the hutterites) it can be difficult to adjust to an extremely different way of life. Much love and prayers.
You have such a great community. I appreciate those leaders that helped answer some of those tough questions. It's great to be able to understand what it's like living there. I wish we had more places like this. I'd join! 😀
Thanks Adina. Loved the Q&A
Still have half this video to watch but this video has been very insightful already. I can see how so much of your community has some great benefits and even though that full lifestyle is not for everyone, it is a great example on ways we can better incorporate the feeling and togetherness of community into our lives as the general public.
Super sweet ending , great addition Adina
I really enjoy your videos and you are absolutely a scream... so funny ! Appreciate your explanations on how and why you live the way do.Also love your youth singing and would love to hear more on your videos.
Great video!
I love your community. I'm Messianic and I wish so much that we had communities like this.
