My daughter and one of her friends worked in the nursery at his church. I attended there one Sunday as well. I really enjoyed the service! I had been sick and my daughter told Pastor Davey that. He came to our home with a bag of food from Maggianos!! He was so kind! He even asked if I needed help around the house with anything! I was absolutely heartbroken and devastated when I saw this story about his wife!!! I’m so glad he has found love and forgiveness!! May the Lord continue to bless you, your family and your church!! 🙏🏽❤️
@@simplylethul You can ask the same question, if there is God, then why is there suffering and malice in this world? Because we live in a fallen world, and as a result, such things have happened. Sin is the veil between us and God. To break through the vail, we must have Faith.
This man has gone through so much, and yet speaks beautifully about his acceptance of what has happened, as well as forgiving, and his new life. Blessings on you, Pastor Blackburn, and your family and in remembrance of your first wife.
Davey started out at our church when he was younger and came back a few weeks ago to share his story and preach. It was a sad story but he showed me that no matter what happens, jesus is always with me.
She looks like she could truly light up a room! She has the light of Christ so fully in her countenance that she glows! I’m so sorry for your family’s loss! Lots of prayers!
It has been so many years but when I hear your story, I still mourn for my sister. My brother-in-law was a pastor too. At 10:00 am while he was at work, an intruder broke into my sister''s home where she and 2 of her 3 young children were starting their day. My sister was raped and strangled to death. There was no reason. Her babies were unharmed physically. I shove it out of my mind. Why? She was so giving and loving. WHY?! Her daughter, my niece, died last year 30+ years after her mom. She doesn't remember her mom, my sweet sister. How do we forgive? I still miss my sister. Thank God I believe, but it is still so hard...like it was yesterday. My tears will never stop. The killer was never found.
God knows who he is! He is living a miserable life! My father's killer hasn't been tried after 42 years( not enough evidence). All I can say is God knows! Condolences to your family! God bless!
I'm so very very sorry for what happen to your sister ,to her children and husband and to U all for the loss of her and the horror that happen to her and now ,to her daughter ,I can only imagine the horror of it all. I watch a lot of true crime and it's terrible to see all the evil in the world but I still believe and I always will ,sometimes ,that's all We have .Many blessings to U and yours.
True, but if Amanda had decided to get an abortion, let's say, then the physician performing the abortion would have profited financially and been legally free to go home afterward.
They should have been charged with both murders & a crime against the toddler who must’ve seen his mother’s murder. Thank God they didn’t murder him too.
Your life can get caught up in these details when God makes his judgments. Thankful that this young Pastor did not allow the enemy to take from his faith.
You wanna know why they were charged with only bodily harm? It’s because of their skin color. Our justice system is corrupt and they’re letting people of color get away with stuff like this thanks to Joe and Harris . Heaven forbid a man of color gets charged with a crime these days. Absolutely sad
To be honest their length of incarceration is likely longer than any judgement would be made in Australia. I really hope they find personal healing and faith in Jesus. It's really saddening to think of the traumas they must have experienced to become so bitter, angry and hurtful towards others. My heart hopes they find and experience the love of Jesus within their own lifetime.
This is an incredible story. Forgiveness and continuing a life that is worth living. Pastor Blackburn has been through so much and still manages to use Jesus to find positives.
It's baffling how 3 men can break in, then murder an innocent, loving, kind, pregnant woman.....! How could yu pull a trigger at such a person.... Heartbreaking.
@@Cowboy_up429but to murder her? Even if she startled them. She wasn’t the target and she’s not intimidating. I would’ve definitely just hid and not confronted them but this is just so heartbreaking. I still can’t understand that one part though
I love that phrase learning how to suffer well. Because it's a reality that we're all going to suffer.But it's how we come through that suffering that matters.
This story gives me chills...it's so sad,I'm sorry this happened to you and sorry for y'all's loss...I'm happy you have found love again I'm sure your beautiful Angel wouldn't want you to live in darkness, now you have found love again makes it more beautiful ❤️ your son has a mother 😇 😢 ❤
The story of how he found his dying wife is absolutely horrifying. 28 is so young. I'm so sad thinking of how this crime had to have devastated this family, this congregation, this community. Such heartbreak. It's a hopeful and beautiful thing though to see a dad finding a healthy happy life for himself and his child.
@@robbieogle8622 I'm sure it's because you don't like that he's religious. It's been years since this happened, everyone handles grief differently.

His daughter did not shed a single tear when he died the way her siblings and wife did (he died in a car accident), and she felt bad about it. I know she loves him, but again, everyone handles grief differently.
@@jancabe72 yes, upstairs in his crib. No harm to him. Probably was asleep. She begged for her life telling them she was pregnant. This was in the initial reports years ago.

I remember this story. Thank you for your testimony, grateful for your healing, living & all the Father has for you and your family, NOTHING WASTED! ❤🙏🏽
His neighbors reported emails being sent (prior to this murder) that all should be diligent in locking doors, etc due to the high crime rate in this area.
This was deep and unimaginable to say the least. I kind of want to read his book because I can relate to what he's going through. Very sorry for what has happened to him and his son.
My dad told me once, ""trust no one, I'm your father and you can't even trust me"". I said, "dad, you're my father, and I will always trust you". He answered, "" my dear daughter, thank you for them words"".
You think Jesus would want you to call a man he was tortured for and died for a waste of oxygen? So Jesus thinks he's a waste of oxygen? You're word represent Christ's character.
@@rachael943 they remind me of each other he should have locked his front door. He should have called 911 the minute he got home he should have explained why he had sat in driveway for an hour he has a lot of explaining to do … Davey is a snake
reminds me of the very very brutal murder of Samantha Jaume on Independence Day 2001 in New Orleans. How sad. I hope all such murderers would receive the death penalty. Life in prison is too good for these folks.
@@alihoussney7870tax payers shouldn't have to pay for these people to continue their lives, have family visits, letters, phone calls, medical care etc.....the victim and their families don't get that. This dad doesn't get to hold his baby that was taken or see him/her grow up.....
Oh bro, I am very sorry for your loss 😢. That is my worse nightmare to come home to loved ones m*rdered. I wish the best for you and your child in recovery 🙏
This message resonated as my best Christian gf had an affair with my husband and then turned my children away from me for 18 years ( only one texts me) he married her in 2004 My whole life turned upside down my beautiful family ripped apart and I’ve hated her carol for doing this I’m praying for reconciliation as she stole my husband and my family The pain has been deep and shocking but gods been with me every step,of the way
My name is Zach Curtis and I'm 29 years old almost and I have Autism and so sorry to Pastor Davey and what he went through and RIP Amanda and praying that the three guys and young men that murdered your pregnant wife back in November of 2015 will turn there lives around and agree 100% with what he said may the lord bless you and your family and church ✝✝✝✝🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
this is just my opinion after watching this video. He’s talking about his wife like he’s on the outside of the story, rather than the spouse. I wonder if he had anything to do with it; he’s just too calm and I don’t see an ounce of emotion. His spouse was murdered and yet he can tell this story emotionless, unbelievable. In my own opinion, there is a crack somewhere in this egg! It was definitely missed!
It has taken a few years to be able to step outside his story and a lot of councelling and help. The perpetrators were aprehended. This incident was in 2015, 9 years ago.
Going forward in life is what must be done no matter what you have lost or who you have lost. Living your own life to the full does not mean your grief has ended. That never ends.
THIS IS HEARTBREAKING, . . I FEEL YOUR PAIN, PASTOR. . .you have a child that will HELP YOU survive. . .AMANDA & YOUR UNBORN. . . REST IN PEACE. . . GOD IS WITH YOU
Throughout the video, there was no mentioned of how God's grace helped him get through this difficult time of his life. But rather, the pastor used ~ I did this, I began to do this ~ rather than by God's grace, God healed me.
❤I can hardly believe that this story is appearing in Inside Edition. A beautiful young wife n mother. Her life was robbed. She was with child😢 The level of forgiveness this pastor has shown is from above. He has turned toward Him n reaped blessing 🙌🙏All praise to Yehovah through His Son. Jesus.
Amanda was a beautiful person all the way around .This made me tear up liatening to Davey .. I remember gking thru a difficult time in life back then , appearing at her service and my anxiety and depression was taken away the entire time we were there in that huge room... Davey is so right ..Amandas legacy lives on and she will never be forgotten . For 'Nothing Is Wasted '
Oh my goodness,what a twist of fate ,who could have imagined that this woman wouid be connected to him in such a tragic way,my mother used to say “God works in mysterious ways ,his wonders to perform “God knew when and where these two would ultimately meet and find a happy and new life together,just a really lovely story .
Followed this case from the beginning. Nothing this husband did or said made sense. He was simulating firing a gun on stage during a sermon. He never seemed overly concerned. Weird.
The Resonate Church dissolved back in 2019 that Pastor Davey Blackburn was at. I remember this story back in 2015, the couple had a starter home and the area was changing geographically in Indianapolis. It is always smart to have a home alarm system installed and a plan in place in the event that your home is invaded or broken into. I am happy to see that Davey was able to move forward in life, Amanda would have wanted that for Davey and Weston.
@pamelasmith6221 agreed. Less than 2 years later he's already married? That man had his eyes on that woman while his wife was alive and carrying his child. I would not be a bit surprised if she was at the gym that day. (He 'met' her at the gym and he'd seen her around his church) He rubs me the wrong way.
Please don’t judge so quickly..it’s a fact that men who have lost their wives and were in a good marriage..tend to remarry sooner than later.. and he also had a motherless toddler…knowing the police always investigate the husband vigorously should put your mind at ease…sometimes bad things happen to good people..that’s life
Sure He did. Read your Bible. If you don't believe God is absolutely sovereign over ALL things you don't believe in the God who has revealed Himself to us in Scripture.
You have misunderstood. The One True Almighty does not sleep. Shaitain has been allowed by The ALMIGHTY to misguide people. It is obvious that if you lose that spiritual connection that governs right and wrong. Do a wrong action and tell me that within your lifetime you dont admit your wrong, if you dont then your next life will address your deeds good and bad.
Excellent job on a heartbreaking but beautiful story. Forgiveness is hard, but eventually you realize that you actually do forgive. The problem with that is finding out that that person you have forgiven doesn’t care. That the person is still rotten and throws your forgiveness back in your face. It’s constant, to forgive. For me anyways. I’m glad that he is having a great life, and that he is sharing his late wife’s story. Definitely a book I want to read.
I really hope that all avenues were investigated in this case.....ALL people close to the victim thoroughly looked at. Call me cynical but there is zero way i would be thinking about exploring a relationship with anyone new nevermind dating less than a year after my wife and unborn childs murder only to marry someone exactly 2 years later.
The 3 individuals saw him leave at 6 am and he didn't lock the door and they came in and murdered her but didn't harm the little boy sleeping in the other room. There is no mystery. I remember it well. It was on my side of town and there was undeniable proof of the perpetrators.
I don't know, but I'm just getting a bad vibe about this story, I could be wrong but the world in which we live in, is so corrupt and insane anything is possible, nothing is what it seems...
@@estherjoseph5972 You can believe the police department looked at all avenues when they were investigating this case. Even more so because he is a Pastor of the local church.
As I was watching this after a terrible day, I heard that Amanda had left this world on November 11th, the same day we were blessed with our first grandchild Lily. I am so sorry for this little family’s loss. I have been reminded to be always thankful.
The state needed the two who took pleas to testify against the third guy to get a conviction for murder, and he was the one who actually killed her, the other two weren't there at the time, so it kinda makes sense.
One of them was tried and found guilty of murder, sentenced to 86 years. He was probably the shooter. That's common for the other people to have lesser charges or a plea deal.
@@trafficispeople5750yes it was the first guy Larry...What he did was unspeakable. Amanda was a really good hearted person. Their Son was upstairs asleep in his crib. Breaks my heart they did this to her ..She was truly a follower of Jesus Christ
This is not a conspiracy theory channel!!! Geesus, the story tells you exactly what happened!! CNN: 11-23-2015..(this home invasion was before the Blackburns which was the 3rd incident in a crime spree) At some point during that robbery, the men discovered they were on surveillance video and disconnected the camera, the documents say. Taylor allegedly wanted to kill the occupant because he he had been seen on camera, but Watson and the third man convinced him to leave. They took off in a stolen car and drove to another home, where they stole televisions, a laptop, the documents say. The three men then turned their attention to a third target - the Blackburn’s home.
@happyclassygirly - I don't have trust issues, and I agree with you. He raves at us using all the 'right concepts' a bit too smooth & in a calculated way. Doesn't feel genuine. He might just be a cold fish type; she must have been super patient type wife to endure him.
this guy has like no emotions when he’s talking about his wife who got murdered… he’s just here to promote his new book to make money. major red flag, yikes 🚩 🚩
@@Prosperity85 Yup. A real smooth talker. Strange that things like this just happen to happen when the husband has left the house. I recall Chris Coleman left the house early to go to the gym too, although in his case, he was the perpetrator.

I remember this story. Thank you for your testimony, grateful for your healing, living & all the Father has for you and your family, NOTHING WASTED! ❤🙏🏽
Not locking doors in Indianapolis is pure insanity :(
Right. Because no intruder has ever busted a lock or broken a window to get inside someone's home. Jeeeesus.
His neighbors reported emails being sent (prior to this murder) that all should be diligent in locking doors, etc due to the high crime rate in this area.
Bless this Family
A horrific but amazing story where the spouse DIDN’T do it!
"When we wrestle with God, thats when we find the true nature & character of God" ❤ So very true!!!
This was deep and unimaginable to say the least. I kind of want to read his book because I can relate to what he's going through. Very sorry for what has happened to him and his son.
My dad told me once, ""trust no one, I'm your father and you can't even trust me"". I said, "dad, you're my father, and I will always trust you". He answered, "" my dear daughter, thank you for them words"".
I'm so sorry. No words. He knows. 🙏🏻
Rest in peace to Amanda and her baby. Such a senseless thing to happen to them.
What a precious family .So sorry for such a tragic loss ❤😢
The difference between this pastor-husband and JP Miller (Mica) is night and day. This is a true man of God. JP Miller is a waste of oxygen.
You think Jesus would want you to call a man he was tortured for and died for a waste of oxygen? So Jesus thinks he's a waste of oxygen? You're word represent Christ's character.

reminds me of the very very brutal murder of Samantha Jaume on Independence Day 2001 in New Orleans. How sad. I hope all such murderers would receive the death penalty. Life in prison is too good for these folks.
A life behind bars without parole is worse than death. They will just be seeing grey for the rest of their life's instead of being dead.

Nah thats just you man, nothing strange at all. No need to overthink on a genuine story of tragedy and forgiveness.
I agree never heard this story before but he speaks about his wife murder like someone who’s talking about what he eat last night
@@happyclassygirlyYou women just want to blame a innocent man for something
@jo.mountainloveagree and I hope she not next😱
this is just my opinion after watching this video. He’s talking about his wife like he’s on the outside of the story, rather than the spouse. I wonder if he had anything to do with it; he’s just too calm and I don’t see an ounce of emotion. His spouse was murdered and yet he can tell this story emotionless, unbelievable. In my own opinion, there is a crack somewhere in this egg! It was definitely missed!
Fully agree
It has taken a few years to be able to step outside his story and a lot of councelling and help. The perpetrators were aprehended. This incident was in 2015, 9 years ago.
You realize it’s been almost a decade?…🤔
Going forward in life is what must be done no matter what you have lost or who you have lost. Living your own life to the full does not mean your grief has ended. That never ends.
@@sdh4557but he’s ALWAYS been just like this when he talks about it. Even when it first happened
What a great testimony. I later learned in life for giving sets you free of pain bitterness.
This father is a hero. Fly with the angels Amanda.
God is the hero, he made a way for forgiveness when there seemed to be no way
He seems rather cool & motor mouthy. I hope he's on the level.
THIS IS HEARTBREAKING, . . I FEEL YOUR PAIN, PASTOR. . .you have a child that will HELP YOU survive. . .AMANDA & YOUR UNBORN. . . REST IN PEACE. . . GOD IS WITH YOU
So heartbreaking
Thank you fir having this preacher on, such good advice, forgive & move forward.
Throughout the video, there was no mentioned of how God's grace helped him get through this difficult time of his life. But rather, the pastor used ~ I did this, I began to do this ~ rather than by God's grace, God healed me.
Exactly! Which makes me wonder who really did it.
@@nt2912what ?
Looked at the size of his house. God is not a priority to him

it's incredible story, blessing on you Pastor Blackburn and your family. Thant you for allowing God to use your story to help others.
This is a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
❤I can hardly believe that this story is appearing in Inside Edition.
A beautiful young wife n mother. Her life was robbed. She was with child😢 The level of forgiveness this pastor has shown is from above. He has turned toward Him n reaped blessing 🙌🙏All praise to Yehovah through His Son. Jesus.
Amen
In January 2019, Resonate, the church he founded, closed down a week after Pastor Davey resigned. The church was in tens of thousands of $$$ in debt.
Amanda was a beautiful person all the way around .This made me tear up liatening to Davey ..
I remember gking thru a difficult time in life back then , appearing at her service and my anxiety and depression was taken away the entire time we were there in that huge room...
Davey is so right ..Amandas legacy lives on and she will never be forgotten .
For 'Nothing Is Wasted '
Oh my goodness,what a twist of fate ,who could have imagined that this woman wouid be connected to him in such a tragic way,my mother used to say “God works in mysterious ways ,his wonders to perform “God knew when and where these two would ultimately meet and find a happy and new life together,just a really lovely story .
Something is OFF with the hubby
Followed this case from the beginning. Nothing this husband did or said made sense. He was simulating firing a gun on stage during a sermon. He never seemed overly concerned. Weird.
I believe he had something to do with her death 😮
💯
Thank you for your story.
He is just a bit too smooth. Can put together a story which leaves no strings untied.
You women want to blame innocent men for everything
@@arctic42069 prove he’s innocent.
Turn your pain into passion.
The Resonate Church dissolved back in 2019 that Pastor Davey Blackburn was at. I remember this story back in 2015, the couple had a starter home and the area was changing geographically in Indianapolis. It is always smart to have a home alarm system installed and a plan in place in the event that your home is invaded or broken into. I am happy to see that Davey was able to move forward in life, Amanda would have wanted that for Davey and Weston.
Wonder why it dissolved there’s a reason it isn’t the end of the story I pray justice for this poor mother and her unborn baby
Davey seemed to have no problem moving on. How do you know Amanda would have wanted that? You don’t.
@pamelasmith6221 agreed. Less than 2 years later he's already married? That man had his eyes on that woman while his wife was alive and carrying his child. I would not be a bit surprised if she was at the gym that day. (He 'met' her at the gym and he'd seen her around his church) He rubs me the wrong way.
This is weird vibes.
Please don’t judge so quickly..it’s a fact that men who have lost their wives and were in a good marriage..tend to remarry sooner than later.. and he also had a motherless toddler…knowing the police always investigate the husband vigorously should put your mind at ease…sometimes bad things happen to good people..that’s life
Satan NEVER SLEEPS! God didn’t cause this.
Sure He did. Read your Bible. If you don't believe God is absolutely sovereign over ALL things you don't believe in the God who has revealed Himself to us in Scripture.
You have misunderstood. The One True Almighty does not sleep. Shaitain has been allowed by The ALMIGHTY to misguide people. It is obvious that if you lose that spiritual connection that governs right and wrong.
Do a wrong action and tell me that within your lifetime you dont admit your wrong, if you dont then your next life will address your deeds good and bad.
@@jannatufirdous9479who the hell is Shaitain?
Hard to believe you had no part in this. SORRY.
Yep and he’s getting away with it
Why do you think he got away with murder
I think any one of the 3 men would’ve said something by now if he had a part.
@@oh_zee_oh ...especially since there was a plea bargain.
Another commentator said he took out a huge life insurance on her and lied on the stand about the payout. It’s a few comments up.
Excellent job on a heartbreaking but beautiful story. Forgiveness is hard, but eventually you realize that you actually do forgive. The problem with that is finding out that that person you have forgiven doesn’t care. That the person is still rotten and throws your forgiveness back in your face. It’s constant, to forgive. For me anyways. I’m glad that he is having a great life, and that he is sharing his late wife’s story. Definitely a book I want to read.
It’s sad that all it takes is one bad day to ruin a life. 😢
I really hope that all avenues were investigated in this case.....ALL people close to the victim thoroughly looked at.
Call me cynical but there is zero way i would be thinking about exploring a relationship with anyone new nevermind dating less than a year after my wife and unborn childs murder only to marry someone exactly 2 years later.
The 3 individuals saw him leave at 6 am and he didn't lock the door and they came in and murdered her but didn't harm the little boy sleeping in the other room. There is no mystery. I remember it well. It was on my side of town and there was undeniable proof of the perpetrators.
@@Lindalou2people can be paid to do devious things.

I don't know, but I'm just getting a bad vibe about this story, I could be wrong but the world in which we live in, is so corrupt and insane anything is possible, nothing is what it seems...
@@estherjoseph5972 You can believe the police department looked at all avenues when they were investigating this case. Even more so because he is a Pastor of the local church.
This situation/story is beyond strange...
What makes it strange?
Thank you for sharing! A true pastor’s heart! God bless you and your family!
This sounds like a lifetime movie
Yes. Scripted.
As I was watching this after a terrible day, I heard that Amanda had left this world on November 11th, the same day we were blessed with our first grandchild Lily. I am so sorry for this little family’s loss. I have been reminded to be always thankful.
prayers just for him and his son
Why they weren't tried for murder is ridiculous! It makes no sense at all! May God's grace continue to be with Davey and his beautiful family.
The state needed the two who took pleas to testify against the third guy to get a conviction for murder, and he was the one who actually killed her, the other two weren't there at the time, so it kinda makes sense.
One of them was tried and found guilty of murder, sentenced to 86 years. He was probably the shooter. That's common for the other people to have lesser charges or a plea deal.
@@trafficispeople5750yes it was the first guy Larry...What he did was unspeakable. Amanda was a really good hearted person.
Their Son was upstairs asleep in his crib.
Breaks my heart they did this to her ..She was truly a follower of Jesus Christ
Something seems off...
What a beautiful memorial from a husband
I may have trust issues but this guy gives me many red flags
Yes you clearly have issues
This is not a conspiracy theory channel!!! Geesus, the story tells you exactly what happened!! CNN: 11-23-2015..(this home invasion was before the Blackburns which was the 3rd incident in a crime spree) At some point during that robbery, the men discovered they were on surveillance video and disconnected the camera, the documents say. Taylor allegedly wanted to kill the occupant because he he had been seen on camera, but Watson and the third man convinced him to leave.
They took off in a stolen car and drove to another home, where they stole televisions, a laptop, the documents say. The three men then turned their attention to a third target - the Blackburn’s home.
Yes!!! Something weirds me out about him
@briarrose29 yes - he'd drive me out of his church - he thinks he's really smart.
@happyclassygirly - I don't have trust issues, and I agree with you. He raves at us using all the 'right concepts' a bit too smooth & in a calculated way. Doesn't feel genuine.
He might just be a cold fish type; she must have been super patient type wife to endure him.
this guy has like no emotions when he’s talking about his wife who got murdered… he’s just here to promote his new book to make money. major red flag, yikes 🚩 🚩

@@Prosperity85Why? What makes you think so?
@@Prosperity85 Yup. A real smooth talker. Strange that things like this just happen to happen when the husband has left the house. I recall Chris Coleman left the house early to go to the gym too, although in his case, he was the perpetrator.
She was beautiful, I’m praying for him and her children.
