Is the OnlyFans Model-Turned-Christian the Real Deal? | Ep 984

- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Today we discuss the recent online debate over women "hitting the wall": are women past thirty years old simply past their prime? Will men want to date women past a certain age? What are single Christian ladies in their 30s to do? Plus, we break down the recent controversy over former OnlyFans model Nala Ray's conversion to Christianity and her testimony. Do claims that she is faking it hold any water? Is it even our place to judge the sincerity of her redemption story? We look into all this and more.

I was a preachers kid…knew God was real but I walked away from him by the time I was 18 years old I was working at a nightclub and a strip club, living in a hotel. I gave my life back to Jesus when at 25 years old and never looked back. He can save us from the darkest deepest hell we create. Man can’t proclaim who can and can’t be saved it’s actually the most unworthy of us that Jesus loves believe it or not. I am now married with 3 kids. I don’t meet the criteria for a “wife” that these red pill men say men should marry but I belong to Jesus free from condemnation and the sting of sin🤍🤍🤍 Great podcast as always!
Might I ask Why did you do that? Why not work at JC Penney , why did you go to a strip club- was it from bitterness , or sheer rebellion? Lots of Christian parents end up with kids that go into obviously blatantly unhealthy careers or lifestyles. Was it because you knew it was the worse thing you could do ?
What could your family have done to make you not go so astray? Is there anything your mom and dad could have done, said, to avoid this situation? What was your relationship like with your dad?
@@flowerpower3618it is simply sin, we are fallen, rebellious beings,she was not saved when she did all that, she knew Christ as Satan knows him, but she did not love him, His grace and tender mercy brought her to him.
Amen sister, lost men underestimate the power of our Lord Christ who can rescue the worst of the sinners like me if He wills, blessed be His name!
I pray to God that my son will give hus life to Jesus Christ.
I was single until 39. I thought I missed the boat at first. I lived alone for around the last 10 yrs. I finally started understanding that even if I never marry I would do whatever I could find out what I could do around me. Sure, I cried and my heart hurt. I found fulfillment in God. A friend came along and set me up on a blind date...my now husband and I were/are Christians and that was our common ground. I had to let go preconceived ideas and learn to communicate. It's been the best choice ever!!!
I desired marriage and prayed for a godly husband for many years, but the Lord didn’t answer my prayer until I was 35. My husband literally walked into my church that I’d been attending for 16 years. He came to Christ four years earlier, so I can trace God’s Hand in not allowing me to marry earlier. He wasn’t even saved in our 20s, and the Lord was using those years to prepare him for me and for his salvation and to prepare me for him. We met and were married within a year, so, YES, a lot can happen in a year! I loved my teaching career, and now I’m loving being a SAHM mom to our son. The Lord gave me great contentment serving Him in those interim years before bringing my husband to me. Our story is rare and I am all for young marriage if that’s what the Lord has, but, older women, be encouraged. Maybe the Lord will have you remain single to serve Him best that way or maybe He will bring you to a godly, humble, wonderful husband in your 30s, 40s, 50s+. ❤️
🙌🏻🙏🏻🕊
Beautiful! My pastor just told us today him and his wife didn’t get married until they were in their 30s. He said the day she walked into the coffee shop doors he was meeting her at, he knew he was so thankful that God had him wait for her. She was worth it, and he was able to serve God in other ways when he was single, so both were blessings from God!
Eww
Can you give practical advice instead of waiting for God to bring you a husband. By the way I don't even believed story because of how your trying to say that God made you get married to him.
@@Emmanuel_EEE So cynical, has it occurred to you your clear anger about men might be the problem. Has it occurred to you that your vide says don't talk to me or I bite your head off. Probably not but none the less God can help if you let him. However you have to open your heart to him.
A year from now I was an atheist in such a horrible abusive relationship that half my hair fell out from stress. I was saved in August and immediately left that relationship. I found my fiancé (through a Christian dating app) in November. I got engaged last weekend and sent the invites today. Our wedding date is set for next month. A LOT can happen in a year. I am SO blessed but my fiancé was saved for 6 years before meeting me. He spent those years praying for me and edifying himself to be the best husband he can be. Your future spouse might not be ready for you yet. God’s timing is everything.
😢❤
Beautiful testimony ❤
Come on Allie. These are choices that every woman gets to choose. We can’t always be stepping gently to make sure we don’t hurt someone’s feelings. That right there is what is wrong with this generation. They can’t handle truth and they can’t handle it being spoken because they feel guilty about their own choices. Not to sound mean because that’s not what I want to do but coddling isn’t helping what’s happening here. Charlie is right and unfortunately people have believed the lie about woman needing to wait and have their careers first. It wasn’t Charlie that spoke that lie it was the world. He’s just pointing it out.
❤love this testimony
My wife was 35 and I was 30 when we married. We've been married almost 50 years. Her doctor said she was smart to marry a younger man.
Life isn't easy, and marriage isn't always easy. I am now my wife's 24/7 caregiver.
Make sure you build your life on the solid rock.
Beautiful💗💗. God bless you both🙏🏻
🙏♥️🙏❤️🙏
Did you have kids?
You were scammed
@@stevestevens1457May you find a love as great as theirs, once you’re able.
The disciples didn't believe Paul's conversion either. He had to have other witnesses go beforehand to them to convince them his conversion was legit.
They were smart since the Mosaic law required two or three witnesses for something to be established. The only reason she is making news is she is a millionaire. She brags about her sinful life more than Christ , talked about her ex-boyfriend, her parents more than Christ so don't compare her to Apostle Paul who talked more about Christ.
"I was in the top .01% but I'm not bragging" = lie
"My mom didn't hug me" yet she stay at home to home-schooled her.
Dear Allie, thank you for these words, and for the grace and kindness that you show. I'm not only over 35 but had to have a hysterectomy due to sickness, that has hurt too deep.
I'm very sorry for your hurting heart. Due to hormonal changes, as well as Graves Disease, I might never be able to give my younger fiance' children. God sees our struggles and meets us where we are. I'll pray for you, sister. ❤❤
Please know you are not alone. I also feel better knowing that i am not alone. I am 41 now and was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure at 16. All i wanted was to be a mother. Obviously i never got to have children. It is such a deep tragic heartbreak to live with these issues. Allie’s message really touched my heart today and helped me remember the most important thing, Jesus.
@@megalopolis2015Your fiance needs to find somebody that will.
@@murky-snickett2961 Thanks for the critique. Hopefully you'll never age so your partner won't have to find an "upgrade". That's pretty unhealthy, since Life, and aging, happens to everyone.
@@murky-snickett2961 Also, Andrew Tate is an imperfect person, and is also aging--possibly in prison.
I went to church with a woman who didn't get married until she was in her 50s
😂😂😂😂😂
This hit so hard for me! On my 25th birthday (2022) I cried my eyes out because I really believed I would be engaged by that time. Two months later this guy approached me at church and swept my feet from under me. December that year we got engaged and got married in May 2023. Now I have my husband, faith partner and best friend all wrapped in one. (He was 38 when I met him and not at all what I would have called my “type”). But I listened to the Holy Spirit in that season. A lot can happen in a year!!! Praying for you ladies.
Ok I’m gonna tell your story to you and you can correct me if I’m wrong. When you turned 25 you cried and were sad you weren’t engaged. Just two months after a man approached you that was not your type and fell in love and will or is married. What makes this some crazy miracle? I would argue this is self will and nots Gods will. Anyways I wish you the best and hope you too a lifetime of happiness. It just doesn’t sound like some crazy story to me. Women get older and start to settle. Guys approach women all the time. If the same guy approaches you at 20 are you going to fall in love like you did at 26 and feeling depressed? Who’s to say what we go out and find for ourselves isn’t God will anyway. The 38 year old that isn’t your type probably pretty happy with himself though. Got a woman most likely out of his league because she didn’t want to be alone and was wanting a husband and he swooped in like Vulture. He got a young attractive wife and she got her husband. Maybe someday she sees a nice attractive man exactly her type and he approaches her and tells her she’s the most beautiful woman in the world but she tells him I’m sorry I just got married. He says oh wow I wish I met you sooner. She thanks him and deep down she feels sad because he could have been the Gift god had planned for her that she didn’t pick for herself.. Goodnight 🌙
@@tommelsvon okay so some more context… I was dating someone when I was 20 to 24 so by 25 I recognised that if I was to get married I would have to go through the whole process of meeting someone, getting to know them, date a few years, etc before getting married. So I cried on my 25th birthday because I knew it would be years before I get engaged, but I always hoped it would be at 25. The “miracle” part comes in where I stopped trying to control the age I wanted to get married, and then God sent me this man, who proposed in a few months’ time, so God still gave me my hearts desires even when I thought it would not be possible. It is not self will since I didnt know he would propose when he did? Another point, he is now 100% my type, since “my type” used to be what I thought I wanted, not what God KNEW I NEEDED. I didnt start dating him “just because I was lonely” in fact I had just started studying when we met and I told him that was priority at the time. I believe God sent this man to me, and we are doing the work of the Lord together, which by the way I could never say about my previous relationships.
@@lizaanprinsloo7332From a fellow woman, please don't feel that you need to justify your marriage or your husband to some random jerk on UA-cam. I'm sure that your husband is an incredible man of God ☺️. I am so thankful that God blessed you and I pray for incredible things for your life and future and marriage.
He's not your "type" lol. I hope he reads this.
@@murky-snickett2961 He was not what I thought my type was he knows this
Single ladies out there,
My future wife to be had a failed marriage and was struggling with the dating world and also lying men she was running across. We met via a mutual person we knew. Our first date was Valentine's day, we were married mid November the same year. She just turned 30 and I was 26. Still married and 2 adult children 35 years later.
Praise the Lord! I met my husband at 39 and here we are 15 years later!
Sad
@@GFTCNJ you are?
@@aloe704 Yes. Poor guy
@@GFTCNJ Paavam
I worked with a lady who was in her 60s, not especially attractive, and men were always asking her out. She laughed at their jokes and made them feel good about themselves. That was basically it.
Very positive...God bless you!❤
Exactly ! She was unproblematic.
ua-cam.com/video/yQRPkxJbPVk/v-deo.html
Being unproblematic seems to be beyond most women today.
Allie I appreciate your monologue at the beginning and ladies she’s right, a LOT can happen in a year. I was 34 and divorced and convinced I was so tainted no one would touch me. I prayed and committed my future to the Lord. I met my husband online 3 weeks later, married him 10 months later, and 5 years later am pregnant with our third baby at age 41. Don’t underestimate what God can choose to do and the swiftness with which it can happen.
That's wonderful!
Amen. Congrats and many blessings on your union and little bundle of joy🙏🏻
Yuck
No wonder the younger generations are becoming more autistic
You didn't follow the Bible very closely when it comes to marriage huh?
I love your advice to the single ladies!
It reminds me of myself when I was single and unmarried. I felt so dejected by the lack of good men, but I resigned to not making men my primary focus.
I focused on my health, getting to know what I liked and disliked and before I knew it, my husband was introduced to me by someone I had not spoken to in years.
He lived overseas and it took time for me to warm up to it, but once I did, it all came to make sense.
Here I was in the USA and my husband, my bone from which I am designed from, was in Africa.
He is born the same year as I.
Where I am introverted, he is extroverted.
My complete better half in every way.
Hang in there, and like Allie says, do good while you wait. God wants to release your blessing, but it is dependent on your response in your time of need.
And also sister, marriage is a gift, we are not entitled to it and not all of us will receive it.
I found myself divorced and childless at 35 years old. (I was previously married to a verbally and mentally abusive man). The only way I can describe the way I felt about the likelyhood of meeting a man, getting married and having children is that “the outlook was bleak.” But God!!!!! I prayed daily for years that the Lord would send me a husband and a baby! And when I was 39 I started dating and married my husband (whom I actually went to HS with and we reconnected on FB) and at 40 I gave birth to my son! The Lord restored what the locust had stolen in my life and I so grateful! So yes you are right…a lot can happen in a year.
Verbally and mentally abusive? Nah, you were a masculine feminist and he was sick of you. You wouldn't change, and after the divorce, you were stacking up bodies ( all you sound the same). Who has a kid at 40 unless you're mentally unstable. You're only happy now because someone actually took you in.
So basically you reconnect with a "male friend" from HS that in your 20s you didn't mess with. But know that your in your late 30s to early 40s he would be perfect as a settling husband.
The Lord's plan is never to remarry, that's your worldly desires
Thank you for your words on late singlehood. I’m in my late 30’s. I had waited and prayed for my husband and it wasn’t until 3 years ago that we met and married. Praise God we are now expecting our first child. Hearing others down talk women for getting started later in life as if all of us have chosen feminist ideology is frustrating. Thank you for including those of us that were waiting on God and not following a societal agenda.
But you ultimately did choose feminism. You got married in your 30s. 🤣
I left twitter back when it was twitter, and seeing some of these posts by people I used to follow just reaffirms I made a great decision. We're supposed to offer Nala Rey grace. If she's not sincere then we still pray for her and the rest is between her and God.
This is what people mean by “there’s no hate like Christian love” 😔 Jesus would weep & flip tables at his followers calling her irredeemable.
Yep the Bible says they will be known by there fruit. For fruit to grow it has to be given time. I have to question any Christian who has such an unforgiving heart. Jesus said let he without sin cast the first stone. Maybe a lot of these people should think about that.
Really appreciated your little discourse on woman and the single after 30(ish) stage. Thought I'd give my own love story to maybe encourage someone! I spent my 20s living at a small conservative Bible School (usually the perfect place to get an MRS degree) without meeting anyone (at least anyone who liked me at the same time I liked him!) I moved back home to WA state at the guidance of God, knowing the dating pool would be even smaller there for my situation. The year I turned 30 was a very eventful year for me. I traveled a lot, including twice out of the country. During that summer I touched base with an old friend who came to WA for some church events. That fall she called me and asked if she could give my number to a young man she knew. He likes to say it was love at first text ;-) Almost exactly a year to the day later, we were married. As you said, a lot can happen in a year! For the one who is discouraged - keep your head up. As Allie said, life doesn't start with marriage. But if marriage is in God's plan for you, know that as long as you are doing your best to live in His will, He will bring that man at His time! My husband is six years younger than me, too! (Take that, all you folks who say a guy won't date a girl his age, let alone older!) He had only been saved a little over a year before we met, so that explains part of the reason I had to wait so long. There is nothing better than knowing you're in God's will. That saying, it's better to be single than to wish you were is so true! We've been married 9.5 years and have four children (another thing to be encouraged about - I was 31 when I got married and was seriously Fertile Myrtle even at that age; 3 kids in less than 3 years!) Marriage isn't a walk in the park (neither is life in general) and we've weathered some pretty tough storms - but the key is knowing we're in this together for the long haul because GOD put us together!
Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing sister
Allie, thank you so very much for actually being kind to older single ladies, like me. I have left so many conservative You Tube channels because of the utter vitriol being said about us. I may completely disagree with you on mental health issues, but I usually agree with almost everything else you say. God bless you!
What is it you disagree w/ her about mental health issues? I'm not a regular, so have no idea here views on it.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 She seems to imply mental health meds are inherently bad and I don't know whether she thinks mental illness is real.
Why do you disagree with her about the mental health issues?
@@saintejeannedarc9460 She seems to only highlight how horrible psych meds are, doesn't seem to think therapy useful, and I am not sure she even thinks mental illness is real.
@@WCove99 Well I'll be curious to hear her views on it. I definitely know mental illness is real. I'd be surprised if it was as straight forward as she does not. Psych meds are risky business. They can help, but theycan do a lot of damage and are over prescribed, and people can be clobbered into oblivion on them. Therapy is a tough one. It can really help, but it's not all created equal. Would you be somewhat in agreement?
Heard gospel many times...but for some reason yours Allie brought me to tears again
🙏❤️😭❤️🙌
These people have clearly never understood the gospel. Of course, Nala is just starting her journey, but I pray that she will continue on in her faith and continue to dedicate her life to Christ. People are so blind to the fact that God can change anyone. Including me. Including Nala. Including anyone.
Nala just got married to the man that led her back to Christ. She says in the interview with Michael Knowles that if someone had just given her love and told her she was worth more she may not have gone down the path she did. That is exactly what her now husband did was give her the love of Christ, just as Jesus did with the women you mentioned. I do believe that they are true Christians and this is not just a brand switch for her. You can see how excited she is about this in the interview and how much emotion comes out of her when talking about it.
Doesn't this remind you of the story of Hosea? How much are we changed by receiving the love of God!!!
Nala did take some time away, but given the constant questioning and criticism, she felt the need to get back on to explain everything.
Her only stated goal at this time is to provide through her platform resources to help give other OF creators an escape route out of the industry.
She also stated in the interview that she has now married her partner, who helped lead her to Christ, on Easter Sunday, and her now mother-in-law is discipling her.
Allie, thank you so much for your kind words to the still single girls! It seems like all the conservative voices just want to talk about marrying young and how we all should be marrying young. Well, many people, like myself, wanted that but it hasn’t happened yet. You are the first conservative speaker that I’ve heard to offer encouragement rather than make you feel like you’re a “less than” person. ❤️ thank you!!
Agreed!! 👏🏽
Wait? Did you approach men when your younger? I'm getting a feeling that women who are in their 30s that are single, rarely approach men and expect the man to do the approaching.
For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you All
I get so frustrated listening to all these graceless people, as if they're blameless before the Lord. The self-righteousness is nauseating.
I remember when the Lord brought me out of my old life style; I was at church one evening; for volleyball. I remember a kid younger than me saying he didn't feel like he had a testimony, because he had never basically been a rebellious kid. I told him don't mess your life up just to make your testimony sound "good" .
I'm not shaken up. But I'm soooo happy that you told me where to go to watch your opinion. Yay!!! Glad you're doing another episode update
I’m so glad I became a lawyer before I got married and had kids. It grew me into a more well rounded version of myself and I now have the best of both worlds (education, career and family). God can do anything in your life as a woman, don’t let the small minds (like Charlie) limit you 🙌🏼
So it's small mind to say that women are in their peak in their 20s? Have you not looked at history? Young woman have be always been sought for.
I am a prodigal daughter. I find many older Christian’s with children who left the faith absolutely love hearing my testimony from new age to Christianity. It gives them hope ❤ He is GOOD! 🙏🏻
I was a 30 year old widow with a 4-year year old when I met my sweet hubby. I had been talking with some friends at church because my desire was to homeschool my child when she turned 5. I didn't know how to do that as a working single mom. My friend said, "Don't you think God could bring you a husband in a year?" Well, God did! Also, to the guys out there considering who to date, I was much more settled and mature emotionally and mentally in my 30's than my 20's.😂 There's something to be said for the wisdom that comes from being a bit older. It has benefits!
What? So are you recommending Christian men to marry women in their 30s instead of 20s?
@@Emmanuel_EEE I'm just suggesting that men don't altogether write off ladies in their 30's.
@@karia814 Why not? Unless they are a virgin there is zero reason to marry a older women. You can always train a young women into a better wife. You would rarely can change an older women's ways. If I was to give a prescription I would recommend men to marry women in their 20s and don't even go for 30+ year old women.
"Train a younger woman" 🚩🚩🚩
Says all you need to know about Mr. E's character.
@@diamondjones1595 What are you talking about? You get training when you enter any job. It would be similar to a marriage.
I had been a believer for 10years when I committed adultery. I was a horrible wreck, but my husband prayed, fasted, and loved me. God used him to arrest me in a pit of despair. I was taught by Holy Spirit that real love is not a feeling, but a choice. The Sunday morning following that revelation my pastor preached that exact thing, which showed me how much love God had for me. I never forgot that. We’ve been married for 23 years with four children. If I had been condemned by others I wouldn’t have learned what real love is. I thank God every single day for my husband and his family. We should love(not accept wrong doing) people where they are, correcting, and praying for them. No one is irredeemable.
Gross
God bless you and your family. ❤ Thank you for your willingness to be transparent. Our God brings beauty from ashes.

Allie Beth, thank you so much for what you said to parents of prodigal children! Those are such relevant words for me and many others!
I am on brink of 35 and have come to find despite my greatest desire that I am called to a life of singleness. Most days I am content, but I do have great moments of grief. I come to learn that:
1) Grief and joy are simultaneous
2) To be content doesn’t mean you can’t grieve or still desire
3) We can still find joy in most things, but have to choose it
4) We are not less or have missed anything. Biblically, Paul even says if you desire marriage, get married, if not you have more time to devote to God because you don’t have to split your responsibilities. It’s a reminder our singleness doesn’t mean we are broken. We can still glorify God just as much.
5) God withholds no good thing from us
6) Man makes many plans, but it is God who ultimately directs our steps
7) Go live life. Don’t let “waiting” inhibit activity or adventure
Allie, thank you so much for putting words to the beautiful grace found in the Gospel. It is such a sweet encouragement. 💓
I really appreciate everything you’re saying on this podcast, Allie. I am 31 with three kids and was/am absolutely heartbroken to have gone through a divorce in the past year that I never wanted for my life or for my kids. The stereotypes about single women in their 30s and ESPECIALLY single moms are awful and completely not true of me (like we supposedly sleep around, are bitter, are bad moms, etc.) One of the many reasons I don’t see myself dating for a long time is because of these stereotypes that people automatically put on us. I do want to get remarried someday when my kids are older, and I loved your emphasis on trusting God and placing our future in his hands. I trust that He’s powerful enough to bring me someone without joining one of those cringeworthy dating apps. 😅
Marriage is a gift, no one is entitled to have one.
Such a great episode. Thank U, Allie!
Wanted to share my love story to encourage other women. Spent most of my mid-late 20s single (broken engagement and the young age of 23). Met my husband when I was 29.5. We married 2 days after I turned 30. I got pregnant one month after our wedding and had our first kid nine months later. Then 1.5 years we welcomed our second kid. Time is nothing to the Lord. It’s crazy what God can do in such a short period of time
As someone that walked away and chose the worst life possible, I can understand this! Addiction took me to places no one should see. But Jesus saved me when i finally gave up and told God HE had to fix me, because i couldn't try anymore. I was instantly healed from my addiction and i know it doesn't always happen like that. No one believed me that i really gave my life to Jesus. Those people are still not in my life. It's so sad that these people wanted me to change, and when i finally did, they mocked or doubted me. The Lord has brought me other people and is rebuilding my relationship with my husband (It will be 19 years on Tuesday). I still am dealing with the consequences of that life, but doing things with Jesus is the better than anything else, and if i had to go through all the pain again to be able to keep Jesus, i would in a heartbeat...I want to spend the rest of my life telling people about Jesus and the Power of His BLOOD.
Yes! He is worth EVERYTHING ❤. God bless you and your husband.
I can understand people sometimes doubting someone else getting saved because of their past. But they forget that God can change anyone despite their past. God can forgive as well, and only He knows where our hearts at. I’m so sorry people mocked you even though they wanted you to be saved. They’re going to have to give an answer to God one day for all that. God also disciplines all of His children, so take comfort in that also.
@@katierucker2870I won’t lie, it was incredibly difficult to be alone for a few years. I did have someone that knew me from childhood that became super close, even though she was in California and I am in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. She passed away in 2021 and I was devastated. But the Lord brought me another friend(online, it’s hard to have a real life friendship here). She is so much like me. And so many of the things I deal with she has dealt with or still deals with and it is wonderful to have someone that is on the same page as I am. It was totally God how we met, so either she’s a plant or PsyOp or a gift from God! 🤣
The Lord knows exactly what we need, and I have learned to trust Him in everything!
This Nola Ray gal really has me perplexed. As to if she has truly repented her sins and given herself and her soul over to Jesus Christ our one Lord and Savior is yet to be determined. I am not going to judge her. I listened to the whole 2 1/2 hour interview with Michael Knowles and as the preacher's kid I'm certain that she still had a Bible, could find things in the Bible and remember things from when she was a child. She started stepping out literally of her window and doing inappropriate things at the age of 13 or 14 years old. She seemed most sincere when she talked about the job she had when she was 15 and 16 years old at Hardee's. As a Roman Catholic or Papist, as some people would say she did not need to get rebaptized she needed to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, the Eucharist and Confession -- to bring herself into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, the One True Church. Who wrote your Bible? That religion that is now Roman Catholic. Enough said on that point.
I will reserve judgment on this young lady for six or eight months. I fully acknowledge that she likely had contractual obligations that gave rise to difficulty in turn it off for only fans account. The question remains is it inactivated? Is this a marketing employee? Some people had said that her audience had plateaued and then this is a gimmick to get her more subscribers I don't know?
God can truly forgive but man does not have to forget. Man can also forgive.
I think if she truly wants to give her life over to Jesus Christ our one Lord and Savior that she needs to get rid of the fake red hair, the tarantula eyelashes, and find a way to make money outside of a tick tock account that will allow her a lifestyle with a Jeep rather than a Porsche. What was interesting she indicated that she had not yet done her taxes and that she had $2.6 million in income in 2023. A good portion of that's going to go to California and the US government.
While she may have made $9 million over her three-to-five-year career she probably does not have very much of a left and, unfortunately, like mania of her predecessor adult performers will probably be back on the platform within the next year because her lifestyle will not be able to sustain unless she has truly given her soul love to our one Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
@@stjoelawyer Wow. So glad I'm not a catholic. I don't believe that being a catholic saves people. Nala is NOT catholic. And i know that RCC cult doesn't believe in grace, but Christians do. When you come out of hell, regardless if we walked in ourselves, it takes longer than the average person People like you are the reason people like me have a hard time coming back to Christ. I am GRATEFUL for the people that came beside me to encourage me, if i only had the negative i don't know how much harder it would have been. Jesus can and does change people no matter if they did sex work or were addicts, or even murderers. You will have to answer for you doubt along with your other sin and will just leave it at that because i cant engage with someone so pious that thinks they are better than anyone else.
I'm always excited when sinners recognize their need for Jesus. If we can't be excited about that, then that means maybe our faith is dull and should look into that!
Thank you Alley for having this discussion. Being exactly what you described I feel the shame message about singleness that churches push on the internet. There have been times I listened to the false teachings and grew bitter towards the church. Hearing this gives me hope that the discussion can change to be less abut propaganda and more about the true teachings of the bible.
Oh thanks Allie for talking about this. It's good to see content for over 30s.
Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was Buried and that he Rose again the third day praise God praying for everyone everyday God bless you all...
Thank you for your words Alli, really needs to hear that again God bless you more ❤
You actually gave a balanced view on her. Thank you for not just bringing her on like Katt Von D. It's true we can't assume it's not genuine but when people instantly want to teach it's a super red flag. And the little I've seen there's some red flags with her,but it could just be things that'll go away over time. Everybody needs to pause when someone famous says they converted.
Agree
Kat Von D never said she wanted to teach in the interview, though. It was quite the opposite. And KVD had been a Christian for a couple of years before being baptized and going on this podcast. It wasn't like she had only been saved for two or three months. KVD didn't go on a social media tour. She did this podcast and talked about it briefly on Theo's podcast. Some channels spoke about it without having her on. Over all the Christian treatment of KVD wasn't unbalanced.

@@stjoelawyer man lots of man made rules in your comment, Religion will not take you to heaven!
@@OlgaSmirnova1 You have your beliefs and I mine as a Roman Catholic who believes you are saved by the One True Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Mass./
As a single girl in my mid thirties who still desires marriage & motherhood, thank you for this episode. All too often, I do fall for the enemies lies that I messed up somewhere along the road and missed my chance. Thank you for the reminder that God sees me & my heart along with my desires. But that I am no less of woman or daughter of God just because I am not married or a mother.
Unless you’re marrying her or following her advice, whether you believe she’s saved or not is irrelevant. I hope it’s genuine but I’ll only know that on the other side. I’m sure there’s people who call themselves “Christian” around us all the time who are lukewarm and you’d have to be really close to even have a second thought. It’s a good thing only God gets to decide.
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16).
If you watch the Michael Knowles interview, her parents remarried but are currently divorcing again. Of course, they didn't support her OF career BUT they also didn't welcome her back into the Christian fold as a prodigal daughter so ..... yeah. Some Christian upbringings *are* toxic and graceless.
No wonder she fell away...maybe that was necessary to lead her to the TRUE Gospel.
Yes in that interview she described her upbringing as being legalistic and ritualistic......a common thread in rebellion stories.
I just got done listening to that interview last night.
@@robertthompson9643yeah we have that extreme and we also have the other extreme of those who are spreading a half-gospel message where “God loves you and accepts you just the way you are.” They are not given something to believe in nor are they given a reason for Christ’s death and resurrection.
@@natashamiller4860 Still better than legalism, at least in terms of being spared from the burn pile. I would rather someone lose out on rewards than salvation itself
Nah. I was in my prime at 40. Honestly. Down hill from there 😂 but I was in the best shape, looked much younger, and I think I was more beautiful than in my 20s. Plus I had some self esteem finally 😂
that's why "men" like charlie fear women older than 25... because he can't handle or manipulate them.
but he takes what he can get anyway, because with that face of his, beggars can't be choosers.
that's why he barely married his then 32 year old girlfriend 3 years ago after SHE decided to spend her teens and 20s in beauty pageants and showing up to Trump events in bikinis.
it gives him an ego boost to say he married "miss arizona" so he absolutely went for it.
he is a hypocrite and lowIQ
I fall into your described category, with the exception of my being 43 and not 35... I chose to wait on God's plan and have remained celibate and prayed for my husband and longed for a family of my own. In the waiting or as a part of my story, God has blessed me with three nephews that I am extremely close with and they have filled so many spaces in my heart and life. So, I have come to the conclusion that whatever my story looks like, God is writing it and my life is what it is and I trust that the Author of my story, knows exactly what I need, when I need it and He'll take care of me.
Lol
Why do y'all want God to hold your hand. That is not his job. He would guided you to where he want you to be. But you can't just sit still and do nothing.
Many forget Rahab, the prostitute from Jericho, was not only saved from the destruction of Jericho, but was then adopted as one of Gods children and then even listed in Jesus’ genealogy. God doesn’t just forgive and restore, but He then blesses and even uses those who chose to follow Him.
Yesssss! She is the mother of Ruth’s husband, Boaz!
Expectations don't make the rule.
I’ve been waiting for this episode
This was such a great episode. I cried through out it
I love how you speak to us personally & give advice with scripture & know that some of these things said not just from Charlie is heartbreaking. God always know best 🤍
"Too far gone " is literally a lie from Satan. He would love for us to believe that! None of us deserve God's grace! All of us should be too far gone but only because God came to us did He close the gap that kept us too far gone! They haven't even given this poor girl a chance to grow before trying to cut her down! We should pray that she remain strong in order to lead more women out of that lifestyle! 🙏🏼 She admits in her interview that she craved love and attention which lead her to Fans Only... imagine how many women feel that same way and will have lives restored when they can understand and feel God's love for them because of Nala's testimony!
One month before my 29th birthday I had just started talking to a really great man. One month before my 30th birthday we got married. Now we’re starting a family together. It will happen in Gods time.
I also don’t believe in a pretrib rapture. So much hostility when I’ve told people.
A pretrib rapture has become American evangelical's heroin. So many Christians call Godly responsible decisions "a lack of faith". They're the foolish virgins
I totally agree with you Alley. Your comments about weed using moms are accurate. I am so saddened by this; wait until "high" moms start doing things like forgetting a young child in the bathtub, or not being in a state of mind to handle an emergency.
That's a different type of drug. Alcohol can do that more so than weed. Although I completely agree that weed isn't something moms or anyone should do to get through the day and it's a sign something is wrong but just saying I know tons of people who do smoke weed and they have never forgotten their child in the bath. They wouldn't be legalising it if it messed people up that badly. It's a mild relaxer and mood enhancer which does have some benefits in moderation. However using it to "cope" and being dependant on it has the opposite effect because it keeps them in a state of dysregulation, mental fog, fatigue and most weed is synthetic especially if illegal so its causing inflammation in people's brains. I don't smoke it before people attack me. I did briefly In the past while battling severe health issues and trauma. It honestly did help me get out of my head, become more creative, start the early stages of healing but it increased inflammation and pain in my body and I knew it wasn't good for my health overall. People who depend on weed regularly do get overwhelmed more easily because their brain is dysregulated from it and probably from trauma and spiritual reasons too (entities that want to keep you stuck). I sent a deliverance to my friend once and her response instantly was I can't listen to that. She looked so stressed like her brain was being attacked. Yes because the demon made her turn it off. Anyway I just wanted to give My opinion on it all lol. Overall I agree it's bad but it's not in the same category as something that will cause emergency situations unless it was being seriously abused. Alcohol is far more likely to cause neglect trauma abuse etc and other drugs
This whole video is amazing. So well said. Praise God and so happy for Nala
12 years ago I met my current husband on Craigslist. I was making fun of the funny listings, then came across his. The same day we went on a date, 12 years and 4 kids later, here we are!
For a little context, at the time I wasn’t living for Jesus and my hubs was agnostic at best. By God’s grace we are both saved now and raising our kids to know the Lord.
Keep your chins up y’all- you never know where or how God will bring a spouse into your life. 💕
Great take on this!
Luke 7:47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”
Allie is so right! That spotlight can be a dangerous thing and it would be very wise for her to avoid that snare.
Non-Christians telling Christians who can and who can not be saved while the Bible literally shows robbers, cheaters, s*x**lly promiscuous people being saved. Not to mention Rahab’s life being spared. That just goes to show how people who are not redeemed have no understanding of redemption whatsoever. They need redemption to. But they probably don’t think so. They probably think that Christianity is for good people.
Sadly a lot of the people saying she can’t be saved is from self-proclaimed Christians.
And Rahab had a son named BOAZ-yup the Kinsman Redeemer. Then Boaz and Ruth had Obed, Obed had Jesse, and Jesse had David-King David. God is not afraid of our past. 💜
Jesus said he didn't come for the righteous but sinners. So basically people who think they have a righteousness of their own are disqualified. The Pharasees and leaders were white washed tombs. In other words good looking fraudulent dead people. Jesus said the blind can't lead the blind otherwise they both will end up in a ditch!
I totally understand your frustration. Sometimes I have to take a break from social media when I see people @busing the word!!!!
Well said, Allie, just everything. And about praying mothers, Dolly Parton has just recorded the late Tom Petty's song 'Southern Accents' and the video pays homage to his praying mother.
About Nala, Amen. Nothing like hearing a testimony of the Redeeming love of Jesus. So powerful.
Love the hope and encouragement from Allie to women in their 30's! I met my husband in the singles group at our church when I was 32. We married when I was 33 and had two babies at 34 and 35 years old.
I’m also a southern baptist and don’t believe the rapture will happen, but I can’t wait to watch any future episodes where you talk about this because I definitely want to learn more about things pertaining to eschatology.
There are good men. I have a son who is a godly man. He hasn't found a godly woman yet. He's serving at his church and waiting on the Lord.
Thank you so much for that reminder, I am praying to God for a family one day. But my highest calling is to glorify God. That made me want to cry, thank you so much for telling me that. I'm only 26, and I feel like a failure for not having kids yet because I've wanted them for so long. I trust in the creator. ❤
Sister, I married at 39, do not dismay, take courage and do His will, if He doesn’t have marriage for you He will make you content without it, otherwise He will give you a husband.
The April 8th edition of the CoffeeAndCovid substack has a very nice media breakdown of Nala’s conversion story that I found compelling and inspiring.
I agree with you Allie on Tinder being a no go and possibly Bumble but I met my Christian husband on Hinge. Looking for another devout Christian on Hinge is difficult but I don’t think it’s not an option at all. On Hinge you can see if a man calls himself a Christian and it does help narrow it down. Then you of course will need to personally vet him on his faith but it does help. I tried a Christian dating app called Upward and ran into similar issues that Hinge has.
I think meeting someone at church is ideal but I went to a church with very few men my age (26) and I knew I needed to take action to meet someone so I went on Hinge and Upward. I wouldn’t recommend it as a first place to look but I would recommend it if a woman cannot find men in the spaces they frequent.
Love your take on the Nala situation. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of Christianity in this wild and crazy day and age.
Honestly, who wants a husband who only cares about having a youthful wife- because none of us will stay young! Luckily, not all men are so shallow. Some value personality, intelligence, kindness, spirituality, common values and interests much higher than physical attributes.
HAHAHA. Men are shallow because they want more than 1 kid. You can't make this shit up. Women can have the same value of personality, intelligence, kindness, spirituality, common values and interests in their 20s. Why marry a women who has more baggage and trauma from when she was in her 20s.
A cousin of mine married twice had 2 children who basically raised themselves because of her drug addiction and wild lifestyle but she was radically saved at almost 40 married a Christian man and had two more daughters who have been raised in church and home schooled. My cousin has been a bold witness since her salvation. Her first born child claims to be an atheist and I believe holds resentment about the chaotic way she was raised. But my cousin, realizing that it was her sinful life before that possibly bore those consequences she continues to love and pray for her daughter to come to Christ. 2 girls were born when she was in her 40’s.
Thankyou for addressing g the topic about Rapture. After I posted my question I went back and looked to see if You have ever talked about this and I started watching those videos about the end times and it was very interesting. I have never heard of all those believes, I always just assumed everyone believed in the rapture like I did. I would like to see if your thoughts about the rapture have changed.
I love that you talk biblically and factually!! I love your videos 😊
Allie, I'm a 67 year old pastor. I have never believed in A Pre Trib rapture. When I was younger it was still a minority view. But the popularity of the Left Behind books and films has changed that. In the mid 70s, it was promoted by a few Baptist leaders. What surprises me the most is how angry people get when they hear another view. So, thank you for your stand.
Another interesting show. Best line of the entire podcast: “There aren’t different levels of dead.” Made me laugh.

There is no shame a believer should carry for past sins. There is no guilt for past sins. Jesus paid for the sins and if we try to carry the guilt for our past sins we are treating the blood of Christ with disdain. If this girl is saved then Jesus was found guilty of those sins. And this girl? When Satan accuses her? Jesus says, "She is pure. She is without stain or wrinkle. I bore those sins and she bears none of them."
She who has been forgiven much loves much. And she who has been forgiven much is full of joy. So much joy. No guilt. Just unfathomable joy because her guilt is completely wiped away. Washed away. She is whiter than snow. She is pure and clean. And she is full of joy.
If you have not found that joy that doesn't mean you need to sin more so you can experience more grace. It means you need to ask God to show you how vile your sin is.
At 30 my life was a mess, I had gotten divorced and had hit rock bottom. I moved away. One night my new neighbor knocked on my door and invited me to his Christian church Christmas celebration. Didnt see my neighbor again. A month later i went by myself and was saved. It changed my life. Three years later my "neighbor" and I got married. He is 15 years older. We have been married 10 yrs now. God is in control on the lives of those who love and trust Him.
Why do I have a feeling that your making this up?
@@Emmanuel_EEE "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Matthew 11:15 That is why Jesus mainly spoke in parables to not only His disciples and followers but to the Pharisees as well. Not everyone will understand. For your heart and salvation, and for His glory, I pray you really do one day. Have a blessed day Emmanuel, great name btw (God is with us)
@@abbyfer8705 Not trying to be disrespectful, it just sounds like a fairy tale that you tell to little children.
@@Emmanuel_EEE thank you for clarifying. I appreciate it. It did happen just like that. I always say my marriage is a God-given marriage because He literally knocked on my door and after I received Him, He gave me everything else. The same thing for my husband, he had given up on women because he was also divorced, and had rededicared his life to God before he met me. He told me he had asked God to put a wife in his doorstep if He chose that for him, but he had promised Him he wouldnt go out looking for one anymore, after his divorce. So the night he knocked on my door, as I closed it, I saw him from my window, knocking on the other apartment doors, inviting people to the Christmas celebration at his church. I didnt think I would go, but I did go, by myself. That night God changed my life and I never looked back. Once I was months into Christ, I prayed for someone like my husband, with his amount of faith. I would see him at church, with his hands in the air, worshipping our God. Never in a million years I thought I would fall in love with someone 15 years my senior. But I did. His faith, the trust in God he has, the way he worships, how he prays, is everything I could ever want in a man. I believe I was blessed because I opened my heart to Him first, and everything else was added on to it. God is a reedemer of all things. I have seen so many miracles happen since, things humans said would be impossible, were possible through Him. So no, I dont limit our God. He says it in the bible. Don't limit Him. Let His will be done, don't get frustrated because He can turn anything for good for those who love Him. And that can be anyone. Look at what He did with Paul's life. Has life been easy since I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior? No. I would be lying if I said it was. Life is not a fairytale because we live in a sinful world. But my marriage in itself has been everything we both asked for. We have faced many trials together, many of them health-related for us both, but we are still holding on to each other and Him, praying together, and lifting each other up along the way. But I know in my heart that I couldnt have gone through them with anyone else, and God knew that. He is the foundation in our marriage, our rock, and that is what has made our marriage strong. Well, my comment is getting too long here, but yes, as I've said, our God can do amazing things when we allow Him to. God bless you and hope one day you experience those wonderful miracles He can do, even if they do sometime seem like fairytales, because that is how great He is, all glory to Him always. God bless and have a nice day.
Thank you for speaking truth!
I think I was worried about my career out of college so I could pay rent and feed myself. But it took so much stress and I just wasn’t interested in dating. I’m 27 now and starting dating. I do kind of wish it was said don’t worry to much about your career. You can date first. I know it all happens for a reason though and there is a reason my interest in dating has come now. God has good plans for me!
I so appreciate this.
There’s many things in life that have seemed to come later only to understand that I wasn’t ready for those things, God shapes us with purpose.
Everyone’s journey is different, no need to judge someone’s timeline. You never know what a person has gone through.
hey allie plz do more dating culture episodes... so good.
I was 28 when I met my husband. I’m glad it took as long as it did. We are due any day with our first.
Make room in your life for the right man, don’t be a hermit, get healthy - mentally, physically, spiritually. It’ll happen for most. I believe that!
Allie, thank you for unashamedly and unreservedly speaking out against the legalization of marijuana. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Allie I love ur podcast so much!! Thank you for your hard work. I've also noticed you've lost weight and look fantastic!!! Can u share your diet and routine?!
Faith in Christ Alone are the Roots and good character and works are the FRUITS.
A bad tree can't produce good fruit.
We just need to pray for folks like this, that God will keep working on their life and that their testimony will bring more people to salvation. Anyone judging and criticizing is just sad.
I'm mid-Trib. Have been for many years. Lately I've been seeing more and more people come to this point of view and it gives me hope! Christians need to be prepared.
As a single woman in her early 30s, the best thing for women to do when they hit this wall is delete all their distractions and run straight into the arms of Jesus!! When I was in my teens and early 20s I had a problem with gluttony and distraction (dealing with an unrecognized learning disability by the public school system).
I was never the flirtatious type and very shy as a child, so I couldn't keep up in the dating world. I never really got in deep with feminism, but I will say, as a coping mechanism, I did adopt a couple feminist talking points hoping someone in my life would hear my cry for help, but they were too busy in their own lives. I have never had a man tell me I'm beautiful, or even care about how much I am working on my health now. Thanks to the red pill and MGTOW movements, men look at me and they don't see someone working on herself and working on maintaining her sexual purity while purifying the other parts of herself. I'll probably never be the woman who a man wants to spend money on. However, I am learning to be okay with that, as I am finally running full speed ahead toward the arms of Jesus!! No more of this lukewarm garbage for this woman! God is doing a lot in my life right now and that is all that matters!! I'll be single as long as God wants me single!! I trust God, not man!! His ways are higher than my ways!!
Also, I want every part of my life to point others to HIM!! When someone asks, "How?" I reply "God!" with a great big smile on my face!!
"Thanks to the red pill and MGTOW movements, men look at me and they don't see someone working on herself and working on maintaining her sexual purity while purifying the other parts of herself."
What are you talking about? The red pill didn't do shit. In your post you were too shy to "approach" men. What you think about all the other man that are lonely, fat, ugly, and virgins. Do you think they can blame women for their inadequacy?
Those critical of Nala (and Kanye and Donald and too many others) remind me of the laborers complaining about the master's generosity... "11And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, 12saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ 13But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. 15Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16So the last will be first, and the first last.” or certainly the prodigal's older brother.
You are sooo correct!! And you know what stands out to me. When God says am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me???
When it comes to celebrities "finding Jesus" I find its wise for me to just hold my tongue. I have always been skeptical of things I hear but will never deny that God can an will transform lives. It is unfortunate that so often, that seed doesn't fall on good soil. I pray this girl will be humble and bear good fruit. People who love attention struggle with pride and need God to remove that stronghold in their lives.
Amen, Allie. Your Biblical defense of this new believer brought tears to my eyes, as often happens when I read/ hear of the wonderful grace and mercy of God saving us out of our sin through no work of our own.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our trespasses from us. Praise the Lord.
Amen
I want Nala to be saved and believe God can save anyone. That said, I have concerns too. She was baptized around 12/18 and then on New Years Eve was interviewed hyping her p*rn career. Still, you could argue that sanctification just takes time. The other issue is her testimony. The idea that she walked away from all the money is complicated by the fact that she made $9 million selling sex before cashing out. On her part, selling sex to men who idolize it was really just a means to feed her own idolatry of money, and now she walks away with the idol while saying she's free of it. The message that sends to the young women contemplating OF that she talks about wanting to be a witness to really just becomes "Do OF until you've built up financial security for life and then cash out, rehabilitate your reputation, and live off the fruits." That's not applying a legalistic requirement; it's just recognizing the message she inevitably sends by holding onto the abundant rewards of her previous lifestyle. Give it time and see what happens. "You will know them by their fruits."
Maybe we need to have matchmakers for our single friends wanting marriage! It could work! 😃
Nala.. I watched her interview with Michael Knowles and it was really good. She seemed very sincere and enthusiastic. She wants to help others. Also she is married to the gentleman that she was with.. on Easter. I don’t doubt her or her testimony. I offer grace and am happy and excited for her.
Weed smoking Moms!! I hate this! Our village recently opened a pot shop after resisting for quite awhile. I guess the tax revenue was too enticing and I really think it was a terrible move! 😠
Good episode!
I also watched the Knowels interview. Nala Ray is so refreshing to listen to, her conversion, her laugh, her sweetness. Her conviction of sin, of what she did to the men who subscribed to her content, the deepest apologies to them. Im cried at seeing her apologize for her past. I'm truly moved. Praise God for his mercy!
Allie, I’m over 35, no kids, never married. I feel the first thing conservative guys think of me is I must have been hoe-ing around in my 20s and I’m a girl boss.
I didn’t want my life to turn like this, but it did. Because of my low self-esteem (due to how I was born), I didn’t truly developed confidence and grow up until I was 30. That’s when I had my first bf who then cheated on me five years later. It was such a wate of time and I’m still hurt by it.
I know Charlie and you aren’t talking about women like me.. but what man will give me his time and get to know me first before he automatically judges me based on my age and status?
The excuses is crazy. You had 15 years to find a man. Age matters to men especially if then want a lot of kids. If you want my prescription, you would possible have to lower your standards. And also bring more value up front to show any man that you are worth investing in.
@@Emmanuel_EEE well, I was very sheltered by my parents. I didn’t move out til I was in my early 30s. They were overprotective because I was born with a problem which should’ve been minor but they made a big deal out of it. They didn’t think I could be independent like my seven siblings. Most of my life, I was taught to rely on others because I was told I wasn’t capable. This upbringing molded me to become a very insecure, shy person with no confidence. I didn’t think I was good enough for guys because I knew I wasnt perfect. It wasn’t until I was 30 that a new friend pushed me to grow up and she showed me how. She was the most adventurous and confident person I’ve ever met and she inspired me to change. That was when I had my first bf who I thought I was going to marry. He made me believe we would have a future together. I was very naive and a virgin at the time, and he took advantage of that. He stole all my firsts.. and he told me he enjoyed it. Five years later, he left me to get back with his cheating ex.. He never got over her :( … I felt so betrayed, and it still hurts me a bit to this day. I was nothing but loving and loyal to him. I never yelled at him or cursed at him or hit him. In fact, he told me I was the only girlfriend he never fought with. But he believed she came back for a reason (even though she ditch him for someone else) so he left me high and dry and married her within months. Sigh…… 😔 💔
Anyway… that’s how I’m here now, over 35, single, childless, living with regrets that I didn’t grow up sooner and dated when I was younger, wishing I never got with my ex.
This is why I made the comment I did. I know a lot of conservative guys judge me right off the bat (sadly, it’s including you) without actually knowing my story. They assume all kinds of bad things about me. I wasn’t a bad person. I didn’t sleep around. I don’t smoke, party, drink. I was just dealt with a bad hand at birth and my parents didn’t know how to raise me to be a confident person. They raised me to be weak and it cost me a lot.
@@BubbleOfJelly You still are making the excuses, at least for you, you probably can get some simp man to marry you. But for most men that is not even a possibility.
@@Emmanuel_EEE I was going to write a response to you about why it’s a bad idea just to give ANY simp that comes along a chance, but I don’t think there’s a point. It doesn’t matter what I say, even if I have a good explanation. You’re not trying to understand. First you judged me, and I corrected you, and then you changed your tune and came up with “you’re making excuses.” I don’t think you really have anything to say. You just want to argue because you’re upset at women. Your response is coming from an emotional place and not a logical one.
I found myself crying listening to this. I was married and am no longer. The process of losing a family and being in my 30s, really hurt my heart. I have found myself wondering what my purpose even is.
Your purpose has always and will always be to glorify God, to worship Him in everything you do, and to just do His will each day you wake up. If you’re still living and breathing God has a purpose for you. God loves you and He will continue to walk with you.
I struggle with my divorce as well. I recently read a book by Christian author Tracie Miles, Living Unbroken: Reclaiming your Life and your Heart after Divorce. I highly recommend it.
36:53 - 37:14 Allie puts it best here. This person can do what she wants, but wouldn't it be better for herself to step back quietly from the spotlight for a time so she can adjust to her new life in relative peace and privacy?
As believers it is important for us to be hopeful when someone proclaims to be Christian. It is easy for some of us to judge whether or not someone is saved, forgetting it is Christ that will judge (us all) at the end of the day. Some may be sheep, some are goats, but it is our job to (genuinely) pray for them and hope for their salvation.
