Needless to say, I'm still alive and well.

    I'm sitting behind a desk all day, and the only time I feel alive is when I'm 50 feet up a tree feeling the sway as the top goes off when I do weekend work. I'm not sure if I'm depressed, burned out or missed my calling, but these are the videos that get me through the week. Thanks buddy. 🙂

    Sooooo true! The other day I was doing a clearing job. My “internal voice” told me how to proceed with the removals. The contractor in charge of the excavation wants to “just push over” a huge ash leaning over the neighbors property. It has a split with two leaders so no hinge wood and a very heavy lean. Decided to walk away and have another tree company bring in a crane. Made everyone mad but I need to listen to that “voice” when it speaks to me!

    "Depends on how good we are at listening..." ( to the holy Spirit). I identify with you 100%! So many things in my life work out for the good that could easily be seen as near misses. I've told numerous people that I feel so blessed even with the "small things" in life bc God cares about those too! I believe when we make a genuine effort to honor God by the things that we do and the way that we do it, he blesses that effort. Will things happen sometimes? Most likely - but he's bigger than those problems.

    Thanks for keeping it real August! You have always walked with grace and humility whenever you have talked about your faith on the channel and I'm sure that has had some unbelievers pondering. The gospel is the purest form of freedom! By putting our faith in Jesus we don't need to worry about if we are "doing enough" to grow the church. Living in radical freedom and pure unconditional love that can only come through Christ is something that can be seen even when words are hard.

    Thanks for this video. Most of us have dark feelings about the future we may face.
    No matter what happens in our world, many of us can be optimistic because of our faith in God and Jesus.
    I think of the most eloquent analogy, about the man that was on trial for murder, and upon his conviction and then hearing the judge read out the sentence...... death, quietly a man stood up and stated that he would take the man's place and be executed so that the condemned man could go free, Imagine the feelings that the man had, knowing that someone sacrificed himself to save him.
    If it were me, I would do anything I could to glorify the man who gave his life for a rotton lowlife like me.

I know there is no good in me save that which comes from Him, and He has done so much good in me and through me over the years, as he has with you. Great words that you brought in this video, Thank you! and Thank God for them!

    I'm an Atheist, which purely means I don't believe in God or a divine paradigm, but that doesn't mean I don't have respect for other people's beliefs. Anyone can have and live by kind and fair morals, just like anyone from any background can do the opposite.
    Keep up the good work legend, my next upgrade will be a MB 2.0 I think 😊

    It takes a lot of faith to stay in a dangerous profession week after week, year after year. After so many years that faith starts leaking out of everything you do and say. It just becomes the biggest part of who you are, because it's the power that gives you life, and abundant life at that! Keep up the good work Brother!

    little by little I have been humbled by life and its lessons and miracles...........and your talk rings more than true with me...tree work is interesting to me, but the dose of your life experience has much more value...thanks Mr August

    @mitchanderson931 3 місяці тому

    You might find it interesting that I bumped into your channel and found it interesting, but being a Christian myself, when I heard little mustard seeds you referenced to acknowledging God made me take interest. Not just for superficial reasons but because when we find people who create content who are also followers of Christ, we know we're unlikely to see someone intentionally or unintentionally subverting our faith. After watching more often for a while due to this revelation, I saw the episode where you used Crowder's "Back to the Garden" as a bed under your video and a) I loved the music and b) I realized that you weren't one of those folks who just makes a superficial passing mention of faith but instead it was actually a part of your life. '
    Thank you for being unafraid and genuine and I support you just creating good content and fitting elements of your faith in as appropriate.
    Well done and keep emulating 1 Thessalonians 4:10-12

But we are called by the father to evangelize. What we say has a real effect of the hearts of our neighbors. When I first started watching your videos in 2015 I was an angry atheist and it was the things I heard you and other men I respect say about god and their faith that softened my heart and bought me to Jesus. Thank you for speaking up my friend.
