Amen, that is what I believe about any marriage couple shall stay married and be happy is what God wanted! God bless you both so much. There is no need to get mad or angry at you both. You both are very lucky in the long term of your marriage.
As a 53 yr old black woman ….I could not agree more with everything you guys stand for…I knew I was drawn to you guys then I found out you guys were Christians…keep being you and VOCAL!!!‼️‼️‼️
I am so proud of you for coming out to yhe public about your Christian values. Not that you had to because it shows, your fruits are visible in your life. There are alot more people out there that will benefit from your honesty than those who don't like it. Keep it up because he who knows your heart is proud of you. The more say the more I am blessed by who you are and what you say. God bless you always. I also agree with you about having a meal or whatever that are same see couples. We don't have to agree with their life style but we are told to love them. God knows your heart. God bless.
Please don't let the angry people get you down. I think it's such a comfort that there are still people out there that hold on to traditional values. It means alot.
Sweet People! Keep pursuing God and live for Him. Haters are gonna hate. There are too many of us out here who knew all along who you were...our hearts recognized who you were! I love yall!! We've watched for years...well since the pandemic. Come see us in Mobile, Alabama...we have yummy bbq! I would love to hang out and have some great conversation with you. We do live only minutes from some great white sand beaches! 😊
An Englishman's perspective. In the neutral corner. traditional, respectful, loving, family, natural, warm, God, health, charity, steadfast, open-minded you could go on and on! In the other corner. Darkness, anger, jealousy, division, bitterness, sadness, hatred, closed minded, empty, unfulfilled. Me? I haven't found god, I'm white ( my bad ) smoke, a drinker of a few beers I'm doomed! Downstairs with the scary monsters for me! I shall meet this devil with a smile and simply say, excuse me do you mind I'm watching UA-cam about a family in the USA, so shut up and pass my glass of wine! This call sign is in the neutral corner 100% keep the faith guys ..
Excuse me, how did they not know your family values long before the Daily Wire show. I'm 66 years old, your family lives the life I grew up in, thank you for all you've done. You are my people, preach on!
For We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood, But Against Principalities, Against Powers, Against Rulers of the Darkness of this World, Against Spiritual Wickedness in High Places. Put On the Whole Amor of God in Jesus Name. Ephesians 6:10-17
As an 80 year old I love what you believe and let everyone believe as they want. I was raised in a family of 9, we are all different and we respect one another. I was raised much like the family you are raising.
I am a believer in God, our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ our Savior. Stick with your beliefs, and so proud of you both and your family. I always look forward to your episodes. So refreshing and entertaining. God Bless you all.
Please don’t let those people hinder your testimony. Jesus stood UP for truth and justice. LOVE you and your channel. In the coming days, you’re going to be more effective than ever.
My favorite comment against Christianity is, "The church is full of liars and hypocrites." My answer is always, "You are absolutely right. There's always room for one more!" And, "If we were perfect, we wouldn't need Jesus." I really enjoy watching your channels. In a world that's often overwhelming and crazy, your content is a welcome and wholesome escape. Keep up the great work, and continue doing what you do! God bless!
Right! Clearly, there are no hypocrites at their favorite grocery store or restaurant, their place of employment, their bank; otherwise, they couldn't frequent those places, either! 😂
You are an amazing family. I am 71 years old and It's so refreshing to see a young family with with morals, values, love of family, God and country. You are raising your children in such an exemplary way. One should be very careful raising their children now because today's education system is horrible and our society is rapidly deteriorating. You have created an amazing family, home and outreach God would be proud of. It's sad because we know that in the end times wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. You are wonderful role models and wise beyond your years. Those that are hateful to you are either jealous or truly Satan rearing his ugly head and trying to attack you and destroy you. Stay the course and know that God has your backs and there are those of us that love you, love your videos and love the fact there are still those out there that still share my values and ideals. May God bless you, watch over you, protect you and give you courage, strength and comfort during those trying times. Much respect.
Almost 65 year old grandma and agree with everything said! Love your channels! Love your normal way of living but you got your family dressed up great Melissa!
Your channel name is so fitting. There are many of us with good old souls. We want to live our lives the way we were brought up to do. With faith, family and good old fashioned values. It isn’t about making people happy, it’s about doing what we know is right.
Have to add another comment: I read in Acts this morning (Acts 14:22) “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God”. This isn’t so much a requirement of salvation, but a fact of what will happen when openly living a Christian life. Bravo to you and your family. Thank you for the encouragement and inspiration. I, for one, am staying right here. ❤
I'm a 54 year old lesbian, been with my wife for 24 years, we have a 20 yr old son who joined the Airforce and a 13 yr old daughter. I know our belief and views are different form yours, but I still love and respect you guys. keep going!!!!
Blessings to your family and I am grateful for your support of the Souza family. We can respect our diverse celebration of community turning it into a strength!
Exactly, this is how people should be. This is how it was 3.5 years ago until last election. We are all people and it shouldn't matter as long as we respect one another. People are nuts that they have to be afraid of the color of their skin, who they support, what they believe in, etc. Morals &Values, Right v Wrong should take precedence. The news stations, government, and nasty people have divided this country and it's crazy!!!
This country is still the land of the free and the home of the brave. You are both free and brave. Congratulations. I am a 75 year old woman with a history of involvement in progressive causes and I am proud of you.
People that couldn’t discern that you have traditionally conservative values were willfully ignorant. I love you guys! Keep it up and hold your ground! You’re not alone!
Christ said while here “ John 15: 18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Take this as a blessing and continue walking the way you are. You are honoring God! No one else really matters! I happen to love watching you and your family and are very proud to be a member of your channel!!
Those comments are so crazy. I have never been confused as to where your family stands. You have always been very transparent as to your beliefs and morals. Please don’t let these comments get you down. You don’t have to defend yourselves. I love your family and channel. Keep on keeping on.
To both of you; I am _SO DANG PROUD_ of you!! You just keep on being the most incredible family on here, and I promise to keep tuning in to hear your thoughts, go horseback riding with your kids, follow you while you continue to keep on flooring us with how far you have come! You do you, darlings!!
Well done Melissa and Jeremy. Standing up for the courage of your convictions is what your children need and deserve. God bless you today and all days.
I am a 76 year old great grandmother with no religious beliefs but that doesn’t mean l don’t respect peoples beliefs and opinions, it would be a poor and very boring life if everyone was bullied into having to “toe the line” by intolerant and bigoted people, stay true to yourselves. I love your family and channels and don’t let anyone spoil that for you, sending love and hugs from the UK 💕💕💕💕💕🇬🇧
I'm not a conservative. I am a person that will not put politics above my belief and faith in God. I've watched your channel for years and don't care how you vote. You have a Wonderful family period. I will be never be able to wrap my mind around the fact that people hate you just because you don't follow them and the way they want you to believe everything they believe. Respect is earned. And you have truly gained my respect for how you stand firm on your beliefs.
You know your channel is a good example for people of all political views in today's broken climate in the USA. MANY MANY people love your family and love the example you are making as parents and love your approach to building your family and its home. Then suddenly people hear you are conservative, hear you support Daily Wire content etc. and are furious. Those folks need to step back and ask... does that make your family somehow not people that are good parents, building a solid family, and a beautiful home? NOTHING changed. When people have different opinions, in particular politically, that doesn't make them bad people! Everyone has different views! We all need to show each other a LOT more grace and realize we all have so much more in common than the things that separate us.
Can you be good parents, especially to girls, when your conservative party shows women no respect, has racist views, and disrespects our veterans and country? I'm not sure that’s possible. It's ok to be conservative, but if you support Trump, that makes you a hypocrite and I can't respect that.
Our country was founded as a democratic society with both sides being able to debate the issues. Nowadays people can’t debate or compromise. It’s a shame.
The world has gone crazy! If you don’t agree with a person 100% you are called a Communist. I am so tired of this. That person cannot judge me. There is only one person that will be able to judge me and I promise we are Not that person. God says that we are to love our neighbors. Judging and name calling is not showing love. Keep doing what you do and don’t let those get you down! We love your site!!
Years ago strolling through UA-cam, I notice a little lady skinning a rabbit hanging from a tree and I clicked. I have been here ever since. I look forward to your videos every week. It is a source of encouragement to me. I'm 67 and a great grand mom and your family has been a blessing. Your family dynamics, your faith, has been an inspiration. And the fact that you acknowledge my comments😂makes my day.👏👏 I can't identify with the political admosphere, but please don't go anywhere😢😊 Happy Anniversary blessings guys.🌹💞 May your love for each other continue to grow til eternity❤🎉🍾🍷🎊🥳❤️
For those that say "I LOVE watching your channel but now that you're Nazi's.....", maybe they should ask themselves "What is it about this family that I can connect so well with them?" If they were intellectually honest. they might do a bit of soul searching and realize that the "hidden" values you exhibit are what leads them to watch and hopefully open their eyes in an "AH HA" moment. You are absolutely correct to wish them well on their way out. Keep up the great work!
that could be so.., but it could also be that the trash is taking it's self out. if you cannot have a rational discussion like an adult... "don't let the door hit you in the ..."
I never told anyone how I voted in the last two elections, but lost lots of lifelong friends and lost relationships with family members and even church family, because they "assumed" how I voted. They made it clear that they did not value my concerns and opinions, and that if I wanted a relationship with them, I needed to shut up and tow the line. I refuse to lie to maintain my social status. I won't do it.
I am not someone who comments often on any social media. I have watched your channel and enjoyed it for a long time and I especially enjoyed watching your Nashville trip. We Christians are being persecuted and deluged by angry people we may not know, or by friends, & sadly-even family members. I love your boldness, immovable faith, enjoyment of life, ministries, and love of God & family. I feel for you in this persecution, but through this others will be encouraged to persevere. Keep up the good work and I look forward to enjoying more of your content.
@@dianachylewski2906 Please register this as a comment in its own right , not at the bottom of someone else's comment. What you have to say is very important for all to read and they won't see it hidden at tge bottom of this comment. Thankyou in Jesus Name.
The scripture proclaims “The world hated Me (Jesus) and if it hated Me, it will hate you.” Also, “Great is your reward when people revile you and persecute you for My Name sake.” Wow! Think about your families great reward in Heaven! Praise Jesus! Blessings on you both and your family!
Just remember this, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”! Let the criticism just roll off your backs. We are not here to please man, but God. You two are fierce! The love shines through. Stay true to yourselves. Sending blessings and love 🙏🏼❤️
My husband is also a Minister! We have to stay strong in the Lord! This is daily the evil we encounter! Allow Him to overcome the temporal, as hard as it is at times, and continue to focus on the eternal! It is a dark world, but God is the Light in the midst of it and you help share that Light! Prayers for you and yours!!
I agree with you. I am a chaplain. Ordained minister, but I fallen the part of Moore as a chaplain and I love being a disaster Chaplain. Not to see the disaster, but to be there for the.
Pastors wife here. Yes. To it all. Christ said it would be like this. We are to live in this world but not be of it. And many will hate us for it, like they hated our Lord. So sad.
Do not change who you are. Don’t bend the knee to those foolish people. Just smile in the knowledge that the world hated our God before it hated you. Just keep your faith and know that you’re doing everything the right way. Walk in the light of the lord.
Peeps! Geesh! Our family lives debt free, keeps Christ as our center, encourages others and assists so many people thru charity too. I’ve been watching you also since you lived in your home in Washington state. Stay strong in your faith, and keep up what you are doing! There are so so many of us out here! Totally agree with everything you both are saying! There is no mutual respect anymore!
22:50 I was raised Baptist and married a Catholic. I've been to a few southern black churches and you will not find a more energetic worship environment than this. It's amazing.
My way of seeing things is " I agree to disagree " and " appreciate that I am I and you are you". God has made us all in his image and yet we each are individuals
@@soletteperry3279If your “perspective” is your “truth” and “not dependent on facts” then that means that you bend truth to fit your perspective. So, you glance up from watching your feet make awesome dance moves and see a car coming on the horizon from a long way off you have your headphones on playing your favourite hip-hop, you continue dancing down the middle of the road while the driver approaches adjusting her makeup in the rearview mirror your truth is: that car is the size of an ant 🐜? Her truth is she looks ever so beautiful in the mirror, I fear for your safety! The real truth is you’re dead, she’s in jail.
If people want to be mad at you or dislike you over your beliefs or values then let them. The ONLY opinions that should matter to you are of those within the walls of your home and immediate family such as parents / grandparents. At the end of the day, you all do you and ignore the noise :) and Happy Birthday (even belated) to all of you and Happy Anniversary as well.
I turned to this UA-cam channel because of the hard work this family does now that I see where their views are I am now a subscriber. Great job and keep showing the American dream. Please keep putting God first
We are retired Air Force and all my family in Portland Oregon refuse to even TALK to me and my husband because we share the values that are more conservative. Unreal🇺🇸🙏
The closer you live to the epicenter of a Lefticity, the more you see the extreme reactions to anything/anyone that threatens their reality. I'm sorry that's happened. 🙏😊
God bless you, you are living your faith.. it is not easy but God knows best. We are his servants. There is no greater leader. I admit it is getting harder to live in the faith but I know it is the only true way.❤❤❤❤❤
We looked for property in Northern Idaho.. Missed the mark price wise..we found acreage An hour North of Spokane.. appreciate you 2 sharing your story.. My husband doesn't want our lives on line so I'm respectful of that..I don't show him
We live just above you in Washington, many Portlanders moved north to get away from the Shenanigans happening in Portland caused by their way of thinking and who they voted into office. They brought their bad behaviors with them and their votes to an area/town/small cities that is very conservative.
As a Minister in the south it is so refreshing to see a channel like yours your Faith is Heartwarming , Please keep doing what you do you are inspiring to us all.
Those that have commented that you have changed have not truly been following you all. Thank you for sharing and God will bless you for speaking the truth.
I am so stinking proud of you guys! It's so hard holding onto our traditional values. Stay the course, we are. Happy anniversary. The political climate is so bad now.I put it all in God's hands. I wish I could give you guys a big hug.
Since you moved from Las Vegas and found your dream property in N Idaho we have been watching your videos. From the beginning we saw your passion, your commitment to family and compassion towards your own family n people in your community. Knew you SHINED with the light of Christ. Keep standing tall and be encouraged, because so many of us respect your kindness n love towards all people. Your babies are BEAUTIFUL and you are bringing them up to be lovely, compassionate souls. Hard working just like their parents. My hubby n I never miss an episode. STAY STRONG God is so GOOD! We aren’t going ANYWHERE… Promise ❤
I’m 66 years old and I think you guys are amazing! My husband and I are Christians and conservative. God bless you and your family! Keep standing up for your beliefs and speaking up.
I am a 68 year old African American Female who has watch your channel periodically. We all have to be who we are. None of us are the same and fit into a Cookie Cutter Box; at Least we shouldn’t be. We are programmed by Society to see people in certain ways. I to would be considered a Conservative. I truly believe in “Family Values” yet, I will not just look at what the Politicians says; I will also look at how They Really Lives their Life. We are told to Pray for those who have the Authority over Us. God Answers Prayers!!
Happy (although belated) anniversary to you both. The football mentality that so very many people run with is troubling to witness. It is a hurdle many will choose not to overcome. The mindset of "you're with us, or you're against us". Many things must change, most importantly the hearts which are hardened. I have the feeling that at this moment in history there has never been so many of the population whom are currently struggling in identity crisises. Take care & a big group hug sent to y'all. God Bless. ✌️
You might not realize it, but you two are at the tip of the spear in the war for Christianity. It is a fight and it takes strength like you have to prevail! God wins whether a person is with him or not!❤
Being a USArmy MP Veteran, a Christian and a Patriot I am grateful for podcast like you. We need more people like you, you are an inspiration to this country.
Continue on! Run the race as to win the prize, finish strong! A Brother in Christ, married, home-schooled 6 kids through 8th grade, then a Christian High school, and 4 went to Christian colleges. God is good all the time. May HE continue to bless you! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!
I have so much to say about this video but I am so tired right now. I will say 🙌🏼 thank you for not bending or hiding who you are I’m so impressed how you stood up for your selves. I ❤ your channel I love how you are. I will always love coming here and listening. 🤦🏼♀️ I just don’t understand all the angry negative people. Ugh. You and your family are awesome. ❤️
You guys walk the walk very publicly! We need more people with a platform to stand up for basic decency. When I was younger you really didn’t know what your neighbors political views were. You just liked them for who they were. Love your family so much! Keep doing what you do!❤
I stopped posting anything that I considered controversial, not because I shy away from those kinds of conversations, but because the bashing turned personal. There are areas that I disagree with you, but it's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Stay strong!
I appreciate you guys so much! I just don't understand why "haters" and "ankle biters" always have to try and throw strife into believers' lives. They just need to log off!
Your morals are my morals. Watching your videos makes me feel good and remind me of the way I was raised by my parents and the times that I grew up. Thank you so much for all your hard work in the production of your videos.
Good for you for being able to separate the two. Don't get people who cant just agree to disagree and live and let live. Why make people enemies just because they don't agree with you , just dont get it. Anyway, good for you.
I don’t have to agree with you on everything to like you or respect you…proud of you for standing up for your convictions 🩵 Wishing your family every good thing in life..
I completely argued with your comment. I too have a complet.y different beliefs the the channel but still love them and wish they continue with Thierry beliefs
Amen to this...keep doing you! I love your content and anyone that didn't already know that you are Christians hasn't paid attention. You all are a WONDERFUL family!! Sending you much support, love and admiration!!
I've been watching you for years from Thailand. We've lived there over 45 years. Feel like you guys are our friends! Enjoyed your move, house building and watching your kids grow. don't let the critics define you. Get your value from your Lord. You're awesome!
As a woman living in Australia I thought American was the land of the free so it’s hard to understand why so many are angry when others have a different point of view . I don’t agree with all of your views however , I respect your right to have a different view of what’s happening over there . I love your show and thoroughly enjoy watching your children grow . They’re very respectful and caring children and you both have so many reasons to be super proud of them all . Well done guys , keep doing what you’re doing . ❤❤
America is the Great Experiment. From what I understand, our founding fathers weren't sure it would last long. We have outlasted their wildest dreams, and here we inch toward socialism. The hatred oozing out of ppl is absolutely disturbing. The beauty of The Experiment was being able to have discussions, see different sides and (shocker) consider them. America is not what it was. Thats what you are seeing. (And your comment was respectful... No worries there.)
As a fellow Australian Yes they have their God given right to be Christian What I do not agree with that politics & Christianity go together .. I disagree that America has freedom The freedom of speech does not seem to go both ways .. And note their rhetoric, the enemy Who is the enemy? You speak of ? Revering to the enemy is very decisive .. Those who do not agree with your Christian nationalism? We can still have our belief in God, we can it can still have our own personal relationship with God, which I believe I have. I would have to add this couple says their podcast is not political, my Question is why are you interviewing conservatives that are very involved in politics. I find that your comments and self defence in this matter is not consistent. In relation to your voting ? You say you watched an independent doc, You say it showed non Americans saying they are registered to vote How is that possible? When you know that cannot be done without I’d & you know that had been tightened.. Did you ever think if they have been in the country for five mins They did not speak or understand the ? Myself, I base my decision not on hearsay but factual evidence !!! This is what is concerning !! We have convictions also, that does not make us any lesser than you ..
Love the whole episode! Conversation at 55 min mark (at work so can't quote) is precisely why I have watched every podcast from the start and look forward to Wednesdays. Also love GSL!! Please keep up the great work and God bless your family! ❤
Your Family is a beautiful example for us all with your values and honesty…The world is crazy and dark..Keep shining your light ..There are many of us shining ours with you!!! Love the Vincent Family from Ohio
In the latter days “Good will be called evil and evil called good!” It’s so wonderful for me to have you take a stand for your faith and convictions. Because of this truth regarding good and evil we know only part of your audience will appreciate your content. Those are your true UA-cam family/followers. Keep speaking the truth. I know the Lord appreciates the non-fence sitters. ☺️❤️🙏✝️
I have this sentence on a post-it note on my desk at work and when I first heard it I have never agreed with a sentiment so much ever. "People need to learn to be able to disagree again and not hate for it." The context of this was that since the pandemic America has evolved into decisive attitudes towards everything we see and touch on a daily basis. I can still love my neighbor even if we don't agree on everything...to me that is having grace.
You two are good together, we can tell. Life only gets better and faster as you go. My Hubby and I have been together 45 years this year. I love him more every day. When I look at him, I still see the wonderful young man I married in 1979. Making an effort to say thank you and I love you are key components of appreciation.
It is such a blessing to see Christian people standing up for their belief. Stay strong.
Fully agree. And it's a wonderful world where human beings of all faiths (or even none) are able to stand up for their respective beliefs 😊
AMEN & AMEN !!!
Amen
Amen, that is what I believe about any marriage couple shall stay married and be happy is what God wanted! God bless you both so much. There is no need to get mad or angry at you both. You both are very lucky in the long term of your marriage.
Thank you, God smiles at you. Have a wonderful weekend

My favorite comment against Christianity is, "The church is full of liars and hypocrites." My answer is always, "You are absolutely right. There's always room for one more!" And, "If we were perfect, we wouldn't need Jesus."
I really enjoy watching your channels. In a world that's often overwhelming and crazy, your content is a welcome and wholesome escape. Keep up the great work, and continue doing what you do! God bless!
Yes! Thank you. God bless.
I enjoy watching you on your journey, stay true to yourselves!!❤
Right! Clearly, there are no hypocrites at their favorite grocery store or restaurant, their place of employment, their bank; otherwise, they couldn't frequent those places, either! 😂
My favorite argument against Christianity is; it’s not true…historically, scientifically, logically, and morally.
And so are the ones that don't go to church. They need to look in the mirror
Thank You So Much for Standing for Your Faith… ❤️👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏
You are an amazing family. I am 71 years old and It's so refreshing to see a young family with with morals, values, love of family, God and country. You are raising your children in such an exemplary way. One should be very careful raising their children now because today's education system is horrible and our society is rapidly deteriorating. You have created an amazing family, home and outreach God would be proud of. It's sad because we know that in the end times wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. You are wonderful role models and wise beyond your years. Those that are hateful to you are either jealous or truly Satan rearing his ugly head and trying to attack you and destroy you. Stay the course and know that God has your backs and there are those of us that love you, love your videos and love the fact there are still those out there that still share my values and ideals.
May God bless you, watch over you, protect you and give you courage, strength and comfort during those trying times.
Much respect.

So very well said!
Almost 65 year old grandma and agree with everything said! Love your channels! Love your normal way of living but you got your family dressed up great Melissa!
I agree with everything you said. Isn't it a wonderful thing to see that we still have family values that the US used to have! Good words!
Your channel name is so fitting. There are many of us with good old souls. We want to live our lives the way we were brought up to do. With faith, family and good old fashioned values. It isn’t about making people happy, it’s about doing what we know is right.
♥️
Amen 💗
Yes yes
Amen❣️ We love you all❣️
Amen
Father please bless this family for taking a stand. Thank you for standing up for your good family values.
Have to add another comment: I read in Acts this morning (Acts 14:22) “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God”. This isn’t so much a requirement of salvation, but a fact of what will happen when openly living a Christian life. Bravo to you and your family. Thank you for the encouragement and inspiration. I, for one, am staying right here. ❤
Ditto
Amen sister 🙏💞🙏💞
You guys have a million more people WITH you than against you.............please never leave:) We love y'all and appreciate you all!!!!
where did you get those numbers?
I'm a 54 year old lesbian, been with my wife for 24 years, we have a 20 yr old son who joined the Airforce and a 13 yr old daughter. I know our belief and views are different form yours, but I still love and respect you guys. keep going!!!!
Blessings to your family and I am grateful for your support of the Souza family. We can respect our diverse celebration of community turning it into a strength!
Thank you for your comment. My niece and her wife have beautiful children and support the same family values that I do. They are very kind and giving.
Exactly, this is how people should be. This is how it was 3.5 years ago until last election. We are all people and it shouldn't matter as long as we respect one another. People are nuts that they have to be afraid of the color of their skin, who they support, what they believe in, etc. Morals &Values, Right v Wrong should take precedence. The news stations, government, and nasty people have divided this country and it's crazy!!!
I respect you, and this comment. This is how we should treat everyone. We don’t have to agree and it does not make you or I less of a person!
You should try the north Georgia mountains.you would like it much better than Tennessee.
This country is still the land of the free and the home of the brave. You are both free and brave. Congratulations. I am a 75 year old woman with a history of involvement in progressive causes and I am proud of you.
People that couldn’t discern that you have traditionally conservative values were willfully ignorant. I love you guys! Keep it up and hold your ground! You’re not alone!
Christ said while here “ John 15: 18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Take this as a blessing and continue walking the way you are. You are honoring God! No one else really matters! I happen to love watching you and your family and are very proud to be a member of your channel!!
Now I know why I like you guys! Like minded people, and a beautiful family
Those comments are so crazy. I have never been confused as to where your family stands. You have always been very transparent as to your beliefs and morals. Please don’t let these comments get you down. You don’t have to defend yourselves. I love your family and channel. Keep on keeping on.
I am so proud of you both
To both of you; I am _SO DANG PROUD_ of you!! You just keep on being the most incredible family on here, and I promise to keep tuning in to hear your thoughts, go horseback riding with your kids, follow you while you continue to keep on flooring us with how far you have come! You do you, darlings!!
Well done Melissa and Jeremy. Standing up for the courage of your convictions is what your children need and deserve. God bless you today and all days.
I am a 76 year old great grandmother with no religious beliefs but that doesn’t mean l don’t respect peoples beliefs and opinions, it would be a poor and very boring life if everyone was bullied into having to “toe the line” by intolerant and bigoted people, stay true to yourselves. I love your family and channels and don’t let anyone spoil that for you, sending love and hugs from the UK 💕💕💕💕💕🇬🇧
I'm not a conservative. I am a person that will not put politics above my belief and faith in God. I've watched your channel for years and don't care how you vote. You have a Wonderful family period. I will be never be able to wrap my mind around the fact that people hate you just because you don't follow them and the way they want you to believe everything they believe. Respect is earned. And you have truly gained my respect for how you stand firm on your beliefs.
What is the subject of the last episode? I don't know what and why the hate.
They went on the Daily wire which is a Conservative / Republican based show.
@@makeuplover6852merci.
You know your channel is a good example for people of all political views in today's broken climate in the USA. MANY MANY people love your family and love the example you are making as parents and love your approach to building your family and its home. Then suddenly people hear you are conservative, hear you support Daily Wire content etc. and are furious. Those folks need to step back and ask... does that make your family somehow not people that are good parents, building a solid family, and a beautiful home? NOTHING changed. When people have different opinions, in particular politically, that doesn't make them bad people! Everyone has different views! We all need to show each other a LOT more grace and realize we all have so much more in common than the things that separate us.
BRAVO!!!!
The climate in the US is Broken because of the Gaslighting of the left
Exactly Love 🙌🏼🙏🏼💯👏🏼⚓ ❤️
Well Said 👏🏼
Can you be good parents, especially to girls, when your conservative party shows women no respect, has racist views, and disrespects our veterans and country? I'm not sure that’s possible. It's ok to be conservative, but if you support Trump, that makes you a hypocrite and
I can't respect that.
Our country was founded as a democratic society with both sides being able to debate the issues. Nowadays people can’t debate or compromise. It’s a shame.
The world has gone crazy! If you don’t agree with a person 100% you are called a Communist. I am so tired of this. That person cannot judge me. There is only one person that will be able to judge me and I promise we are Not that person.
God says that we are to love our neighbors. Judging and name calling is not showing love.
Keep doing what you do and don’t let those get you down! We love your site!!
Thank you for being honest and true to yourselves and to God, no matter what other people want to hear. And, thank you!!!! for not apologizing!!!+
Years ago strolling through UA-cam, I notice a little lady skinning a rabbit hanging from a tree and I clicked. I have been here ever since. I look forward to your videos every week. It is a source of encouragement to me. I'm 67 and a great grand mom and your family has been a blessing.
Your family dynamics, your faith, has been an inspiration. And the fact that you acknowledge my comments😂makes my day.👏👏
I can't identify with the political admosphere, but please don't go anywhere😢😊
Happy Anniversary blessings guys.🌹💞 May your love for each other continue to grow til eternity❤🎉🍾🍷🎊🥳❤️
Gosh, I like you two all the more. Please, do not ever apologize for your convictions, stay true to your beliefs and never let go! Hugs 🤍
Crying 2 seconds in… praise the Father for servant hearts like yours!
For those that say "I LOVE watching your channel but now that you're Nazi's.....", maybe they should ask themselves "What is it about this family that I can connect so well with them?" If they were intellectually honest. they might do a bit of soul searching and realize that the "hidden" values you exhibit are what leads them to watch and hopefully open their eyes in an "AH HA" moment. You are absolutely correct to wish them well on their way out. Keep up the great work!
Yes! Exactly! Looking into a mirror for some should truly reveal their own issues!
that could be so.., but it could also be that the trash is taking it's self out. if you cannot have a rational discussion like an adult... "don't let the door hit you in the ..."
I never told anyone how I voted in the last two elections, but lost lots of lifelong friends and lost relationships with family members and even church family, because they "assumed" how I voted. They made it clear that they did not value my concerns and opinions, and that if I wanted a relationship with them, I needed to shut up and tow the line. I refuse to lie to maintain my social status. I won't do it.
Good for you! Maybe that's God ridding you of of trash that could spoil you too. Stay true to you & Almighty! 😊🙏🏻
You can almost expect non Christians to be that way, but church family, that's so sad. The devil has made his way into the churches.
I am not someone who comments often on any social media. I have watched your channel and enjoyed it for a long time and I especially enjoyed watching your Nashville trip. We Christians are being persecuted and deluged by angry people we may not know, or by friends, & sadly-even family members. I love your boldness, immovable faith, enjoyment of life, ministries, and love of God & family. I feel for you in this persecution, but through this others will be encouraged to persevere. Keep up the good work and I look forward to enjoying more of your content.
And how obvious what side they were on.

Please register this as a comment in its own right , not at the bottom of someone else's comment. What you have to say is very important for all to read and they won't see it hidden at tge bottom of this comment. Thankyou in Jesus Name.
I'm very sorry you were judged by others. Glad you're taking a healthy attitude toward it! Love you!
Just started watching, only a few seconds in...but I just want to say if you quit the haters win. There are so many that want you to stay.
The scripture proclaims “The world hated Me (Jesus) and if it hated Me, it will hate you.” Also, “Great is your reward when people revile you and persecute you for My Name sake.”
Wow! Think about your families great reward in Heaven! Praise Jesus! Blessings on you both and your family!
AMEN!!
Just remember this, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”! Let the criticism just roll off your backs. We are not here to please man, but God. You two are fierce! The love shines through. Stay true to yourselves. Sending blessings and love 🙏🏼❤️
Amen
Happy Anniversary Beautiful Souls!! 💛🌞🌻🥂🎉
Happy anniversary!!
My husband is also a Minister! We have to stay strong in the Lord!
This is daily the evil we encounter! Allow Him to overcome the temporal, as hard as it is at times, and continue to focus on the eternal! It is a dark world, but God is the Light in the midst of it and you help share that Light! Prayers for you and yours!!
I agree with you. I am a chaplain. Ordained minister, but I fallen the part of Moore as a chaplain and I love being a disaster Chaplain. Not to see the disaster, but to be there for the.
Pastors wife here. Yes. To it all. Christ said it would be like this. We are to live in this world but not be of it. And many will hate us for it, like they hated our Lord. So sad.
DON'T PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP! You don't need them , but we can Pray for them!
Do not change who you are. Don’t bend the knee to those foolish people. Just smile in the knowledge that the world hated our God before it hated you. Just keep your faith and know that you’re doing everything the right way. Walk in the light of the lord.
Peeps! Geesh! Our family lives debt free, keeps Christ as our center, encourages others and assists so many people thru charity too. I’ve been watching you also since you lived in your home in Washington state. Stay strong in your faith, and keep up what you are doing! There are so so many of us out here!
Totally agree with everything you both are saying!
There is no mutual respect anymore!
22:50 I was raised Baptist and married a Catholic. I've been to a few southern black churches and you will not find a more energetic worship environment than this. It's amazing.
My way of seeing things is " I agree to disagree " and " appreciate that I am I and you are you". God has made us all in his image and yet we each are individuals
@@soletteperry3279If your “perspective” is your “truth” and “not dependent on facts” then that means that you bend truth to fit your perspective. So, you glance up from watching your feet make awesome dance moves and see a car coming on the horizon from a long way off you have your headphones on playing your favourite hip-hop, you continue dancing down the middle of the road while the driver approaches adjusting her makeup in the rearview mirror your truth is: that car is the size of an ant 🐜? Her truth is she looks ever so beautiful in the mirror, I fear for your safety! The real truth is you’re dead, she’s in jail.
If people want to be mad at you or dislike you over your beliefs or values then let them. The ONLY opinions that should matter to you are of those within the walls of your home and immediate family such as parents / grandparents. At the end of the day, you all do you and ignore the noise :) and Happy Birthday (even belated) to all of you and Happy Anniversary as well.
I turned to this UA-cam channel because of the hard work this family does now that I see where their views are I am now a subscriber. Great job and keep showing the American dream. Please keep putting God first
We are retired Air Force and all my family in Portland Oregon refuse to even TALK to me and my husband because we share the values that are more conservative. Unreal🇺🇸🙏
As an Oregonian, I'm truly sorry. I'm watching our beautiful state be destroyed by the Woke Leftist idealogy. It's heartbreaking 💔
The closer you live to the epicenter of a Lefticity, the more you see the extreme reactions to anything/anyone that threatens their reality.
I'm sorry that's happened. 🙏😊
God bless you, you are living your faith.. it is not easy but God knows best. We are his servants. There is no greater leader. I admit it is getting harder to live in the faith but I know it is the only true way.❤❤❤❤❤
We looked for property in Northern Idaho.. Missed the mark price wise..we found acreage An hour North of Spokane.. appreciate you 2 sharing your story.. My husband doesn't want our lives on line so I'm respectful of that..I don't show him
We live just above you in Washington, many Portlanders moved north to get away from the Shenanigans happening in Portland caused by their way of thinking and who they voted into office. They brought their bad behaviors with them and their votes to an area/town/small cities that is very conservative.
As a Minister in the south it is so refreshing to see a channel like yours your Faith is Heartwarming , Please keep doing what you do you are inspiring to us all.
Amen Jeremy & Melissa you are right in your beliefs & I am with you
Those that have commented that you have changed have not truly been following you all. Thank you for sharing and God will bless you for speaking the truth.
Love you guys! I’m with ya 100%
I am so stinking proud of you guys! It's so hard holding onto our traditional values. Stay the course, we are. Happy anniversary. The political climate is so bad now.I put it all in God's hands. I wish I could give you guys a big hug.
My husband and I have been together almost 53 years - just celebrated our 51st anniversary. Y’all are just getting started!
Haters gonna hate! You go where the Lord tells you to go! ❤ God is good!! Blessings to you and your family!
Since you moved from Las Vegas and found your dream property in N Idaho we have been watching your videos. From the beginning we saw your passion, your commitment to family and compassion towards your own family n people in your community. Knew you SHINED with the light of Christ. Keep standing tall and be encouraged, because so many of us respect your kindness n love towards all people. Your babies are BEAUTIFUL and you are bringing them up to be lovely, compassionate souls. Hard working just like their parents. My hubby n I never miss an episode. STAY STRONG God is so GOOD! We aren’t going ANYWHERE…
Promise ❤
I’m 66 years old and I think you guys are amazing!
My husband and I are Christians and conservative.
God bless you and your family! Keep standing up for your beliefs and speaking up.
I am a 68 year old African American Female who has watch your channel periodically. We all have to be who we are. None of us are the same and fit into a Cookie Cutter Box; at Least we shouldn’t be. We are programmed by Society to see people in certain ways. I to would be considered a Conservative. I truly believe in “Family Values” yet, I will not just look at what the Politicians says; I will also look at how They Really Lives their Life. We are told to Pray for those who have the Authority over Us. God Answers Prayers!!
Happy (although belated) anniversary to you both. The football mentality that so very many people run with is troubling to witness. It is a hurdle many will choose not to overcome. The mindset of "you're with us, or you're against us". Many things must change, most importantly the hearts which are hardened. I have the feeling that at this moment in history there has never been so many of the population whom are currently struggling in identity crisises. Take care & a big group hug sent to y'all. God Bless.
✌️
You might not realize it, but you two are at the tip of the spear in the war for Christianity. It is a fight and it takes strength like you have to prevail! God wins whether a person is with him or not!❤
Being a USArmy MP Veteran, a Christian and a Patriot I am grateful for podcast like you. We need more people like you, you are an inspiration to this country.
Retired Army MP myself.
Thank you both for your services ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏
@@ROBINstrawBERRYwine It was an honor and thank you for being a patriot!
@@Bannachs thank you for your service 🫡
I'm with you 100% dad..God matters in everything especially our kids and this country.
Continue on! Run the race as to win the prize, finish strong! A Brother in Christ, married, home-schooled 6 kids through 8th grade, then a Christian High school, and 4 went to Christian colleges. God is good all the time. May HE continue to bless you! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!
I love your family. I love your values and you standing up for God. Our country needs God in their lives. I will be praying for all of you.
I have so much to say about this video but I am so tired right now. I will say 🙌🏼 thank you for not bending or hiding who you are I’m so impressed how you stood up for your selves. I ❤ your channel I love how you are. I will always love coming here and listening. 🤦🏼♀️ I just don’t understand all the angry negative people. Ugh. You and your family are awesome. ❤️
Stay true to yourselves.
Stick to your ways.. Don't give in please it's so nice to see someone share my same feelings that is my age. It's hard to come across now days❤
You guys walk the walk very publicly! We need more people with a platform to stand up for basic decency. When I was younger you really didn’t know what your neighbors political views were. You just liked them for who they were. Love your family so much! Keep doing what you do!❤
Jeremy has such a kind heart so soft and open to the Holy Spirit!! God Bless You All so much!!!
I agree❤
I stopped posting anything that I considered controversial, not because I shy away from those kinds of conversations, but because the bashing turned personal. There are areas that I disagree with you, but it's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Stay strong!
It's so refreshing and good to see a strong family and a couple still being happy after 21 years together! Such a game changer in these days!
I appreciate you guys so much! I just don't understand why "haters" and "ankle biters" always have to try and throw strife into believers' lives. They just need to log off!
Your morals are my morals. Watching your videos makes me feel good and remind me of the way I was raised by my parents and the times that I grew up. Thank you so much for all your hard work in the production of your videos.
Me too same morals
I love that you stand up for your beliefs - much appreciated! Praying extra blessings over your family!
I am a Baptist Minister and I like watching you.
I'm a very die-hard Democrat but I absolutely love all of your videos and love the way you raise your family.
I used to be as well until I realized voting for policy instead of party affiliation or personality was wiser.
Good for you for being able to separate the two. Don't get people who cant just agree to disagree and live and let live. Why make people enemies just because they don't agree with you , just dont get it. Anyway, good for you.
I receive such a blessing when I watch y'all. Don't stop please! Love from Mississippi Mrs. Tami
I don’t have to agree with you on everything to like you or respect you…proud of you for standing up for your convictions 🩵
Wishing your family every good thing in life..
I completely argued with your comment. I too have a complet.y different beliefs the the channel but still love them and wish they continue with Thierry beliefs
Never back down from GOD, the devil wants you defeated. Stay the course. Great show.
Amen to this...keep doing you! I love your content and anyone that didn't already know that you are Christians hasn't paid attention. You all are a WONDERFUL family!! Sending you much support, love and admiration!!
It is beautiful and simple and from the Lord: You are One. And, what an incredible podcast! I took notes!! Thank you! Happy Anniversary
I've been watching you for years from Thailand. We've lived there over 45 years. Feel like you guys are our friends! Enjoyed your move, house building and watching your kids grow. don't let the critics define you. Get your value from your Lord. You're awesome!
Your content and family values is the main reason, I watch your program. I find it uplifting.
Deep truth! Thank you for your boldness. It's encouraging!
Stay strong we serve an Awesome God
As a woman living in Australia I thought American was the land of the free so it’s hard to understand why so many are angry when others have a different point of view . I don’t agree with all of your views however , I respect your right to have a different view of what’s happening over there . I love your show and thoroughly enjoy watching your children grow . They’re very respectful and caring children and you both have so many reasons to be super proud of them all . Well done guys , keep doing what you’re doing . ❤❤
@@MyHeart1955 I’m sorry if I offended you or anyone else , that was not my intention .
America is the Great Experiment. From what I understand, our founding fathers weren't sure it would last long. We have outlasted their wildest dreams, and here we inch toward socialism. The hatred oozing out of ppl is absolutely disturbing. The beauty of The Experiment was being able to have discussions, see different sides and (shocker) consider them. America is not what it was. Thats what you are seeing. (And your comment was respectful... No worries there.)
As a fellow Australian
Yes they have their God given right to be Christian
What I do not agree with that politics & Christianity go together ..
I disagree that America has freedom
The freedom of speech does not seem to go both ways ..
And note their rhetoric, the enemy
Who is the enemy? You speak of ?
Revering to the enemy is very decisive ..
Those who do not agree with your Christian nationalism?
We can still have our belief in God, we can it can still have our own personal relationship with God, which I believe I have.
I would have to add this couple says their podcast is not political, my Question is why are you interviewing conservatives that are very involved in politics.
I find that your comments and self defence in this matter is not consistent.
In relation to your voting ?
You say you watched an independent doc,
You say it showed non Americans saying they are registered to vote
How is that possible? When you know that cannot be done without I’d & you know that had been tightened..
Did you ever think if they have been in the country for five mins
They did not speak or understand the ?
Myself, I base my decision not on hearsay but factual evidence !!!
This is what is concerning !!
We have convictions also, that does not make us any lesser than you ..
Never apologize for your faith. God will see you through everything.
DO NOT CHANGE YOU GUYS ARE AN INSPIRATION.......We love you the way you guys are and will keep on supporting you. Great podcast.
Love the whole episode! Conversation at 55 min mark (at work so can't quote) is precisely why I have watched every podcast from the start and look forward to Wednesdays. Also love GSL!! Please keep up the great work and God bless your family! ❤
Your Family is a beautiful example for us all with your values and honesty…The world is crazy and dark..Keep shining your light ..There are many of us shining ours with you!!! Love the Vincent Family from Ohio
"Never gonna happen", best way to live. Sticking to our values define how important those values are to us.
If God is for us, who can be against us? Stay strong Souza family. Love you guys.
When I am confronted in a negative way I just smile and tell them I will pray for you daily.
In the latter days “Good will be called evil and evil called good!”
It’s so wonderful for me to have you take a stand for your faith and convictions. Because of this truth regarding good and evil we know only part of your audience will appreciate your content. Those are your true UA-cam family/followers. Keep speaking the truth. I know the Lord appreciates the non-fence sitters. ☺️❤️🙏✝️
You can't please everyone. Just be you! We love you!❤
I have this sentence on a post-it note on my desk at work and when I first heard it I have never agreed with a sentiment so much ever.
"People need to learn to be able to disagree again and not hate for it." The context of this was that since the pandemic America has evolved into decisive attitudes towards everything we see and touch on a daily basis. I can still love my neighbor even if we don't agree on everything...to me that is having grace.
You two are good together, we can tell. Life only gets better and faster as you go. My Hubby and I have been together 45 years this year. I love him more every day. When I look at him, I still see the wonderful young man I married in 1979. Making an effort to say thank you and I love you are key components of appreciation.
It's beautiful to see you guys open your hearts & life to us & witness your love/family grow/mature. Well done! Happy Anniversary & God bless ❤
I’m so encouraged by you and your family. Please don’t change.
