Hi Nikki! Just getting around to watching this video and I have a quick question for you -- Just as you mentioned that taking the guns away from people would not stop children being murdered, rather, it would only push people into a different means of murdering children... couldn't the same be said regarding abortion? Making abortions illegal is not going to simply end abortion once and for all.....it would only end medical abortions. People can and will find other, far more dangerous and horrific ways to terminate their pregnancy and it could end in not one life lost, but two. so why not just leave the decision up to them? food for thought.
You and I have so much in common with our values and beliefs, I am completely convinced we would be best friends if we lived close to one another 😂 I love that you speak out on these things and are so brave to speak your mind and heart. I have watched you for YEARS but I am so much more of a supporter as the years have gone on. You have great character and hope you continue to inspire others!
Wow 🥺 thank you so much for this! I truly appreciate your kind words of encouragement and support… thank you friend 🙏🏻💜
Hi Nikki, I understand your argument about "it's the gun, not the person." But my question with this argument is always: So, then what do we do? How can we put laws in place that will help people to become more mentally stable and more moral? We all want less school shootings and less gun violence in general. How do we put laws into place as a society to decrease gun violence - and quickly? Personally, I haven't seen a convincing solution from the conservative camp yet, and I'm not comfortable with the argument that "people will always find a way to be violent." I believe that humans are capable of creative solutions, and Christians should be leading the way to protect life! Curious about your thoughts.
I think a lot of it comes down to culture (ex: music involving gun violence, violent video games/movies, gangs, etc).
It’s uncomfortable to acknowledge that utopia cannot exist and there will always be bad people who do bad things, there will always be risk in life, etc. but ultimately we cannot justify taking away somebody’s rights purely based on fear of those situations occurring. The consequences of doing so are far worse. Furthermore, the root cause of poor mental health is not going to be resolved by taking away somebody’s rights. We as a society are sick. It’s time for people to start having family values again. I recommend you read How to Make a Monster by Paul Glasco.
@Exculpatory Shōgun excellent answer.
... It's a person with a gun...
@Elise Taylor, hi I as someone who has witnessed firsthand how the strict gun control laws are enforced and how they effect the average person I think I can weigh in on the discussion. If you are open to discussing this I would be happy to do so with you.
Yes girl. Reformed theology changed my life. I feel like I finally understood the gospel for the first time when I started understanding reformed theology. Sounds dramatic but it’s true. Keep on searching for truth as always. Praying for your journey!
Hey Bri! Miss seeing you on UA-cam, hope you're doing well! Love and blessings to you and your family 💞
I can see that… a lot of the theology makes a lot of sense to me… you don’t sound dramatic at all to me! thank you for your encouragement! 🙏🏻
I’m so excited to watch this Q&A right now!! Also, you look SO stunning! The hair, the shirt, the cute little dog behind you!! 💕💕
Oh wow! Hahah thanks girl!
Our UA-cam feeds must be identical haha I love watching Mormon stories especially! Every time you mention random UA-cam channels it blows my mind because I thought my interests were so random and varied (seriously watch things from every viewpoint / political end / such a mish mash of topics) that I thought I was the only one that could be watching this array. Then I hear you mention them! So funny.
Isn’t that weird?! I hate the the algorithm knows us so well…. Lolol yet I love it😭 have you watched “weird history”?! That’s another good one!
Are you still friends with Rachel Talbot? I miss you 2 together.
No we aren’t…. that being said, I wish her and her family nothing but the best 🙏🏻💜
Nikki! I KNEW you would eventually find yourself on a canning journey!!! I'm so excited to hear this (I started canning a few years ago and it changed my attitude to food and started me on a homestead journey! You totally got me into Weston A. Price as my hubby and I are on a TTC journey. I know the Lord is going to bring it to pass for both of us in his timing.
Girl. I’m gunna be a slow learner tho! Hahaha I just took a canning class last week and I’m still extremely confused hahaha I will keep going tho! Also, good luck on your TTC journey! I pray the lord breathes life into your womb soon🙏🏻😌
I’m orthodox Christian which is before the catholic church and I have never been super into theology until I stepped foot into my church. I encourage everyone just to learn about it! I think you’d find it very fascinating
I’m very fascinated by orthodox theology! I will continue to learn for sure:)
I value and appreciate your thoughts 🤍🌱
You’re such a lovely soul, Nikki 💕
Thank you Alyssa 🥺💜
I know you said you’re interested in learning to can, and girl it is NOT hard! All you need is the equipment and to follow the directions! Easy peezy!!
However, I would also encourage you to try fermenting your harvest from the garden. Canning is great but it takes away a lot of the bioavailability of the nutrients when they get cooked like that, so fermenting is a great second option and adds great flavor and lasts 6 months in the fridge or in a root cellar.
Just a thought 😊😊 however, I personally do a balance of pressure canning AND fermenting!
Interesting! Thank you for telling me this! I can’t say I knew that so I appreciate it! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Have u ever considered doing like a bible study video ?? Something like that.. I would like to see 1. Great q and a. Have a blessed day
I haven’t! I don’t feel equipped for that! I mean maybe if I feel led to doing that one day I wpuld… but it’s not on my radar as of now! Thanks for your encouragement tho! I appreciate it 😌
Have you read the book mama bear apologetics? Its eye opening and im loving it!
I haven’t but I’ve heard so many people talk about it! I have to see if it’s on SCRIBD!😍 thanks for the reminder/recommendation! ☺️🙏🏻
Oh I just looked and I already had it saved!😭🙏🏻
Do you still buy from Young Living? I left them about a year ago
I do! I don’t really promote them though for a few different reasons… I really enjoy certain oils and products from them still 🙊
so excited to watch!!! fave kind of videos!!
I’m glad to hear that mary!!!:)
Girl, I literally have all of your songs on my Favorites Spotify list! ❤You are an amazing singer!! Would LOVE to hear more worship songs from you to keep adding! 😄🎶🎵🎶
Hahaha thanks friend! That’s so awesome to hear!! 😌💜🙏🏻
God bless you Nikki, thanks so much for sharing on homeschooling and what you do with Logan, it was much appreciated. I totally agree that learning should be intergrated into daily life. My son is almost 10-months old, I bought him Wishy Washy by Tabitha Paige after I saw it in one of your videos; It is definitely his favorite book so far. Could you please do a video of your children books recommendations?
Nikki!!! Your hair looks PHENOMENAL! 😍❤️
Aww thanks Kristi! I appreciate that!!!
Are u still planning to adopt?
It’s not in our “plans” at the moment… but we’re definitely open to it later in life! 🙏🏻
Hi! I was subscribed to your channel back in the day, and just recently resubscribed after finding you again! Have a great day!
Oh wow! Well thanks and welcome back friend!
Got on that waitlist as quick as I could type 😆🙋🏻♀️
Oh and thank you! 😭🙌🏻🙏🏻😌
I love mormon stories and Jessica Kent haha I always feel like we have the same algorithm 90% of the time.
Hahaha isn’t it weird how that works?! The algorithm knows we like learning about lives that are different than ours!😭
Have you watched “weird history”?! I’ve been into that channel too lately!
Andrew at beginning of wisdom is a great resource on reformed theology and great at answering emails. I’m reformedish but only in the last couple years even though I’m married to a very super duper reformed gentleman. 😉 Great q and a nikki!
Your husbands channel is great Nikki!:) I will definitely ask him about specific questions if they come to mind down the line! Also thanks friend:)
There are so many different ideas within Christianity that I had no idea were a thing and I don’t think it matters that I don’t have a position on them but they are interesting to dive into. Like predestination vs free will, annhiliationism vs eternal suffering, preterism, the rapture, etc! Crazy stuff that I never knew was a thing.
I like this perspective 🙌🏻
Very random but I’m really needing to know makeup your wearing! I love how natural it looks and it’s gorgeous!!!
I’m surprised you enjoy Jessica Kent. And I think it’s mostly just because it’s so fascinating to me how people find others channels.
Lol funny huh?! I just love peering into different peoples lives and hearing their stories! Thanks youtube! Lol
I hope you can reconnect with Tati again now that she has been saved
I love Tati 😌💜
What do you mean by “animals and humans are not the same”? If you mind me asking.
I don’t believe they’re the same but I love my cat Toulouse so much and I know he has a soul and when he dies he will be with me. 😢
@@olivec.6108 when did I say they weren’t as valuable??
I never said that. I said they weren’t the same. Christianity doesn’t say Animals are less valuable. It says we are made in Gods image. Not that we look like God but that our spirit is the same as God’s.
We are both animals in a sense..but there is evidence (not just from a Christian standpoint) that we are not simply “animals”.
The problem today is that people get so bend out of shape if someone doesn’t have the same opinion as them.
@@olivec.6108 …..
“there are mental health issues that come from nutritional deficiencies”…. Hmmm can you give examples of sources that confirm that?
Do some googling on vitamin B deficiencies and mental health…you will find lots of info to be able to weigh that out for yourself….vitamin B is the most well known one… but I think plenty of other deficiencies can cause mental distress as well… including even just gut/bacterial issues…
Nikki, regarding faith, I'm pretty sure I know what you mean and how you are feeling. In Christianity there are so many different ways to interpret things in the Bible and very educated people disagree on so many things. BUT! Are they things that really matter in the grand scheme of things? Are they important to salvation? (most of the time that answer is no) Honestly I think the most important thing as a Christian (when thinking about what is "important" to believe) is the Apostles' Creed. That's the meat of what we believe (pretty much regardless of denomination). Other than that, are you being an obedient disciple? Are you loving God and your neighbor? Are you following Jesus with your heart, actions, life? These are the things that matter.
YES. I love and appreciate this perspective… it’s really where my head is starting to go more and more… 🙏🏻
The first question- I grew up baptist and I find myself questioning a lot of their what I like to call side- beliefs. I recently came across someone calling themselves a Christian agnostic and while I don't think that has a definitive definition that is what I have decided I am. I believe in God and that Jesus was who and what he said he was but outside of that I believe alot has been influenced by humans and thus, corrupted.
Very interesting perspective! I appreciate this!
I absolutely loved this! I wish I was homeschooled. Your mom sounds awesome!
Aww thank you:) and yes… my momma is awesome 🥺🙏🏻🙌🏻
I am watching on my tv, and I am only one question in and had to get to my computer to comment! I love that you are talking about theology and the idea that you don't know how exactly you view everything yet. I am in a class right now, and one of the books we read was Cosmos Reborn, and we were talking about this exact thing! Too many people think they must decide what they believe about all these things to be a Christian. Not true! The only thing that makes you a Christian is believing the Gospel. So simple! I was taught that I needed to understand everything in the Bible and have an opinion on it. One question..why? What difference does it make to what I think is true? Regardless of how I think the world will end doesn't change what God will do. Why does it matter that I know ahead of time? What difference does it make? We get so caught up in the details that we lose the most important thing, which (to me) is knowing God for who He is and having a personal relationship with Him. Knowing God's love for me and everyone else. Feeling and knowing His love is far more important than opinions and viewpoints. We can enjoy reading about theology but theology isn't what saved us and isn't who loves us.
THIS is beautiful and exactly how I’ve been feeling lately… thank you Danielle 🙏🏻💜
BASED and a momma and she can cook and she's beautiful and she's not insane. Lucky man. Best of luck to you both!
Lol I’ll take the compliment! 🤗Thanks for the well wishes:)
Hey Nikki 💗💗💗 I love these videos :) I love hearing your thoughts and opinions. Love you and I hope you and your family are well and staying safe ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If your looking into Reformed Theology I’d definitely recommend Alana L’s channel. She’s homeschooling her boys, gardens, does kombucha, and cooking videos and she recently did a series about her journey through reformed theology.
Ooooook I need to check this chick out because I’ve heard of a few people taking about her! Thank you for the rec! She sounds right up my alley!
Have you seen any of the Soft White Underbelly channel? Also, you would love the book, Mommy Teach Me To Read! It’s wonderful. :)
Hey Nikki lovely too see you 💗
Aww thanks Leah!
so weird hearing you mention Jessica Kent! I did the exact same thing lol
I also think you would really like he soft white underbelly channel.
@@alexinwonderland5629 I’ve seen a few videos from that channel and I like them!
Tales From the Streets imo is better than soft white underbelly
Also love Jessica Kent’s channel and have been on Mormon stories too. Same algorithm waves haha.
Lol that’s funnyyyy😭😭😭
They know us too well🥺
I like that you acknowledge that there are many biblical interpretations. Even the same denominations of Christianity (all 44,000+ of them), have some variation. However I find it strange that instead of questioning the faith itself because of these variations, you try to figure out which of these millions of truths suit you. I would think a god who wanted people to be saved would make his word easy and clear to follow. Not so difficult that there are more than 44,000 interpretations to choose from.
I think what it is, is that I find the details interesting…. Not necessarily essential… I think lots of people “have it right”… and the details don’t really matter…that’s maybe a lame answer but that’s truly how I feel atm.
@@NikkiPhillippi thanks for your response! yeah I find religion to be a very interesting topic. Lots of Christians are very legalistic, and do view specific interpretations as essential to salvation. Many don’t. But I think that’s my issue with it. Nothing is clear cut. Not even salvation. Again, thanks for your thoughts :) glad to see Zoe
Bless you ♥✝
Thanks friend 💜💜💜
I Love your Q&A's !!!😍😍😍 It's interesting to hear different perspectives from people in general!!!💯💯💯 I have watched #JESSICAKENT before and her testimony is interesting!!!👍👍👍 Praying for y'all always!!!🙌🙌🙌 Much Love and Prayers from FL 💖💞🌴🙏💖💞🌴🙏💖💞🌴🙏
Wait her testimony?! Is she a believer now?! Or just you mean her story about prison? Also thank you friend for your encouragement!
@@NikkiPhillippi Her prison story!!!💖💞🌴💖💞🌴💖💞🌴
@@NikkiPhillippi Prayers are being requested for myself and my family for Hurricane 🌀 IAN!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@clemmons9501 I’m praying for you sister!!!!
Your comment about mental illness and labelling people as “crazy” is very ignorant.
What’s the time stamp?
I saw someone dog piling you VERY aggressively and they've been canceled before. I was like........ girl.... you literally almost had a downfall over your cancellation and now you're trying to cancel someone else!!!
Would you rather smell a dirty diaper or smelly, rotten cheese/fish?
Neither lol
You look so beautiful & I LOVE your hair! Also, I had no idea you are 35! You make the 30s seem soo enjoyable! I am in my later 20s and feeling SO OLD esp compared to the young 20s I’m around but I feel like it’s true when people say 30s are amazing because you just know yourself and your values and morals and you don’t have to apologize for being you and you just have so much bold trust and security in the Lord and you make me see the good in aging! Lol! 🤍
Wow! This comment is awesome! Thank you:) I’m glad the Lord can use my content to encourage you and excite you about aging! Lol God is continuing to grow and strengthen me but I’m grateful for where he’s brought me and what he’s taught me over the years🙏🏻
My number one tip for birthing unmedicated is the listen to hypnobirthing to help you relax, I recently found Christian Hypnobirthing which has been amazing! They have lots of different tracks and some are just encouraging scriptures! Highly recommend!
