I want to testify if I may. My siblings & I grew up with an impoverished single mother. My brother is in bad shape, wishing our mother hadn't passed away because he could not support himself at 45 yrs old. I didn't have a father, but at 16, I met my future husband. I do believe God ordained our union. He comes from a hard working blue collar family. He is hardworking, stoic, and a great father. I also grew up as democrat. They told us we could achieve nothing without them. I had never met a republican until I met my husband's family. They told me I wasn't destined to be poor if I worked hard. I had never heard that in my entire life. Praise God for my hard-working man.
That's wonderful....you've brought tears to my eyes, I'm so happy for you and your family . God be with you. Much love from Yorkshire, England 🏴 ❤🇺🇸❤
Ok I need to write again. When my daughter was about 4, she came to me & said " I want to marry Daddy when I grow up" then I fully understood the power of a good father. I pray to God every day that she will marry a man like her dad. ❤️❤️❤️
This one spoke to me. Me and my wife recently have had a lot of events that have taken place in our lives that proved to us that God is real. We recently got saved and baptized. I will keep watching your videos because they really do help. You are a helping so many people. Thank you.
Us, too. Kind of amazing what's happening in the world. I know people that I used to think of as "The Christians" who are very religious, but I've discovered are apostate and need help. OTOH, I am seeing lots of people around us waking up and getting saved, people I would never have predicted. It was really bizarre when my wife and I started attending our current church. Suddenly, out of nowhere, strangers, co-workers, and old friends started asking us about Jesus - even before we "came out of the closet" as Christians. We were both anxious, saying, "We aren't ready to evangelize to anyone!" But, it turns out that our testimonies have been really helpful to many of these people because they could appreciate how earnest and relatable our stories were. We don't sound like properly trained missionaries, but for some people that's more compelling. Of course, referring folks to channels like this one helped, too.
First off, what I would like to mention is, thank you, pastor Mark, for your sermons. Thank you for being real in this fake world. Second, I would love to be married to a woman, but I've been single my whole life and can't get a woman to even speak to me. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with a dad. Either way, I hear what you're saying and respect what you have to say and wish I had that life.
I have a dad. I just never grew up with him. Once i got older i started to visit him and eventually in my teens I lived with him for awhile. Found out in my mid 20's I was a one night stand baby.@johnpring9176
@J03y-t8kI would love to have a Godly man to lead my son and I thru these hard times. I'm sure there are others like me in your area😊 Divorced 5 years. Married to Jesus, and my son and I share God Almighty as our Father ❤
Are you in a church? In my experience there are a ton of social events at church and a crazy number of single women. I would join a large church community and get involved in serving if I was you! Make it easy for God to lead that person to you. Hope things work out for you my friend!
GREAT message once again...and yes, BE POLITICAL. Some people don't seem to understand how politics and religion are closely entwined. I don't hate anyone for their views regarding politics or religion. We are called by Christ to love everyone just as He has loved us. But, the views on the left (maybe not all but certainly most) are in direct conflict with the Bible. WOKE IS WRONG. Homosexuality is wrong...promiscuity (homo or hetero...) is wrong. I was guilty of it it like most single men and women of today. I am always working on "me" to better represent God through me, but I'm not perfect and ofter fall short of the glory of God . I also 100% agree with the fatherless home issue. We must do better as men and mentor and father the fatherless. Moms can't teach boys how to be a man. Keep up the GREAT messages Pastor Mark. One day I will make it to your men's group! Good bless ---Preach on brother!!
As a single man 50 yrs old..thats has 2 jobs , spiritually grounded in my faith of christ, physically fit workout 3 to 5 days a week, a track record of toxic women and abusive relationships.. i wanted to marry my ex and take her kids as my own. But she cheated on me and left me because it was Gods will for her to be with him... I want nothing more than to find a good Christian woman and have a family... Young guys be smart and chose women wisely....
I grew up seeing my dad get up and go to work at 4 a.m., come home late, work weekends, and become the best at what he did. When I was young, I swore I'd never be like him, but his values instilled in me, anyway. Now, at 45, I'm glad that I did become just like him.
I think that we are seeing the bad fruits now from seeds that were planted decades ago. I assumed that my ex husband was from a wonderful family because his parents seemed to be happily married.... I was so wrong. Both of his parents worked and went out with friends while their sons raised themselves or were at daycare/school. He lived with his parents doing whatever he wanted until he was 28 and then I unknowingly was expected to fill the place of enabling his behavior. Many years of him unable to keep a job, obsessed with himself having free time, etc. ruined our marriage. Children need healthy mother and father role models from young on. I was essentially a single mom for many years prior to legally becoming one.
Telling my story!! Ex doesn't know how to be in a relationship after the woman becomes a mother. He left me for the woman he was cheating with, then left her after she had his baby. I pray for him to find Jesus daily.
Pastor Mark: you say it’s not good to be alone, and this is true in (Genesis 2:18), however, an argument can be made that it is good to be alone, that is without a partner so that your focus is solely on God and godly things, not earthly things as to please your wife. (1 Corinthians 7:32) Also, in that same chapter of the Bible, Paul, the apostle claims that he would prefer that we would like him, (verse 7) and he also says In the same book, we should imitate him as he imitates Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1) Your thoughts?
I had a father who worked a lot, and he was a decent man. But he never instilled manhood into me or taught me how to be a man. My mom was there for me always and it was almost like I was raised solely by her. I missed out on so much and believe I could have achieved so much more if my dad had been more manly and taught me what men are supposed to do.
EVERY THING THAT HAS BEEN TAUGHT HERE ON THIS SERVICE IS IS EXACTLY HOW I AM, and I am the bad guy according to my ex-wife and now my older children. I am a toxic man because I was “hard” on them.
As a pastor you should not curse in your Service. You need to teach them not to curse…Jesus would not curse and you want them to be like Jesus Christ 🙏🙏
History lessons but this is for the future generations if the Lord tarries. Many woman have felt discouraged with what was available. Godly men are so needed, take the stand. We are sincerely praying for you.
You got political, that's not good in my listening to pastors. Are you a pastor or a political commentator who had a miserable childhood and is now making up for it my bring over masculine?
Go cope and seethe somewhere else. You’re leading a very sad existence when you harass someone on UA-cam who doesn’t even read the comments. That’s because of whining, petulant, obnoxious teenagers rage commenting pointlessly. You just put on a master class in shaking your fist at the clouds. Bravo…

I wish I could like this comment 10k times hunny
As a Dad, there’s nothing greater, than hearing that from your daughter, I love this!

Thank You Pastor Mark for answering the call to lead and teach us men. Blessed to be part of this group
Amen Pastor Mark. May God watch over us men and our families.
1000% facts and I can see the individuals Marc is talking about having their heads explode from truth
First off, what I would like to mention is, thank you, pastor Mark, for your sermons. Thank you for being real in this fake world.

I can relate, with the exception of I have a father who still helps me to this day
I have a dad. I just never grew up with him. Once i got older i started to visit him and eventually in my teens I lived with him for awhile. Found out in my mid 20's I was a one night stand baby.@johnpring9176
@J03y-t8kI would love to have a Godly man to lead my son and I thru these hard times. I'm sure there are others like me in your area😊
Divorced 5 years. Married to Jesus, and my son and I share God Almighty as our Father ❤
@J03y-t8klol I know right. You gotta be friends with a woman to get to know her before even attempting to think about marrying her
Are you in a church? In my experience there are a ton of social events at church and a crazy number of single women. I would join a large church community and get involved in serving if I was you! Make it easy for God to lead that person to you. Hope things work out for you my friend!
This is awesome !!! Finally a guy that can explain everything I’m thinking
Amen Pastor!❤️🔥

Since when did Jesus get involved with politics?
Jesus was not political. No matter who is in the white house our mission is the same. And yes, I’m conservative lol
As a single man 50 yrs old..thats has 2 jobs , spiritually grounded in my faith of christ, physically fit workout 3 to 5 days a week, a track record of toxic women and abusive relationships.. i wanted to marry my ex and take her kids as my own. But she cheated on me and left me because it was Gods will for her to be with him... I want nothing more than to find a good Christian woman and have a family... Young guys be smart and chose women wisely....
The school statistics are the EXACT reason(s) my children are in a private christian school. God will be a part of their life, no matter the cost.
I grew up seeing my dad get up and go to work at 4 a.m., come home late, work weekends, and become the best at what he did.
When I was young, I swore I'd never be like him, but his values instilled in me, anyway. Now, at 45, I'm glad that I did become just like him.
Praying for a good husband and father for my son and I, if it's God's will. ❤

Sounds similar. Praying for you and your family
Thank you Pastor
Amazing, Amen❤️
Nice teaching. I read the book and loved it! Great job! Where can I buy Real Men merchandise? Peace and Blessings!
Mark is preaching with a hat on.
Lets remember how family law disincentivises marriage when the man stays one mood swing away from financial and emotional ruin
Amen, amen. 🙏
Good message.
This is awesome
I hope the band Jacky gets saved. They all act like real men plus they have humor.❤

Your thoughts?
As I'm watching this there is a sponsored ad that says "F with Women" 😮 talk about fighting Satan.
More Fathers, Less Government
Amen!
It sure would be nice to have a satellite church in North Carolina.
Men need Jason Graystone classes if they make money.
Dear Lord! Women need to marry a quarter back on a winning football team ( in the spirit)🎉nowadays.
be men. amen.
I had a father who worked a lot, and he was a decent man. But he never instilled manhood into me or taught me how to be a man. My mom was there for me always and it was almost like I was raised solely by her. I missed out on so much and believe I could have achieved so much more if my dad had been more manly and taught me what men are supposed to do.
Hi is this a new sermon or replay?
New. Saw it in person night before last.
EVERY THING THAT HAS BEEN TAUGHT HERE ON THIS SERVICE IS IS EXACTLY HOW I AM, and I am the bad guy according to my ex-wife and now my older children. I am a toxic man because I was “hard” on them.
It ducks when police side with angry abusive parents.
Passive men should study law so they can get restraining orders to protect their wife and family.❤
As a pastor you should not curse in your Service. You need to teach them not to curse…Jesus would not curse and you want them to be like Jesus Christ 🙏🙏
I loved your series about Jezebel and Ahab and Daniel and Elijah but these political / manly ones are really getting boring.
NILF
Dont like what he has to say then dont watch. Simple as that. Pastor Mark has great things to teach.
@shawnhollahan590 more people need to hear it & internalize it. Our men want milk instead of meat
History lessons but this is for the future generations if the Lord tarries. Many woman have felt discouraged with what was available. Godly men are so needed, take the stand. We are sincerely praying for you.
I love these! Until the men lead we need this
13 minutes in, not making me a man like you say we should be.
Your first 8 minutes do not cut it.
Man up, buddy.
There you go again....politics good bye.
You got political, that's not good in my listening to pastors. Are you a pastor or a political commentator who had a miserable childhood and is now making up for it my bring over masculine?
Don't feel bitter. Some good self reflection might be in order.
Go cope and seethe somewhere else. You’re leading a very sad existence when you harass someone on UA-cam who doesn’t even read the comments. That’s because of whining, petulant, obnoxious teenagers rage commenting pointlessly. You just put on a master class in shaking your fist at the clouds. Bravo…
@@markd1090 We should be praying for these people.
You should check out his Vote like Jesus series
