I don't understand...? As an atheist that has read the bible, doesn't it say Blasphemy is pretty much the only sin god wont forgive? and wouldn't being a Satanist fall under blasphemy? I'm sure Satanist also have rituals that are direct blasphemies against god. if not wouldn't it kind of defeat the purpose of being a Satanist? Mark 3:29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”
@@iNeedSleep22 Blasphemy against the Father or the Son can be forgiven but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is rare and cannot be forgiven. That is because the Holy Spirit is what dwells in the body of a human whom the Father considers to be his son, like his only begotten Son Jesus Christ. When you blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, it is an instant rejection to your own spirit that has been designed to be united with the Holy Spirit. It is instant damnation. Notice how even satanists and luciferians are most of the time only blaspheming against Jesus or his Father?

What a profound statement that the biggest judgements she gets comes from the very community/family she is part of. Shame on us for not showing the same grace that allows us to call ourselves christians in the first place.
Ironic.. Considering that the sin these people are committing is called "self reightousness". It's not our place to judge.. It's up to an individual to hear and heed the living breathing word of God, written upon the heart. The word of God isn't soley relegated to a book. It's pretentious, and contradictory to quote the bible to fluff their own points. They miss the point entirely and turn people away by trying to be right. And by trying to BE right, they fall short of the grace of achieving what is reightous. The bible is merely a tool, and to some - a convenient weapon exclusively towards it's own believers.
Or, being the huge celebrity Kat is, the negative input she gets is 100% internet Trolls. For me, knowing quite a few Christians and having dealt with the Trolls, it makes much more sense to me that the Trolls are coming across as negative and trying to make her believe they are Christian.

Exactly! The apostle Paul… According to the Acts, Paul lived as a Pharisee and participated in the persecution of early disciples of Jesus, possibly Hellenised diaspora Jews converted to Christianity, in the area of Jerusalem, prior to his conversion. Some time after having approved of the execution of Stephen, Paul was traveling on the road to Damascus so that he might find any Christians there and bring them "bound to Jerusalem". At midday, a light brighter than the sun shone around both him and those with him, causing all to fall to the ground, with the risen Christ verbally addressing Paul regarding his persecution in a vision. Having been made blind, along with being commanded to enter the city, his sight was restored three days later by Ananias of Damascus. After these events, Paul was baptized, beginning immediately to proclaim that Jesus of Nazareth was the Jewish messiah and the Son of God. He made three missionary journeys to spread the Christian message to non-Jewish communities in Asia Minor, the Greek provinces of Achaia, Macedonia, and Cyprus, as well as Judea and Syria, as narrated in the Acts
@@zaddymac4768she means Jesus often took sinners and made them into apostles. Like Paul who used to persecute Christians and then became a one of Jesus Christ’s most loyal follower
Christian here. I have been a fan of Kat for years and i am elated that Kat is born again. There are a lot of Pharisees today just as there was at the time of Christ. Dont let them discourage you. Christ may even be using you to help them see the error of their ways. None of us are perfect. Thats why we need Christ. Just stay with Christ and he will take you were you need to be. Much love Kat.
Theo really had some of the most meaningful discussion this year and I love it. There is a lot of Christians in South Africa that dont look stereo typical. So glad Kvd found peace and meaning in this life!
Sheesh boy!! Theo got me watery eyed when he got quiet after saying we suffer silently. We definitely go through bad moments but God's there the whole time. Even when it feels like a mountain is on your chest he's there to lift it off and pick us back up. It's awesome knowing people like Theo and Kat aren't afraid to tell the truth of who they believe in. There shouldn't be a reason to be ashamed anyway. Whoever ridicules or judges God bless them. Especially on the inside at church is where the judgment is the strongest. Christ didn't die for our sins and rise up on the 3rd day for cookie cutter outfits and traditions and ceremonies. He came to tear that down and give us the straight bridge from us to the Father. We have a direct relationship with God no matter what we look like or where we came from or where we're at in life. He welcomes us even more when we just finished rolling around in the mud.
I just heard more of her story. Pretty cool, she’s doing a opposite, sort of inside out, silhouette style art on her body. I used to hide stuff in my drawings this way and it looks really cool I’m not much of a tattoo guy except for a gel tat that I did myself in the county I really really long time ago but yeah, ….this chick pretty hip. Being Christian isn’t as much as a religion as it’s…a relief and an explanation…and you’re not alone type thing. People do mistreat others unjustly, you can only take so much before you realize you’ve been walking in Jesus shoes as well…. We all have.
What an amazingly and honest conversation about faith. You don't have to be a bible scholar to be a Christian. The fact that your feelings are guiding you is it's own validation and power.
As someone who loves studying theology and digging into every aspect of the bible so that when i share good news im not saying false statements, im so grateful for people like Kat and Theo who can help other people start to discover Gods love. My information comes like a fire and brimstone sunday morning in the south and its not everyones cup of tea but it does help some put the harder questions to bed. God knew exactly what he was doing and our differences are our strength because everyone is different and thats okay. Here's to planting the seeds!❤
Isn't Kat basically the testament to those that weren't from the Church would join and those that already are would fall away? Just like in the Simpson's movie when the whole Bar 🍸 crowd runs into the Church and the Church crowd runs into the Bar 🍺 ? Makes sense to me. Living in the Last Days, que no? 😉
Theo and Kat, you two are beautiful people. I am so sorry some of those who put the church before the faith criticize either of you. Kat hit it perfectly. If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are saved! I am a new Christian as well, and to hear Kat's story is so powerful and reminds me how powerful this faith is. You two are so loved!
Thank you Theo for opening your platform to Kat. And thank you Kat for being a light and sharing your journey.. although it’s not your mission, you are being a light to those of us who have strayed away. Love this interview.
This was such an honest dialogue between two humble people. I don’t know who this beautiful women was but have watched a few Von clips( my sons telling me about him ) and have watched a few clips on my own. THANK YOU for BEING so honest AND Vulnerable. What a breathe of freedom! I grew up in a church and am actually thankful for what I’ve learned but appreciate what you have both brought to the table. You are both so beautiful to me, keep the faith! God is so good! Even when we are not. I appreciate you both!!!!!! Beyond measure. Thank you!!
I am just thrilled she has come to Jesus! I spent 15 years in the wilderness myself and totally understand some of her feelings. We are one in Christ! Can’t wait to meet my sweet sister in the by and by one day!💙✝️💙
Awesome exchange here. My dad is a pastor and I too grew up in the church only to find myself leaving the faith when I moved out. Ever since then I replaced god in my life with alcohol and drugs. For 6 years I’ve known I need to come back, but was just waiting for something to happen and it never did. This past new years I was at the lowest in my life, and felt suddenly the call to come back stronger than I ever have. We don’t need to forgive ourselves to be redeemed. Jesus has already forgiven us.
I must say...I really like the way Theo thinks before responding and digging deeper. He's really thinking about the questions and asking open questions showing that he legitimately wants to understand others thoughts and perspectives. Nice.
It’s so strange that we have gotten to a place in our history that we feel embarrassed or silly for discussing our moments with the creator. I’m definitely guilty of this. It’s nice to see more of us newbies are starting to talk openly and honestly. What a beautiful young lady.
I know it’s really strange times. But all this has been prophesied I’m sure in some way or another. But I give credit for Theo for talking openly about God on his channel because a lot of people criticize other people for believing in Jesus, especially Christianity… it seems like that’s the only religion it’s acceptable for people to mock on TV or social media and act like they’re so progressive and enlightened to something the rest of us can’t see. It’s sad because it’s the rest of the world that can’t see, I think things are only getting worse from here on out. Maybe it’s just me but ever since the pandemic it feels like something BIG has started. And it doesn’t feel like it’s good… it feels like a lot of negative bad energy is just getting stronger as the world makes less and less sense
@@greg6162 you are not alone. I can’t really explain it,like you can feel it like it’s almost palatable. I’ve always felt that there was something,but it seems like if I talked about God people look at you as if you’re talking about aliens or big foot that your some how conspiratorial. It brings a type of embarrassment. I understand now that it’s all the propaganda being pumped out to people to deter them from living lives that are (not) narcissistic. I still have no faith in the churches today,but I do understand that what I was feeling all these years was God all along. Thank you for the reply it’s comforting to know others are feeling and understanding something big is happening. I’m just sorry it took 55 years to pull my head out of my ass,but I’m grateful to be here. Luv luv
@@lyv3070Kinda like when atheist materialists say the universe created itself out of nothing, billions of years of mindless, unguided processes lead to human consciousness and somehow we can use that consciousness to do math and science to articulate the reality of the universe…makes complete sense that all that happened randomly… Or alternatively, creation had a creator.
Amen to you for finding your way back to your faith in our father. So happy for you and hope you find every answer to your questions. Bless you Miss Von D
Girl, I was so much my own person growing up, that if I dressed any way outside the box, I don’t think I could’ve handled the comments. So I applaud your bravery for knowing that your look doesn’t define the aspects of your soul and I know so many Christian’s get that, especially this day and age. I think it’s also the fact that so many families go to church and are so focused on just gettin by that the old mom jeans and basic shirts become the norm as is for myself ha 😆 anyway, amen for your life and amen for your new life:)
4:48 😂 I knew there was that joke somewhere lmao. I can relate to Kat Von D so much so I appreciate her talking about her beliefs and letting people know you can still be alternative and love God.
As a new Christian and in recovery for almost 1 year and a huge fan . God doesn't look outside He know our hearts. He knew everything we would do before we did it. He loves us and calls us by name. What other people say or think means nothing
I really think Kat is a shining example of how you can come to a realization that you understand what your faith is and means to you. A personal Faith in God and the cleansing of christ is an amazing experience. Bravo to her.
I've loved her since 2009 im a Christian and I'm so proud she's 1 also. I've been pra for since last year. I'll continue to pray for her and her walk. I'm tatted up Christian to.i love her style
I am a Christian, and I thank God for Kat and her newly found faith. We all have a past and fall short of the glory of God. Christians are called to love, especially those that need Jesus. We are to love even when it's hard, especially then. Anyway, congrats Kat. I think you're awesome and bold like you're are called to be. I believe you get it more than many that profess to be Christians!
Think motherhood really made a difference in her. Had a guy friend that didn’t really believe in religion or God and after his child really had a deep connection and told me you know after my son being born I know God is up there 💜
Yuuup. Not a parent yet, but I can 100% see how becoming responsible for another human being can REALLY make you see the world for what it is and want the absolute best. It forces you to care and see evil where you never saw it.
wow! she is reading her word and the book of Job is a great example of resilience. It’s crazy how she covered all her tattoos that did not honor God. that speaks volumes. I’m praying that the lord continue to give kat strength to keep walking with the lord no matter what happens. i love when she says “the lord could be falling apart but still praise God.” 😭❤️🙏🏽 Praise Jesus!
Being spiritually Born Again as a Christian is life-transforming, so I fully understand Kat's desire to transform the outside to reflect more of her new self. Every morning, having to look at the old person and nature of who you were would be horrible for any Christian. Going black to cover the darkness of the past is pretty admirable. It reminds me of what happened in Ephesus, as recorded by Luke in the Book of Acts. After hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ, many who became Christians publicly confessed their practices and burned their magic books. Kat is doing the same thing, destroying the old self as the new person emerges in Christ Jesus.
It’s not about religion, church, routines. It’s about relationship with God. Being a Christian who started getting tattoos after watching Kat’s art displayed on TV & meanings behind tattoos, life has turned full circle. So happy & proud of Sister Kat
My bf best friend opened a Christian tattoo shop that caters to everyone and is really successful! He had a point when he said “It’s hard to walk away from a conversation about Christ when you’re in the middle of getting tatted” lol. It’s an awesome ministry.
No there's a bunch of other religions. It's like sports, you think your team is better than the other teams. Fact is it's all bullshit and they just want your money.
Welcome my sister, i love you're using your platform ❤️ there's gonna be ups and downs but push on. Theo.........surrender........ love seeing you vulnerability 🙏
I have noticed so many turning to God. It makes sense, because the world is such a mess, but ours eyes are being opened. God is truth. I've even been critized by my own mother, who goes to a different kind of church than I do. She even said I was being brainwashed. 🙄 I used to be an atheist, I thought she'd be happy for me. But I don't let it discourage me. Thank you, Jesus. 🙏 ❤️
Theo seems so genuine. Sometimes may take him a minute to get to the question he wants to ask, but I think that just shows how much thought he puts into the questions he has.
I know what people like her go through, I wore an eye patch to my local church when I lost my eye. Whole families would stare and mumble to themselves. I got judged/starred at less in Walmart
I'm sorry you had those experiences. Church really can have a lot of judgment. The way I think of it is, going to Church is for you & God most important 🙏🤍
Most likely just in your head. Even if people were talking about you, they probably weren’t judging you. They might be saying all that so sad let’s pray for him. You’re just assuming the worst because it’s church people which kind of makes you the judgmental one or prejudice one.
Love Kat Von D. Good for her. We all need Faith in these times. I’m not Christian or Muslim or Jewish or Buddhist. But I do unto others as they do unto me. Thanks Theo!
Man I love that Kat is on the narrow path met her at On the Rocks in Little Rock Arkansas after a tattoo convention back in the daaay always been gnarly and that good spirit within thankyou Jesus! 🙏
Great conversation. As a Christian one thing I have had to work on is not judging preferences (tattoos etc.). I am a work in progress. I think many struggle with the same issue.
@@BasedHyperborean It's pagan. Pretty basic knowledge. Now anyone can do whtatever they want but I'm not gonna say something isn't what it is. I'm over myself, are you over yourself? "get over yourself" mean what exactly? I informed basic information and you have the problem LOL!
@@BasedHyperboreanThe example I give is if our kindred, centuries from now, claiming those who display a rainbow are subscribing to homosexuality... when it's meaning stemmed long before those groups decided to use God's Promise as their banner. I have no judgement towards anyone, this is just an example of what I see happening here lol
Theo is so funny. I pray he finds salvation in Jesus Christ. I will pray for him. Re Kat, she is one of the sweetest people ever. I pray for her walk to go deeper into the things of God. I am so glad they each felt the Holy Spirit. God is drawing them in. Amen.
What a beautiful testimony!! I'm curious if becoming a mother played a part in her coming to Christ? I know that; that's when it happened for me. Holding my perfect baby boy, looking down at him. Holding him in my arms for the first time. . . I knew He had a hand it. I KNEW it was beyond Science.
& I prayed for my child/family every since I was a preteen. Wish I'd have kept I diary of prayer & dreams bc I know for a fact I prayed to have st daughter specifically,,& a family since mine was broken..... After spending yrs in addiction I finally surrendered & not only have I been clean for 7yrs but I haven't had the urge from day one.. 9 months into sobriety & I met the love of my life,,,, 2yrs onto sobriety & God gave me a little girl !!!! His timing is perfect
That definitely makes a difference. It wasn't my blood child but my gf and having a baby in your hands definitely changes how you think and act. A whole life depends on you. I quit cold turkey for my bf and her child. Even would tolerate his cries and so forth like a real father. It was weird to me cuz I knew any other baby it would be annoying to me. But instincts kick in and...yeah...life hits ya!
Man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart. Thank you for your beautiful testimony Kat.
Thank you for making that point. Have always said that.

At midday, a light brighter than the sun shone around both him and those with him, causing all to fall to the ground, with the risen Christ verbally addressing Paul regarding his persecution in a vision. Having been made blind, along with being commanded to enter the city, his sight was restored three days later by Ananias of Damascus. After these events, Paul was baptized, beginning immediately to proclaim that Jesus of Nazareth was the Jewish messiah and the Son of God. He made three missionary journeys to spread the Christian message to non-Jewish communities in Asia Minor, the Greek provinces of Achaia, Macedonia, and Cyprus, as well as Judea and Syria, as narrated in the Acts
@@zaddymac4768she means Jesus often took sinners and made them into apostles. Like Paul who used to persecute Christians and then became a one of Jesus Christ’s most loyal follower
@@VetchoznbyGod Lol. I would not describe Noah as a drunk.
I guess that depends on what a "cookie cutter Christian" is. Technically, we should all be that way if the cutter is Christ.
She has a warm, comforting, caring presence. I appreciate who she is as a person. She motivates me to be better. So thank you.
I dunno muddpukker. 😕
Theo is so good at interviewing being humble and vulnerable
Christian here.
I have been a fan of Kat for years and i am elated that Kat is born again. There are a lot of Pharisees today just as there was at the time of Christ. Dont let them discourage you. Christ may even be using you to help them see the error of their ways. None of us are perfect. Thats why we need Christ. Just stay with Christ and he will take you were you need to be. Much love Kat.
I think she is Beautiful and her faith adds to her beauty. I have always been a fan of this woman and will continue to be so.
Love you too Theo 😘
Theo really had some of the most meaningful discussion this year and I love it. There is a lot of Christians in South Africa that dont look stereo typical. So glad Kvd found peace and meaning in this life!
I'm new in SA (Cape Town) and searching for a church and community to be part of. Is there a church you would recommend perhaps?
Thank you Lord for reclaiming Kat’s life.
🙏🏽
Amen! 🙏🏼🥹 She is a new creation in Christ 💕
Sheesh boy!! Theo got me watery eyed when he got quiet after saying we suffer silently. We definitely go through bad moments but God's there the whole time. Even when it feels like a mountain is on your chest he's there to lift it off and pick us back up. It's awesome knowing people like Theo and Kat aren't afraid to tell the truth of who they believe in. There shouldn't be a reason to be ashamed anyway. Whoever ridicules or judges God bless them. Especially on the inside at church is where the judgment is the strongest. Christ didn't die for our sins and rise up on the 3rd day for cookie cutter outfits and traditions and ceremonies. He came to tear that down and give us the straight bridge from us to the Father. We have a direct relationship with God no matter what we look like or where we came from or where we're at in life. He welcomes us even more when we just finished rolling around in the mud.
I hope that her courage talking about her walk with Christ will give others the courage to do the same.
Kat- what a great opportunity to walk thru life in people’s disapproval ! ❤ God bless !
I’m a big time Christ man and how she dresses and what she looks like does not matter in my book. What matters the most is what’s in her heart.
💯♥️
And she is still on his journey
I just heard more of her story.
Pretty cool, she’s doing a opposite, sort of inside out, silhouette style art on her body.
I used to hide stuff in my drawings this way and it looks really cool I’m not much of a tattoo guy except for a gel tat that I did myself in the county I really really long time ago but yeah, ….this chick pretty hip. Being Christian isn’t as much as a religion as it’s…a relief and an explanation…and you’re not alone type thing. People do mistreat others unjustly, you can only take so much before you realize you’ve been walking in Jesus shoes as well…. We all have.
1st Samuel 16 7
What an amazingly and honest conversation about faith. You don't have to be a bible scholar to be a Christian. The fact that your feelings are guiding you is it's own validation and power.
I love Kat and her story !! She is definitely a Christian I can relate to !! AA was God's plan for saving my life ! thank you both
As someone who loves studying theology and digging into every aspect of the bible so that when i share good news im not saying false statements, im so grateful for people like Kat and Theo who can help other people start to discover Gods love. My information comes like a fire and brimstone sunday morning in the south and its not everyones cup of tea but it does help some put the harder questions to bed. God knew exactly what he was doing and our differences are our strength because everyone is different and thats okay. Here's to planting the seeds!❤
Isn't Kat basically the testament to those that weren't from the Church would join and those that already are would fall away? Just like in the Simpson's movie when the whole Bar 🍸 crowd runs into the Church and the Church crowd runs into the Bar 🍺 ? Makes sense to me. Living in the Last Days, que no? 😉
So happy for her on her new journeys, used to love her show.
This was a really good interview. What she says about being Christian and not having a dress code is so accurate! ❤

Theo, you ask the most heart felt questions... Great balance of listen & ask. On point 100%
Theo and Kat, you two are beautiful people. I am so sorry some of those who put the church before the faith criticize either of you. Kat hit it perfectly. If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are saved! I am a new Christian as well, and to hear Kat's story is so powerful and reminds me how powerful this faith is. You two are so loved!
I'm so glad you're here, Kat. Really happy for you ❤
❤
Thank you Theo for opening your platform to Kat. And thank you Kat for being a light and sharing your journey.. although it’s not your mission, you are being a light to those of us who have strayed away. Love this interview.
This was such an honest dialogue between two humble people. I don’t know who this beautiful women was but have watched a few Von clips( my sons telling me about him ) and have watched a few clips on my own. THANK YOU for BEING so honest AND Vulnerable. What a breathe of freedom! I grew up in a church and am actually thankful for what I’ve learned but appreciate what you have both brought to the table. You are both so beautiful to me, keep the faith! God is so good! Even when we are not. I appreciate you both!!!!!! Beyond measure. Thank you!!
Super stoked about her walk, peace be with you, Kat
Your testimony is powerful and beautiful, Kat. I love it. Thank you, Jesus! Draw us closer to you every moment of every day.
Alternative and Christian and know exactly what she’s talking about! Glad she knows she answers to God and no one else 🤍🫶🏻✝️
So glad to see this! What a testimony! Keep sharing Kay and stay in the Word!
I am just thrilled she has come to Jesus! I spent 15 years in the wilderness myself and totally understand some of her feelings. We are one in Christ! Can’t wait to meet my sweet sister in the by and by one day!💙✝️💙
Was just thinking that too! About meeting her and giving her a big ol’ hug when we get there
✝️❤️❤️
Just love Kat Von D ... a very unique & complex woman, whom I find extraordinarily creative & fascinating! Also, she looks absolutely gorgeous 🥰
Glad Christian’s like Kat and Theo exist
Theo is a Christian?
@@suitehonaaayyygurl9528don’t think so
I think he does believe the gospel this episode is not the first time he spoke about Lord Jesus
@@suitehonaaayyygurl9528yeah he is.
@@jasonszeto7790he definitely is, he's said it heaps.
Awesome exchange here. My dad is a pastor and I too grew up in the church only to find myself leaving the faith when I moved out. Ever since then I replaced god in my life with alcohol and drugs. For 6 years I’ve known I need to come back, but was just waiting for something to happen and it never did. This past new years I was at the lowest in my life, and felt suddenly the call to come back stronger than I ever have. We don’t need to forgive ourselves to be redeemed. Jesus has already forgiven us.
Similar situation. What helps me is starting with the rituals, liturgies, prayer first and let all the thinking happen later.
Showing vulnerability is priceless ❤️❤️❤️
The King is on the move. People of influence are experiencing revival and salvation. Every knee shall bow.
I must say...I really like the way Theo thinks before responding and digging deeper. He's really thinking about the questions and asking open questions showing that he legitimately wants to understand others thoughts and perspectives. Nice.
I love Theo. So much humility.
Awww…. Just got to the baptism..
And Kat- I was right there with you in all that goodness and light.

It’s so strange that we have gotten to a place in our history that we feel embarrassed or silly for discussing our moments with the creator. I’m definitely guilty of this. It’s nice to see more of us newbies are starting to talk openly and honestly. What a beautiful young lady.
I know it’s really strange times. But all this has been prophesied I’m sure in some way or another. But I give credit for Theo for talking openly about God on his channel because a lot of people criticize other people for believing in Jesus, especially Christianity… it seems like that’s the only religion it’s acceptable for people to mock on TV or social media and act like they’re so progressive and enlightened to something the rest of us can’t see. It’s sad because it’s the rest of the world that can’t see, I think things are only getting worse from here on out. Maybe it’s just me but ever since the pandemic it feels like something BIG has started. And it doesn’t feel like it’s good… it feels like a lot of negative bad energy is just getting stronger as the world makes less and less sense
@@greg6162 you are not alone. I can’t really explain it,like you can feel it like it’s almost palatable. I’ve always felt that there was something,but it seems like if I talked about God people look at you as if you’re talking about aliens or big foot that your some how conspiratorial. It brings a type of embarrassment. I understand now that it’s all the propaganda being pumped out to people to deter them from living lives that are (not) narcissistic. I still have no faith in the churches today,but I do understand that what I was feeling all these years was God all along. Thank you for the reply it’s comforting to know others are feeling and understanding something big is happening. I’m just sorry it took 55 years to pull my head out of my ass,but I’m grateful to be here. Luv luv
It's hard to gather pure water from muddied waters.
We feel silly because it is. Believing is one thing, but when you are articulating some things out loud, you realize how silly it is.
@@lyv3070Kinda like when atheist materialists say the universe created itself out of nothing, billions of years of mindless, unguided processes lead to human consciousness and somehow we can use that consciousness to do math and science to articulate the reality of the universe…makes complete sense that all that happened randomly…
Or alternatively, creation had a creator.
Amen to you for finding your way back to your faith in our father. So happy for you and hope you find every answer to your questions. Bless you Miss Von D
Girl, I was so much my own person growing up, that if I dressed any way outside the box, I don’t think I could’ve handled the comments. So I applaud your bravery for knowing that your look doesn’t define the aspects of your soul and I know so many Christian’s get that, especially this day and age. I think it’s also the fact that so many families go to church and are so focused on just gettin by that the old mom jeans and basic shirts become the norm as is for myself ha 😆 anyway, amen for your life and amen for your new life:)

4:48 😂 I knew there was that joke somewhere lmao.
I can relate to Kat Von D so much so I appreciate her talking about her beliefs and letting people know you can still be alternative and love God.
As a new Christian and in recovery for almost 1 year and a huge fan . God doesn't look outside He know our hearts. He knew everything we would do before we did it. He loves us and calls us by name. What other people say or think means nothing
5.5yrs here, God Bless You 🙏🏼
"I've been electrocuted a few times..."
Definitely checks out. No one doubts that.
I really think Kat is a shining example of how you can come to a realization that you understand what your faith is and means to you. A personal Faith in God and the cleansing of christ is an amazing experience. Bravo to her.
I've loved her since 2009 im a Christian and I'm so proud she's 1 also. I've been pra for since last year. I'll continue to pray for her and her walk. I'm tatted up Christian to.i love her style
I am a Christian, and I thank God for Kat and her newly found faith. We all have a past and fall short of the glory of God. Christians are called to love, especially those that need Jesus. We are to love even when it's hard, especially then. Anyway, congrats Kat. I think you're awesome and bold like you're are called to be. I believe you get it more than many that profess to be Christians!
As a Christian I am super happy for her! Love you Kat!
I am so happy for Kat! Thanks for sharing your story! God is great!
Think motherhood really made a difference in her. Had a guy friend that didn’t really believe in religion or God and after his child really had a deep connection and told me you know after my son being born I know God is up there 💜
God gets all the praise and none of the blame, good gig if you can get it.
@@Deltron6060 You haven't heard God get the blame? Sounds like a nice corner on this earth, but then again, you're on the Internet.
Yuuup. Not a parent yet, but I can 100% see how becoming responsible for another human being can REALLY make you see the world for what it is and want the absolute best. It forces you to care and see evil where you never saw it.
“Exhausted from the rush that things that are meant to make us feel better aren’t really doing it” -wonderful bit of wisdom/insight there. Spot on.
Theo is a philosopher at heart.
wow! she is reading her word and the book of Job is a great example of resilience. It’s crazy how she covered all her tattoos that did not honor God. that speaks volumes. I’m praying that the lord continue to give kat strength to keep walking with the lord no matter what happens. i love when she says “the lord could be falling apart but still praise God.” 😭❤️🙏🏽 Praise Jesus!
She said she covers her tattoos because it is too mainstream to have tattoos, therefore not cool anymore
@@lyv3070
Ok Demon.
Liar.
You’re just pissed that WE got her and you guys didn’t.
✝️✝️✝️✝️
Being spiritually Born Again as a Christian is life-transforming, so I fully understand Kat's desire to transform the outside to reflect more of her new self. Every morning, having to look at the old person and nature of who you were would be horrible for any Christian. Going black to cover the darkness of the past is pretty admirable. It reminds me of what happened in Ephesus, as recorded by Luke in the Book of Acts. After hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ, many who became Christians publicly confessed their practices and burned their magic books. Kat is doing the same thing, destroying the old self as the new person emerges in Christ Jesus.
It’s not about religion, church, routines. It’s about relationship with God. Being a Christian who started getting tattoos after watching Kat’s art displayed on TV & meanings behind tattoos, life has turned full circle. So happy & proud of Sister Kat
My bf best friend opened a Christian tattoo shop that caters to everyone and is really successful! He had a point when he said “It’s hard to walk away from a conversation about Christ when you’re in the middle of getting tatted” lol. It’s an awesome ministry.

This is the most down to earth conversation ever. KVD & T Von, the duo I didn’t know I needed 🫥
I have noticed so many turning to God. It makes sense, because the world is such a mess, but ours eyes are being opened. God is truth. I've even been critized by my own mother, who goes to a different kind of church than I do. She even said I was being brainwashed. 🙄 I used to be an atheist, I thought she'd be happy for me. But I don't let it discourage me. Thank you, Jesus. 🙏 ❤️
Welcome home Kat.
God Bless These 2 Beautiful Souls 🙏🏾❤️
Theo seems so genuine. Sometimes may take him a minute to get to the question he wants to ask, but I think that just shows how much thought he puts into the questions he has.
I know what people like her go through, I wore an eye patch to my local church when I lost my eye. Whole families would stare and mumble to themselves. I got judged/starred at less in Walmart
I'm sorry you had those experiences. Church really can have a lot of judgment. The way I think of it is, going to Church is for you & God most important 🙏🤍
Most likely just in your head. Even if people were talking about you, they probably weren’t judging you. They might be saying all that so sad let’s pray for him. You’re just assuming the worst because it’s church people which kind of makes you the judgmental one or prejudice one.
To be fair, you used a parrot as a service animal which didn't help the situation.

Thank you for your testimony Kat! Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life and He loves you!!
Stay always strong, Kat!❤️
What a beautiful testimony!! I'm curious if becoming a mother played a part in her coming to Christ? I know that; that's when it happened for me. Holding my perfect baby boy, looking down at him. Holding him in my arms for the first time. . . I knew He had a hand it. I KNEW it was beyond Science.
Would make sense since sacrifice gives us grace. I remember reading that in Romans. I know raising my daughter turned me back to Christ.
& I prayed for my child/family every since I was a preteen.
Wish I'd have kept I diary of prayer & dreams bc I know for a fact I prayed to have st daughter specifically,,& a family since mine was broken.....
After spending yrs in addiction I finally surrendered & not only have I been clean for 7yrs but I haven't had the urge from day one.. 9 months into sobriety & I met the love of my life,,,, 2yrs onto sobriety & God gave me a little girl !!!!
His timing is perfect
Same. My daughter brought me back to God and I am forever grateful for her
That definitely makes a difference. It wasn't my blood child but my gf and having a baby in your hands definitely changes how you think and act. A whole life depends on you. I quit cold turkey for my bf and her child. Even would tolerate his cries and so forth like a real father. It was weird to me cuz I knew any other baby it would be annoying to me. But instincts kick in and...yeah...life hits ya!
Best wishes to you on your journey darlin!! Godspeed!!!
