Sometimes you get the thing you thought you wanted - the thing you thought would fix you, and make you feel better and stronger - but it doesn’t give you what you need. What do you do then? Maybe you find something else to pursue, and something else after that, and even then, you still want more. The irony is that eventually, all of these successes - the attempts to feel strong enough and worthy enough - start to feel like failure. NFL Long snapper Clint Gresham learned that lesson the hard way. He played six seasons in the NFL and won Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seattle Seahawks, but still found himself with the same growing sense of need.
I’ve watched so many White Chair Films but this one...this man sharing his battles was like ripping off a huge scab on my heart. All the things that I try to hide with a smile and a sense of humor. Just to know that someone else has been where I walk...thank you!💗 God is so good.
Same birth story same sensitive feelings same need for sports in my youth. Fighting anxity still at 56 but today i heard my brother share his heart with mine and they joy of Christ welled up within me. Thank you for sharing your truth that so many of us feel. Only his love can heal our level of broken. One God given breath at a time. Praise God we are not alone.
All these stories make, in my oppinion, people more human and God more glorified, thank you ❤️
Wow words from your mouth to my soul. We are sensitive to others more than any others are. That is a blessing to others when they are considered about their feelings. That is our purposes- in our pain, we can minister to others who struggle with the same thing! Let’s be who we are called to be. Help,us LORD with our narrative to ourselves.and love us whom GOD made.
I've watched a lot of these, but this one...man, it resonated deep deep within me. Thankful for people's stories, thank you for being so brave and sharing with all of us. God bless this amazing work.
Blessings upon you, brother. You blessed my socks off. The battle is the Lord’s. And He smiles about you.
Thank you Cynthia
Most people feel like a freak in this world. Thank you for articulating those painful feelings and the beauty of being made whole, safe, and secure in Jesus.
It's the worst feeling. How beautiful to find out so many can relate, and we find out we aren't alone in our darkness
Wow. I was extremely blessed by this. Felt like God was speaking through you, to me. One step at a time, moment by moment. Thank you
Good evening Everyone I’ve seen many many white chair I am second video’s and they are all amazing BUT this one oh this one is so so different it touches my soul thank you Sir for sharing your story with us with me wow I totally I don’t even know what words to use let alone say at this moment other then THANK YOU may God continue to Bless you !!!!
I too felt like God was speaking DIRECTLY to me through you! Thank for your honest open testimony! You really have no idea how much this helped me! I am laying here wiping away tears because I have been struggling so badly with knowing I’m a Christian and Loving Jesus and still struggling with mental stuff ... anxiety, panic disorder, PTS, depression and addictions and physically dealing with debilitating scoliosis and needing the financial provisions to get the treatment but not having ability to work to get the financing! Ugh! But God is faithful and I know it will work out! Thank you so much... I’m encouraged to try to get up again and take another step forward today!!! God Bless!!!
I have the same disease. Thanks for beautifully articulating your experience, strength, and hope. God is madly in love with each of us. He wants our hearts. But He will not take hearts that are not freely surrendered. He's not a creeper. He will never force anyone into his loving care. This is how I fight my battles--at God's table.
Amen! He is after our hearts
So powerful. I needed this this morning.
I always have compassion for people who struggle with the things we struggle with publicly, the amount of scrutiny, criticism, condemnation and judgement they come under and sometimes even coming from our own Family in Christ just because they're in the spotlight really makes me pray for them
Most people objectify people in the spotlight and forget their humanity. Thanks for being someone who rises above the consumption mentality and chooses to pray

You will change my life. Thank you.
This changed my life, u have no idea, thank u
I LOVE hearing that Rebecca. You're really strong!!!
Wow, Clint, thanks so much for sharing your story brother! This spoke to me deeply as I am walking through a similar season of life and searching for answers to the anxiety and questions of self-worth. God Bless!
You aren't alone my friend!
I greatly appreciate these fellowship moments! You are all so brave, and have no idea the impact you are having on the young & old (All glory to God through Christ His Son). None of us deserve His grace...such a sweet, overwhelming gratitude that sweeps over His people-God is truly good. Thanks for your testimony brother.
Thank You Kristen. It's beautiful how God pursues us even in our darkest moments. That He is happy to be seen with us.
This is... my story... thank you
It’s definitely difficult. I have lost so many family members in the Last 3 years. I am ok but a little lonely. I am thankful for our Jesus. Am I also have anxiety about finances now that my husband died as well. So every day it’s a challenge
Clint you really put it out there, you were real and to tell you the truth we All struggle with feeling like we are good enough etc. That does not minimize all the negative talk going on inside. I have struggled with self doubt and never feeling good enough until I could not continue and I just cried out to the Lord and he has helped me. Performance keeps you always trying to measure up, I finally realized I would never be able to peddle fast enough and just decided to let Jesus take the wheel. None of us bring Anything to to the table, it's about him not us. That's why his love is all consuming, and I have no good except what comes from Christ. Thank you for your honesty, me and about a 100.million other people are there with you.
When I look around at what the rest of the world is like: work harder, be better, perform higher, it doesn't make sense that God wouldn't expect the same from me. But then I remember God isn't my boss, He's my dad :-)
I needed this. Thank you for sharing your story. Praise God!
Thank you for watching our films Ben!
Thank You brother!
Wow. Powerful.
None of us feel like we have anything to give the savior of the world...but He knows us more than we know ourselves...He loved us while we were still in our sin...the Bible says there is more joy in heaven over the the one that went astray than the 99 that didnt...that gives me joy...Thankyou for sharing that and being transparent...peoples testimonies are powerful tool..God bless you
Beautiful that He still thought we were worth dying for even when we feel worthless. He is good
God bless you!
Wow, you nailed it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. What a wonderful testimony.

Wow-thank you, Clint. This was so helpful. Praise the Lord for you, bro.

Amazing❤
love, ,love, love it... you are speaking right to me!!!
I haven't listened to many of the white chair clips, but last year I was listening to one while I was in a similar place that I am listening to this one in right now. That one and this video have been a life raft for me when I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep my head above water. Thank you! I literally could relate to everything you said!
Thank you for sharing that Brittany. We appreciate you watching our films.
very strong and amazing story!! every video make crying!! thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this story.
Thank you for your testimony. I really needed to hear this. I am realizing that GOD can and will use me even though I think I am broken.
Love this one!
Since my dad died six years ago I’ve dealt with a lot of anxiety in the past year or so really bad OCD like people try to say that they have OCD and it’s not that you need all your pencils to be in the right place like it’s so much more than that I don’t know exactly how to even explain it but I’m sure people know what I’m saying and with my OCD it would let the devil try to make me second-guess and thinking to myself do you really love Jesus and I know that I do but as you said you’re not thinking rationally and I would also think well I did this today so I guess now I’m not saved or something like that I’m just so much that I feel like like could or should have done this instead of this because hindsight is 2020 especially when you feel convicted and I just don’t know how to put into words how much this helps me that people are going through the same thing and it’s not that I want other people to go through the same thing but that people can relate and I’m in the process of getting baptized I’ve been saved since I was probably seven or maybe six but as long as I can remember and I just have never gotten around to being baptized so now I’ve been stressing out about are you really saved because some people believe that until you’re baptized you’re not really saved which is not scriptural I’ve seen some verses that people have taken out of context but the fact is the Bible does not say that I mean for instance the thief on the cross I don’t believe that he was baptized was he and I could talk about so much more but you get the jest. I just want everyone to know that I’m praying for them God bless y’all.
This really spoke to me Thank you
Amazing
Wow! Thank you
