I like watching young people loving JESUS just like me☺️

[@cathyylxlo1651]

you're so lucky to have a Christian friend.

[@SungJongiesMine]

I found praying in the shower has helped me get my talks in with the Lord every day because I shower every day and I have no distractions in the shower. Just a tip for anyone who could use it 😁

[@solapowsj25]

Wonder why Jesus chose the desert where he fasted in solitude for 40 days?? Any link 🔗🔗🔗

[@davidevjen1539]

I feel wierd watching this as a guy being 17 years old coming from Norway, but your vids are just soo good. am growing closer to God everyday, thanks to your advice! i thank u so much! :) Have a nice day/week, and God bless! :D

[@WARRENBUFETT]

You must be doing something right. You two are among the happiest people I've ever seen.

[@FarAwayDistance]

Aww thank you so much :) All of our joy comes not from our circumstances, but from God. Who He is & all He has done fills us up with so much joy, we can't help but smile & pour that joy out to other people!!

[@Imuetinyanosa]

Ahh you guys are so adorable!! I pray to have friends that'll motivate/ support me in my walk with God like you guys :) Thanks for this helpful video!

[@NadineFelice]

both of you are so beautiful, inside and out.

[@FarAwayDistance]

+Nadine Felice Aww you're so sweet! :) Thank you so much!

[@joannaforro1710]

Omggg hi nadine! I love you both

[@rukmiyatisawiyan6130]

Thank you seriously! I became friends with the world two days ago...I was having so much faith in God, I rely on God and trust God but then something changed because of school I guess.. I can't really focus on God in school and I think that really decreases my faith in him..idk.. But now I have a four day weekend because of this holiday on my school and you have finally opened my eyes and mind that whatever comes from God's hand, it's for good. 😊 thank you

[@ArielleDatnoff]

Re-watching this again. This is definitely one of my favorite videos of yours. Always inspires me to write in my prayer journal. ;)

[@FarAwayDistance]

Aww loveee you!! xxx

[@yessicarmomlife]

I'm super glad I found your channel! God bless!

[@sina12370]

I'm a new suscriber, and I have already seen all of your videos, they are so inspiring, you are being used by God

[@FarAwayDistance]

+sina12370 Aww you are SO sweet thank you so much!! :) God bless you beautiful!

[@KellyCaroliniB]

Wow, this is totally and absolutely true. Done this the past year, and my relationship grew so much. Journaling with my bible is my favv! Doing bible plans on the bible app on your smartphone is like a neat, little, thing to read a day too. Actually, I just did a video on that, so it made get all happy to see you ladies telling others to do that! Lots of love!

[@michaelfisk5285]

I love your videos. I watch them for hours not even realizing the time because they are so good. Thank you for using your God given gifts and sharing them with others. God bless!

[@Jereton]

Great tips. I would have to say that your faith in God is greatly inspirational. Bless ya. : )

[@raquelcordivari1372]

You are literally SO sweet haha I swear we would be friends in real life haha! Keep loving Jesus and serving Him through your channel! There's so few channels who do what you do and it's really encouraging to see other Christians out there who are really thirsting after Him. God bless girl, you rock!!

[@FarAwayDistance]

+Musiquel Chord Aww wow thank you SO much for this!! You are the best!! :) God bless you! x

[@YOUniqueChannel]

Oh i love this so much, i really wanna make videos like this :') but its such a big step, but so worth it! love how you're both so confident in Christ to do this :) Goals hehe x

[@FarAwayDistance]

+YOUnique Aww haha you are sooo sweet! You totally should! :) God bless you beautiful!

[@YOUniqueChannel]

definitely hehe :)) just subscribed :)) xx

[@JuliaN-gb7qz]

You deserve soooo many more subs! I just discovered your channel, and I love it

[@latoyabolt9459]

Your vids are always refreshing. 😇💜💜💜💜

[@JannaUnderTheStars]

I've been feeling like I lost touch with God recently. Finding your channel was a blessing! Thank you for sharing your great ideas :)

[@BibleMunch]

+janna woodward Have you had the chance to check out Bible Munch? I post short Bible devotionals twice a week! These videos can be very helpful to get you into God’s word regularly. God bless you, and keep seeking him!

[@filmaker256]

Good schedule -- I pray as soon I get done with the unimportant tasks that this crazy world wants me to do, then I pray for health and forgiveness.

[@gerjerry99]

The Bible is definitely the no.1 key to growing closer to God; it has authority over any other book or saying. However devotional books and Christian literature are good too. God bless you ladies, keep up the good vids

[@Ranger7793]

Watching your videos before school has been a great encouragement for our daughters. Thank you and God bless you!

[@FarAwayDistance]

+Ranger7793 Wow thank you soo much for sharing this with me! :) That makes me really happy! All glory to God! God bless you too!

[@ZeroFloat.]

You don't need 5 ways to get closer to God, you need only one way, it is Jesus, he is the way. Your devotionals, reading, praying, music, books give you religion. Jesus is all you need, put your focus on him, what he did for you and it is all you need- then you already are as close as it could be to God.

[@torystrending7285]

Just Subscribed!! I finally found some teen friendly youtubers!! 💕💕 I pray blessings and prosperity into both of your lives😘😘

[@francismausley7239]

Good ideas. Study of scripture, prayer and meditation are basic. "Be swift in the path of holiness, and enter the heaven of communion with Me. Cleanse thy heart with the burnish of the spirit, and hasten to the court of the Most High." ~ Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh

[@nickiawalker1617]

That is great tips it has been on my heart to start setting a time to read the word even if it is 5:30 am, especially prayer time- I definitely have to try that with the journal! I love the video guys!

[@BibleMunch]

+Nickia Walker I find the morning is the only time I can have some peace and quiet in the house. Ever since I've been waking up early, I've been able to get into God's word each morning! I highly recommend it!

[@nickiawalker1617]

Yes I was recently told to start out a routine in the morning in order to stay consistent I struggle reading the bible everday..

[@BibleMunch]

+Nickia Walker Choose a manageable Bible reading plan, and stick with it the best you can. I read one to two chapters a day. My whole ministry of Bible Munch was built out of my need for accountability to keep reading, and to journal my thoughts on that day's reading. Also keep in mind prayer. Ask God for a deep longing to read his word.

[@nickiawalker1617]

YES! I love doing inspirational videos through the word because Its keeps me accountable and forces me to find solutions. I will check out some of your videos. :)

[@nickiawalker1617]

I am currently reading a devotional.. to try to stay on track.

[@snoopval]

I want to read 'His Princess' I have thefollowup book, I think it's called, "His Princess Bride' I love it. Great video, and I subscribed. God bless you both.

[@mckinleyrogers6339]

Bob goff, Jefferson bethke, Katie Davis, and Francis chan are my faveeeeee authors!

[@meredithrachel926]

Thanks Becca and Andrea for this awesome video. I recently have turned back to the lord after going through some very hard times in my life. I've been struggling to find ideas and inspiration to grow in my relationship with him. This video has really inspired me to devote more time to him and has helped me to feel less stressed out. I hope you'll keep making these awesome videos! You both are truly beautiful :) God Bless

[@MarkSmith-bg8pm]

I recently started watching your videos and i think they are great you have inspired me i have started reading the bible more and have started spending more time with praying to god and i have never felt so close to god since i have started watching your videos and i even have started using a journal thank you for helping me having a great relationship with god.

[@richboyted4447]

love this when ppl are happy and spread the Holy Scripture

[@AngeLik656]

Thank you so much!!! :) I like the idea with prayer journal))

[@peterwycka7222]

Another thing I would say is celebrate His love for you. We glorify Him when we do so.

[@AdornedinArmor]

*YESSS, Jesus is The Way, The Truth and the LIFE*

[@kjrollings]

Adorned in Armor no

[@deb5787]

You guys are so amazing. When really one has the spirit of GOD

[@phoebejanemiller1671]

Great video

[@FarAwayDistance]

+Phoebe Jane Miller Doesn't it?! It's literally the best way to start the day. :) You're so sweet, you too girl!!

[@rachelfagansinger6205]

TALKING TO OTHERS!!! Talk about what you're struggling with in regards to life and God with someone you know loves God a lot. Talk about what you believe about God or what you believe He has put in your heart as the direction you're supposed to go in your life.

[@scentsywithvictoria3484]

I love your channel!!!! I definitely agree about having a special time designated for Bible reading and prayer in the mornings! I do that everyday now for the last few years and it definitely starts my day off right!!

[@emmagrace5787]

I love all of those books! Kisses from Katie is definitely a great one.

[@Txrijxy24]

Another beautiful video. It was great to hear the different methods you use to grow closer to God. May you have a blessed new year and I am looking forward to upcoming videos!! Xx

[@kaz._.683]

Have you heard of Ellen.G.White? She is an amazing prophet who had more than 2,000 visions, dreams and talks with God. She is amazing. Her books include; Steps To Christ The Great Controversy And many many more! She is a seventh day adventist, and I feel like all Christian people should read her books. She was anointed by God, so why not?

[@martalopatynska-de-slepowr3095]

Thank you so much, you girls are great, so I know now I def should wake up early, read word +take notes, I like the cards with scriptures.

[@dahliahaynes1529]

[@FarAwayDistance]

[@vinylwallflower5109]

If anyone is looking for good Christian fiction authors I would suggest Melody Carlson and Amanda Bews - they both cover deep topics such as eating disorders, sexual abuse/harassment , popularity, human trafficking etc. which are very eye opening and interesting! Although the topics may seem intimidating they cover them in very realistic and 'everyday' ways. So I would suggest Anything but Normal by Melody Carlson and Summer Fades by Amanda Bews

[@slug237711]

Of those books you listed off, I only have The Explicit Gospel... didn't read it yet. Fav book so far would have to be Not a Fan from fav author Kyle Idleman.

[@genesismariepadro8588]

Hey Becca! i LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I wish you could post daily because i literally watched every video of yours. Lately Ive been having a rough time in my life. Ive been questioning my existence, God, thinking about the end of the world which has been giving me anxiety, questioning gods existence. I feel like my faith has been shaken and i don't know what to do. Do you have any advice. Any other christian youtubers do you suggest? PLEASE HELP!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING ON KZbin AND DONT STOP MAKING VIDEOS BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU I WOULD HAVE LOST MY FAITH!!!

[@FarAwayDistance]

Oh my gosh Genesis, you are SO sweet! Thank you soo much. :) So girl I'm so sorry you're having so many doubt and worries right now! I promise you're not alone. I worry that God doesn't exist sometimes too! Everyone does, I promise that you're not alone in that. But I can tell you that He IS real and that He has great plans for how He wants to use your life! God has a plan for you and your life matters. As long as you have a heartbeat, you have a purpose. God created you to do amazing things for Him, and He will see those plans through!! (Philippians 1:6, Ephesians 2:10) There are soo many amazing KZbinrs that I love! My channel has a bunch listed! Kelly Carolini, Sadie Robertson, Yumi, Katie, Jefferson Bethke and others too!! I love all of them and they all really encourage them. Go check them out!! :) You're not alone girl, I certainly am praying for you, and I am here if you need to talk to someone. Keep praying to God and talk to Him about exactly how you feel, as if you were talking to a friend!! :) Keep praying and keep reading the Bible. It's amazing.

[@genesismariepadro8588]

+FarAwayDistance Thank You So Much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ And do you recommend any bibles? I have one but I can barley understand it and when I google what I read nothing helpful pops up. ❤️

[@JRO512]

[@jilllee9847]

I have a question, I’m only 12 but do you have to ask for forgiveness every time you sin or just one time? Are you supposed to ask for forgiveness and not sin anymore?

[@lizlue]

WAY COOL

[@alanichappi8009]

please and thank you :)

[@NoForUs-ku3pf]

I know this is a weird question to ask on a video about the Glorious God but I saw you're sophomore shirt and was like wait you're not in high school you're in college. Than the question came up, how hard is college than high school? (My high school can be really easy at times depending on the classes you take) I'm going to community college first but was wondering how you're experience is going with the classes? Thanks :D God bless always

[@FarAwayDistance]

+Samantha F Haha you're totally fine! :) College is amazing. It was really overwhelming for me at first with all of the work! I have to do a tonnn more reading in college than I ever had to do in high school. But overall, I have found that high school was harder for me! I think it's because I had tennis games/practice every night, intense classes, and I would be up doing homework until realllly late and stuff. In college you get breaks in between classes, and usually you only have 3 or 4 classes per day, whereas in high school I had 7 every day! So that's why I love college a lot more haha. :) I think getting used to the homework in college is just an adjustment, but you get used to it! You'll be tottttally fine I promise! :) God bless you girl! x
