I'm 40 weeks prego today, I am honestly worried for my marriage because the husband works like 50 hours a week and we hardly spend any quality time. We love each other and do what we can, and are so grateful for how the Lord provides and for any time we do get, but I am very lonely most of the time and we have been spiritually dry and dont want it to get worse. we hardly pray with each other or can read the bible without falling asleep, and communing with God together is so vital in marriage

[@sathersocial2190]

Hearing Nick speak so openly about his struggles as a man brought me to tears. Chelsea you are so lucky to have found someone so connected and comfortable sharing his emotions. This video was so important and thank you so much for sharing your hearts!

when Chelsea started choking up thinking about what it ACTUALLY means to be a child of God... ❤️ I felt that. I know you both mentioned how we don’t need to have all the right words, but you both have such a way with words. thank you for sharing!

🥺🥺🥺

[@nikole2896]

the whole point of our faith is acknowledging that we arent enough, we arent adequate, but our worth is not in our productivity or ambition; we find these things in Jesus. He is perfect. we are to cast our cares upon God, for He cares for us. He is the rest, the sabbath, for those who are heavy laden with burdens. He is there even when we feel distant and are just trying to be a mom or a dad, and you are still glorifying Him by doing so.

[@ChelseaandNick]

Yes! It’s easy to know all those things but to live it whenever everything is shaken up is different. We are learning what that looks like in this season! ❤️ thank you☺️

[@nikole2896]

@@ChelseaandNick I've also learned that self sufficiency is an idol and it's easy to remain closed off and not open up to people, when we need to lean on the body of Christ!!! how can there be harmony within the body if one part is dysfunctional/wounded or cut off from the rest. the rest of the body sends help and healing!!!

[@madspadilla2353]

16:26 I literally burst into tears aaaaagh. I haven’t been able to admit to myself that I’m so exhausted and overwhelmed because I’m so focused on just trying to keep going. But sometimes we just have to sit in the pain and the weary for a moment because these are often the moments that we feel Jesus sitting with us in our sorrow, and then we lean into Him.

[@alexandracruz2308]

You guys make me feel so much better about not only my relationship with my husband, but also my relationship with God. I have been feeling that same dryness and I felt like maybe I was the only one, but now watching this video I know that I am not alone whatsoever. I thank God for the both of you!!

I really appreciated Nick’s “challenge” for himself to be honest when asked about how he is doing . It’s true .. we never want to burden anyone else with our problems . But God calls us to share our struggles with one another . I think I’m going to try this soon .

[@cricketfaith]

Coming from someone who struggles with anxiety and stuff who doesn’t have church or friends to ever talk to I agree how important it is to have other believers to talk to. Sometimes I get angry because I don’t have anyone, especially when my anxiety is raging. Feeling dry spiritually is hard.

[@ladybethia5457]

I just prayed the Lord will bring you some good Christian friends.💛 And that the Lord will lead you to the right church or if for some reason you are unable to get there that He will provide a way. His Word says in Matthew to ask and it will be given. Seek and you will find.Knock and the door will be opened. Easier said than done, but The Lord is faithful!🙏🏻

“Everything will be okay” is always harder said than done. The reality is EVERYTHING will be OKAY! Having that faith even on dark days is a huge progress. Sometimes we let our minds take over and we feed into it. Having that spiritually connections is amazing and helps out a lot. Not having friends or anyone to talk to sucks and it sucks awful but I have learned that if you even just take a second and rant it out to yourself, can help. You are not alone! Remember that misery loves company. Your higher power is always there and will always hear you. It’s also okay to not be okay, if life was perfect we wouldn’t be happy. We build our own happiness. God made us on purpose, with a purpose, for a purpose.

[@JammieStarzyk]

Being a parent makes you realize it really isn't about you anymore. The first few years are eye opening. The later years make you appreciate what you have worked on together. But you always feel like you could have done more. Thank you for being transparent and know that you are not alone. Key tip. Cut corners and save up. And know that God sees you both and is proud.

So glad you were comforted friend 🥲❤️

[@claire8012]

I've been watching your videos from the very beginning. I'm 23 years old and from the St. Louis area. I've felt very connected to you in all seasons of your life. I'm a new mom to my baby boy, who is just over a week old. I really enjoy watching your videos Chelsea. You inspire me with your transparency and faith. I am thinking about your family and pray God gives you strength and endurance to continue the path in which He has called. I definitely feel like I am in a dry season in my faith. It is hard to not feel discouraged or feel motivated to draw closer to the Lord... even though I know that is exactly what I need. As for being a new mom, the first 3 nights were challenging and I questioned whether I could be a good mom. Baby boy didn't like sleeping in his crib, but with much effort to get him comfortable sleeping on his back during his day naps, he sleeps through the night and wakes me up to change and feed him every 1-3 hrs. I'm scared for things to get harder, but I also know this season is going to go by fast and every moment will be worth it. Thank you for opening up, Chelsea. It means a lot to connect to you as a wife, mom, and believer. Keep your head up high. We are in this together! Sending much love from my family to yours!

[@taygray6424]

This video is such a blessing because I’ve been feeling the same way. So tired and exhausted spiritually. It feels like nothing is going right and everything that could go wrong is going wrong, but a few days ago I just broke down before God. I’m trying to hold everything together with the little strength I have, but God is a lot stronger than me. It’s been rough but my hope is in Jesus & that we will all see better days

I haven’t been honest with anyone about it, even my husband and family, and it’s exhausting. Listening to you talk about this is so comforting and a great reminder that I don’t need to be okay all of the time. I really hope I can find more time with God for peace and share that with my baby girl as she grows💕

I’ve watched you Chelsea since you were in middle school. You’ve been someone I’ve looked up to since then. I appreciate this video so much. It’s nice to hear that you are just human and you have bad days too and you don’t just show the good ones. Personally for me, It’s not that anything is going on in particular that is causing me to feel the way I have been. But, I do feel burnt out, dry, and distant. My fiancé & I both have been feeling so dry spiritually and feeling the same way. I try to pray about it and honestly feel like I don’t even know what to say. I know there are things in our walk with God that we could do to feel closer to Him. I know if we seek Him then He will drawl near to us. But we just feel dried out and it feels like we don’t even know what to do sometimes. We just need that heart burdening desire again. The spiritual fire. I also wanted to add, I think it’s also hard for us because we don’t have any young Christian couples as friends around our age that we can relate to. We are the youngest adult members that attend our church so we don’t even know who to turn to, to even be able to talk about how we feel sometimes.

[@claireanderson6570]

Thank you both for being so honest and vulnerable with us. Please know that I am praying for you in this season, and Jesus sees you. I am so very sorry for all you’re going through. It feels like so many people have really hard things going on, and the rest thing we can do for each other is pray, and be there for one another. Sending prayers and a hug through the screen.

I commented on one of your previous videos that I could tell you guys were having a hard time, I knew because I was in that same place postpartum.

[@t.d.d1570]

This video was really an encouragement! I’ve been trying to make this school semester one where I do everything well and make excellent grades, but sometimes, I fall short, and I have to remember that that doesn’t make me a failure, and I know it doesn’t. Sometimes things just seem so close and important, but I have to remember to trust in God and ask Him for a new perspective. It’s hard when you have goals for yourself and you either don’t meet them or get caught up in things that you need to do at that moment. Yesterday, I had two exams and I’m trying not to make my scores be the end all be all, even though I poured my heart into studying. I still have an opportunity to do better even though how I’m feeling right now is not great. I’ve never shared like this before, but I just felt the need to be honest somewhere, to tell someone, other than my mom and my family.

[@allijoy2]

Ok, I just got off the phone with my bf who is in seminary and told him this is exactly how I have been feeling. Super dry and struggling to just sit with the Lord. I moved for a church plant a year ago as and I’m so burnt out. Also have been feeling really inadequate about potentially becoming a pastors wife soon and all the things that come with that. Then turned on this video and realized yes, I am not ok, and I don’t have to put up an image to make me seem like I am. I struggle with letting others see my weakness’s, and letting it be ok.

So I may be wasting time commenting after a whole week after this video but I am just in awe of how God works. I mean - I can relate to this video on so many levels. Truth be told, I have been at a place where I have been feeling so lonely and desperate to feel God again. I know He hasn’t left and all His promises are still true towards me but I haven’t been to church for so long and the internet services no longer feel fulfilling. I started clearing KZbin’s notifications from my Notification Center because I am so sick of the mundane videos and people acting as if it never really gets hard. It feels so good to know that I am not alone. 🥺 I popped on here to listen to Lauren Diagle’s “You say” because I literally felt like I needed some form of reassurance this morning and the Holy Spirit would have me click on this video first.

Thank you so much for this. I avoided watching this for the past few days. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe deep down I knew I needed to watch it, but was avoiding it because I wasn't ready for what you were about to say. If someone were to ask me and genuinely care about how I was doing, I'd say I'm exhausted (in every aspect) and lonely. I'm for sure struggling. My faith with God has been practically non-existent because I'm tired and I don't put in the effort. I need to put in the effort. My son has had a few developmental delays that we've been struggling with for about 8 weeks. He's making progress; thank you Jesus. But he's still not overcome all the physical limitations. I feel lonely because I don't really have any friends. I'm the first in my friend group to have a child and because of that, I've lost friends and I feel so isolated from the others. Those that still keep in touch just don't understand because they are not parents. I'm in desperate need of some mom friends who just get it. Even if they haven't walked through the same struggles, they still at the core understand. Like you guys, Chelsea and Nick, we haven't been to physical church in a long time (since around March of 2020). I'm scared with the pandemic to go especially since I now have a son. I'm also fearful of going and someone actually caring how I was and then I'd have to be transparent as to how I'm doing... Ah... So many things. Anyways, thanks for this!

Thank you guys for this video. Even tho I’m not religious, what both of you said throughout the video. I’m so tired mentally and it’s at the point that I sleep till 6pm . I’ve done what I think I can to help myself and I feel nothing changing.

Love these videos I’m a young mom as well and can totally relate I have a 9 month old .

[@ninaw8186]

I’m really glad you shared this. I’m a young mom too and balancing parenthood, marriage and spiritual growth can be a lot, Jesus has us but still can be hard. We go to growth. Community and that helps a lot, but like yesterday I cried Bc my expectations of getting a job from home so I can be there with my 8 month old daughter wasn’t what I thought would be, with hours and wage not the greatest even tho I have my Bachelor’s in psychology, but have to remember Jesus has a divine plan, anyways this was super relatable 🤎

For me a lot happened in a short period of time and it led me to anxiousness.. Thankfully I have a job that keeps me busy so that I take things off my mind for a while. But when the evening comes I struggle.. Sometimes a lot, other times not so much but it’s there. At the same time I try my best to believe God is with me, and he is, but I feel so alone and yet afraid to spend time with someone else… The other day at church seeing everyone enjoying their time, singing and cheering God broke me… All I could do is look at them and cry because I didn’t feel the way they did, it was even hard for me to stand up as if I just ran a marathon.. That’s when I realised how exhausted I was physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.. But I thank God every day for being with me even if I don’t feel or see him in every aspect. And I also thank you to let me share my struggles, God bless us all 💝💝💝

Wow this helped me so much. I’m going through it right now as well. My boyfriend and I just broke up over secret sexual immorality in his life and we had been talking about getting engaged soon. I feel like my desire to get married and have children is farther away and I’m thankful that God answered my prayer of clarity in our relationship but I’m so confused about the direction of my life and why he hurt me and I’m grieving the loss of my love. I feel pressure to be doing fine already but this was so encouraging to me to remember that it’s okay for me to feel intense emotions and worship God at the same time. Job 1:21b The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”

I am reading this book, and the author talks about how she used to view herself as needy. She asked God to help remove that name from her because she viewed it as negative. Instead of removing the name, God redeemed the name in her mind. The following sentences are directly from the book: "In fact, we are most human in our need for God. To deny that is to deny our authentic humanity."
