If you’d been strictly Christian growing up do you think you would have stayed on the path or fallen away? I was raised christian but the past few years I’ve been like half Christian half of the world and really just don’t know how to come back. Like it’s so hard to be a Christian. It’s like everything I do is a sin and like being a true Christian would feel miserable. I’m lost and need help. Pls.

[@nickbenjamin3546]

I love the fact you guys are addressing sin and repentance. So many pastors and Churches leave sin and repentance out of their message, but sanctification is true fruit of salvation. For the longest time I was having the same struggle as Ron, but Gods grace is amazing. Like you both said and it says in Matthew 5:30, cut it off! We fight sin on three fronts, the world, the flesh, and the devil. Thank you Jesus for saving me. Grace and peace you guys. All glory to God!

[@sighcabs2416]

Something tells me that God definitely had a reason why - not only He got you two married together - as this marriage is such a great blessing not to mention both of your testimony - not only to "baby Christians" but also to Christians who have been (clueless) Christians their whole life but still hasn't radically change (some aspects of) their life/lifestyle for God yet still plans on getting to know God more as the hunger is still in there. And I, in some ways, am also guilty of that. The differences of your testimony give such hope to people who are new to being a Christian and trying to find their way into the faith who possibly are in the situation that is similar to either one of your stories. I think Ronnie's an awesome reminder to keep moving forward with your walk no matter how hard or sometimes confusing it may be and just keep pursuing and pushing your journey with the Lord. And Mel's life-changing testimony is definitely a great encourager to new believers to not be afraid of letting go of your past life and about trusting what God tells you to do and about the outcome of the plans He had desired and designed for you. I adore you guys both! Blessings ❤️

Your so right. It is a process. Lately I have been telling people. I didn’t have a Damascus moment, I have had a DAMASCUS LIFE. Philippians 1:6 KJV: Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Thank you Ronnie and Mel for being a light of hope directing people to everlasting life, JESUS CHRIST.

To take the course in the small moments has really helped me. Putting myself in the mindset to choose Him, the spirit over the flesh in all the little moments every day.

Tough decision but I couldn’t live with someone who isn’t believe.

[@iriss2901]

@@carolinadillon3197 I know many girls are in the same situation, I met them on youtube😁 Just do it for Jesus. He will be happy with you and you may be sad but you will have peace. Not only that but God is saving you for something even better, he also protects you from destruction. I end up my relationship after a 3 and half years. He was wonderful boyfriend and he believed in God but he was not saved and didn't care much about Him and that always made me sad deep inside of me. I couldn't even picture myself with him in the future because we weren't on the same page. If I didn't brake up something worse would happen. I know that. Do it for God. Focus more on him. Read scripture especially challenging verses like: if you want yo be my follower you must deny yourself take up your cross and follow me. You can't be Jesus's follower if you don't deny yourself. Also, read Mathew 19:29: and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother of wife.... For my sake WILL receieve a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life! That is Jesus promise to YOU. Remeber also! He loves you whatever you do, but he will be more happier with you when you obey him. You will not regret it. I only regret that it took me so long to do that. Do it for God he loves you more than anyone on this earth, he died for you, live for him☺️❤️❤️❤️ (sory if my english is bad, love you)

Jesus will use your story to inspire other "messes" out there to come to Him. Because if, "YOU can do it, they can to". You are blessed and are being used by God.

I listened to this again. Transition before seeing the goodness of the Lord. I have been a Christian from 2012 and i have messed million tims but this year starting last month I experienced this immense courage inside me. I used to be so weak in even petty issues. But last month I just don't know coz I kept asking myself if this is truly me. I triumphed over my fears. I don't know where God is leading me but with all my heart I bow down to Him. I can't let go, I feel my heart bursting out with joy, peace, faith on God. Its undescribable feeling. Am single yet not worried anymore it's like I have let it all out. God is truly amazing.

[@joychepngeno4283]

I used to always think am like how Ronnie has testified how he stayed in where he was and change to his life came where he was. But honestly as of now am not sure where I fall into. May God speak to me

[@brianket863]

Really looking for that freedom and I’m so thankful God is a patient and forgiving God because I know now exactly what I want in life and that’s to let Jesus be my captain. I know God will fully trust me not to go back to sin from this point moving forward. I’m so done with trying to do things on my own thinking I can do it by my self. I want to serve the kingdom and be the best of person I can be because I know God has been with me and I’m so very very thankful he hasn’t gave up on me. Teach me lord your ways amen

[@rachellehill963]

Ive stumbled so many times and it took me at least 14 years to completely come back to God and give him my all. When I did that, the lure of getting drunk, sleeping around and swearing like a sailor didn't feel right. I had to find the reasons why and realise what i can do to combat against it. More importantly though i needed to change my mindset and how i see myself and how God sees me

[@rmd1477]

I started reading the gospels today, opened up a bibel for the first time. got through a few pages and enjoyed it but also got confused. 😊 for the rest of the day though my breath was slow and deep. I was focused like never before. I was, still am grounded in an amazing way! Feel great! Will read more tomorrow. Thank you for day no 1!

[@sararivera6952]

Continue making videos like this 😍 It made me reflect back and try to identity when did my journey begin. I was raised Catholic. I’m baptized, did the communion and confession. I I have been happily married (not through the church) to the same man for 27 years. Have only one son, now 20 yrs and serving our country with the US Coast Guard. But can’t say I had a relationship with Jesus Christ. My journey towards developing a faithful and loving relationship with Christ is a work in progress with many tests to strengthen my faith in trusting God and His will. Reflecting back on my journey’s beginnings I believe it began 5 years ago when I read “Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children” by Allison Bottke. I was trying to make sense of how to improve the relationship between my sister and her only son, now 25 yrs old. The big take away a learned from Allison was; accepting that we can’t control what belongs to God. We must let go and let God. Surrender our worries to Him. But to do this you must come from a place of faith ... develop a trusting loving relationship with Jesus Christ. This is when I began to questioned and asked myself; Do I have a relationship with Christ? What does that look like? How do I get there? Am I overstepping God’s boundaries? Am I guilty of trying to control what belongs to God? So here I am seeking to learn the word of God, which led me to Joel Osteen and now to your channel. Thank you God for being in my life and surrounding me and my loved ones with Christians that deliberately seek your love and teachings to be saved by our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏❤️ Amen

Hello my brother and sister in Christ this video was powerful to me and I will share it because this life we live in Christ Jesus is not easy and it's truly impossible to do without Him and his Word but with other Christians, worship music, sermons, us reading the Bible for ourselves we learn to love Jesus back and want to do those things that are pleasing in his sight because he is so good and loving and he deserves all the praise and glory. He is so beautiful, his heart, his patience, his mercy, his love its indescribable. Thank you so much for this video it was timely in my life and it helps me continue fighting the good fight.

[@sharonz2992]

Thank you so much. I enjoyed it during this extended lockdown.So true, I started with reading the bible alone when I accepted JESUS as my Saviour, it was so awesome.When I got to the new testament I was so shocked, there was someone who loved me so much. I had so much self-loathing, didn't think anyone loved me (I still sometimes struggle with this due to bad bad acne, but I am taking a day at a time).When I was reading the gospels, it was like the Love of GOD was pouring out onto me. All that selfhate completely went, I was so shocked. The emptiness I felt (depressed thoughts, unsatisfied feeling with life) all disappeared when I invited JESUS into my heart.The road of my relationship with GOD has not been easy, as you've stated, you have to make choices that either allow GOD to move in your life or allow the flesh to rule over your life.When you do things that are against the WORD of GOD, you basically giving satan free reign into your life and that is what prompted me to not stay in sin but strive to do the things of GOD. satan is the one who hates me and wants to destroy me, why should I do things that makes him rejoice over me, but being human it is not easy but it is a process. It is a choice that you make not only everyday but in every situation .Thanks again for the video, GOD Bless you both. Continue to do what GOD has called you to do and remain strengthened in your daily life.

[@RonnieandMel]

Thank you for sharing your testimonies! My experience of finding a new life in Christ is more like Ronnie's, it was not a quick transformation, but slow daily reminder of how my old way of living and thinking was a sin, and despite knowing all that, it was still difficult to kill that old self life. I want Ronnie to not feel bad because your story resonated with my own walk back to Christ.

[@JuicyJ5504]

This video was incredibly helpful thank you so much. I was in that dangle since January and am finally pushing through the purge phase. My entire wardrobe, apartment, social circle looks different and yes there were many times it was difficult because I felt like I had “given up” all this “stuff” and wasn’t feeling or seeing the Lord. It’s getting easier the closer I walk to him to see the truth and start to understand why I had to go through that process. Your videos and suggestions have been super helpful and given me the hope in my ability to move through this process no matter what environment I am in at the time. Again thanks so much for all the info because I didn’t need to be as “lost” in the beginning and felt support from your stories and suggestions through your channel! God Bless you both and your ministry 🙏✨❤️

I stumbled on your wedding video and “how we met” video some months ago and have since been so encouraged by how real and mature you guys are and how truth saturated your videos are. It’s just really cool to me how God can use anyone and how He uses so many different people from so many different backgrounds and stories! I also feel like KZbin has become such a great platform to reach the younger modern generations. If someone had told my younger (more judgmental) self that I would be getting encouragement from a guy in full body tattoos I would’ve thought they were crazy.

[@MsBeloved89]

Thank you for your ministry! What I have been doing lately is replacing my free time (now I have more free time bc of COVID-19 lol) with being in God's Word and learning about Him more instead of watching Netflix. Movies and shows can be an idol for me, so I have reduced my hrs watching TV with growing my relationship with Jesus.

[@RonnieandMel]

Amen! It’s about the replacing! Keep going for it! He is proud of you! Bless you

[@charlesettamathurin3341]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You'll are exactly what I need!

[@iaimanda8085]

Thank you Ronnie and Mel for being such an inspiration...Hearing your stories encourages me... I had to make choices, which were so painful and difficult back then...im still walking...still a baby on this journey...but God has been so good and so gracious...Thank you for you stories...because at times i beat myself up and feel like giving up...but hearing about your walk when you first became Christian...inspires me and motivates me...so Thank you....💓

[@RonnieandMel]

It is always a process! Don’t give up! The Christian journey many times feels like 3 steps forward and two steps back but He loves it when we get back up and keep going. It’s all because of LOVE! We love Him so we keep going!

[@iaimanda8085]

True that...He is truly worth it...💓

Thanks guys, you are amazing, thank God for you, may God bless you and your ministry, with many fruits

[@shelleydamsel4807]

You both are stars for Christ!

[@mollygreen8557]

Thank you guys for all that you're doing. You are helping us a lot with sharing the knowledge and how-to's of what being a Christian is. Thank you for being honest and relatable.

[@beloverssl3255]

"I cannot call myself a Christian and live this way"🙏 Surrender yourself to God and that will literally save your soul! There is nothing God cannot do for himself send his beloved son, Jesus Christ to die for us! You are worthy in Christ no matter how much you sin, he died for you and he will do it again if he had to because God is love.

[@JesusIsKingofKings187]

Amen ✝️ ❤😊🙏💯

[@bettymofokeng3404]

So professional and great insight and biblical ♥️♥️♥️

[@danraw4626]

Can totally relate with your walk Ronnie, I was deep into the music scene and everything that came along with it. Especially struggling in the early walk. Thanks for your transparency brother 👊🏻🕊

[@puteegual]

Thanks for sharing your story and I feel I can relate. It's been about 9 months that I started to read the Bible, listen to sermons and worship music. I also had to let go of some friends and I'm off of social media. I have my sister and one of my friends that I bombard with all sorts of questions on anything in the Bible and about Jesus. I made up my mind to stop drinking in February 1st (this year) and haven't had the urge to have any kind of alcohol since. Another friend said that when God calls on you, there's nothing that can stop you from getting to Him. I'm still learning a lot everyday when I read scripture. I feel the Holy Spirit's presence and I feel so blessed. For anybody who is even curious about getting to know Jesus, just go for it!

[@katherinejoy9048]

LOVE you guy's content! So thankful for your channel, that you follow Jesus and He is Lord for you both. Please pray for my brother to fully return to Jesus .. hes on that journey just like you were Ronnie 🙌🏻 Praying for you guys, blessings

[@RonnieandMel]

Yes praying! Lord bring Kats brother fully back to you and find His fulfillment in you alone! Bless you!!

[@anitaa24]

God Bless, thanks for sharing. ✝️🙏

[@bygracethroughfaith589]

Your best video! I've seen it over ten times by now haha

[@killashot09]

Thank you Ronnie and Mel. In a season where I am learning to trust God as my true satisfaction, this was much needed. At times it is by trial and error, but like you guys said, just keep going and believe that Jesus is better than all else that the world has to offer. Blessings and more of God's grace to you guys. Thank you for all that you do! Y'all are awesome!!

[@dlindapearson4575]

So encouraging! So glad I stumbled upon your channel!

[@RonnieandMel]

We are glad too! Great to have you with us! Bless you

[@litaraallan8685]

This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing Ronnie and Mel! So grateful for your ministry!

[@ariguerreroh]

I really love this video !!! Lots of love from Venezuela. ❤️ I really love your channel

[@juliepinc9172]

You two are an incredible power couple! Keep doing what your doing! We need more people to step up like you have!

[@GlamGolightly]

This video sooo blessed your listeners. Thank you for sharing, I hope that you continue to do videos like this. Mel, you mentioned when you joined a young adults group there was a strict list of rules like no dating for one year that you had to abide by. Would you be able to publish what you can recall of those rules somewhere? I’m guessing it would be an expanded version of your singleness guide rules, which would be so helpful. Thank you for your ministry, I just found you guys and really needed to hear the truth from you at this time of my life after a stumble.

[@RonnieandMel]

Hi Hayley! Thanks for watching and glad you found us! The dating rule was the main one, at least the main one that was hard for everyone haha. If you go to our KZbin Channel, on the front page you will find lots of Playlists, including our Relationship Series and we had three videos on boundaries. You can also download our Success in Singleness Guide at ronnieandmel.com/singlesguide which may be helpful! The other rules were no drinking during the program and then mostly schedule stuff - having a prayer time each day, certain corporate prayer meetings/services, serve the youth group, certain Bible classes etc. hope that helps! Glad to have you with us sis!

[@beencouragedinthelord9796]

Thank you! God bless you both!

[@daliadee741]

This is great, I really needed this, I was confused about many things being a new Christian. Thank you for this video

[@briannaschatz2960]

Thank you for making this video. I relate to Ronnie’s slow maturation so much, and it helped to hear how you both struggled and put off the old life to replace it with the new life. What I’m going to try now is to make a list of “rules” (but more like life-giving rules) that I must follow that will help me grow in my relationship with Jesus and to mature in my faith by leaving those old sins behind. So glad to hear from you guys even during this time of quarantine and to see God visibly working in and through you both. God bless you!

[@RonnieandMel]

That is so awesome sister! It’s the choices that make all the difference. Keep going for it! Bless you!

Hey you two! ❤️ I've watched nearly all of your videos and I just wanted to give feedback: My favorite ones are these longer ones (even 40 minutes like here!) where you just talk about your experiences. It's so authentic and inspiring, I'd looove to see more videos like this one right here. I'm also excited for the Gospel series! God bless you and happy Easter ❤️🙏
