Go the Distance - Christian Version (Hercules Parody)

[@resoundparody]

Imagine if "Go the Distance" was a Christian song. Picture the prodigal son: far from his father, uncertain where he belongs, and just beginning his journey home. But while he is still a long way off, his father runs to him in welcome. And that’s really good news. Because Jesus says this isn’t just a story about one dad and his son. This is the story about the God of the Bible and his relationship with each one of us. None of us can close the distance that separates us from God - we can never be good enough to work our way home. It’s the pursuing love of our Father, through Jesus, that brings us back where we belong. Want to understand this song better?

Is is Joseph❓

[@Demonoicgamer666]

Yes there are some comparisons but the difference is Hercules in the beginning was made mortal however since he did not drink the entire potion he maintained his strength so he could become a god again Hercules was at home with those who adopted him but he was a Demi god so knowing his origins was important, also Zeus could not just leave Olympus because he’s a god the head god and as a god his job had to come first but when Hercules prayed Zeus revealed himself so it’s not like he wasn’t there for his son. Gods can’t just leave there post wrath of the titans informs us of why Zeus tells us that without the gods the universe would collapse however like with the titans Demi gods can take over. The point is Zeus can’t just leave his post.

Hi guys! This is just outstanding songs As may read from my previous comments I'm begging you to make your Spotify account related to this stuff. I just wanna you to notice comments like this and do something with that. And I'm asking. Are you okay with that?

[@pbilk]

I love the messages you imbed these biblical messages in these parodies. I love it!

[@Cole778]

Ive had many ideas of Paroding Disney songs for Christ I even did one for Hamilton but Im only good at doing little snippits, I struggle doing the whole song

[@retharowe750]

I've listened to "We Must Talk About Jesus", "Worth All the World" and now "Close the Distance" and I REALLY want to see more of this content! These are brilliant! And SO doctrinally accurate! Its hard to find that combination! Keep up the good work! 🙏

[@CoreyLewis-ws7il]

I agree! ❣

[@kimberlyfoss4787]

I've been doing this for years, changing the words of all songs to be for our Father in Heaven and Jesus, they do it way better....lol....I love them. I agree with you on your song choices too.

[@sovereignofprotection]

How about 'WE Know THE WAY' from Moana?

[@GracelynBuettner]

@@sovereignofprotection YES!!!

[@seanphiliplasque]

I'd say that making Christian-religious parodies of songs from well-known family animated movies targeted mainly at younger audiences is a good way to appeal to the younger generations as they can easily relate to it. Good way to share the message of Jesus, and I hope for the most that this will in fact be genuine for the most part. And if so, great work! I admire it and share with you my prayers. Know that you are not alone.

[@lussiusanderson7844]

This song brought me to tears. I've been through so much, it feels like God is calling me back to Him.

[@ColinWallace-bv3io]

It’s so beautiful that I started to cry a bit because that’s what truly happens when you start to follow Jesus and think you can do it all on your own but He is the one who closes the distance

[@michaelhadley1286]

Im honestly still lost myself. I dont know what to really believe anymore, I remember when I was young, I was so passionate and believed so much, but I don't know when or where I started to stray away. I feel terrible for it, and I'm slowly trying to find my way again. It just proves challenging for me. I have three kids, two daughters, and one son. Just got JKV bible for myself to start reading again. And a kids illustrated version to get them involved. I've been doing a lot of research on ways to teach them about everything, Jesus, the bible, etc. My son is 2, my youngest daughter is 3, turning 4 this October, and the eldest is 6 going on 7. My biggest regret was somewhere losing my faith, and that's honestly the last thing I want to happen to them. They love these songs, though I do as well. I'm 30 this June, so I grew up with the same movies and songs I show to them. Please keep it up and keep making more. Bless you.

[@favianee]

It’s not too late. Ask Jesus to bring you home 🙂

[@mollymitchell1926]

I think sometimes life just wears you down. I lost 80% of my family (many in difficult ways) by the time I was 30. I still feel like I am just getting through the day sometimes. Keep running the race. When we all get to heaven the trials of this life will fade away, and what a day of rejoicing that will be. I will pray for you.

[@LovedLamb]

this song reminds me of the two parables in Luke 15 about the lost sheep who a shepherd found and rejoiced at reuniting with his sheep. The chapter continues with another story called "lost son" a father had two sons one who left and wasted money and another who was always on the fathers side and was good and when the son who wasted money came back the father started a party cuz he was so happy to have him back. The son who was always by his side was a bit jealous and asked why there was no party for him and the father said "you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” Also reminder Jesus is our shepherd in John 10:11-15.

[@danielmorrison5378]

I am praying for you michael. keep researching and you will find your faith.

[@zowaynewilliams9360]

Our relationship with Christ is just that a relationship. As such it has ups and downs. It isn't more real in the ups or less real in the downs. Faith demands believing it is still there, even when we can't feel it. So I suggest fix your eyes on the love of God and not the passion that once was.

[@eliezerosorio2127]

The prodigal son parabole as the Hercules song! Genius! 😭

[@joshuanathan358]

I've loved all that you've done with these songs and making them religious to share the Gospel! As a person striving to write my own lyrics, I've learned a lot about/from the things you've done and it really made a difference.

This is absolutely beautiful, so glad I stumbled upon your channel. What a cool way to honor and glorify Christ!

[@jimmyleavesacomment]

I haven't shed tears like this in a long time, and it was deeply needed. I had distanced myself from faith for nearly two decades before I chose to trust in God, His word, and to understand what it means to have a relationship with Him. I've been drawn back to faith, yet I harbored doubts about whether I should return after such a long absence, questioning if God had forsaken me. Amidst these doubts, I felt as though I was enveloped in great arms, swept off my feet. It's incomprehensible that He, after all I've done, would still consider me His child and welcome me into His embrace. His love is truly immeasurable! Thank you, Father!

[@resoundparody]

Thank you for sharing your story! Praise God for using this video to reaffirm the amazing love of God for you. It's unbelievable but it's true! He is a forgiving, faithful Father. And he will never give up on you! May he keep you firmly grounded in this truth.

[@StrongTower7]

Do Cinderella “So this is Love”

[@jessmdz]

😍

[@eternalblade2481]

I think its amazing how much you can feel the power and amount of faith in the voices and writing and it really touches me. I have a suggestion/recommendatuon, i think it would be really nice to hear god help the outcasts from a new christian point of view, seeing as it is already slightly christian its always been a song thar i think resonated with my faith i would love to see how that would fit in a different christian context.

[@My-mind_me.]

I would love to see that too!

[@MK-pq3dj]

I am so thankful for the creative ideas of transforming our childhood songs into much more beautiful songs; ones with such wonderful messages from our Lord!❤

[@maggiesheartlove2734]

I just subscribed to your channel. As a christian and long time disney fan who is saddened by its current state, this channel is a beautiful reminder that we can use these old classics to point to Jesus. I do hope you do versions from songs of the movie Wish. Those songs desperately need a gospel makeover.

[@jeniwang1147]

Please never stop making these!! I can’t tell you how I cried when I heard the second chorus, “I couldn’t close the distance.” I’m just standing here making breakfast and sobbing in front of my one year old. Are you on Spotify? I would pay for these songs!

[@riyanna_lei]

Are you the one I've been looking for - You are the one we've been waiting for All of my life? - All of this time blah blah blah And that's all I had lol Pretty much about waiting on Lord Philippians 3:20 (NIV): "But our citizenship is in heaven.

My friend, you experience GOD for yourself, they will be mere superficial gratification and wasted. Isaiah 55:1-3 | “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters, and you who have no money: come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not Satisfy? Listen, listen to Me, and eat what is Good, and you will Delight in the Richest of fare. Give ear and come to Me; listen, that you may Live. I Will Make an everlasting Covenant With you, My Faithful Love Promised to David." Romans 4:23-25 | “'Righteousness was credited to Abraham' was written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom GOD Will Credit Righteousness-for us who believe in Him Who Raised Jesus Christ our Lord from the dead. He was Delivered over to death for our sins and was Raised to Life for our Justification."
