How To Ruin Your Life In 7 Steps (Don't Do These)

[@CrisFrancisco]

Sean, thank you for conducting this interview and prioritizing the hope that we can have in Christ before getting into the meat of the interview. Praise God who saves!

[@SeanMcDowell]

Amen!

[@Praise___YaH]

@@SeanMcDowell Sir, Here is The Savior YaH The Father (Genesis 1), YaH, Who, with His HAND, formed “man (Adam)”, from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7). It was YaH’s HAND they NAILED to the Almond Tree, to symbolize forgiveness of the “Tree of Life” sin OF “man” and thus “The Fall OF man” (Genesis 3) and YaH arrived to be Crucified via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33, Hebrew Book of Isaiah)

[@Suavemente_Enjoyer]

Praise God! Testimonies like Joshua‘s are very encouraging!

[@darrenmiller6927]

Great stuff McDowell. Some of us have a past. That's where people can never seem to get me. They look at my life, and talk with me and they wonder, why Jesus? There's a deep need for atonement and redemption in my soul. And there's the cross. I've never been a virgin. My earliest memories are sex with adults. Think about the struggles and hell that someone like me must have lived. You have no clue under God, where I've been. You can't take my Holy King, my Lord Jesus, from me, it's impossible. My life's on the line, my very sanity is at stake. I have a life, and I have no illusions about the grace I stand on. He's my life's breath, my very life. He's my reason. My friends know, that's how I love them so intensely. And for me? Love is everything, it's right where we live. He's the King of love baby, He is love. The rest of us? Time for school, so let's learn from the best.

I’m so sorry for your terrible suffering. You must be a very strong, determined person to survive all of that. 💒

[@cbpaddingtonbear2606]

God bless you, He sees your pain and your choices to honour Him and know that he promises "He who honours me, I will honour" there are beautiful things waiting for you.

[@gohawks3571]

Same, friend, same. It really messes with my head, but God (BUT GOD!) is helping me get thru and to the other side. I was raised by "Christians" who abused me, so there's been a lot of unlearning and relearning. God is real, but He cried with me❤️‍🩹 To us healing and being overcomers🫂

[@cbpaddingtonbear2606]

@gohawks3571 I was raised my Christian parents who abused me too (not sexual, but verbal,mental and physical). I hear you about the unlearning and learning God is not like that. God sees our journey and I believe the angels look in wonder and the Devil is shamed.

[@ryanbellegrave9777]

I’ve grown very fond of your videos, Sean. My wife attended Biola and was aware of you before I’d ever even became a Christian, so this channel is kind of a cool full-circle.

[@JackReacher0125]

Always encouraged by this brother's testimony. When I think of how much God changed my life and see how he did the same in Joshua's, I'm encouraged to love and pray for those who I'm desperate to see saved. He did it in my life, He did it in Joshua's, He is mighty and merciful to save.

[@timyoder2541]

Excellent interview, Joshua has a story of redemption that is extraordinary and inspiring.

[@debralee1401]

Yes, I think the "follow your heart" maxim/message we get from culture is deceptive!!

[@leluyaa]

It's the Disney religion 🙄

[@brendapeterson7039]

Amy Grant sang a song in the 80s about following your heart. That didn’t turn out so well.

This is so awesome! Your testimony will impact the Kingdom of God. Everyone has a testimony of Jesus, either you are for Christ or you are against him. There no middle ground. Blessed are the ones who received Christ and live to tell about it. Thank you Sean and Joshua!!!

[@kimmcnatt6301]

Great interview. I think Joshua has a very unique testimony and I thank you for bringing light to his book and ministry. I pray your health is better Sean and that you are fully healed from your recent health struggles. God bless you both! 🙏

[@JuliaShalomJordan]

What a great conversation. Thank you!

[@Nottoooldmama]

Great interview! God is so good! Thank you Jesus for what you did on the cross for us. We are so thankful to now have full access to our father in heaven and eternal life with you🥰

[@imlistening3218]

Thanks you guys, great conversation, can't wait to get the book!

[@kstevenson3504]

Great discussion! Some thought provoking stuff! Will check out the book to help others

[@Crosses3]

Having your dad around doesn’t save you. My husband got hooked on porn by seeing his Christian father’s Playboy and other porn at a friend’s home at age 12. We married at age 30 and for the 25 years of our marriage his sexual addiction has hung heavy upon us; stealing joy, trust, and closeness from our marriage. He is saved but he has battled his thoughts, his guilt which ironically drives him further into addiction, his need to find alternative, healthy ways to find comfort and release stress. So a dad in the doesn’t help in every case.

[@terraloft]

So much pain here, dear one. I will be praying the days ahead reveal deepening worth for you and your husband in Jesus Christ, the Word, Living and Active. If more solid support is needed, I have found Dr Henry Cloud available, current and compassionate.

i didnt really connect with his idea that we want to be in the light - to see our faults ... have not read the book - but i dont shed light on things to point out faults - but to see batter path

Too late? What about David? What about Paul? What about the thief on the cross? ??

[@hoobiedoobie-wh2gl]

Stop doing this!!! Not helping anyone with this.

[@gohawks3571]

Just because you say words, it doesn't mean they're true. I've seen & heard non Christians crying about being trapped in porn addiction too. People are trapped, and they want to be free.

[@hoobiedoobie-wh2gl]

@@gohawks3571 I agree with you ; people are enslaved and many lives are ruined. What we don’t need is x-whores and whore mongers in pulpits. This just drives me away. Feminists in the pulpit initially drove me away and now this. I can’t see a way back, I will worship on my own. Thanks but no thanks.

​@hoobiedoobie-wh2gl I don't "follow x stars". He is no longer a porn star. He repented and is saved. Your attitude would exclude the Apostle Paul, who "used" to be a murderer.

[@velkyn1]

@@paradisecityX0 Really? Curious how christians used to murder each other and people of different religions constantly. They also helped the black plague kill millions in Europe thanks to their ignorance. And christianity is responsible for the holocaust. it's so cute when each christian says the other christians are wrong but can't show his to be true. Which version of christianity is "the best thing" that happened, dear? Catholicism? Baptists? Presbyterians? etc
