Come awn preacha'! I am not defined by what I DO, but what He DID for me! I'm so glad I no longer have to "find" my identity, or try identifying myself by my hobbies, or the things I'm not good at. But merely as a child of God, who was a sinner, but is just saved by grace. I didn't do anything, so that means EVERYONE'S eligible.

[@DLmadison100]

Great message! God Bless the disciple that Jesus loves!

[@dmsneddon50]

Absolutely---John got it---He KNEW Jesus loved him, He received it completely. Love that!! Good Word Mike, love your faithfulness and love.

[@QuinncyMoss]

Pray for me every one that GOD will use me for his will and his glory and to tell others about him

[@glendaaaax3]

I love you, Mike. Thank you for bringing me closer to Jesus through this mini-series and through your music. 'Tis the point, ey? All glory to Him.

[@angelamalonzo3428]

"I wanna be the disciple that Jesus loves, she goes, 'mm-hmm, John." Lol. You are such a light! I love watching this video journal over and over again.

[@Jibbersweet55]

I remember learning the bible with the felt board and using it to teach the bible. This makes me want to read the bible... thank you for this entry. We surely are the disciples that Jesus loves.

[@brokenblondehart]

Dear Mike, you are funny and your messages are always exactly what I need to hear. Lord, thank You for giving Mike a voice and a personality and messages that I need to hear. Oh-kay. Come to Detroit (not Allegan, Detroit please). Thanks. Bye.

[@hannamcrobbie1172]

So clearly and beautifully explained!! God is love Amen!

[@BenShutUp]

My identity is "the disciple that Jesus loved." Thank you I needed that. I've been having a lot of trouble with tying my self-worth to my grades and other failures.

[@mizzLinsey]

I really do like Mike Donehey guys. He really does encourage me. Guys he's really cool. He's my role model.. I kinda listen to his music a lot. For real guys.

[@SillyLittleTunes]

That is the best understanding of that verse i have ever heard. God has most definetly given you the gift of prophecy. Thank you for sharing your music and your joy in Christ. :) you have helped me, and i know so many others, to put our eyes back on Jesus and not ourselves. May God bless you, as He already is. :)

[@0110Geek]

I love these Video Journals!

[@samiamshaffer2336]

LOOOOVVVEEEDDD the felt board stories!!!!! I can't believe you're even old enough to remember that!!!

[@danielmadhukarawale]

Mike and Joseph Prince always encourage me!!!

[@katbawar24]

Nobody must ever hate this video!!!! Don't let anyone click the 'thumbs down' button.

[@sarajeanlapitan]

Keep these video journals coming! Not only do I love tenth avenue North for their music, but for things like this! I learn so much from everything they say! When they perform live they give every bit of glory to God rather then themselves! I can easily see that they have a relationship with God, it shows through everything they do and say, and it encourages me! I love you guys! May God KEEP blessing you! I hope you know how many lives God impacts through you!

[@martiel123]

incredible concept ... I am beloved, because HE LOVES ME.

[@jessface777]

Thank you for making these videos! And for knowing the Word!

[@TheHalfTrad]

Mike can be funny, but he has this amazing view of Christ that blows me away! What a cool way to think of this!

[@LevitePsalm]

Prophet Mike, keep sharing the Word! God bless you more and more! Hope you guys can visit Winnipeg too.

[@JesuscantergallopTB]

Amen, his preaching is very refreshing. It's true, our identity is just that brothers and sister s, the disciple whom Jesus loves

[@bowiehs]

This is one poweful video, God bless this band.

[@OppDeathAngel]

No matter our failures AND our successes, our identity is found in Christ. Wow, I like that (: Thanks Mike!

[@ABush-im2gm]

Got to Love Mike's Voices lmbo

[@yuliyanikiforets]

I recently noticed the same thing! So this video caught my eye. I totally saw it as John being narcissistic like you said... thanks for showing the flip side of it- his humility. That side of it never crossed my mind. Amen. I AM the disciple whom Jesus loves.

[@Addicted2Guitars]

I heard this last night at SWC! i loved it

[@msbjack1]

You are awesome! thank you for explaining it in such a way *bliss*

[@ash102796]

I am the disciple Jesus Loves♥

[@godsgrl6]

Thanks again, Mike, for a good word in only the way that you can bring it! BLESSINGS!

[@kswan4christ]

The felt board! Lol! I know it oh so well. But, there is no WAY you are old enough to remember the felt board. What in the world? You bless me, Mike Donehey. You're one of the good guys, and you just get it. God bless you richly, brother.

[@Sasukereturns]

Ok, so I was reading the end of John one day, right, and Peter was talking about the disciple that Jesus loved, and John finally tells us that the writer of the book was that disciple. My mind was BLOWN and I got a little suspicious that John referred to himself like that. Now that I see this video, everything is as plain as day. Thanks, Mike Donehey.

[@leahbranford6238]

I always laugh in horror at the teacher (what kind of Sunday school teacher is THAT!) and at Mike's imitations of her! This is very encouraging

[@TheMichelCartier]

I need a LOVE Button!!!!!

[@bobbigraffunder720]

I also grew up with flannel-graph and have spent my whole live in church. You just explained something I have never heard addressed before. Thank you for sharing. I love seeing the Bible through your lens.

[@codenamecarma]

"And they levitate, it's magic!" Best description of a felt board, EVER!

[@JoshuaSamuel89]

Great message. I have also heard Pastor Prince (NCC) preach along these same lines

[@fillysunray]

"And they levitate, it's magic." Haha, he made me laugh. I remember those felt boards.

[@Rachelicious1001]

I remember you told us about John being Jesus' best friend at your last concert in Charlotte, NC and my friend and I have kind of made it a big joke when we talk about John in church to say how he is the one that Jesus loved. :)

[@awesomeAwestynne]

U guys r amazing!! Thnx so much for all ur amazing videos and all ur AMAZING music!!:)

[@MooHead001]

Thank you SO much for all your videos, they are such a help! (PS I love your voices!)

[@lisbethespinoza2449]

This is great.

[@tenthavekylie406]

i am a disciple that Jesus loves.

[@micaelaroyo4837]

I love Jesus and I love Tenth Avenue North so I knew this was the video for me❤

[@ElijahK100]

WOW! You have some pretty powerful messages! That's something that makes your live show so awesome (the way you guys describe God and what he does for us). You should have some of the other guys do a journal every once and a while, though.

[@briannabermudez4908]

Haha he is so funny, I love listening to him. Everything he says is easy to understand yet it has such a deep meaning.

[@suzannewaldner3062]

soso good! thank you

[@11budwiserbunny]

I absolutely love this! I've always thought about the book of John!! lol

[@mae_youbeokay4]

So cool! (: & yes, back in the day I had the felt board for sunday school too, hah!

[@catlover229]

Your videos are so inspiring!

[@JesusLovesPiano94]

Wooow. The fifth 1John allusion in the last 3 weeks (and it's not even a big book). I have GOT to sit down and read 1 John. Thanks for your explanations and wisdom, Mike. I can never get enough of what you have to say. If you were to tell someone the ugliest thing ever, it would still sound good. Lol

[@sfn2014]

i am a deciple of jesus!!!

[@rbcphotogirl]

wonderful.

[@Chrispbacon94]

this made me smile thank you Mike

[@mo5951]

so cool!!

[@danfish9964]

great speaker and so peaceful

[@Fgmblog]

Obstacles are trials of faith confronting the disciple with his/her need for God’s succor in order to continue the course

[@carinagomez9405]

Love this :)

[@switchgirl182]

Ahh!! The felt board!! My favorite memory of Sunday school :)

[@KNyamekye]

lol the flannel board I am remembering my Baptist days hehe, anyway this was really insightful, I didn't understand the disciple whom Jesus loved thing fully myself, but now I do and it just makes sense the way you explained it, thank you :)

[@spicyseeds]

John is my favorite apostle. He is the most peculiar. And among the other things you mentioned (his title, custody of Mary, only disciple present at crucifixion) he is believed to be the only one who wasn't martyred. Everyone else was. Very interesting...

[@mssgracie]

You are blessed, thank you~~

[@hawknelsonlover12]

i love the felt boards! (:

[@susanneson9245]

Aggggr....i wish I could like this more than once, God bless you dude. 👊🏾 I was really mind bogged by this.😃

[@Leahmosier1]

"I want to be Jesus' best friend!" "Ah! nnooo. John." Haha! How amazing this explanation is! :)

[@jennapieper5623]

he's voice when he is the teacher

[@sircrazytrain]

Yes, the felt board

[@NomoreSaulNowImPaul]

Before we get all fired up and say, "Man, Mike is so awesome!", or "Mike's got the gift of prophecy!" Let me say a couple things. 1. This video was simply down-right truthful and we should let that benefit us. 2. I wouldn't say Mike has been given "the gift of prophecy", ya see, when the bible talks about being given spiritual gifts, a commandment can not be a gift. We're commanded to read the bible... Mike has 'awesome-ly' been faithful to studying and reading his bible. - Caleb

[@cocona96]

Thats whats up!

[@anywarachdeogratius6496]

Wonderful

[@MargaretNahmias]

Don't discourage doubt.Especially at the stage when kids are trying to figure out what to believe

[@allyoursmiles07]

hahaha Mike, your adorable!

[@742JesusFreak]

teacher - "and then here, is john. JOHN is the disciple that Jesus loves." mike - "i wanna be the disciple Jesus loves!" teacher - "mm mm, *points to board and whispers John* John was Jesus' best friend" Mike - "what!? I wanna be Jesus' best friend!" teacher - "mm mm, John"

[@deedeebolden]

Was your Sunday school teacher the church lady from SNL? ;) I love the book of John...such great stuff in that one.

[@cocona96]

lol i love that "remember john the one who laid his head on jesus' chest WASUP ;)"

[@HaWkBeAtLeSnElSoN]

i totally remember that felt board haha

[@runningwithGod13]

Who else thinks the story at the beginning would make a great act for Tim Hawkins to put in one of his shows lol!

[@fffreddie]

What doesn't make sense is that the disciple that Jesus loved was known to the high priests and sat in a much of their discussions about Jesus.

[@wasilaify]

Definitely think you have what it takes to be a pastor.

[@jmbdancer]

I want a felt board app on my Windows Phone. Lol!

[@tyedyegirl3245]

but.. I -I wanna be Jesus' best friend!

[@Williamwestp24]

The Gospel according of John. YEAH.:) That John is different from the Revelator John.

[@moosedude283]

I remember the felt board! PS Wow, after like 20 years when you guys are too old to keep up as a band, u should be a pastor!

[@MoniBahaa]

It's the same John btw...

[@maragringoful]

i dont' get it?

[@robshir3]

"You know, John, the one who laid his head on Jesus' chest, wassup?"

[@ashleysu925]

You know John...the one who laid his head on Jesus's chest wassup.

[@LexiLovesJace]

Marry me

[@1christianGal]

I was bothered that Jesus had a best friend, too...until I watched this.

[@acad07]

It was "Lazarus"... The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved John 11:1-5 (NKJV) The Death of Lazarus 11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.” 4 When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

[@darrylbrown3254]

Lazarus was NOT a Disciple. Look when Jesus chose the 12. Lazarus was not named among them. Also, look at the text, is "he whom You love is sick". Nowhere does it say Lazarus was a Disciple. I'm sorry my friend, you are wrong.

[@jsn1275]

Best Friend with benefits.. the only one layin Kinda Gay, Not that there is anything wrong with that. Just Sayn'

[@JessMCarey]

...He's married:P lol
