[@susalkasarahi]

Dude…. Your baby is freaking adorable! It’s insane!

[@AIRWRNIFGTCWIM]

“The seeds that you plant now will be the trees that your grandchildren sit under” WOW, I really needed to hear this! Thank you both for your obedience to the Lord to make videos like this that are full of encouragement ❤

[@maryrosilia]

Chad talking about negative self-talk is the most relatable thing for me. It’s such a struggle but so important to practice taking our thoughts captive and replacing them with God’s Word!!

[@gigiof10]

My husband instituted this giving - for our birthday we would take a couple out to dinner (our treat). We wouldn't tell why we were going out, until we got there. WOW!!! It was so fun to bless someone on our birthday, instead of them blessing us with a gift!

[@janinecomia16]

Micah is such a strong little man! 💪🏻 Also love the way he looks at Chad as if he's so fascinated by his dada whenever he's talking to the camera! Have a fun trip, you guys! 💛

[@praiseadeola]

Babies are the cutest🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍 My niece is 20days old today and I am so deeply inlove with her. Her name is Light and she has brightened our world🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@JesusLightsYourPath]

My favorite part is "Is it necessary", I've heard people say that. This is the aspect that saves me from starting problems with others.

[@EliseIgland]

Thank you for the encouragement and wisdom! More of this😍

[@dianagarcia8007]

The way Micah looks at papa! Adorable

[@josephinekoch9953]

For me, two encouragements were very powerful for this moment: 1) You can't build someone up by tearing them down. // T.H.I.N.K about your words because they've got power. 2) Don't live in a friendship like "I need something from you." Be willing to invest and generously give in a friendship. And if it is a time you take to travel and leave your everyday life, do it. Thank you for your authenticity! It is so precious.

[@taniaannanil576]

Thanks so much Tori and Chad ..The THINK acronym is really encouraging!

[@blairchetram2449]

I'll definitely be taking away the tip about when I operate out of my own strength, my options in life are limited. When I invite the Spirit to move in my life THEN I'll have strength to fulfill Gods will for my life! Also this point hit me because hubby and I are pregnant with our first so it's crazy to imagine our grandkids under a big beautiful tree that will grow from seeds we plant now:) Thanks for the great words of encouragement!

[@szamosza1]

Quality friendships has a cost... That's a good one and a good remimder for me! Thank you! God bless you!

[@water_play]

The talk about shutting down the dreams is what I needed! Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷

[@anadobric2619]

Pozdrav iz Srbije za tebe❤

[@paulinajeremia998]

The way Tori was holding babyM while he did his thang 😂😂😂😂 1. If I’ve learned anything at all from this channel, is that in every circumstance, no matter how we or others perceive us, all that matters is what God says about us and that’s it🙌🏾Not to disregard any “constructive criticism” or Godly correction from others, but Chad, if you love the mustache…KEEP IT💃🏾💃🏾It’s a different look and it may take a while for us to get use to it, but hey, if you love it and it makes YOU feel more like you’re kinda growing into dad life, that’s great🙏🏾Rock that mustache like a pro💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾😂😂 And also, 99% of the things y’all talked about is what I’m learning and unlearning so it’s super cool and encouraging🙌🏾 Safe travels y’all and God bless your beautiful hearts❤️

[@sofiasurmay4749]

For me it’s the friendship and the dreaming one. Sometimes I feel lonely, not because I don’t have any friends, but because I am so busy with my everyday life, I forget to carve out time for those very special people that make my life actually amazing. And the other one really hit me, because i have been trying to get real about college; I really want to go somewhere far from home to get the experience and To get a very good education. But people around me keep telling me to be realistic about my choices (I want to study drama or dance or even literature). But I’m just going to let God surprise me ❤

[@zsofiadani970]

I loved the THINK, I feel that its gonna help me in the situation I'm in, thanks !!

[@yarrym3614]

Chad, I used to struggle with negative self talk. I wanted to be perfect. At everything, at school, at work, the way I looked. But that didn't get me anywhere good.

[@amyortiz4657]

I loved the advice on THINK. The part of if it is Necessary really hit me! Also, I love the stache! Have a great trip you three!! Praying fro safe travels.

[@caterinabicchielli8560]

This is exactly what I needed today, you guys are a blessing❤

[@aleishahicks]

This is so good!!! Amen to this encouragement! Team mustache! And your baby is absolutely beautiful!

[@inam95]

I always get excited when you guys post! Can’t wait to watch this! I hope you’re having a wonderful week with sweet baby Micah ☺️

[@miriamkvalevag2536]

"Quality friendship and mentorship comes with a cost, but it is a worthy cost", this was a good quote for my season right now. Love u guys and you inspired me so much in the last few month!

[@juniaestola3684]

Oh man, just one? Hahah they all were so good but I think the two that hit home the most for me were- “Don’t let past nightmares affect future dreams.” That put into words what I’ve been feeling and learning recently and it just clicked in my brain. There’s been so many things that God has been prompting me into that I’ve held back on because of fear from past situations. and then, two, that there is a cost in being intentional with friendships and that was encouragement I really needed! It’s very easy to slip back into the “it’s all about me” mindset and so good to be reminded of the heart Christ calls us to have in serving others and the blessing that is!

[@Gabbythorne]

Same to both of those! Right now, I'm feeling that fear as well since I'm raising funds to go on a trip on mission with EF Ultimate Break this summer. I'm not scared of the trip or being alone; I'm scared of people may think about me asking for money/ how I may look. When Chad said, "Stop settling for less than God's best," it really hit me. I can focus so much on people, what they think, or I could focus first on how the Lord has been leading me, how God is a provider, or how God already knows everything that' s going to happen.

[@abigailboal5683]

@Tori and Chad Masters I LOVEEE YOU ALL!!!!

[@dianatelles3377]

I enjoyed this video so very much. Both of you gave sincere and clear wisdom. My biggest takeaway or realization after listening to each of you is let's not put ourselves in a box if we are not to put our Creator GOD in a box! I often say not to put God in a box but didn't think much about what I do to myself! God definitely does not keep us in a box. He is constantly trying to get to me through my self-made box. No more 🤗

[@praiseadeola]

The moustache looks good sir!!!! Micah🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Thank you so much for this video💖💖💖 True Honour Inspiring Necessary Kind Super grateful for this!

[@keishacadette6437]

I can't pin point a single thing that I loved most..all these were such beautiful pieces of advice!❤️

[@viktoriyaanissimova5871]

Thank you for this video! The tip that I most often use in my life is: friendships are intentional and should be led as such. However, the tip that I think I needed to hear was the one after. You should not be afraid to say "no" to something impulsive or quick. Actually!!! My stepdad taught me this and I have slowly started applying it to my life. Whenever something calls for a quick decision (ex: you want to find an apartment and one came up but you have to sign the lease today), take a step back and talk to God about it. I watched a video the other day where someone said that God is patient and takes time with his blessings. He plants seeds very early on that can sprout months or even years later. If something seems to be exactly what you are looking for and it is approaching you very quickly, take some time to make sure that it is not a "detour" that the enemy is using to manipulate you. Straying away from impulsivity and practicing patience is key if you want to give time for God to prepare you for what He envisions your life to be.

[@mckennar2699]

The encouragements in this video are fire! 🔥 Thanks for sharing Tori & Chad!

[@JesusLightsYourPath]

I like how he spoke about saying negative things about ourselves. The only thing that has helped me is to stop looking in the mirror as much, when I get home from an event, if I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror i immediately think I look terrible. Now i don't give myself the option to do that.

[@Anaya301]

Touch wood! Your kid is adorable❤️❤️❤️

[@barbarboyland2877]

Micah is so adorable and he is getting so big what a handsome little man

[@Sarah-sr8zw]

Also Chad is one of the FEW who can actually rock the stache!

[@sarahebeid6382]

Wow. Thanks so much for the encouragement!

[@melissa_ann_p]

Chad keep the mustache it’s fun ! Lol! Also I loved what you spoke of about investing in friendships ! You are both so right. When you give freely with your whole heart rewards come back in waves… I am so thankful for the friendships I have fostered in my church all due to volunteering and teaching … God Bless you all as you embark on your month long trip !!

[@iuliaturcas4348]

Sending you my love and my prayers 🧡 may God bless you in everything you do! You are such a blessing and encouragement for this lovely community and we cherish you infinitely 🤗

[@dianatelles3377]

I forgot to say Thank you! Oh and your son is the CUTEST!

[@lilits.8425]

Love this 🙏🏽 So encouraging

[@maddieziari6974]

Wow, I needed ALL of that wisdom. Thank ya'll so much! So thankful for you both. Praying safe and sweet travels over you! ❤

[@tahlia4189]

You don't understand how much I needed this! That 'T.H.I.N.K' acronym is so helpful! Tori and Chad, you are such a blessing 🤍

[@madieworden2080]

So good! I SO needed to hear this! Love the way Micah at the dinner table was just loving y’all talking! Thank you for sharing about friendships! A partial answered prayer for me! I am currently praying for godly friendships in my life and this is helped me and how I could treat and serve friends. Thank y’all for sharing your videos so much! Always helpful to me! Thank you for always pointing to Jesus!

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Love the channel 💗

[@El-Mazz]

Very random - as this isn’t related to the topic: but cheering myself up through my singleness with you guys ❤ imagining that what God has prepared for me - is of the quality of what you guys have/have built 🙌🏼. Love you from Dubai!

[@lucypope2211]

Thank you both for always being so vulnerable and open! ❤

[@chichielem1843]

Awesome video🤗🤗 I liked the encouragement that we can't build others up by tearing them down!

[@wendyhall495]

Great advice and prospectives, Thank you!

[@DaniqueMiddelberg]

Wow! I love you guys 💛 always so much wisdom from the Lord!

[@shaughnsmit2076]

Keep it!

[@jensenostrand1542]

Yess I’m lovin the stash

[@ariairida]

Loved the first point you guys! So grateful!

[@yarrym3614]

You guys are a true inspiration and I can relate to Tori's speaking kindly, honourably, truthfully. But I can also see that as we are all human, the tone is definitely a real struggle for me as well. Like a person face to face, or even over the phone can sometimes sense that you are upset or angry even when tone wise you are not using any unkind words.

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Love you guys ❤

[@chanellejvv]

literally been struggling with every. single. one. of these recently. Like, how'd ya'll know!? 😭 #holyspirit Thank ya'll for this amazing encouragement 🤍 Definitely diggin the chache (chad+stache)

[@Sarah-sr8zw]

I loved and resonated with all of these! Thanks so much!!

[@marick2641]

Guys your baby is absolutely beautiful!!

[@Luis_alvarez15]

Love the mustache!!! Definitely keep it

[@yarrym3614]

The first video I think I watched with you guys was your wedding video. And I loved how Chad especially got so emotional when Tori was walking down the isle. That was beautiful. Your whole meeting story and the way you stayed together, actually the whole journey has been beautiful. You compliment each other very well. Chad is really funny, and Tori is really positive.

[@ginavea5465]

I love you guys, your such a great inspiration ❤️❤️ Oh, I love the mustache😊

[@faithpeggar]

Usuallly I’m anti mustache but I feel like the dad stash is so Chad and you’ve gotta keep it

[@maggiepadilla-cp9qn]

Great video! ❤ thank you !!

[@kamahorodaphnepatra]

Thanks Chad.

[@jessicaperlove4715]

I'm not a mustache fan myself, but Tori looked adorable on the couch with Micah. 😊

[@mariamangion21]

Love your content ❤

[@AkolNoeline-rs6yu]

Absolutely love you guys you are so inspiring

[@yarrym3614]

Chad- it's funny you mentioned the "it is what it is quote" because in Australia here I have heard it so many times also. And I work pretty hard as well. But I picked what I do knowing my limitations and actually loving what I do. But not trying to stress myself too much because I know my trigger points- like if I get to stressed, it will drain me mentally and emotionally.

[@yarrym3614]

I can relate to your last piece of advice Chad also. I originally come from Russia and there is this song that I love and the lyrics of it are basically we live beyond our children and grandchildren. So think bigger. You have to think about the bigger picture, about eternity. Because if we think about it, this life is quite short. But our legacy will remain here through our children and grandchildren and that is why for me personally - it has been so hard relationship wise. As, my vision for my life has always beene "one life, one family". But it hasn't happened for me.

[@aubreyidleman]

Looks good chad!

[@sophiaann9489]

Hey tori and chad:)!! Have a question that I think you would be perfect to answer!!! I’ve been in a season where I feel like I’m not quite in a place to date. I’m in an active young adults group at my church and I keep having males… show interest? Maybe they are extra chatty with me, or ask to grab a coffee. I love getting to know guys in our church in a healthy setting but I’m not sure where the line is between being a friend and leading them on? I also don’t want to just assume they are pursuing me and tell them that I’m not interested I don’t want to look like I assume guys are just interested because we grab coffee.What’s a healthy way to go about this? What do friendship boundaries with males inside the church look like!! Love you’re little family so much thanks so much for all your help in my spiritual journey:)❤️

[@anastasija9486]

yes to the stash!

[@aliviahughes5064]

Thank you Chad & Tori for taking time to encourage and uplift! As for the mustache..my first response was “wait..no!” But by the end…I have to say I kind of hope it stays. I’ve never been a mustache fan but you pull it off Chad😂

[@ROMAN1g2r]

I started a new job as a waiter and they had me frost to shave my beard wich i absolutely love and i kept the mustache coz it's the only thing i can keep and it's crushing me i don't love it i hate and seeing you just made me laugh so much and relatable so thx that was my encouragement 😂😂😂

[@ssmith956]

I really needed this today ❤ Thank you. Kelly from the Scott and Kelly show! 😄 I love K Love. I started listening to it in 2020 and it’s 95% of the music I listen to these days. It’s changed my life. Also, Chad I think if you and Tori both like the caterpillar, keep it! My husband grew a caterpillar after our first son was born and I couldn’t stand that thing! He shaved it 🤭

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

The dad stash is amazing 🥲.

[@melodylistoe9143]

Yes keep growing the mustache! My husband started growing a mustache right before we started dating, and it has blossomed into a true manly mustache, symbolising how our relationship blossomed into a marriage and now family 3 years later. He can't shave it off now 😂

[@victoriagirls1]

I like the stach!!

[@mirandasamaneka]

Keeeeeep itttttt!!!!!

[@AmishaChhabraMusic]

LITTLE MICAH HAS MY HEART MELTINGGGG🥹🥹🥹

[@modestdiaries]

What a great topic ! I was just reading Ephesians 4:29 KJV yesterday, and it’s amazing what God reveals to His people! This verse spoke to me in how to be slow to speak, use words to uplift others, and have an intention in every word. GBY 🤍🌿

[@MyVlogTherapy]

THINK: before you speak. T- Is what your going to say actually TRUE? H- Is it HONORABLE? Are you honoring that person with your words. I- is it INSPIRING? Is it inspiring them into action? N- is it NECESSARY? K- is it KIND? Related to your tone. Stop believing the lies about yourself. And resist negative self talk. Don’t stifle your dreams. Stop settling for less. Blaze your own trail. Friendships take intentionality. And there’s a cost. Give and invest time, travel.. You will get it back. Stop giving in.. to impulse buys, unhealthy choices. Start saying no.. it leaves room for a bigger YES later. Live for beyond yourself.

[@kingdomtruth7773]

Hello, I don’t know you guys, but I’m so absolutely happy for you both with your new baby, as I am whenever I see other couple trying to have a baby. He’s a handsome little guy. Concerning myself for a few months I’ve been getting faint positives and also, a First a response Yes, but currently the lines are still there, but faint. So, I’m not sure what’s going on. But I have a Doctors appt. on Wed. but I put everything in God’s hands. Blessings - Reklamation Ministries 😊 - See various Bible and Health information and much more.

[@toneloc698]

Wow, last time I saw this channel you guys were still PG. Awesome to see you guys are consistent and are continuing to grow wiser and now you're parents, so cool. I have american indian blood in me so I can't grow much facial hair. I would pay to be able to grow a stash like Chad the dad much more to be able to grow a beard which won't happen in this lifetime. I'm in my mid 40's and still not too much going on in that area. Do it! (In an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice)

[@halcowen5886]

On your mouth …. Get set …. GO

[@juliamulligan6281]

Micah is tooo cute,those eyes

[@dominikazielinska10]

I kind of like that look with a mustache 👨🏻👍

[@MegaTelenovela]

You are such a handsome couple with beautiful aesthetic with your fashion sense and home design.

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

Micah is cute 🥰 he’s growing up so fast 💨 god Jesus and the Holy Spirit gave him blessings on blessings my family says that all the time. And it’s true.

[@laurenbam4227]

Where is the link to the Madu’s message? I tried to find it in the description links and it is not there. Thanks for sharing. Sooooooo needed this! Appreciate you guys so much. God bless.

[@MsAliciaVictoria]

Tori, can you please share where your baby carrier is from? Thank you! Blessings!

[@sarahjost9826]

Mustaches sneak up on ya. I thought they weren’t cute till my husband grew one…changed my mind real fast.

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

You’re an awesome 😎 KZbin channel.

[@StephanieSharesJesus]

Hopefully, my impulse decision to try ritual won't be a regret lol

[@aubreyidleman]

Hey Masters!… I recently Broke up with the man I thought I was gonna marry. I don’t have an Instagram account, so I can’t ever ask any questions when you are asking for a video. Do you think there’s where you can have us ask our questions on KZbin? I need some help with knowing my identity and not letting the break up change who I am or who I want to be!

[@waterb0ttle443]

does anyone know what sermon tori was referring to (for the 1st piece of advice)

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

I know micah does have his own tiny hands 🙌 I missed those tiny hands so much Chad and tori.

[@devynjones3878]

Micha Masters should meet Atticus Earls.

[@annekestander3677]

Chad... if Victoria likes the stash, keep it. P.S. Micha is so cute, you know

[@monicacalifornia9693]

Can you do more of the non negative talk that is not actually encouraging lol Basically what does healthy conversation sound like samples or role-play

[@empea4403]

You moustache that stache away 😆. Just joking. It looks great! Just keep it light, not too thick🥸. Love you guys ♥️.

[@blazerprophet]

That 'stash should come with a mullet.🤣
