Hello everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself. I am a born again bible believing Christian, I came on to this site after watching jesses you tube videos which I am hooked on by the way. It amazed me how someone could go out and preach the word of god and amazed me how lost and hateful people can be. Anyway a little bit about me. I grew up with very little religion in my life, my grandmother was a catholic and she taught me how to pray and took me to church a few time but other then that nothing. By the time I started to go to high school with no moral ground and weakness in my part I slide into 5 year pit of dispare with drug and alcohol use and crime. It was not until I was 19 that I woke up after seeing how evil the world could be and went looking for something else. I started praying to god to help my overcome my vices, to give me the stealth I needed and to my amazement he was their for me. Then one day a young man about my age got to talking to me about god, he asked me if I was ready to put my faith in Jesus, I said yes and he gave my first bible, the king James version. So that’s a bit of my story, I look forward to reading and learning on the site.

Welcome to the boards! Glad to have you here! And I praise God that you are "hooked" on the preaching videos. That's great!

Thank you , it means a lot to me. And yes I am very hooked on preaching videos, I can't get enough of them. It's like that movie 300, a few brave men with only their faith in god against a army of sin and smut. It's entertaining for me and I also get to learn about the bible, morals and Christian views. Who could ask for more ;D

Well, that is not exactly how I would describe them, but to each his own.

I use them to critique myself, and to learn, and sometimes it's valuable to watch for what NOT to do... If you find some of the Open Air Outreach videos on Google of the other team that travelled for a while, they are alot longer and have really good content to learn and evaluate. Apologetcis, debating, confronting... etc. It's good stuff/.
