my life spiritually is weird rn. it’s super strange because i want to be with God and praise God ive been in the word more and i’m more on fire but at the same time i’ve still been disobedient. but i don’t feel shame, and i’m not sure if i should (to be convicted) i just hope i’m not numbing my sin to a point where i can’t hear God. i’m in a season of accepting grace and believe i’m growing in love and discipline. these video is really encouraging. i love the way you speak, it’s calming and human lol. you’re very real and i appreciate that so much, it’s a breath of fresh air

This is definitely God led. Just subscribed to your channel and was watching a few of your videos when this popped up. Perfect timing. I’ve been struggling to get closer to God the last few weeks. I went from being as close to God as I’ve ever been, fasting every few days, I devoted all my time to doing things to bring glory to God, reading my bible and praying all day throughout the day, if I opened tiktok, I watched biblical videos, if I opened youtube I watched biblical videos. I feared so badly falling out the place with God because it’s happened so many times before. I was doing very good and some how without realizing it I just fell short and started drifting from that, I don’t know how it happened. I’ve been longing to get back to that spot. It just seems so hard. Even though I know how easy it really is. The way you described being in a rut is exactly how I feel. I think it needs to be talked about more in the christian community how we all fall short. I think a lot of us feel alone in falling short because we see all these other christians who seem like they have it all together, for instance, you. I would have never thought that you were going through ruts constantly if you didn’t make this video. I’ve just really felt alone in it, I feel every time I get really close to God I end up falling short and it’s just a continuous thing, I get close and fall short and then I get really close to God again and feel on top of the world and then I fall short again. I think feeling alone in it brings a lot of baggage as well and makes it even harder to get close to God. I think this video was very important to be made and I definitely appreciate it. It’s helped me a lot. Bless you brother. Keep doing what you’re doing! God is leading you to do amazing things. If this didn’t help anyone else it definitely helped me.

"Knowing what I could be." I have not been able to put into words exactly how I feel when I come to repentance, but this describes it perfectly. It is such an empowering but destructive feeling. On one hand, I get excited to grow and blossom into who God calls me to be, but on the other, I get so turned off by how far behind I feel. It is so true that we must go to His word. It's almost like watching a movie and knowing the answer is right in front of the characters but they are so oblivious. My bible is right in front of me but I constantly ignore the truth waiting on those pages. I definitely need to read scripture more and I'm glad I watched this video as a reminder. Thanks Alex and amen.

Amen, Alex! Agh this video was timely uploaded. Thank you for obedience. Thank you for being vulnerable. I too am in a rut :( . I'm currently in a cycle of being fired up for Christ, creating content, praying, studying the Word and then I fizzle out and feel unmotivated to do anything God-related due to sin (not making time for Him, not putting Him first, giving in to temptation etcetc). The obvious answer is to repent and do better but it feels so hard to do. Nonetheless "Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything." (1 John 3:20) Knowing that God is omniscient, & knows how many times we're gonna mess up yet He still loves us and gives us chances to do better each day He grants us on Earth, is comforting AND gives me some hope.

I remember watching this video actually being in a rut. I was struggling with a panic disorder and a crippling anxiety out of my control and it felt like I was going crazy and I had lost all hope in life and in myself. I remember driving down the empty roads side by side two big fields in the country and the sun was setting, so golden hour. The piano on this video made me cry but that warm sensation felt so familiar and it was nobody else but the holy spirit. He gave me so much comfort on that drive home in the middle of that rut at its peak. I started watching your videos a lot after that day and months later I was set free of the panic disorder and all anxiety symptoms because of Jesus! Long story short it was all about habitual sin and true repentance, once I let go of old lifestyles and sin was when the lord could truly work in my life from the inside out and he did and it hurt but he put all my pieces back together and here I am. Stronger than ever and stronger in him because of him.

For the past few months, I’ve been reading my Bible, praying, and talking to God (maybe not as much as I should, though) and in doing so, my anxiousness has gotten a lot better. However, there’s always this one thing that I can’t seem to let go of, and it’s the very thing at the root of my anxiousness. I don’t like change, especially sudden change, and I find it hard to accept the fact that anything can happen at any time. It’s really a comfort issue like what you mentioned in your video, and it’s nice to know that if I continue to read the Bible and talk to God about everything, I can fully expel fear from my life. This video was super relatable and it came at exactly the right time. Thanks for getting outside of your comfort zone to make this!

Realizing comfort is an idol for me! Realizing I need to repent of constantly seeking comfort, in TV, my husband, my mom, friends, sleep/relaxing. I have to be willing to change! I have to release it and be who God wants me to be and be uncomfortable and not give into FEAR. I don’t TRY at things, I don’t attempt things I don’t go places I don’t do things really bc of fear of judgment fear of failure fear of discomfort fear of pain too. But it begs the question: do I REALLY trust God, or am I just afraid and allowing fear to be my god ?… if I TRUST Him with me and that He is in control and sees and loves and keeps me, then HE WILL HE my comfort. And I will branch out to be the light He created me to be. This video showed me ALL of that. Thank you Alex and family.

Thank you, Alex! I’m in a rut, giving a half effort in getting to know Jesus. I’ve been hyper focused on end times prophecies and it’s distracting me from the actual MISSION. Opening up my Bible today on my lunch - either starting in John or Psalms. Thanks again, Alex!

Amen! I feel like in some aspects I am in a rut, I think mostly because I’m not that very good at explaining my emotions & what they mean. It’s like I want to get into the word of God and talk to him consistently, but I always feel like a tug trying to pull me back and distract me with worldly things. Like, I can feel my potential and know how far I can go and be for God, it’s just this feeling that I can’t shake of doubt-fullness maybe? I think it’s the enemy trying to confuse me & rule me over back to my worldly ways. It was even to the point where I felt so ashamed that I stopped talking to God for weeks & started to make excuses. But, it just showed how much I needed him and how weak my spirit was of my faith. But things are getting better now I’m building (or trying to at least) my connection with God again & opening up to him 100% . Thank you Alex for this video & God bless your soul bro, this gave me some fresh air & a little more clearness. All praise & glory goes to GOD . Amen 🙏🏾💘 .

This really hit me, especially when you said that comfort is an idol. I never thought of it that way, but now I see that comfort is my idol. God's been calling me to be uncomfortable and its SOOO hard to do that. Please pray for me that I have the strength and courage to be uncomfortable for Him.

Amen! Like I always say, I watch your video when it's the "right" time for me. Your contents have really been a blessing to me. They help keep me accountable and grounded, it's like a alarm that wakes me up and tells me to go back to the Lord. Thank you so much for making them even when you don't feel comfortable.

Over thinking , I'm guilty...thinking of future is overwhelming, Jesus is with us in the present and we receive his Grace in the Present ,I am Propelled Knowing I'm accepted by God just as I am only because of what Jesus did not any thing I do or don't do, and He always gets us back on track....Your a Blessing and have Beautiful Spirit 🙏 Amen

I am going through hard period now. It feels like depression. Even though I am believer and I totally have moments filled by Holy Spirit and being close to Jesus. Those are rare moments of incredible joy and peace. But most of the time I struggle from mood swings, anxiety, depression. I fell sometimes to sin of lust or smoking cigarettes… then I repent. I am praying God free me from all of this as currently I feel like stuck😢

Thank you so much Alex for this video, everything you said is like bullseye.. lately i been sleeping a lot, and going to work.. sleeping a lot going to work.. after work staying late at night.. going to work not rested, or getting up very late at mid day.. and being not productive.. not exercising and so on.. i prayed that God would help me to get out from this rut.. searched a video how to get out from rut.. and here God shows me through you as well.. like the things that scares me as well.. like getting out from comfort zone.. not knowing what will be in future.. what God wants from me.. but i think making a step out of comfort zone will give me comfort in being uncomfortable, open many other opportunity's for bigger God Glory. May God bless you all in Lord Jesus Christ name!

I am also in a rut. Like you said, wanting to remain in comfort, and not feel discomfort is a powerful feeling that keeps me from getting out of my rut. More importantly, I feel that It stops me from even WANTING to get out of the rut. From being in the rut for quite a while, I can't see a future where, if I end up getting out, I cannot live happily. Like you said, its the comfort it gives that makes you want to stay in it. Even though I take efforts to get out of the rut, at my deep core I want to remain in the rut.

Amen this is so relatable i’ve been staying up late and sleeping till 12:00 and it’s not what I want but it just keeps happening. I wasn’t in the word as often as I should be and all my friends i’ve been trying to help are giving up. ❤

The practical steps are so spirit led in this. Its wonderful to resonate with the way you speak about things as well as the testimonies in the comments. Thing is we want some hyper specific solution, when all we're trying to do and all God is trying to get us to do is spend more intentional time with Him. Our focus should be on doing exactly that, and something I've recently come to realize is that being transformed as little as 1% at a time is enough, because it means that we ARE transformed. We proclaim full restoration in Christ, but when it comes to being disciplined and renewed in our minds, even 1% more than last is enough. He brings us closer and multiplies and sustains our faith, we can only position ourselves under Him, it is for God to reveal Himself. Those who seek will find

I watched my first video from thus channel some days ago, and how you spoke just seems to get to me so i kept on watching some more until this video came along. Earlier today i was watching a tutorial of a concept i wanted to learn on KZitem and i just felt so behind, the tutor was using some advanced technique that i have never used before, and it just made me feel weak, very very weak, i was disturbed and i had a feeling to pray but instead i opted for taking a walk and surprisingly there was no change i still don't understand the technique used, so i heard in my conscience to just watch the video, and that i didn't need to get it now, but i should just watch the video so that i can be informed that something like that exist, which i will do now, BUT watching this video just showed me where i made an error, that i should have just talked to God in prayers. THANK YOU. AMEN.

Amen! God is better than everything, we will keep fighting! 🥰 ...Just that fast, 2 weeks after I wrote this, I'm now in a rut. How fast and how often things change in life. I feel like laying in bed all day. Tired of working and doing mom and wife duties everyday. Feel so unmotivated and drained. My wheels are spinning in mud. Please pray for me! I love you all. 🥰
