I have prayed for almost 27 yrs since my son’s birth that he would find a good, kind, smart Christian young woman to marry someday. You’re both precious and rare in this world today. How blessed Austin and Katie’s future husband are to have the two of you! Your price is high above rubies ❤ thank you for sharing your journey with us, and God bless you all with a fantastic 2024!

Honey, as an old lady, trust me we understand about how hard life can be for us. Christians don’t have a carefree, worry free life. I’m so thankful to have discovered your videos and getting to watch you both grow spiritually n mentally. Your family is precious to me because first, you guys are mountain people, 2. Your strong faith in God and not ashamed to share it. 3. You two are so beautiful inside and out. Your body is changing and that baby bump is so stinking adorable. I was telling my daughter how excited I was that you both are having boys and how wonderful it was going to be for to grew up together on the mountain. 😊❤

Sweet Corie, don’t you ever hesitate to show your tears! It’s one of the things that makes you and Katie so precious. I’ve lived many more years (almost 84) than you and I can say a hearty “amen” to your testimony! There have never been any waters too deep or fiery trials too hard but that our Lord has not carried me through. I have learned that it is suffering that molds a Believer and equips us to comfort and encourage others. That is JUST what you do, Dear Girl! 🙏🙏💖💖

The second you said faith and fear can not not exist together hit me hard. I’ve never heard that and it couldn’t be more true. I’m so thankful I listened today. Your family is so precious

My favorite quote from this video is when you said, “I don’t have to be enough. Jesus is enough!” God bless you for sharing the lessons you’ve learned. This was so sweet.

Your faith has truly grown, Corie. The Holy Spirit is working in you, guiding you and enlightening you. You are absolutely correct in saying, you are enough, because Jesus IS enough! Great inspirational video. Prayers and may God continue blessing you and all your family. 🙏🏻

Your faith is monumental and has made you so strong. God bless you Corie

God's way of preparing you for motherhood. As a mom you will be fearless and will at times have to rely on your faith in God!

The Pressley family has certainly had a very trying year. Y'all are great christian role models in how y'all have handled it. I thank you for it. God Bless all of you.

Your spirit is kind open and sweet. Thankful for your videos especially about your mature Christian reasoning & experiences. So uplifting to me. God bless you Corie & All your family. You're all in my prayers. Please keep me in yours. Lord be with us & watch over us in 2024. 🙏✝️💜🕊️I

I remember when Katie announced her pregnancy I felt a tug to remind her that her journey in navigating the hard and imperfect parts of life with grace and a dependence on God *is* the way we’re meant to do this. You’re deserving of that same reminder. God’s promise of an easy yoke and a light burden doesn’t guarantee we’ll be without years like 2023; it just means we have the gracious cushion of knowing God will deliver us from all of it. We’re too imperfect and flawed for “easy”, but His promise is of deliverance through that hardship. You hit the nail on the head when you said that faith feels so much different with experience and that actually going through something makes that faith so much stronger and personal. That’s a gift in and of itself. Both you and Katie have done a tremendous thing in living out your faith - be it perfect or wavering, easy or difficult, steeped in simple trust or the experiences of life’s hills and valleys (or, most likely, all of the above) - publicly for us to share in and gain strength from. Thank you from the friends you’ve made near and far, from many different walks of life, who share in the ups and downs that continually shape the faith we share. ❤️

That is the condition I am in right now. And that is how I feel each day. So trust in the lord because he is a person I confide in.

While you were talking about having peace when you would expect not to a scripture came to mind. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. " 2 Corinthians 12:9 He does give us peace and the strength to keep going through difficulties. When you called out to him for help physically and when your heart cried out for the loss of loved ones. Sometimes we don't even have the words to ask the Lord for what we need or want it comes out more in groanings and sometimes tears. He hears you. Bless you dear one, my sister in Christ.

One thing that my mama always said that has stuck with me is "all you can do is all you can do and all you can do is enough ".

Watching you girls and your family is fun. Thanks for sharing it all with us. ❤

God doesn’t promise us an easy life BUT he does promise that he will never leave or forsake you. Learning each day about life and our relationship with God is what each of us should strive for each day. You and your family are great examples of leaning and learning more about God each day.

Corie, I totally understand. I myself have had a difficult 2023. I lost my precious mom, cancer scare of best friend and my special dog of 15 years passed. Still processing and keeping God close. God be with you and your special family❤

Even though I don't know you and your family personally I feel close. I love that you are not shy with your christian belief.

Hi Corie, God is good ❤ I followed McKenna story and it’s truly a miracle. I to lost and cousin and two friends from my church family last year. Death is bearable because of Jesus and the promise that we will see our loved ones again. Praying that 2024 will bring good to all.

Thank you so much for your wisdom and strength.

Bless you i watch all your vlogs it was a heavy year for you but look on the bright side you have child your so showing sorry for your loss an young deaths i will pray for you god bless

Thank you for sharing your highs & lows. Losing your Grandmother is such a huge life event. It is probably something you will be telling your Grandkids about someday. You have so much to look forward to in 2024. I would recommend a daily journal. It will mean so much to the child you are carrying. I wish I had done that. You can never re-create in words about how you are feeling right now. Happy New Year!

You all have been through sooo much in 2023, may God richly bless you all in 2024. I have a screenshot of Granny, and your mom and uncles as a reminder to lift you all up in prayer 🙏 Lovin that precious baby bump 💙

What a beautiful testimony. I lost my mama the night before Thanksgiving of '22. It wasn't expected but she had been the sole caretaker, with our help, of my stepfather who had dementia for almost ten years. She was the type that she was very particular on who would help with his care. She was 73 years old. Now my father had cancer from agent Orange exposure from serving three tours in Vietnam. She also took care of him for five years before she remarried. I was the only child along with my husband, three children and one great grandson. We were her world. Her little body was just wore out. She was the best mother anyone could ask for. I know that the night she laid there and took her last breath, the Lord needed her more. Like you, it was the most peaceful feeling I had ever had. She was with me when I took my first breath and I was with her when she took her last. Some days are better than others but I know they are all waiting for me on the other side. We all don't have long. Live everyday like it's your last. I appreciate so much yours and Katie's videos. The singing and stories really touch my heart. You're all so lucky to have each other.

I'm from the midwest but I spent 13 years in my 20s in Eastern KY and West Virginia and I've always thought of it as home in my heart. The love and community, the Christian values, knowing family and friends are wealth, the stubborn self sufficiency and survival.... I was happy to earn my place, being half Yankee, and I became family. God led me back to the midwest and this is where he wants me for now. I'm content with that, but my heart is still in the mountains. You girls are so blessed to be who you are and where you are. I know it was God that led me to your channel and it's just so special to share a glimpse of normalcy, kindness, honesty, and so much hope in you girls and your family. Bless you both! I can't wait to share this year with y'all!!❤

Corie I believe 2oo24 is gone be the best year for you because God on Sen it was 1year before I enter my lovely parents bedroom I could not expect my lovely mama passed away God said you can and I did I now sleep in same room she died God help me with that I put my trust and God and God always there for us 🙏 God bless everyone 😀

God bless you and all you love and care about in Jesus name

I lost my wife 10 years ago she suffered it was hard on me and I still struggling with it my house a disaster I feel depressed I wish I could deal better with it so please pray for me and I will pray for you thanks so much for you show as always ❤

I completely understand relying on Jehovah. I don't have much but I have my needs. Getting older, new aches n pains nothing serious. I really have no reason to complain when there are so many others around me struggling more. I do better at staying positive and turning it over to God. His peace and comfort carry me through each day and all the obstacles Satan throws at us. Luv you all and enjoy the love you all have for one another 😊

My Momma called me 2 months after my late husband died suddenly and told me she had Ovarian cancer. I left my job and drove 8 hours to her house and took care of her for 23 days until she died. She had a tough life and my sister and I were blessed and told Momma that we would see her again and to go on to Glory. I was so glad that she didn’t suffer and it was a quick illness. When we know we will see them again, it is a real blessing. I would love to talk to her so many times but I treasure all the things she taught me. You have so many treasured memories to give you comfort. Praying for you all as 2024 brings new family members to your family.

Love, love !!! The one thing I learned this year...if you pray long enough and hard enough God will answer in His on time and way !!!!!

"I'm not enough, but Jesus is enough." Thank you for this message. I needed desperately to hear this. God love you. I certainly do.

I understand, when my dad died 25 years ago. The night before (he was in the veterans hospital and he had emphysema) he wwas having oxygen and they put a tube in his chest to inflate his lungs because they had got a whole in both lungs. After we visited for awhile we left to head back home 50 miles away from the hospital. I started praying and asking/telling God to take my father father home too be with him because I couldn't stand for mt dad to suffer. The next morning I received a call from my nephew saying that my dad had passed away. I felt so bad because I felt like it was my fault. I still miss my dad and I would cry cry when I thought about him but I know that He is with Jesus and I know that he isn't suffering.

Our 2023 has been very eventful. There have been great blessings and deep trials and challenges. I have seen God and his faithfulness in both. May you and your family be richly blessed in 2024.

Look at your baby bump! Congrats!!

Hey Corie, Your such a beautiful person you really helpful to me all your words. GOD BLESS YOU Sweetheart your friend. jo

Thanks for sharing. I‘m not religious, but I accept everyone, no matter what. Sometimes I wish I had something in my life like faith. I just can’t have faith in an entity that lets children suffer, be it through illness or abuse. It doesn’t make sense to me.

Corie, you look so beautiful with that baby bump. I loved what you said about faith and fear. You're right, faith pushes the fear out of your heart and fear will push away your faith. It made me think of John 14:27. Jesus told his disciples, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I pray for your entire family by name each day Corie and whatever is going on in your lives that you share with your subscribers, I pray specifically for that need. I know I'm not alone in doing that, I'm sure a lot of other subscribers do as well. God bless you and keep you as well Corie.

I would like to do more talks about life,God/Jesus and how he blesses us and strengthens us through our journey. Whether we go through ❤ ache he comforts us ..through lifes storms he helps us get through.Some of my hardest lessons were where God was working the most and revealing things to me.We all have alot to recieve from him, and to.share with each other the blessings and insight and wisdom..I look forward to hearing from you all and God Bless!

As you were giving the faith and fear thought, I drew a see-saw that had the word "Faith" on the side in the air and "Fear"on the side on the ground. I think that's a battle for each of us, to keep faith up and fear down.

I appreciate your testimony and growth in the Lord Jesus Christ

Thanks for being a positive light! Good luck on selling your home and buying the next one. Congrats on the baby!!

Hi Cori , my biggest problem is I worry to much . I worry before things even happen. I pray to God when I drive to work. I pray to God on my way home, and I pray to God when I go to sleep. I’ll actually share a tear when I see a commercial for the SPCA. I’ll get upset when I see a movie and I try to hide tears. My wife always looks at me and say’s “ what are you crying for now “ . I always say I’m not crying. but reality I am and I catch myself doing it. I just don’t know why. I read where they said it could be signs of depression. but it’s really not. It’s just that I’m very very sensitive. years ago my wife had two miscarriages one in three months and one at two months. she was very depressed and thought I’d be really upset , but then I told her it must’ve been a reason for it. I told her maybe neither one of us was to blame. It was just the way God wanted it to be. maybe he was protecting us and maybe having a unhealthy baby. I always look at that there’s a reason. As I get older, I’m more worried about the future. It seems there’s more bills to pay. There’s other things that we have to worry about that we didn’t do in our 20s and 30s. I have a cross hanging from my mirror in the car , and every day, I kiss it wish God would watch over my wife and I throughout the day. I’m going to tell you something and I mean this and I should be telling this to the psychiatrist but, at times I’m afraid to live and then there are times im afraid to die. I hope I didn’t bother you with all this. I listen to you very closely, and I’m gonna try to do what you said about the new year. Good luck with your baby and God bless you and your husband.

Gratitude is the best attitude. You cannot be anxious and grateful at the same time. If I start worrying or feeling anxious, I pray 'God's plan not that of man.' Thank you for sharing your recap of the year.

The faith and fear scale is what I really needed to hear about. My health hasgotten worse and I have been so scared and angry. This morning I found out that another cousin has died. For the second time I found out on Facebook. I don't go on there often, mý family knows that. No one bothered to call me about it. That scares me thinking that my brothers and my sister have come to this. We just lost our aunt and uncle a few months apart. 2023 was not a great year for me either. I needed to hear what you had to say sweet Corie. Thank you so much for being such a Godly young woman. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless each of you.

Yes, yes amen. So true sweetheart one of my sisters passed from an aneurysm brain aneurysm at 44 years old just hard so hard my heart breaks for all y’all.

A grateful, contented heart is healing to your body and soul. Probably good for your baby too.

Bless you Corie! God knows the intentions of your tender heart. I have claimed Psalms 46:10 as my mantra...Be still and know that I am God! Love and hugs to you and family!

Since meeting your family a few years ago, I continue to be impressed with the sincerity of your faith in Jesus. Thank you for encouraging the rest of us in our walk with the Lord as well.

I’m fighting back tears of Spiritual Growth! The Holy Spirit spoke those words🙏🏻 YALL have Blessed me so much over the years! Thank You Matt for being full time on the channel!!!! I wonder if God us leading YALL to do speaking events around the country! A full show with your music! Doing just fine as is but would be nice like the book tour. God ordained Yall!!!!!

Amen on thanking God for dishes to do, house to clean-you are not alone in learning to change complaints to praises. Honestly Corie-if you could see yourself through other’s eyes, I don’t think you would have any insecurities of doing, saying things right. I know everyone has faults, but you are such a role model for young ladies! God bless you and thank you for sharing your journey with Jesus Christ!

Thanks for being so Christ-like! Skip Salmon Turkey Bottom Roanoke, VA

You are a light in this world. God bless

You are so right, faith & fear cannot exist together, be blessed. Young Lady

God gives us the peace and the strength that we need to survive in this world, he fills in the places in us that are incomplete and lacking, we are weak but He is strong. I have so enjoyed your devotional videos this year, thank you for taking the time to do them, God bless you and your family, I pray for you all daily, and wish only the best for you all in 2024, it will surely be a memorable and wonderful year in your lives ❤

I like your videos. Thanks for living a Christian life in full.

Hi babe…. I am a 69 year old woman and I just have to say Thank You to both you girls …. You witness to me everyday… I thank God for finding you both along with your parents a year ago … faithfully praying for this family ✝️

Sweetie you are teaching this 72 (in a few days) grandmother. ❤️thank you.

When you start to worry it’s time to pray.

It’s amazing how God takes the lemons in our life and makes the most delicious lemonade. Even though there were rough, sad times for you all. You know where Miss Cindy, and your other family members are. Then God sends you and Katie the best gift of all in your babies. God may take people we love from us when it their time, but He will always compensate. Bless you, and all your family Codie! May God always smile in your little boy and on Katie’s baby boy. I pray He keeps your family in His hands and showers blessings on you all.

Amen, praise the Lord! Love ya so Much that you help US❤

Corie, your video reminded me of this song. I cry a little every time I hear it because I'm so in awe of our Lord. I was not a good Christian when I was young but He has forgiven all that and I serve Him joyously and without constraint nowadays. Oh Lord, I can't even walk without you holding my hand The mountains too high and the valleys too wide Down on my knees that's where I learned to stand Oh Lord, I can't even walk without you holding my hand God bless you.

You are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for your generous heart and sharing. God is good. I am grateful for all I have in my life. Bless the little life in you, Corie.

“I get to do the dishes” I love that thank you!!

I had a similar year in 2022 (minus the pregnancys of course... cant get pregnant by yourself lol). I lost a grandfather on my moms side of the family, and then an uncle on my dads side of tge family in the same month (january) then in november, my aunt, his wife, died. They were about the same age as my grandparents on my moms side of the family, since everyone is about a generation ahead of me over on my dads side lol so they were like grandparents too. 2023 was weird without them because those are the households we always used to celebrate holidays and birthdays at, and we really didn't anymore. Onr positive in yalls situation is that youll get to experience the great joy of children this year! Im a little jealous lol. Ive got yall in my prayers, and have a great year!

Anyone else see the oracle or little thing right at the end of the video..to her left elbow it was beautiful 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️ 17:47 right when she says I'm very grateful...like a little fairy angel...floats down... You have a wonderful channel and a heart for God! ❤️

You have been through a lot! You have a strong faith. I didn't know you were selling your home. Hope 2024 will be better!

I was with my Mom when she passed I had that same peace.

Gosh, it's just been non-stop for you and your family this past year, hasn't it? Hope you all are staying well!

You are amazing young lady,you and your family bring me such comfort and that there is still good in this world

Thank you for your testimony about Miss Cindy. My own Mom is battling pancreatic cancer and is making the decision for hospice now. I am going to lean more on the Lord Jesus Christ, I know he will carry me through. God Bless your whole family and the babies!!

We all struggle with fear, I know that feeling.. I am so thankful that God knows and hears our petitions!

You bring sanity to this insane world

Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕

You all have certainly had a rough year but blessings and miracles. We have prayed for you all and continue to pray for Granny and for you and Katie to have a healthy pregnancy smooth birth and healthy babies. We pray that you have a happy ,healthy and prosperous 2024. May God bless you all. Yall have a blessed night.

Look at that precious little baby bump. May God continue to bless you and your family. 💕

Loved the faith an fear so needed to hear that Corrie thankyou you are in my prayers

The entire year of 2024 was such a gift from you and Katie to your audience family. Miraculously spiritual year that helped us all See more Jesus!!! So thankful you two were willing to be raw!! Because so many of us are going through such raw stuff, too! You Blessed us all by Christ coming through you girls!!

Yes, I'd like to hear more about that, I think many of us struggle with feelings of perfectionism and feel down on ourselves because of it. It's probably one of the adversary's favorite tools, along with depression, negativity and many othrs.

This video is precious in many ways. Thank you for sharing from your heart. Walking through the fire is never easy, but The One who walks with us brings us through it and our hair is not singed and we don’t smell of smoke. He faithfully brings us through every time, and when we get to the other side, we are stronger! I am looking forward to watching all of His goodness come upon you and overtake you and all your family this year.

To see your deep faith and growing wisdom and gratitude to God has warmed my heart. God bless you abundantly in 2024.😊

Such a beautiful video Corie! Thank you for the reminders of lessons I need to continue working on in my life as well. I continue to pray for y’all and send love.

I think God has led me to your and your mom's channels, and I am so appreciative of your messages. You and your sister are rare souls in this world and especially in our generation (I'm 30), and I just want to say please keep it up and keep sharing Jesus! Happy 2024 and thank you for sharing.

Corie, you and your sister are such a blessing to me. This was a beautiful video, and as always when I sit with you girls I feel uplifted calmed and encouraged. You have the "peace that passes understanding" as we used to sing...through hard times and good times. God bless you and Katie and all of your family members, including the two newest additions! I look forward to hearing all about your 2024 and pray for you all. I have to say that you are wise beyond your years and MORE than enough!

It has been a rough year, but by the grace of God we can handle it. There is a reason for everything. somethings we just won't understand till showed us. I know I am grateful for your family and how they have helped me thru these times with my foot. The days where I could not get out, yall would take a walk in the woods. The time when I did not know what to cook, here comes a delicious meal being fixed and I would fix something close to it. It was all the little things. You are right, Miss Cindy is missed something terrible, but knowing where she is is so comforting and peaceful. I am enjoying watching you and Austin grow in your relationship and now becoming parents. You are such a positive person too. And look at that little pooch (baby bump)! You and Katie have such a glow about you all. It is God! Well enough of my ramble. Just know we appreciate you all!

I had mentioned my friend who is in stage e 4 cancer and y'all said prayers,for Keith ,asking again,I don't know what to do...love y'all

Yep, you have to walk it before you can talk it. God bless you all in 2024.

You put a Tear in My Eyes 😮

To be so young, you are more wise than me ☺️, thanks and God bless you and yours 🙏😇🙏❤️

God is always faithful

Thank you Corie, how about we just pray for everybody darlin...hope you and Katie are feeling good, take those prenatal vitamins, eat good and get plenty of sleep. God works in mysterious ways and he has a plan for all of us. 😊

My mother just passed away of Lou Gheric Syndrome also know as ALS. On November 2nd 2023. She was very special to me and was the one who originally adopted me as an infant. She was a person who worked as a Social Worker for Durham NC for 32 years for helping the disabled and Elderly people. She attended college at Merideth and was a English ,student teacher. She was a choir member at temple Baptist church and was a missionary. I really miss my mom. I hope that there are other moms out there that are a shadow like my mother. My mom's name Carol C West and she has written 2 book's. I don't normally share this information. But I want people to know that my mother genuinely cared for alot of people. And that I've haven't been able let her go.

Your video is amazing. The comments below are a so true. I totally agree with them. My comments are below. Thanks for sharing!

Prayers and hugs 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ❤

Corri loved your video. You talked about fear the Lord said fear not for I am with you! God bless you and your family😊❤❤

Thank you for making this, I really like what you said at the end about faith and fear! I am sorry that your family had to go through so much all at once, but so grateful that you have God. Last year my Grandfather (who is 90) got so sick that everyone was saying that he didn't have a full week left to live, I went to see him as much as I could that week. He could barely speak but would always look up and ask if I brought my guitar, so I would sit with him and play music. He would sleep a lot of the time, and every time I left I thought it might be the last time. I prayed every day that he might pull through, but also if it was his time to go be with God that he go peacefully. That was almost a year ago and he is still here, and looks like his old self again! My cousin and his wife are about to have their first child, so he will get to meet another great-grandchild. I am so glad that your friend is still here and is progressing! I pray that we all have a great 2024! It's very exciting that your family is getting bigger this year 😀 I really appreciate you and your sister taking the time to make these videos. There were many times last year that in talking about what you were both going through, and how you looked at it through your faith, helped me look at my problems differently. Thank you! God bless you and all of your family 🙏🙂

Corie, God never closes one door without opening another. This year has been very trying for your family, but also full of many blessings. There is a song called Thank You for the Storm. Many different singers have done it here on KZfaq, I recommend listening to it if you haven't. Without the pain and sorrows of this world, we wouldn't know God's peace. We wouldn't be thankful for the sunshine if it weren't for the rain. Praying this year has more good times than bad, for everyone. God bless and stay safe!!

I lost my momma in October so this helped me so much.

A lovely talk. One of the suy

Corie, as a 75 year old man, one of the many reasons that I love and appreciate you so is that I so identify with you. I have spent the vast majority of my years loving God but always working so to please Him, to earn His love, all the while working to please man, a people pleaser. All of that required that I do more , be more, work harder, when scripture that you and I both know and can recite concerning His love for us suddenly became real ( He did it) suddenly I KNEW how much He loved me and I fell So in love with HIM. I no longer had to “ earn” His love . All I had to do was walk in it. It absolutely freed me. He loves me for me. I could just be me. Life became full of love ,joy and peace. I enjoy “ my” life more which includes the people around me. I appreciate and love them but I no longer live with that “ am I enough” mind set toward others or myself.You and all of your family are so precious to me. I look forward to seeing all that has for all of you in this new year.
