Hi everyone! Is anyone having sound issues with this video? I hear it okay, but I've been getting some messages that some are not able to hear it.

It was interesting how disarmed he became by the depth of the questions. What a gracious man he was to not use the quick coffe break as a means to exit the conversation.

I love that he just walks around with a full on ceramic mug 😂 ❤

Who can be nasty to you? You are so sweet. I like to ask strangers if they are scared to die. One can tell a lot from their answers.

On another note... I love your style! Wonderful to evangelize so naturally like this. Praise God ❤

I really find street interviews / discussions really interesting! Definately record more and make them longer if time allows

I love these videos!he was very open and honest and this was a great conversation! Praying for this man that he would come to know Jesus and he would be transformed.

God is in control of all things from beginning to end Amen 🙏

Of course, there's always going to be something you could have done differently, but the fact that you are going out and doing these street interviews is wonderful. Please, don't beat yourself up about what you could have done "better". You are planting seeds in hearts and rocks in shoe. You're doing good work.

Melissa, I really like that you do these street interviews and commentary at the end. I also like that you base your questions on the worldview the person is coming from because that's what Apostles, Prophets, and even The Biblical narrative tends to do. Thank you for sticking with The Truth, look forward to more content like this, thank you very much again, and God Bless

You are asking the basic questions for all humanity! More power to you!

Dr. Frank Turek‘s answer to the truth question is classic! He calls the law of non-contradiction and its valid, rational and logical. Essentially, you can have your truth and I can have my truth but they both can’t be right.

I loved how disarmed this man was. I have found that seeking genuine love with the person that you are speaking with is so important. We’re not there to pound the gospel down their throats and we’re not there to meet a quick deadline. We are there to share good news, and we are there to do it in a manner that is loving. When people have their guard up, it’s because they feel there is no love, but the Bible says love cast out fear. Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love God and love others as yourself. Good job on disarming and genuinely asking questions to try and understand his position. Also, I loved that you said pray for him. I really did and it is because you asked❤

My side still hurts from the "We got kicked out of the mall" line. You're learning - thanks for the honesty and candor. You rawk.

I really am learning a lot through your interviews with people about spiritual matters. Thank you so much for sharing ways to approach people about God and the Bible. I always get very fearful that I will say the wrong thing and that does stop me for even talking about it.

The very first thing needed is to really have a heart for the people we approach. You genuinely seem to have a heart for others.

I would use easier words to understand than subjective, objective and social construct. Most people won't understand these myself included. We didn't all get an A in English :)

This was cute! I hope you left an impression on him to where he digs for truth and finds it! Keep up the great work for the Lord!

Love these Melissa! I’d highly recommend getting some gospel tracts and making sure they leave with the gospel message. Living Waters has some terrific ones and their KZfaq Channel is great at showing Christians how to use the Law to bring a knowledge of sin and then sharing the good news!

Thank you! really enjoy these kind of videos. Looking forward to the other ones. God is good!

I love that you're doing this...I love to see this.

You have some great interviewing skills.

So interesting! So glad that people were willing to talk to ya'll. My family lives in Albuquerque so it was especially meaningful.

Oh Melissa 😃🙏🏻How I LOVE your interviews and your videos.... Thank you. Thank you and God bless you. Hi from Elisa in Denmark

You did this interview respectful. Honestly, a lot of christians try to push their point of view on other people (and often judging). Life is like full of Puzzle-Pieces. And you were maybe one for this man. Greetings from Switzerland.

Great quesrions, awesome job at organizing your thoughts, navigating the questions in an organized manner and for being able to recognize that a question sometimes needs to be rephrased in order for the other person to understand what's being asked. He seemed very gracious 🙂 I hope he continues to think upon the questions that you asked, they are worth thinking about.

Wow, you do ask good questions Melissa. Very thoughtful, in depth, and quite meaty!

I didn’t notice any shaking of the camera. Keep up the good work, Melissa. I use this as a teaching tool for myself on how to have good interactive conversation with random people to help them think.

This is a very refreshing video. I like the way you are approaching this. Prayers for hearts to be touched.

You were in ABQ??? Oh darn I missed you!! Thank you for what you do, Melissa!

I really enjoy this, you give a helpful example on how to talk with strangers about God ❤

I really LIKE This particular LIKABLE vid.👍 Thanks! & Keep up the Good work, Melissa

I love the question approach to your conversation. I’m really interested to see more vids like this. Very refreshing.

Thanks for posting. I find this edifying

I find it interesting that he was trying to avoid truth and objective right or wrong. It can make us uncomfortable, but we all must ask these question because it is crucial and we are people we all should be looking for truth.

Terrific Melissa! Thank you

Love these! Omgsh you're inspiring me i want to do this

A Great interview Melissa, and thank you. ❤😊.

Love, Loveee what you're doing! Have your camera guy switch to manual focus once he has you in focus and there isn't a ton of movement

You were perfect. Could see how kind you are and speaking truth in love and asking and listening is so underrated. You ask great questions!!

Honestly, I love the reveal of your internal dialogue. As a longtime viewer, it seemed like you’d be able to have these conversations so easily, leading everyone to salvation. So, thank you for your vulnerability of sharing the things you wish you would have said… It brings such authenticity to these videos and is a great encouragement to me. As much as I know that it’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, it’s still hard to put myself out there and not feel like a failure for not saying all the right things.

Melissa, I loved listening to this interview!

I really like these types of videos. They’re encouraging me to speak more about my faith.

I really appreciated this conversation! I will say that I was always of the understanding that murder is specifically the shedding of innocent blood.

This guy, Corey, demonstrated genuine grace. (I think) the questions, and some of the words, used were too esoteric. If you were having a discussion with another apologist, the inquiries would be better understood. Good on you for acting on the inspiration to get out in the world and have these conversations.

“More of a naturist” - I *hope* he means ‘naturalist’ 😅 but seriously, love what I’m learning from these interviews!

I love these. Keep them coming. Please😊

You are getting better at these. There's already a channel for 10 minute gospel interviews, but no one does 10 minute apologetic street interviews. This could be a really good series for a really long time.

We got kicked out 😰 aww haha you guys were so pumped up! Thank you for your ministry 😊

I like the approach you are taking. Asking simple questions. Other than Morality (deep question in reality). It is a simple question on the surface. Wow is it a REALLY deep question. That question to me is proof positive of God. When one tries to answer it. Looking first to more of your interviews.

I love your videos. Wish you could post more!

Great place to share the Gospel. I was there a couple of years ago. There is a crystal shop there, I had to leave. They were doing sage and all this stuff. I got nauseous and shaky with a headache. I felt better going back out in the 110 degree temperature.

Keep being a light, Melissa!

Fascinating stuff- really enjoying g these videos

Love your questions.

"It's in the Bible, or something, I guess..." Classic line for Melissa's show!

Nice job ma'am 👍

Love these videos Melissa. I was wondering if you could speak on the difference between objective and subjective? It’s odd but I didn’t understand the difference and I’m still learning. Thanks.

Good work Melissa.

I was at the Mall yesterday. Had to go to the Apple Store. Got kicked out because i didn’t have any money. Ha! Love the ABQ.

Melissa said that she went into these with no questions prepared so I'd definitely watch more where she prepares questions. I think it would help. Or it would be cool if she just asked one question to multiple people and put those in a video. ^•^ I very much enjoy these videos. It really does help with people who are anxious about having conversations.

Keep it going! 🙏🏻😁

Those were some really good questions. Though for people who dont really think about that stuff. But im sure he will be thinking about them now

Good questions presented!

I pray for this man and I assume and hope that Melissa shared the gospel with him (even if he doesn't understand it now it really helps pit a pebble in people's shoes).

Lovin this!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d love if you do a video on your opinions of Catholicism looking into the Eucharist, confession, where the Bible came from, why Martin Luther didn’t include certain books, ect..

If you want to fix autofocus, I'd recomend having you and your subject in the light with a darker background, camera's tend to focus on areas with the most light. Then again, it looked like a hot day, so I fully understand the need to stay in the shade, maybe shoot from a different position relative to the light/backround. Another lovely interview regardless!

The 'it's in the Bible or something' reference as an in-joke at 1:00. Clever :)

4:07 on stealing... It's a trap! -- the real answer is that 🥁... Stealing is always wrong, it's always a sin. Culpability is usually helpful for dissecting a situation like the one described. Who out momma in that situation, was it her own choices, was she abandoned, was there a catastophy? Also there isn't a net good. There is the bad of stealing, and there is the good of providing for her children, but you can't combine those two fruits into the same basket and say they cancelled out.

Interesting video that you have shared with us that watch your channel.

Good job, keep it up Melissa and camera guy lol

Hi, nice interview! Do you give them your name / KZfaq account? Then they can watch your video's or their own interview when they have more time, and maybe see more about these life questions. Would be great I think. And nice necklaces!

I could not hear any audio on the video but heard your commentary perfectly 🤔

I love these

Only one thing I'd suggest, Melissa. But before I say, let me first say you did (you're doing) great! Great questions. We need to be leading people with questions - many of us are too concerned about what we're going to say, talking too much. Get them talking (with a genuine loving interest in them). Let them talk, find out about them, they respect you for it, and you gain trust and build rapport - even in such a limited time. Everybody's favorite topic is themselves. Also, great question about truth - is it fluid based on culture at the time or is it consistent across time? I'll definitely use it! The one thing I'd suggest is to make sure you speak scripture during your conversation. Even if it's just one scripture. The Word is the seed. That's what they'll take away from conversation. Then the Holy Spirit can work with it after they've left you - especially in such a brief encounter - you've planted it in them. All your other questions and conversation is preparing the soil, then you can plant the seed. You can even use it as the basis for a question. For instance, "The Bible says eternal life is a gift of God through Jesus, not something we earn by how good we are. What do you think that means?" You've spoken Truth into them - job done - then get them to talk about, which means they have to think about it. Otherwise, nicely done! I'll keep watching.

I really do like these.

You were kicked out of the mall? Better call Saul...

Prayers for Corey 🙏🏼❤️✝️

I was surprised to find that this man's name is Corey (I'm not sure how he spells it). I have a classmate named Korey and I think it's a pretty unique name. I just came home from Korey's best friend's memorial service. We're seniors in highschool and he tragically lost his best friend to cancer. Please pray for Korey's salvation, and for everyone who is mourning to be comforted.

Thank you for being bold, edgy, interesting, and fun with approaching the subject of Christianity: Jesus and biblical truths! (Side note, I lived in ABQ for 13 yrs. Definitely, either Catholic or New Age beliefs are the big beliefs in ABQ. I had to leave ABQ to dive deeper into my relationship with Jesus without all the "religion/traditions into Bible study, understanding and living the word, and hard truths to salvation) now I need to follow your suggestions on boldly asking Jesus questions with the help of the Holy Spirit!

On another note: your hair looks amazing in this video

His problem was he didn't know the difference between objective and subjective. Only after he was given an example (which he asked for, so he can discern what you just meant by "objective"), did he then gingerly offer up a response. An angle that not many people seem to appreciate and observe is how a person responds to something you say to them or ask them; through their body language, writing style or tone of voice.

Ok… but how did I know you were New Mexican from the first video I saw of you- I’m so glad I’m right

Hey!!! Do you go to Skip Heitzig's church??? I attend a church he planted. Blessings and prayers for your new endeavor here!

People in Albuquerque are very nice. I lived in NM for 10 years and in ABQ for 7 years.

The dialogue was very thoughtful and well done. Praying for Corey to come to Christ.

I’m not sure if it’s just a me problem but worth mentioning - when wearing headphones during these interviews, the sound mainly comes out of the left

New mexico ? My condolences .

Now I just want go to NM so I can get interviews by Melissa! :)

You are very good at this. You should do it more.

Wow she’s good n fluid with her conversation.

One point of advice: make sure to clearly distinguish between (1) objective vs subjective, and (2) absolute vs relative. The way you were defining objective in the conversation was actually more like absolute (i.e. non-relative). This is something William Lane Craig has explained very helpfully as to why he doesn’t use “absolute” language and instead uses “objective.” If you grasp the difference, it will really help. In the context of morality, “absolute” would be like saying the right or wrong is not situation dependent. On the flip side, “relative” would mean it is situation dependent. This is not the same thing as saying moral truth is “subjective.” Here “relative” would mean that the context of the behaviour is relevant for determining the moral duty or prohibition. Like your example with the midwives, it is the case that lying was permissible and even praised by God. The context for their behaviour was relevant. Likewise with self-defence. These are relative to the situation but, according to Scripture, not subjective. Subjective morality would mean that moral values and duties are based in the subject not the object. It is a matter of how I think about it, feel about it, or perceive it. Objective truth means it is true independent of what anyone feels, thinks, or perceives. The midwives killing the Hebrew babies boys under the command of a tyrant would always be wrong. Note that the moral truth here includes the species of action which is in part defined by its context. It is that specific action about which we must figure out if it is right or wrong. And according to a Biblical worldview, it is objectively right or wrong. It’s not dependent upon our knowledge of whether it is right or wrong, or dependent upon our feelings and perception. Were it defined by that dependency, then it would be subjective. Subjectivism is really what we mean when we talk of moral relativism. So in the conversation, the gentleman wasn’t clearly denying objective moral truth based on the way you were asking questions. He was simply saying the right and wrong must include the context of the situation as a factor for us to figure out whether it is right or wrong. I do think that if you pressed him on objectivity (defining it as something true independent of what anyone thinks or feels), he may show that he thinks morality is subjective. Hope that helps. Keeps the videos coming.

A lot of people don’t understand what objective and subjective morality means. Even I had to research these terms when I first heard this. I think if you’re not a seasoned apologist you won’t know what these mean. But it is good to ask people questions to see where they are at.

👋 Need help understanding chakras,healing ,crystals, meditation etc... Do you have a video that explains this topic. Thank you!❤

I love that this guy obviously is against religion but was such a good participant. Most people now a days when you mention God or the bible get angry and sometimes violent in defense of their sins. We need to have conversations, for both sides.

Well done. Just a word of advice for future discussions: if you reference the murder example again, try to elucidate the difference between killing and murder; they’re not the same thing, despite people commonly using these terms interchangeably. Killing in and of itself isn’t necessarily wrong, as in the examples of self-defense and certain acts of war. Murder, on the other hand, is the unjustified taking of innocent life (eg. walking up to a random person and shooting them in the head). The former can be warranted in some instances, but the latter has no justification, ever.

Sound only in left channel. Video editor should be able to fix that somehow--switch stereo to mono.

I love the question if you would die today, do u think you’d go to heaven? Then if they say yes or no, the simple question why do u think God would welcome you or why you don’t think you’d be welcome. Tells you pretty much exactly where they are in their walk.

Interesting
