Amen! I agree. No apology needed.

That's because you weren't hurt. It's biblical, she has offended someone, and an apology is required, and important. She has done the right thing here in her apology and setting the record straight. More need to follow her example.

@@coffeepotmommah7291I would only add if. I still don't think Faith's video was being included. But no names were given. Jessica doesn't come across as that thin skinned to me. I could be wrong of course. But I agree with you. It's a lovely example of how we are to be.

I agree Amber. I think Faith's vlog was balanced.

@Tamiko2916 true, but if we were trying to avoid division there'd be a daily apology video. There will always be ruffled feathers. We can't please everyone.

I've created one for the same reason. I also took context into consideration

❤

I so agree with you!! ❤

I also think a lot of churches are fluff with no spiritual meat being taught, but just watered down milk posing as spiritual meat. Those who attend fluff churches spiritual meat might come off offense hence the ruffled feathers. Faith you put in a lot of thought into your past vlog.

Agreed! This! My good gravy if there’s one Christian woman on KZfaq that speaks truth in love, it’s Faith!

💯 agree. It makes me sad that you had to make this video to clarify something that didn’t need to be clarified. It would have been much more appropriate for the other content creator to approach you one on one instead of making a video that further divides believers. This was such a lost opportunity to show others how to resolve misunderstandings. Someone chose not to see your heart, but God uses all things for good, and here you are giving others the opportunity to see how graceful, loving, kind and God honoring you are. Thank you for all your hard work and God driven mission. Your content has ignited and inspired me to read and love the word of God.

She never mentioned Faith. I don't think it was about her video. And the video was done respectfully I thought. Both are wonderful Christian women 😊

That was the best part of the video! I questioned myself on it as well. I thought the video was great and a self-check for me!

Agree

YES!!!

I saw another video from unamed creator. That was fuleling this now by faith quenched fire. My heart is sad that the one offended didn't reach out to faith privately. Instead posted a less then understanding video on what they assumed faith meant. And that's sad to me

Something that she shouldn't have had to do from the beginning. The creator that fueled the fire should be showing maturity and humbleness.

That's so cool! Praise the Lord. Thank you for your kindness and grace towards me!

Amen & totally agreed with your comments. Let's praise the Lord for how He's bringing us closer to Him through His Word & prayer. Faith, thank you for your kind and encouraging words & ministry to us!

@@HowtoFaithALife Any advice on how to get into the Word daily? I tend to go in spurts and then fall behind again.

Faith, what a sweet and humble spirit you radiate in all your videos. I saw the video you're referencing, and I didn't hear anything that seemed ill-intentioned or judgmental... just a sister with some ideas that I thought were important. I love that you responded to those who heard something different from what you intended. Sensitivity is JESUS through and through. It's NORMAL to have people misinterpret our hearts. I love something you said in this video so much that I'm worrying it down, taking it away with me, and maybe just ironing it out with a touch b of grace for oneself: you said that you were misunderstood by many, and that means you did something "wrong." This is what I'm writing down for myself: "When my intentions are misinterpreted, I will look without condemning myself for how I may have caused it. Whatever I find in my own delivery that might have been part of it, I will acknowledge to God, myself, and those who were offended, and be aware of it moving forward." You didn't DO something wrong. You spoke with good intentions, and it simply landed wrong with some. I SEE you embracing accountability, valuing your platforn, and loving the people who value your ministry. Your tears really touched me. I think that is such a demonstration of how deeply-rooted you heart is in loving others and SERVING people with what God is doing in YOUR personal walk with Jesus. I have seen a great sincerity in your countenance from the first video I saw, and I am so blessed by that. It makes what you say very reliable to me. It's not always the case that people remain humble and grounded as they become more visible. Regardless of the bumps in the road, I am CONFIDENT that the Lord is GOING to continue to honor your efforts, bless your ministry, and bring to completion the great work He began in you long, long ago. For REALZIES! (I love that!) 🥰 ** Side-Note • I just downloaded your Grace Bible Reading Plan, and I'm starting November 1st. Can't wait! Sleep in peace, sweet girl! ❤

Yes I agree. She was just giving us some tips. I didn’t took it in a bad way either. Faith is so awesome in making this video. She didn’t had to.

I agree with you, Janet. Faith is one of the very few Christian influencers who teaches not only the importance of the context of scripture, but teaches HOW to understand the context (verse mapping, in-depth Bible studies, etc). She goes above and beyond to teach and inspire a love of actually studying the Bible. And she is REAL. She bears all of the fruits of the spirit - love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I wish there were more authentic Bible study influencers available to us on youtube, because I feel like she bears the load of all who have run from the call of God to do exactly what she is doing. I wish I were qualified to teach as well as she does.

Amen 🙏🏼

Absolutely ❤

She can share her opinion on any topic that she sees fit, what if it doesn't seem convenient in my opinion is to use parts of another content creator's video and "build" based on an image that the other person created. Building in love is what should be done and the previous video that was uploaded could have been done without the need to "include" the other sister in faith.

NOW I AM CRYING!!! 😭😭😭 Praising the Lord and also speechless.Also, thank you for that encouragement, I feel like I just got a literal hug through the computer!

@@HowtoFaithALife❤❤❤ 100% agree with Jules! I feel bad that you felt the need to apologize. I didn’t see anything wrong with your video. I love how you are very humble and genuine when it comes to anything biblical. Your love for our Lord is the most genuine I’ve seen here on the KZfaq platform, which is why I started subscribing and watching. I feel like your videos and teachings are very genuine , humble , and the most important biblical. I want to get deep in my studies and you help with that. I ordered your Bible cliff notes and I am in love!! I have them in my study Bible and they have really helped me grow. Blessings to you for taking the time to do all of this for our FATHER and for us to help us grow!❤❤❤❤

yes, and perfectly understood the message she was trying to send, also this will be strong in her because she had pastoral training. She knows what she is talking about. :) Love u Faith and your dedication towards creating videos for the enrichment of our Spiritual walk in life.

@@HowtoFaithALife you deserve it, Your amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️

What you said is perfect!! I Love your personal experience. It's true Faith has helped a lot of people including me in my darkest days. God bless you!

Agreed, nothing to apologize for

💯

Same. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It didn't come across as bullying to me. It actually made me feel better for not wanting to have a prayer Bible. They are great for those who benefit from those but it helped me not to feel pressured to have one for myself.

I agree, I actually went back and watched it again and I didn't see what all the fuss is about. Faith was encouraging and reiterating the need to be sure about the context, which is always a good reminder. 🤷‍♀

@@wildchildhome3866 exactly. Prayer Bibles aren't for everyone.

Agreed!

Yes!!

Love "I also believe a new believer praying scripture out of context is just as powerful." Phrased perfectly. 💯 ❤❤❤❤

I agree totally, Little Sister!!

@@DebbieMoore5477 Love you, sis 🥰

Nailed it “lots of emotional are running high”

YES! Especially if it's something someone doesn't want to hear or corrections to someone in sin

I just found your videos! You’re awesome! ❤️

@@Renewed85 absolutely. Correcting and rebuking can be tough but necessary

@@KatieVernon09 aww thank you 🥰

@bloombiblically I actually watched you getting attacked in the comments by a creator one night 🤯 praying for you

I feel the same way

👏🏼

I also felt the same. The sisterita video seemed rushed and aggressive, and honestly, I unsubscribed. It didn't settle well with my soul. I love the prayer bible concept, and I hope she pray she finds in her heart to have grace and forgiveness for any offense she felt. As a new Christian, the back and forth videos get discouraging. I'm praying for the issue to ve settled in peace and love soon.

When I saw sisterita's video, I didn't think she was referring to Faith. I've seen prayer bible criticism videos that annoyed me bcuz I thought they were mean spirited. Faith's video wasn't like that at all. She shouted her out.

@Summerbrat78 Faith is handling it with much grace, humility, and maturity. Don't be discouraged - this is a good example of going the extra mile for the sake of Christ and unity in the body. Take heart in that 💗

I've been glancing through a lot of these responses and yours is the one I agree w/most thus far. We're not all scholars. We don't all have seminary and/or theological and other extensive biblical background and training and knowledge. Most of us just find or fall upon some KZfaq channel that catches our attention and that we like and we feel we can relate with or that makes us feel comfortable and we "subscribe." But let us not forget, we are sisters in Christ, not sisters of or for or in Jessica or Faith or one of other thousands. To offend is a sin. To be offended is also a sin. (I Googled that). Most of us are sheep (me), listening for our Shepherd's voice and trying hard to follow Him. Trying hard to grow in love, faith, hope, charity, His Word, His Way. What us sheep have is an interest, a desire, a true ❤ to be closer to God and his Word. We're trying hard to follow Him like all those who followed Him in the bible. Have you ever thought how beautiful it would be if we could sit down on the grass on a softly clouded day, or under a large shading tree, or on the shore of soft ripples and just be one of them and just Listen to His soft spoken word and all his parables? That thought, wow! Anyway, how we get there doesn't matter. HE knows our ❤. Any way we come to Him, with or without a "nerd" bible, with or without a "prayer" bible, I'm sure makes 0 difference to Him. All He wants is for us to come. Like I posted as my personal response... Grace and dishonor come from speaking and a man's tongue is his downfall. Sirach 5:13. Stay blessed sweet sister in CHRIST. 🙏🙏

If you’re scared of using your prayer Bible in the wrong way, then I think that already means you are coming from the right place. Our understanding of the Bible will probably continue to evolve throughout our lives, and I think the same could even apply to scholars. Don’t be too hard on yourself as long as you are using the prayer Bible to deepen your relationship with God.

Amen!!! 👏

I don't think Jessica was speaking of Faith either. Social media is tricky, because anybody can become a perceived authority. And when it comes to someone's spiritual walk, we know how badly that can turn out. What criticism that normally would be discussed person to person as scripture directs is blasted out to billions of people and can be totally misconstrued.

I am so sad that someone may think that I am criticizing or critiquing prayer Bibles. I actually love them!! But I do have a personal struggle with context. It is personal. And I’ve mentioned that in several videos. If my Prayer Bible videos are watched in order by date, I think it my “Prayer Bible Dangers” video would make a lot more sense. If I have offended anyone, please know that was never ever my intention. 😢

@@nickidrake Your gifts are in verse mapping, and I bet for that you are everyone's go to.

@nickidrake didn't say anything Faith didn't say. Why are people getting so upset because a few women with a heart for God and utmost respect for the holy Scriptures want believers to remain true to said Scriptures? Nicki doesn't just teach verse mapping and her ministry has been a great blessing to many, many sisters, far beyond the verse mapping process.

Context is important in verse mapping too. Context is always something to be aware of. That’s why praying the scriptures needs to go hand in hand with exegetical study. That’s where Faith and I both are coming from. Praying scripture is great. But rightly dividing the Word is at the same time essential.

❤

IT IS A VERY REAL FEAR!

Sending hugs and I just saw the video you mentioned. My heart sunk. She seemed offended, but you can't control how people feel, or their responses.
