Video

For the first time I listened while I rode my bike it was great instead of music 😇I felt the spirit many times thank you😇

I brushed off a late night message when a reply was taking to long.. now, I wish I'd been more patient

I agree... He is an amazing speaker.. and so knowledgeable... He teaches with the Spirit..but is sad to hear him speak of his late wife- and a remarkable testimony at the same time

Although I have profound respect and love for people of all faiths Mormonism is based on deciept and lies from the beginning and it has grown to become a criminal organization That robs poor people and protects child abusures . Christanity is idolatry We have to turn our hearts to the God of Isreal and have no other Gods before you . I highly recommend that you study the origins of christanity it is not what people think it is . New Testsment writers very deliberately took the Hebrew Bible and misappropriated the Hebrew Scriptures to create the New Testament Narrative It’s all in the Let’s Get Biblical with Rabbi Tovia Singer . Have a blessed day 😊

I do believe God wants His believers to return to an organized church whether it is a Catholic church, a Lutheran Church, an evangelical church, Jehovah’s Witnesses or LDS church. Dropping everything and completely surrender oneself to a church is never easy. We concern our careers, everyday lives, our plans to be carried out according to our schedules and certain appointed times. We get used to certain routines. Surely, it is very tough for people to drop routine plans and their lives to an environment of uncertainty. It may be easier for a teenager who has not established anything. Teenage years are the years for exploration. That is why LDS church encourages the young people at 17 or 18 to go on missions for 2 years. After their missions, the church wants them to settle down, get married to have families to establish the roots of their own family trees. It is certainly hard for an all grown up person like Abraham to leave his birthplace to migrate to a new place like a nomad. This requires a lot of faith. Abraham had complete faith in God. Peter, Andrew, John and James had faith in Jesus. They dropped everything right away when Jesus called upon them. Faith is a mysterious thing. It is hard to explain what faith is. Abraham and Jesus’ apostles didn’t have the pyramid of faith. They had ‘blind’ faith in God and Jesus. Maybe, enlightenment ran through their veins inside them. We may have to ask ourselves about our faith someday at a certain point of our lives. It is a challenge. Oh God, please don’t give me a hard time.

I have listened to this video at least 5 times. I feel that LDS church is probably one of the most organized churches with tight communities. Jehovah’s Witnesses is also an organized Christian church with a loosely knitted community. Some people like that way. Catholic and many Protestant churches have believers who choose to become buddies with a certain small group and isolate the others. Whatever will be! God has His way to lead us to our final days. Sometimes I do believe that something happened certain ways are the ways God trains us, strengthens us, teaches us to adapt to love and accept the differences with an open heart as a Christian.

Thank you so much, your questioning of the Book of Mormon at age 14 is going to help my niece today 💗🙏

Michael Wilcox’s lecture has profound meaning. I can’t find I listen enough to what he says. So I come back to listen and listen to his lecture at different time. I feel I learn something or feel something different each time I return to listen. I believe God is seeing every individual’s heart condition. I also believe God forgives our weaknesses. The most important thing is we keep God in our hearts and God knows that we are having a relationship with Him. My friends and some acquaintances in my former churches like to ask me why I have never sought for my better half after my marriage was annulled and in fact long gone well before it was annulled. I often reply that I trust God for my future. God can make me feel very peaceful and content even when I am alone.

One Gospel: Gospel of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.

I fall asleep too easily. If I were one of the ten brides to wait for the bridegroom, I might be the first one to fall asleep deeply. I would fail terribly. I pray to God that Jesus won’t show up suddenly in the middle of the night.

On the road to Damascus, Apostle Paul encountered Jesus. Acts 9: 3-20 Paul had evidence to support his faith. So he converted to Christianity and became a follower of Jesus. Nevertheless, not everyone has evidence to support his or her faith. I think we need to keep talking to God. Faith may grow over time. The Lutherans believe that God chooses us and not we choose God. I respect God’s supreme authority. I don’t want to question God why He allows certain things to happen. We all know the twelve apostles suffered horrible deaths except Apostle John. I don’t want to question God why so many Christ’s followers suffered so tremendously and even became martyrs. I would rather focus my attention on God’s presence . I constantly ask God to have merciful kindness on me, so I can conquer every hurdle or let the hurdle go away as I watch on the fence . I know blaming God is not helpful. I have thought about how to entrust my life to an organized church such as a Catholic Church and not a TV ministry. The priests can conduct religious rituals and ceremonies. An organized church can offer a reliable lawyer to establish a will or a living trust. In the end, I will return to dust and it is a good thing for me to do by returning what I have to God through an organized church after I die. I have not carried out the plan yet but I will after I retire. I will have more time and energy to devote to a church after my retirement.

It is so much more interesting when I can watch the conversation not just look at a photograph.

I’m just starting to watch your video but wanted to say Hi🙋‍♀️ and I love you both💕

This is the funniest story ever!

Beautiful discussion. Can’t wait for more!

John, again, what a delightful and inspiring discussion. Thanks again, dear friend.

John, I loved this podcast and your discussion with Dr Wilcox. I believe that I could listen to your music all day long. Thank you for mixing the spoken message with that which is sung. Sometimes a soul can be touched only through music. I look forward to part II.

I love the video and I watch it again and again because I love the gorgeous song

Your music is super inspirational and played an important a part in providing me, as a teenager, with experiences of feeling the Holy Spirit testifying of truth through your musical gift. Thank you!!!

Hi John! Are you the same kind man that I, Connie Bradfield used to sing with? I am still Connie Waterman for 43 years now! I love your beautiful voice old singing buddy of mine! Did you ever sing a song called, You Are Not Alone? I have been looking for that beautiful song.♥️🙏

Top G

such a blessing thank you

All of life is "A Gift From Him". John Canaan, thank you for this beautiful and powerful song of praise to our faithful Creator and Provider.

Yea I walk past geese a lot going to work and if it’s just adults they might hiss but you show your dominant and walk through em they turn away but if they have babies they will fight anytime anywhere so I keep my distance lol cuz god forbid I wave my hand as a natural defense reaction and hurt it’s lil peanut head. I’d feel beyond bad.

It's near impossible for me to read white text on a pale gray background, so I had to stop watching.

Another video on this goose shows a woman hand-feeding it, which tracks with the behavior--sometimes this goose is 'attacking', but several other times it is more like 'aggressively panhandling.' Also, in the other video, it is not clear if the goose is male or female. The tail looks a little blunt for a gander, and the neck a little short. Could be 'Aunt Goose' helping look after some nieces and nephews.

I loved this clip and have shared it with many. The song is so lovely and I really admired your talent. - Charlotte

My Sister had two Birds attacking her and her son when they came out of their homes it was a nest on her porch " over her door. It didn't mess with me because I always' feed the wild birds seeds" these was birds out town. Black and orange. 😂 When they get off work they run inside.

I remember this song. I remember a lot of your music. I think Love is what my husband lived for with all his friends and colleagues.

2:14 LOL I love it!

Hi Gangsta and fam! Happy Father’s Day to one devoted dad!😂❤️

I loved this whole story, but one of the coolest things about it is that it gave rise to such a beautiful song. We never know where our inspiration is coming from--thank you! 💖💖🌹🌹

That guy chased me several times!

I saw this and heard your song at the end. I thought, wait, I think it was a John Canaan who did a song many years ago, that I really liked, that I forgot about. I found What if I Loved You, and now the rest of your music. I’m glad I watched the Gangsta videos.

5:00 when the music started playing I lost my shit

Loved this, John. And your song at the end... beautiful.

The crazy thing is Geese and Ducks can crossbreed and this is most definitely a duck he is protecting so its not even his eggs. Still a badass goose. Thanks for the video.

They will be back next year!! I've had the same pair lay eggs every year same spot for the past 5 years. Beautiful creatures that mate for life

I hope nobody felt personally persecuted… while this may have been one of the few geese in the area, it looks like it “Gangsta-ificated” everyone while protecting others. A precious story of irony watching the same “Gangster” goose making us cry from tears of laughter, disbelief, as well as love and compassion at the same time.

John, your music tells a story that cannot be read outloud , thank you for being such a great example

Precious, so so precious!!

Beautiful, indeed.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Beautiful song!

❤❤❤🌎

This is so beautiful and touching, I am only 8 years old and I heard 6 year old Claire Crosby sing this, I don't know if anyone else knows about her, but I am very fond of her, And this song and so amazing, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO THINK!

This has always been my favourite LDS song. Very calm and really does brings peace in my life❤👌

everytime my migraine attacks, i play and sing this song. it dulls the pains of migraine... Thank you so much for this song...
