Let me tell you something… Jackie crying - on a public forum - over God’s kindness and faithfulness, while sitting with her husband, who she’s learned to feel safe with… over the course of years. Layers. God is good.
❤️
I love this comment. You have to remember watching her old self & just watching how God has saved her from herself probably made her emotional. Then to sit beside a person she doesn't have to hide from & can be your complete self is beautiful. God is love ❤
He is too good!!!❤
Love this comment I’m mad I only found out about them recently
THIS!!!!!
Preston loves his wife like Christ loves the church. It’s like we watched them fall in love all over again. 😭 Love y’all
Amen and Jackie prayed for him before marriage. Something I wish I was taught growing up, but I'm grateful to know now so I can teach my daughter and future children.
This is it, so beautiful.
Yes!!!!
Was anyone else warmed by Preston’s ability to quote Jackie’s poem with her. I LOVE their friendship and the detail and interest he takes in her no matter how many years they have known each other is so heart warming. Thank you both for such a beautiful episode and thank you Jackie for telling your testimony then, now, and to come #anexhomosexual
STRUCK ME DEEP! This episode gave me absolute LIFE! Don't even PLAY! This is what happens when GOD's plan comes together! SO INCREDIBLE!
Yes I was❤
Absolutely!!!
I see your hashtag bestfriend. I know her poem was one of the first times you felt seen and understood in this way. Praise God for Jackie and Preston’s ministry, they out here being vessels of the Lord.
❤
“When God saved me, He saved me for real.” -Jackie Hill Perry
May this be the declaration of every born again believer! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
❤️🙏🏽
📌💯💯
My husband was abused physically and had cancer as a child, when i met him he stuttered so bad he could barely state his name. Today he speaks clearly, is cancer free, and a great father to both our children. The victory belongs to Jesus!!❤❤❤HES ALL I NEED!!!👍🏽🙋🏾♀💯✌🏾🙏🙏
When GOD literally orchestrates a couple for his Glory. A friend and lover in 1😭❤️🙌🏾 Lord let us not settle !
I felt this comment yes lord Jesus
Seeing Jackie cry just shows how God really softened her heart and the simple fact that she doesn't want to ruin her makeup is just more evidence of his working in her. I love it so much!
wow Preston's poem had me cheesing so hard. I really love their relationship!!
And all the things!!!
I love how he lays his hands on her legs as they rewatch that. Like he’s supporting her. So beautiful. What a moment of vulnerability, yet filled with God’s glory. God’s goodness is overwhelming.
I thought I was the only one to see it … it’s like, he’s protecting her with such gentleness.
I like how Preston is a fan of his wife
I was there the night Preston proposed to Jackie. It’s been amazing to watch them grow in the Lord collectively and individually. 💕💕💕
Yes I was there too!
I see Jackie low-key blushing as Preston said he thinks her eyes are beautiful with or without lashes ❤❤❤
Preston mimicking that "Yes, come hurr" had me dying🤣🤣🤣
😂😅🤣
Yes sounded just like their daughter, Eden
Truly brought to tears when Jackie understood how Holy Spirit was working through her at that time. Blessings.
Then the proposal.🥲
Jackie is the first famous Christian influencer the Lord introduced me to when I was first saved at 19. It blows my mind how many similarities our testimonies have and I truly look up to her and aspire to be as wise and educated on the Bible as her. Jackie you have truly touched the hearts of so many women of all ages!!! God works through you so beautifully and amazingly. I am now 20 and still keep up with you and now many others. I love yall 🤍
I was like 13 when I saw Jackie's first poem. I was struggling with the same exact things. Had a similar backstory but suppressed it at the time. It resonated to the very core of me more and more each passing year as God held my hand to relive and process my early childhood. It changed my life. So thank you Jackie! I'm 24 now and I have been a Christian for 7 years. You are a massive reason why I even got on the path back to Christ in the first place. Your openness has helped me so much and I pray that God continues to strengthen you and your family.
Can you guys make an episode about how parents are to educate children about sex and Purity ❤
What an excellent suggestion!!
Yessss This !!
Perry's I 🙏🏼 that y'all see this request. We NEED to know how to talk to them.
1:06:39 The cutest 😂 Jackie being all speechless & Preston’s excitement. I cannot 😂😂
Your poem Jackie, wrecked me. It was truly Holy Spirit inspired and the Word went deep and brought healing. I am a Christian woman who once lost my relationship. A prodigal come home. It is His kindness that has me weeping too. He is so good because He is the Shepherd who goes after the one.
That poem blessed my whole soul. I'm with you 🥹
Amen
This trip down memory lane was sooo dope. Thanks y’all.
I'm crying because I left so many woman more broken, I broke so many of them. I pray for them now but I regret trying to be the man to them i needed in my life. I remember over 10 years ago , finding you in PC4M. The peom made me mad because I was choosing hell to keep my lifestyle, you candor and boldness about the lifestyle angered the sin in me.
Thank you for being the example I fought against. I am now the example for others, Praise God for you Jackie, your obedience to our God, Glory to God.
y’all this is my favorite episode thus far 🥹 THIS THE VERSION OF JACKIE THAT CHANGED MY HEART!! From the Ex-Stud poem to the Weed poem chileee…. the Lord used you lol some of us needed that exactly how you gave it! ♥️
when the camera panned to the stud in the corner, I lost it and cried. It's so beautiful to see her touched by your testimony.
The way my face hurts from smiling through this entire video!!!! UUUGGHHH!!! I just loooove yall so much. 😭😭😭
People admire the platforms, but sometimes we don't appreciate the trauma, conviction, sacrifice, and wrestling with God that has brought you to where you are today!! 👐🏾👐🏾 My prayer is that God would give me the courage to use my story and the burdens He has placed on my heart for His glory!! Keep letting the Lord use you!!! 😭😭💜💜🙏🏾🙏🏾
I absolutely love Preston’s love for Jackie! 😭❤️ how he knows every word to how he touched her chin even as she pulled away, I do the same to my husband but it’s us feeling blushed lol
Anybody else cry through this whole podcast?! 😭🩷
Let me just say Preston knowing the poem is awesome, true love! That’s also what the bible means when it says, and he knew her! The intimacy level is what I share with my husband, and it also gets on your nerves😊…. But Chile! The goosebumps from how you projected.
The Perry’s are so beautiful. They are a beautiful expression of God’s love and redemption.
This is so true❤ and beautiful to see.
I know y’all are sick of writing poetry but man…please don’t stop. Ya’ll poetry has helped me see the beauty of God’s love, and as a poet has kept me going. You both have a gift that is truly incomparable and unique and inspiring. Please don’t retire all the way lol🥹 Love you both!🤍
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever watched on your channel. I laughed, cried was inspired. Didnt want it to end. I love how your stories are woven together with the thread of Gods grace, beauty and glory. I feel so priveleged to have stumbled on your channel and you make me love God more because I see He is as real to you as He is to me.
THIS!!!!
“I just saw my therapist, she talked about feelings. She said that I’m scared of it - I made a habit of crashing and acting like terrorists. I RATHER DIE BEFORE I CRY IN FRONT OF THE EYES OF VARIOUS 🥹…Everest still ain’t moved, maybe the mountain is me.”
(Mustard Seed-JHP, 2018)
That Everest moved that day when you cried in front of us in this episode! The growth, the grace is real! Thanks for the vulnerability! This is my favorite episode from y’all!
Can we please appreciate the fact that Preston is Jackie’s #1 fan🥹 he knows every word of her first poem 👏👏 God bless you both!!
Jackie and Preston are beautiful together as a couple, a miracle from God, oh how I love them, my heart is moved every time I listen to Jackie.
"boldness is rooted in love. If you love people, you will think about them more than you think about your comfort" PP
When the woman stood up when you were saying "You're beautiful" I LOST IT
This video is not safe for work or any public viewing. I’m crying because God’s faithfulness in the life of these two!!! ❤️ this officially my favorites episode!
“… people, they feel low, they want love, and they go where the love feels safe.” 🎯
When I sayyyyy this episode has blessed me beyond measures!!! Wheeewww!!
As a woman who was snatched out of homosexuality in 2022, i watched this episode in awe of God’s grace and mercy. Thank you Jesus 👏🏾🙌🏾🎉
The fruits of his glory on the lives of his children has me expectant to be joined with my match made in HEAVEN!!!! This was so good. Glory be to God.
This has to be one of my top podcast episodes from the Perry’s! The protection and support from Preston over his Wife, & the vulnerability from Jackie is giving the warmest most satisfying holiday feeling lol man, I absolutely love y’all & I love y’all for each other! 😩🙌🏽🍂
Thank you guys!! This was awesome❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ appreciate the vulnerability!!
Jackie and Preston,
I'm not sure if you will ever see this. I need you to know the depth of blessing you bring to the world, to me.
The encouragement and truth are so powerful. Thank you for walking in obedience, grace, and truth ❤
"People dont do what they do just because they are wicked and rebelliou, its just that people feel low of themselves and they need love and so they go where they feel the love and are safe"
No joke right before Jackie started crying I was already crying and I was thinking how is Jackie not crying watching this… beautiful… Glory to God who saves us from the dark man. He turns the darkest stories into the brightest… man.. love y’all
I see what you’re doing for others Lord 😭😭😭😭. This episode was so beautiful, start to finish!!
#1. I was listening to this on Spotify and had to come here to watch because too many beautiful moments were happening that I couldn’t see. #2. God is not done writing poetry through you both, and I’m excited to see what that looks like in the future.
Lol I had to come watch after listening too. Enjoyed it soo much both times 😊
She’s getting so bashful. I love it 🥰!
Jackie. Preston is your Gracious spiritual vindication. He is literally graced to love you😘 🎁
This was so beautiful to watch
I didn't know Jackie rapped also. Was listening to Beleaf in Fatherhood's music and she had a fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 verse.
yeah she gotta a rap album or two
This episode was definitely one of my favorites. I love how the Lord always gets the glory out of both of you.
man those poems gave me chills! i love everything about this.
I started serving God in 2009 and my sisters in Christ and I would watch your poetry all the time, this episode brings back so many GREAT memories. It's beautiful to see where the Lord has brought both of you and how much of a blessing you've been to the Body of Christ.
Imagine growing up and seeing this video of your parents love and bond from the very beginning. This will be such a blessing for them to see and experience.
When I tell y’all I was soooooo excited to watch this episode just off the podcast…Like yes Jackie, I am one of your fans that listens to the podcast and watches it on CZcams…But this episode just really hit different. I loved being taken through y’all journey both together and individually and I’m thankful for how much you guys allow us to be apart of your lives. Yes, you guys are influential Big Brother Preston you inspire and help me to evangelize even tho I’m not ready to go toe to toe with a JW and Big Sis Jackie you inspire me to dig deeper in the word and to know my bible front and back! You guys are amazing to me and I can’t thank y’all enough for allowing God to use y’all and develop such a fruitful ministry. As we move from Glory to greater Glory!
😇🫶🏾
This is such a trip down memorylane, P4CM had me writing and reciting looooong poems myself, I appreciate y'all so much.. It's good to hear the minds behind the mic in direct relation to these poems. My second year Drawing and Illustration lecturer called me to his office once and after hearing me speak about God, he wrote down some P4CM links for me to check out. I never looked back, that movement boosted my memorisation, writing and visualisation game.
Same!! P4CM had me in a CHOKEHOLD! lol It's so crazy to see how far everyone has come from those P4CM days.
I’m with Jackie on the clean neck thing. It is noticeable and important Lmbo 😂
"this is the gospel'" LITERALLY!! WOW! This truly blessed me
🙌 once a poet always a poet! Love you guys and the way the Holy Spirit has used you!
Such an amazing video. Thanks for sharing your time and lives with us. The vulnerability and transparency is a breath of fresh air! God bless you and your family and the ministries you'll carry! ❤❤❤
I love Jackie’s childlike smile when singing the intro song…keep it going;)
If you are a male and God has called you to marry a woman with past truma, please know that it is a true calling from God that he has given your grace for even when it becomes hard. Stay faithful to that walk, and the favorite of the Lord will be so great on you. Just like Preston, my husband was called to a woman who shut him out due to past trauma, but I thank God that he called the right man to me and now life is good with him a God.
Ladies, if you think that no man could love you because of your past, I'm here to tell you that you are wrong. God's grace is sufficient 🙏 and he will raise up the man of God that is called to you. Be blessed, yall. This podcast blessed me today.
This was REALLY good. My daughter walked in the room and asked, “Are you crying?’” I think I was at the point when Preston was proposing to Jackie. What a full-circle moment. The two of you are truly living epistle read of man. Thank you for sharing yourselves.
Jackie’s poem “My life as a stud” was how I was introduced to her. I have been following her since. It is amazing to see her growth.
You both are truly a gift to your generation. Thank you for your transparency.
I first saw her perform this poem on P4CM. This is where I became a fan of The Perry's. The poem was one thing, but their commentary on it is so much more!
I love when Preston compliments Jackie. 😂🥰
Every time I had a thought, Jackie spoke it. Lol. Seriously. Jackie, the work of the Holy Spirit has always been in you. I love this episode. I needed this episode. I remember the Ex-Stud poem, but didn't become a "fan" until The Fall. And, man, your ministry has blessed me since.
When I tell you how much I love the Perrys, it’s no joke. Watching the Holy Spirit move through the two of y’all individually and through y’all marriage has honestly been one of the biggest blessings in the Christian faith. I be loving God more because of y’all, it don’t get no better than that 😂. Love y’all ❤️❤️
I had to take so many breaks to catch my chills, these poems have so much depth. My heart can literally feel it. Thank you both for sharing! ❤ God bless your family
A marriage made in heaven ❤; fulfilling purpose and impacting lives. I love the friendship and love I see in you both.
Great poets I also loved when you'll did The Fall together ❤
I praise GOD for you two. I pray for his continued covering over your union and children. Jackie, I have two sisters who choose to live the life you use to live and listening to you helps me to love on them and not judge them. Ironically, one’s name is Jackie. I do know the root cause is sin. We ALL struggle with sin. It manifest in different ways. I trust ALMIGHTY GOD! He is truly GOOD! GOD BLESS Y’all. 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
P4CM🔥🔥...this was how I got introduced to Jackie, Preston, Janetikzz & Ezekiel years back. Loved loved loved em❤, still do.
The way I cried watching you two, watching yourselves do poetry and giving feedback/explaining. Very beautiful and blessed couple
oh my - I’m on Day 44 of your devotioal book and its about remembering. And you posted this 😭😭😭 God continue to bless the Perry’s and always protect them from any spiritual and physical harm. Be with them always always always and forever! 🙌🙌🙌
Oh my goodness, y'all are the cutest! What a beautiful thing to be able to see where your love began, and just how God-focused you were and are. Thank you for sharing that.
In tears when he started talking about the accents 😂😂
May God continue to bless and protect y’all union. This was so beautiful in so many ways.
I wish yall missed writing poems! or that God will get yall to write more lol. This whole video was golden. Rewatching those 3 videos with your commentary was so good! The love, articulation, metaphors, ALL THE THINGS... Golden!
“Boldness is about love. If you love people you will think about them more than you think about your comfort” Mannn that’s good!
The transparency… this poem… these words. 😮💨🥹
Poetry is the only way as a child I could articulate my emotions. This realness….., yes a bit much for our children, but so necessary.
These words just spoke to the youth in me that my adult self has previously ran from. Just spoke to the teen I’ve fought to go back and save. The depth of these words is powerful. Thank you for sharing. . Look forward to hearing more. 🤍
This was sooooo good!! The podcast episode we didn't even know we needed!
😂😅Jackie asking Preston to put Vaseline on her feet is the most random thing
I was there in the room when Preston proposed!!! It was such a sweet moment ❤️❤️❤️
God is so good to us.
I appreciate the vulnerability and expressiveness of this podcast. It reminds me of why I started following you both in the beginning. You’re ministry paints Christianity in away that’s normal. Every conversation,every stage in your journey, is used in such a beautiful way that is comforting and encouraging. Even now, it’s evident that his glory can easily shines through imperfections or areas where still working through. Thanks for sharing.
Love is when your partner recites your piece.
So wild to watch this... it's so full circle because I was very much watching all of this back these poems from that ministry all the time! I love seeing how God has written their story (individually and as a couple). It's amazing!
Look at Jackie BLUSH-ING!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Woooooooooooooooow! What a great GOD we serve. And what great talent HE redeems and anoints🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Boldness is rooted in love! So good!
WOW, Jackie and Preston what can I say this was one of the best podcasts that have ever seen. I’ve been watching use for a couple of months now and that pome that Jackie did came up on my feed but I didn’t watch it and I’m so glad I didn’t. Keep doing what you’re doing we need you in the body of Christ. I thought I knew God but have come to realize that I don’t I’ve just been doing the thing and this has all came about since I got married. I pray that we all allow the Holy Spirit to move in and through us make the word of God come alive in us like a flame 🔥 that never burns out. Amen 🩸❤️
Not Jackie starting with necks! 😂 Listened to this episode first on Spotify, been waiting for the video. Loved the vulnerability, and I just appreciate God's faithfulness over your lives.
Just so you guys know, when I first learned about spoken word poetry, you both were one of my first contacts, and I just fell in love with it. And that your poem brought someone to Christ, Jackie, is a big encouragement for me as a spoken word poet. God bless you fam. ❤
“This is not my story but soooooso….real…! “I’m literally in tears..to see the Holy Spirit in full operation in you, on you and through you..! ❤❤❤it..! Thank you LORD….and Thank you Jackie for your vulnerability and transparency..! “Blessings Always”…! “To you both”…! “You guys ROCK”…! ❤✌🏽
God gave me a burden for the lost because He knew I was lost. God will only pull you out of this lifestyle when He knows you're willing to lay it all down and go back in to reach others. I was a stud for 18 years, God reached down and pulled me up in 2018. Jackie, thanks again for your vulnerability. I can feel this entire message.
Psalm 31: Never let me be put to shame, delievered me in your righteousness
Listen!!!! Every time I feel down I can come right to their podcast and God reminds me again of why he saved me. The walk with Christ is not easy but the love for him to grab us of sin is worth going through!!! Thank you Jesus for saving me!!!
I love Jackie she’s so intellectual and brilliant in her own way which God has blessed her. But her husband is also equally as intelligent and brilliant. I listen to all their stuff and I continuously pray for authenticity with them. They’ve been together for so long, and I really want ideal. especially Jackie coming out a lesbianism. I could truly relate to this. Intellectual connection is everything. And I pray for this and it’s authenticity. God bless.❤
Watching you two always reminds me that God is the author of love and he surely makes all things beautiful ❤
This was wayyyyy too beautiful to watch 🥰
JH-P you are soooooo funny the look on Preston face when you came out with "im so grateful you have a clean neck"😂😂😂😂 he went what??? With the look😂😂😂 i hv to rewind...❤❤❤
My God, every last second of this podcast was amazingly deep and so relevant! I give God the glory for y'all, both separately and together. I'm so glad to do eternity with y'all. Gosh, I thank God for bringing me to this. It spoke so deeply to me in so many ways. Thank You, Dad. ❤
Phew! I LOVED this episode! I attended some Poets In Autumn events but I never knew your stories. I am grateful for your YES. It’s incredible how just one act of obedience (writing a poem & performing) can change lives for eternity.
