I am in my 70's and the Lord led me to Zach's music. Everyone's is different, but no matter what the specifics are, when we find Jesus, we find hope. Zach's songs all have hope.
When I was in my early 20’s I use to wonder how come Christian’s are so happy all the time? I soon learned that isn’t true at all. Christians go the dark times too but we do have hope which is Jesus Christ our light of the world! Thank you for your testimony. 😮
Some Christians are happy all the time...
Amen..☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹

The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy.
The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below.
That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal.
GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
It's not happiness it's the Joy of the Lord 🙏
I was supposed to hear this today. Thank God for His intervention in my life ❤
God bless you brother Micheal, today and always....Jesus loves you and so do I, love always your sister in Christ
I've been in prison,the world of drugs and alcohol and nothing satisfied me like a relationship with Jesus Christ..I have found my true identity. It was something I looked for for years.And now I have found it..Zack's music is a true inspiration.
I know i failed my lard and savior when I was a young man I thought I knew all the answers but I really didn't know anything thing about the way I was to live for him when I was really living for myself and my family i put them and me frist now at and in my old age of 74 i know that if you want your recipe for your living to turn out right then you need to put jesus your lard and savior in it frist Amen and Amen
Praise God❤️
That's so wonderful praise Jesus.

Zach is a tool that God has ordained for His use. I play his songs in my car on long journeys and my kids love it. God bless your ministry and thank you for sharing your story.
At 17 min he says he could have been in prison before he knew God. I'm realizing that I could have been, too. I drunk drove. I transported things over borders I had no business doing. I didn't get caught by the authorities; I got caught by God, the ultimate authority. I am so humbled and grateful! This realization takes away judgement I've had for people who commit crimes.
Thank you for sharing this. I got into prison ministry a couple years ago but have been going INTO prisons and working with people behind bars for 5 months now. A lot of people only look at what a person has done, the mistakes made, rather than the actual person. We are all human, we all make mistakes and we are all loved by God and worthy of His redemption
@@HelloMyNameIs___________ don't make light of GOD DOES HATE EVILDOERS. many people fail to mention that. None of us are perfect and GOD is a forgiving GOD. PRAY for salvation, redemption and deliverance for all.
New life in Christ!
We are all slaves to sin until we gain the freedom through our LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS AMAZING GRACE evidenced in the following prayer using caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
God works in mysterious ways and when you got your attention,you are hooked to Him like no other.God bless you
And to sing with Dolly Parton, blessed, we are blessed
At my job where I issue a state license people have to bring in their crime reports. When they have a clean report I sometimes jokingly say, "So, you didn't get caught huh?" and they usually reply after a laugh, "No, I didn't" - ha! Any of us could have landed in jail I'm sure. As a Spanish interpreter I have had assignments in prisons and I realize that they are just people who need Jesus like everyone else. God bless you Zach! You are using your talents well.
My wife and I just saw Zach in concert in WV, it was excellent. He has a great and inspiring testimony. Thanks be to God for the work he is doing through Zach.
Solid believer. Bless him & his family.
I got to attend a FREE concert of Zach Williams this past August at the Erie County Fair. He shared his testimony and the concert was amazing. I am sure everyone felt the anointing of God..
very good very good. I too wasn't searching for God when he came after me in 2020. I was a train wreck. it's amazing what Jesus can do,
When my son was in prison the videos were out with Zach in prison and it was such a healing process watching that and emotionally and spiritually being a part of it . Thank you so much for listening to your wife on that !!!! God bless yall!
I feel such a Holy Spirit presence, every time I watch the inmates cry out for Jesus!
It sounds like your son was released.I will pray for his ongoing life.I pray he will be transformed by Christ!
Love this testimony. It gives us hope in the crazy time. To God be the glory.
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹.. how are you doing today and your weather condition like?
When he says he gets its wrong more than he gets it right. WOW. SPOKE TO ME
My husband went to his concert this year and was going in October. He was killed on his motorcycle the 3rd of September. I'm so glad he got to go the one time and buy a shirt. He listen to his music all the time. He never got a chance to wear his shirt 😢 God bless you both 🙏
I'm sorry for you loss! Prayers for you .
God be with through your devastation. Praying…
Dear Spring God bless you with His peace and hold you in His loving arms❤
God uses the least to do the most and he absolutely wants to provide an abundance for those who want to do his work happily and humble and it’s truly fun to see it happen
Let’s all vow to be raw and real so God can shine His light to everyone NO MATTER WHAT!!! Thank you Kirk and Zach HALLELUJAH 🙏🤗❤️
My son miraculously gor out of prison early and Jesus was in it ALL!!! Praise God!!
Hallelujah! Praising the Lord for answering your prayer! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Simply, WOW! Oh dear Lord, thank you for this gentleman, Mr. Zach. Blessings to you both. ~ Doc Phil
Keep spreading the word. The world needs to hear these messages. ❤️
There was JESUS awesome song it reminds me of footprints the poem of which is everywhere in my home !
Oh, I hadn't thought of that, but it's so true. I have an old cross stitch of Footprints, I'll think about that song now when I see it.
Less like me
That’s the song that introduced me to Zach - it literally changed my life! I went back to church and to my surprise- my husband came with me ❤. We both cried that day- knowing we found what had been missing! We have a beautiful church family now and have been baptized recently! I thank Zack and I praise Jesus for my new found life of Christ
I love hearing people's testimonies! This was awesome!! Thank you so much!!!
What a beautiful testimony ❤…God continue to protect you and bless you !!
Zach, my husband and I got to shake your hand after a concert in Billings MT last year and we were very touched by your testimony. Thank you for your willingness to share the gospel thru your music.
I love how humble and honest he is. That comes through in his songs and videos, too, especially the ones from the prison, but the bus one, also. I think that's what attracts us fans.
I thank God for such humility that Zach has. also, for the song Heart of God 🙏
I discovered his music very recently and it has really given me more hope and prayer than I ever have.
I went to the church Zach spoke of here. We normally went to the main service, but one week we went to the "Refuge" service, to check it out. He lead worship there that day, and this service was really focused on folks with drug and alcohol and prison backgrounds. He really really ministered to these folks, but it also ministered to me, a simple woman who had been in church my whole life. What a blessing to witness all the folks with radically changed lives! He's the real deal, and I love his music.
The interview with Zach Williams was a blessing to me.
Keep doing what God needs you and yours to do. You are awesome.
Love everything about the Zach Williams interview. The tone of his voice in addition to his words calm my soul. He brings meaning to my life. Thank you both for sharing HIS word with me.
Please PRAY for Kandi she is in hospit, they believe she has had several mini strokes and unsure of her heart. We can't see her or speak to her till sometime tomorrow when she has her own room. She is still in ER has been there since 10:30 am on Friday... I just found out....PLEASE PLEASE PRAY FOR HER🙏🏽🙏🙏🏾🙏🏿💞 I believe Gods will, will be done and she will be okay. I love you and Thank You for your prayers for my wonderful sister... Even if she can be honary🌷 God Bless you ...Goodnight....
What is the update on your sister Kandi?
My daughter n law Ronni introduced me to Zach Williams in her early years of a relationship with my son, now married ...Zach waa so easy to listen to and saw his concert and he's so relatable. Love what Zach shares here. Incredibly humbly grateful for what God did with him and with his wife's prison ministry where it all started. Blessings 🙌 Zach we love u here in AR.
Amazing story Praise God HALLELUJAH. ✝ ✝ ✝
what a wonderful young man
Zach’s music is so powerful. “There Was Jesus” is my favorite. I can’t wait for his next album.
I'm very inspired and impacted by Zach's ministry mainly because of how humbly he serves those who were deemed as rejects. Chain Breaker and Rescue Story are my favorites to date because I can relate... and now heart of God is doing the same for me because I know this same Jesus He's singing about and oh what an Awesome God he is. God Bless you Zach!!😁
So many great songs and messages from ZW. He puts on an incredible concert as well. If you’ve not seen him live, find a show, and go!
Thanks for a great video!
Myself and my wife saw him in concert last summer in Tucson AZ, along with two other bands, great time and a real moving performance, since then we haven't looked back, we love his material and will always listen to him....God bless you all...
Tony Parrish..... Cochise County AZ
Thank you so much for this interview! I’ve been a huge fan of “Chain Breaker” for years-it has always really impacted me! And all of his music! I Adore “Heart of God!” This is actually the first time I’ve heard Zack’s story! When Zack sang “Go Tell It On The Mountain” on the 2020 Christmas Special for The Chosen TV Series, I enjoyed his rendition so much, that I started sharing his music style even more with everyone! Also, I really enjoy all of your interviews, Kirk, and enjoy sharing them with others! I’m so grateful!
Love Zach . Thank you for having him on your show. Wonderful testimony. ✝️❤️
Love the sense of authenticity in Zach's voice...such a real testimony and such a real Christian artist!
Thank you Zack for “ The Heart of God”. ✝️❤️
Amen to that. In the Heart of God inspired me to turn my life to Christ a few weeks ago. This is the first time I have peace in my life.
Nothing can Drown a Man Who Walks on Water❤️🇺🇸🙏
Amen!
Thank God Zach you found your way so that you could share your gifts. I am blessed by God to hear you speak and sing about your testimony. Pure blessings filled with God's truth and love in your works! Thank you, Zach. I saw you in Canyon Country, Ca, for the dinner b4 the concert at the church and you had a cold. You sounded so great! FyI - I am still able to sponcer a beautiful girl from Togo that I signed up from your concert thru Compassion International. Thank you, Zach Williams - you have deeply touched my life and many others in my circle. Please also thank your parents, wife, friends/mentors, and children for loving you along the way!! God bless you and yours, Zach and the awesome band!! I hope to see you someday soon!
All I can say is wow. Really enjoy this interview guys. I was in some type of drug addiction for 20 plus years but Jesus Christ was always with me as I've looked back over the last 16 plus with Him in control. What an awesome God we serve. Thanks again
The video “To the Table” has always been touching to me as he plays and shares at a prison. Loved hearing more of his story, how he got started & how he ended up singing with Dolly. Thanks!
The lord wake me up in the middle of the night and says here a song then I say thank you Jesus christ and God are father and now I say to everyone I meet its time to walk in repentance for heaven is at hand amen have a blessed week amen
Thanks Kirk, Love the Show. Zach thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for being obedient to the Lord. Your music really touches my spirit and I know that is only because the Holy Spirit flows through it. God bless you and your Family in Jesus name Amen.
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹... how are you doing today and your weather condition like?
Thanks for your honesty.
To Kirk and Zach-thanks for your conversation. I’m living the experience of God’s presence in my life from the beginning!
I'm Always filled with the Holy Spirit when I listen to your precious songs 🎵💓 I thank God for you 🙌 may God bless you and your family!!! 🙌 👑 🙏🎸
Wonderful Interview Camron!
I absolutely Love Zach and his Awesome Songs! What a REAL Man of God! Thank you🙏❤️✝️
I love ❤ the way he humbles himself I his music. He really inspires me to just sing along with him for joy and worship our Lord
God bless Zack and just keep 🙏 praising our precious Lord in song
I loved hearing his story. Mr Cameron did a great job interviewing him. Such a wonderful testimony💕. May all glory be to God!
This is awesome. God bless both of you men for following His lead!
Kurt thanks for the video. I so appreciate you both.
1981 had my own rock band called Southern Sage in Washington DC.
Until one night In Annapolis Maryland....there I was in the darkness, calling out from the pit of my despair,
There you were in the shadows calling out my name you met me there. Now where would I be without you, where would I be Jesus!
You were the voice in the dessert of my soul calling me out in the dead of night
That's exactly how it happened. On the exact spot We're Kunta Kinte was made a slave of men, 200 years previous, I was set free and became a slave to Christ. April 4th 1981 thank you Jesus!
Later that yearly cuty hall actually erected a monument to Kunt Kinte on the very spot.
Started going to a Church where immediately they wanted to make me their youth leader.
I was so poor and character that I backed out ..instead joined a college group called New Life students at U of MD. It was there I was discipled by brother's my age and younger that had been saved 6 months longer than me. We moved right households in that little Fellowship.
It Grew From 30 to 180 in 6 months.
Because I had useful new believer seal, and could sing and play Sweet Home Alabama, They had me leading the worship and I was a terrible manager and baby christian, not aware of anybody around me but me as much.
Was invited to join a team of 17 people 27- 18 they were sending to Towson State University to start a Campus Church there again and, God began to use people in my life to help me grow up. Continued to lead worship with a good group of guys, working full time for the railroad moving guys into our house discipling loving caring for them.
40 years later having moved seven times for The Kingdom, your music really resonates.
I think I've memorized and play your music with others too many times to count. And the songs are those that are from the heart and reach the heart.
Last year at 64 years of age I went to a public park pavilion while my wife was out to eat my sandwich and chips and I brought my Martin with me. I began to play in the echoing Pavilion you are my rescue story to some teenagers who said can you play that thing?
They were all Stray Cats, living in a different households every week not even out of high school yet. What happened to our society? So anyway, I invited them to the house and made them (6) dinner and we sat and talked about faith in Christ for the next 3 hours.
I believe their lives were changed forever because of the influence of Christ in my life and the song that I was able to boldly punch out at a moment when I least expected it. "You are my rescue story"
thank you Jesus.
Thanks again Kirk and Zach for your influence..
It is encouraged my soul and others as well as challenged me to present in the public and sing to others and explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I love his song "Rescue Story" , it was the first song I remember hearing from Zach Williams, it made me take notice to this guy here, I like his music. Rescue Story is still one of my favs, then comes "There was Jesus". Love me some Zach Williams music!!
thank you for inspiring this old man with you're testimony 🙌 you've only got a decade on me 🤣
Wow Ben! God is so good! There are no coincidences in His kingdom! He drew you to Himself,and you followed His leading.I got Holy Spirit bumps when you shared how you were set free in Christ on the spot where Kunta Kinte had been imprisoned.I watched Roots as a 9 year old child,and it made a huge impact on me.I think that's why I will not tolerate racism of any kind,and why I raised all my children to treat others as the precious children of God that they are.From darkness to light,what a testimony!
Thank you so much for your story I have listened to your music for 3 years your music always ministers to my spirit you've been a big part of my life with your music. My son passed away in May 2020 at 31 years old & your music stepped in & ministered to me at that time in my life. I am grateful that God put you in my life though we have never met. I appreciate you listening to what God would have you to do & sing. God Bless you & your ministry I know that it will only get better because we have Jesus.
I am incredibly sorry to hear of your son's passing.The death of a child is the most difficult,and we would trade places with them if we could.How can I be praying for you?
@@maryannturton9830 Thank you for the kind words. My husband & I are brokenhearted. He is very depressed. I go thru the motions day to day. I would ask you pray for healing. God Bless you.
I’ve listened to Zack Williams for years!! This is the first time I listen to an interview of his and you can tell the humility in his Demeanor and voice. I have my own story with alcohol addiction and overcoming it plus now doing Gods work by guiding others who struggle. The very first song that I played over and over again from his was Fear is a liar! From someone who struggled with severe panic disorder and health anxiety, that song pushed me through! I thank the both of you for all that you do and giving God the glory!! Sincerely, Amber Siegel
God bless your ministry and the Lord's blessings on this fella and his family. Such a great message to hear
Zack Williams is an inspiration for everyone! Love the music!
I love this interview. We enjoy Zach Williams songs. Thank you for sharing your story and Trusting God.
One of the BEST testimonies Ive ever heard!! A lot of parallels to what Ive been through. Thank you Lord for having Zack share this.
Raised as a preachers kid I find your music such a blessing. We need real authentic Christian Music.
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹... how are you doing today and your weather condition like?
Yes authentic not fake
Was in prison and went to church on night and they sung this song and I teared up man it was a awesome energy
Thank you for your testimony. Chain Breaker is one of my favorite songs you've done, thank you. Chain Breaker was/is one of my ex-husbands songs. Him going to jail tore our marriage apart. He led a Bible study while he was there. I believe he will return to christ & pray for him. Keep the songs coming, I love them. Thank you
Actions not words. "The greatest single cause of atheism today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, but then deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving World simply finds unbelievable." Walk it. Live it. Be it. Use as few words as possible....
If you walk with JESUS the walk is of the world, if you choose to walk without Jesus you're in the world.
You're right about action, GOD gives everyone choice's to stay of the world is always positive being in the world is always negative. GOD'S BLESSINGS UPON YOU
"But what if I stumble? What if I fall? What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all? Will the love continue when the walk becomes a fall? What if I stumble? What if I fall?"
Love Zach and Kirk! Watching Kirk Cameron and his sister growing up was awesome. Love to see the man you’ve become and also Zach.
I can’t imagine doing the calling God has on my life. I write but I can’t sing or play an instrument. I’ve been having meltdown after meltdown this past year about doing videos for it. I know it’s all about God but I’m so stressed about delivering my writings relatable and not being too geeky. I’m not a video type person and I’m not bold.
Zach’s song, “Heaven Help Me” makes me cry. I know God will help me if I let Him
Please pray that God gives me strength and boldness. Thanks so much ❤
Zach!! great day of the year to submit to follow Jesus. I was born on June 10.... Amen. FYI.... well be sharing the joy of Jesus with you in OKC on Nov 19, 2022. Love you brother! Keep you eyes on Him!
Thank you for having a strong unwavering stance on God and Jesus and not compromising. Kirk and Zach.
Thank you for your Honest Bravery and Courage May the grace of GOD bless you and your loved ones every day 🕊
Revelation 12:11
They conquered him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
for they did not love their lives
in the face of death.
I love you guys. Great stuff. Press on Kirk and Zach!!!
Beautiful testimony! ❤️
I was supposed to graduate with Zach. When he got in trouble. I know what he went thru. I am so proud of what he has become. Love ya Zach.
Amen brother
Thank you for being you....
I saw your concert in Durham, N.C.( Kings International) last year,2021 with We The Kingdom and Cain. Great worship service!
Thank you Kirk and Zach
To God be the glory great things He has done
Blessings
There aint nothing hard about it you pick up a bible and you read it and you live by it. Its our guid post it outlines what we need to be doing. The difficulty comes when you compromise it. If you can wrap your head around it and live by it he will give you more love than you ever thought possible and as you walk with him he gives you no fear and a heart of a lion and the Discernment is off the charts
Less like me is daily. Thank you Zach Williams
Seriously. .made me cry
Praise God
What a wonderful testimony, and what a blessing he has been, I'm a big fan of his music and he's inspired me to use my talents for our Lord! God bless , I'm also inspired by you too Kirk keep up the good work !
Hi Kirk, this was the first time I saw your show. Zach Williams' story is great! I first listened to him sing on KSGN Radio of which I've pretty much become a part of communicating with some of the staff. Thankful for God moving in people's lives and bringing them to Jesus. I am part of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and listened to our Wednesday night service tonight on this platform because I wasn't able to attend. When it ended your program came on. God's plan! God bless you as He uses you to reach hearts for Jesus. It's all about Jesus. Only Jesus! (Like the song by Casting Crowns!😄)☝️
Yes,God is in the details!
Zak Williams thank you for speaking g about your struggle as being a christian. I have been a born again 3yrs ago now & I have attacks from Satan & his demons alot. I pray & read the word of truth ( bible) every day. I have listened to preachers n they saying it's easier to be a christian than an atheist/ pagan. But I think differently on that. I have lost all my friends I had, but one friend came back n said he misses me & if I wanna be a christian that's ok with him. So we are best friends again. I can't look back even though sometimes I feel it would be easier to go back to my old ways. I think of Christ & what he did for me/ us all on the cross, so I put my armor of God on & soldier on. Thank you that was encouraging for me. Go bless you & look forward to your new song 🎵 🙏
It's amazing how the blood of Jesus washes us so we are Ivory soap clean as you can see in the eyes of Zach, you can see the light in the eyes of true believers like Zach, the salt of the world, the blood of JESUS makes us clean, HALLELUJAH!
Sabbath ✨ Greetings from Jacksonville Florida 🐬
Thank You 🙏 4/ Sharing 💕
God 👑 turns So Much Pain into Purpose 🌈 HalleluYAH 🙌
You go Zach!
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹.. how are you doing today and your weather condition like?
Zach about a year ago I added you to my list of people that I want to see in concert every year if they come to northern California! I have matthew west, casting crowns, for king and country, and now YOU! Hope to see you soon and I enjoyed the interview. I remember you getting the award for young artist of the year!
It is so good to hear your llife and family. I listen to your music and story. Everyday & most days it is all day long. Please don't ever stop.
Living for God is a WHOLE LOT EASIER than living for self! Yes, we have problems, but we also, foremost, have GOD, THE ALMIGHTY SOVEREIGN, LOVING KING OF THE UNIVERSE to help us breath every breath, walk every step, make every choice! Try doing all of that without Him! Oh yeah, we have and we failed miserably which is why we came to Him. My WORST day with God is “to infinity and beyond” better than my BEST day without Him, simply because I am not alone, I have HIM! PRAISE HIS NAME FOREVER!🙏✝️🕊️👏🙋♀️❤️‼️
Amen ❤️💜
There was Jesus is awesome song and is so true to my life because I've have so many health problems and 5 years ago I was almost a gonner and had to start my life over from walking, eating, to even lost my memory. I have so many down days. But I know there was Jesus right by my side. He never left me
Omg I loved his music they hit home. especially CHAIN BREAKER AND TURN IT OVER.
Hi Zach and Kirk!! Thank you, both, for showing us "AMAZING"!
Zach Williams is such a humble person God is love
Keep sharing Jesus!
I love your shows it’s so refreshing to have a good Christian Contant to watch 😊
Thank you Kirk and Zach. I walked away from music a few years ago because of dark place I had gone. But, I'm singing again. PTL =)
I really relate to this topic and it was Big Daddy Weave the song redeemed put me on my journey to live a Christian life and You also have done that.Your music touches so many lives.Thank you
Guys .. Guys ... all I can humbly say is thank you /// from the heart... because I listen to you FROM the heart. Please pray for me.. I am an acholic/ I have and will never reject my SAVOIR Lord Jesus.... I just cant stop drinking ... I am so ... I don't have words. My wife prays for me all the time. LOVE all of you my Brothers and Sisters. Lack and Kirk. Jesus Bless you /
Fantastic interview with my favorite artist... not only my favorite "Christian artist", but my favorite artist "period" :) I just love that the coolest guy on the block, is also a strong Christian, and a lover of God :) Having a very OCD type of personality, not surprisingly, I've done very well, at the handful of things in my life, I decided to get into. Which is why it's fantastic that Zach wrote "Less Like Me" just for me ;) lol (well, besides being slapped back into my place 7 years ago) Anyway, I just LOVE all of Zach's music, and his recordings sound fantastic on a powerful sound system ! Kirk, yes ! I too have played "There was Jesus" over and over.... and often think about how Jesus saved me from a drug induced heart attack, with no medical attention 35 years ago... AND cured me of addiction all in one single instant ! Finally, I'm loving "Heart of God" ! Thank you SO much Zach Williams for all of the amazing music you create, with God working directly through you :)
Love There Was Jesus. Absolutely being more like Jesus.
