Don’t worry. Really? If I don’t concern myself with my basic needs, who will? www.toughquestionsforgod.org

Candace Cameron Bure has opened up about what still makes her nervous. During an episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast”, the actress, writer and director shared what specific activity in her career gives her butterflies. Watch the short clip to hear what causes Candace a slight, momentary pause.

Nerves and anxiety are very real and are things many people struggle with. For those who do battle with anxiety, a whole host of circumstances and situations can trigger those feelings. The nervousness and anxious feelings can even get so bad that it becomes crippling and debilitating, robbing individuals of the ability to function normally.

One thing that terrifies many people and causes them horrible anxiety and nervousness is public speaking. For the most part, the fear of speaking in public stems from the idea that we’ll say something wrong or make ourselves look silly with all those eyeballs on us. That’s enough to make most people panic, including Candace.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace mentioned that she still gets nervous while speaking in public. However, she did make an important distinction about what kind and in what venue that causes her to feel butterflies in the stomach.

“If it’s an interview on live television, I’m not as nervous,” she said. “If it’s a performance on television, you know, any live performance, then, yes, I get more nervous.”

Later in the clip, Candace clarified exactly what she meant by “live performance.”

“Exactly, like hosting something, where it’s a performance,” she said. “I have a script. I might be reading off a teleprompter, then I’m a little bit more nervous. But it’s usually like nerves right at the beginning, and then once I’m 30 seconds into it, I’m like, ‘I got this. I know how to do this.’”

Even someone who has been acting and speaking in public for decades still gets nervous and anxious about talking in front of others.

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

A wide and diverse collection of plants in a garden became the perfect example, as this mother imparted a powerful and profound life lesson to her son. She used the plants the young man could see and teach to share something we would all do better to remember. Watch the short but insightful clip to listen to the lesson the mother taught her son.

The things we consume daily will ultimately determine who we are as a person. I don’t necessarily mean food, although that could also apply because, as the old saying goes, we are what we eat. No, I’m specifically talking about our influences. The music we listen to, the shows we watch, the books we read and the people we are friends with will and do influence us a great deal.

The Bible mentions influence as well. It stresses the importance of influence and warns against hanging around less-than-stellar individuals because that’s who you will eventually become. Proverbs 13:20 states, “Go with wise men and be wise; but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.” That’s pretty clear, wouldn’t you say?

In a clip posted on social media, one mother uses vegetation to talk to her little one about influence. She makes the same point as the verse in Proverbs, warning her youngster to choose wisely when it comes to the people he allows to influence him.

“It’s very important for you to be mindful of who you’re around because you’re going to talk like them, you’re going to do the things they do, you’re going to think like them, you’re going to pick up their habits and behaviors,” she said.

Later in the clip, the mother asks her son to summarize what he’s learned and to tell her what he’s picked up from her lesson about the power of influence.

What a beautiful moment between mother and son as she teaches and shares wisdom with her child.

Watch how this mom corrects her son with patience and love. She could have easily been loud, cruel and harsh with the young man, but she took a different, loving and effective approach to correcting and redirecting the child. Check out the short but heartwarming video to see the loving way in which the woman taught her son a lesson.

Children are a joy and an absolute blessing from the good Lord above. No suitable and fit parent would ever say or think otherwise. Those little ones bring with them and add much happiness to every household, enhancing everyone’s life in innumerable ways. Everything in life is made significantly by the presence of children.

While everyone can agree that being a parent is a blessing and an unmitigated privilege, children don’t arrive knowing and understanding everything. That’s why an essential part of parenting is teaching, correcting and redirecting children when they run afoul and do something wrong. Of course, there are several ways to accomplish this task, some more loving and effective than others.

A clip posted on social media captures a mother correcting her child’s errant behavior. The little guy was recently in an artistic mood because he has been coloring on the walls, something nearly every child does at one time or another. This is, of course, unacceptable behavior and must be corrected. But the mother in the video does not scream and yell at the young man, loudly informing him of his mistake.

Instead, Mom takes a different approach. She makes it clear that what he did was not right and that he can no longer continue doing his artwork on the wall. She mentions alternative places where he can be creative and even has him clean the walls.

The mother in the video does all of this without ever raising her voice, but she does and says everything in a kind and gentle manner. This approach will be much more effective than if she had taken another route. He will likely not color on the walls in the future because he doesn’t want to disappoint instead of fearing her, her wrath and whatever punishment she may give him.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

Do you feel like life is moving too fast—filled with constant demands, noise, stress, and never-ending to-do lists? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or spiritually depleted in a world that never seems to pause. This video is a peaceful reminder that no matter how chaotic life feels, God's presence offers a stillness that surpasses all understanding. His peace is not dependent on your circumstances—it’s found in His presence. Take a moment to step away from the whirlwind and enter a space of prayer and calm reflection. Let God slow your heart even if your world won’t slow down.

Are you waiting on God to move in your life—waiting for a breakthrough, for healing, for answers, or simply for peace? Waiting seasons can feel lonely, frustrating, and endless... but God is never inactive. In this quiet moment of prayer and reflection, be reminded that even in your delays, God is working. His timing is not only perfect—it’s personal. This prayer is designed to renew your trust, bring comfort to your spirit, and help you hold on to hope when the answers haven’t come yet. You are not forgotten. This video offers Scripture-filled encouragement to help you stay strong in faith as you wait on the Lord.

A spirit of power? Self-control? Love? Hmmm, how does this work …? www.toughquestionsforgod.org

This woman said she heard from God, and what He told her about worship will stir your soul. She shared the powerful and beautiful message the Lord gave her about worshipping Him. Watch the short but moving clip to hear what He revealed to her about worshipping Him for all eternity.

No one will live forever; death is something that all will experience because our bodies eventually will wear out and break down. So, knowing and understanding that our time on Earth is finite, it’s essential to be ready for eternity, whenever that should arrive.

Of course, there are two places, destinations when it comes to eternity: eternal life with Him in Heaven or complete separation and damnation in Hell. The Bible mentions that weeping and gnashing of teeth await those whose destination is Hell. But in Heaven, there will be constant praise and worship of God, our Lord and King.

However, how will we be able to praise the Lord constantly? Will we not eventually run out of words and phrases to say and songs to sing? That was the concern of one woman who said that the Lord revealed to her an important and powerful message of worshipping Him for eternity. In a video posted on YouTube, she mentioned that the Lord had answered her concern.

“There was one day when I was praying and I was worshipping God, and all of a sudden, I stopped, and I said, ‘God, I’m supposed to worship you for all eternity, and I’ve run out of words in five minutes, how am I going to worship you for eternity?’” she said.

That’s when she heard a still, small voice that reassured her and gave her an amazing, wonderful answer to her question.

“God said very clearly, ‘When you get to Heaven, I will share with you something about myself that you have never known before, and you will worship me,'" she added. “’And then, I will share something else, and you will worship. And I will never run out of new things to share with you for all eternity.’”

Psalm 145:3 “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.”

Police officers stepped in to finish a delivery after the driver was arrested. The kind, caring and considerate officers ensured a customer received her order after the driver was taken into custody mid-delivery. Watch the short but sweet clip to see the officers finish the delivery and the utter surprise on the woman’s face when she opens the door.

In today’s world, technology impacts and touches every aspect of our lives. It’s nearly impossible to do something which does not function better with or require a computer or an internet connection. Someone who struggles with adapting to or picking up the latest technological advances quickly will probably find it difficult to do much of anything today. The computer, the smartphone and the internet are here to stay, that’s for sure.

Our smartphones, essentially an extension of everyone’s hands at this point, allow us to do nearly everything instantly and effortlessly. With a few simple clicks and swipes, we can arrange a ride, post to Facebook or Instagram and even order food. A clip posted on YouTube shows that one woman’s food order was delivered by someone very unexpected: a member of law enforcement.

The officer arrives at the woman’s door with her pizza order in the clip. The look on her face says everything. She is astonished and completely taken aback by the officer’s appearance at her door.

The officer delivered her GrubHub order because the original delivery driver had been arrested following a traffic stop. The officer could have simply refused to do anything with the order, but that was not what he did at all. Instead, the officers showed kindness and consideration, knowing that someone was waiting for food that they had already purchased.

The officer went above and beyond the call of duty.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

A young hospital patient cried out to Jesus and his deceased father and shared a glimpse of heaven. With tears streaming down his face, and as he lay in a hospital bed, the young man had an encounter with the Savior of the world. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear the young man’s moving words and his unique description of both God and heaven.

The Bible contains many stories in which people have encounters and entire conversations with God. In many of those situations, the Creator of the world uses words to convey His message and point to people like Moses, Abraham, Noah and Adam and Eve. But of course, God is not limited to words when He wants to express Himself, as is also depicted in the Bible.

Many people today would agree that they have never seen the face of God, as several in the Bible did when they conversed with Him. However, one little boy may have just seen the face of God and gotten a look at heaven.

In the clip posted on YouTube, the child, Cason, is captured having a conversation with Jesus Christ and his deceased father as tears stream down his face. About a minute in the clip, the child stares at the ceiling and states, “Hi, Jesus,” as he begins conversing with Him.

“Jesus, when you coming back?” Cason asks. “We need you. I need you. I miss you, Jesus.”

Later in the clip, the weeping child also sees his father, mentioning how pretty his deceased father is and how he promises to be a better kid for his mother, who works so hard to provide for him and his siblings.

The child also describes God as “having fire eyes” and says heaven is beautiful, claiming it’s full of butterflies.

Romans 1:20 “For from the first making of the world, those things of God, which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:”

One hiker's frightening run-in with a wild animal was caught on camera. The woman was out getting some exercise and fresh air when a large creature came across her path, scaring her to death. Watch the short but jaw-dropping video to see the unbelievable moment.

Animals are, without a doubt, some of the best creatures on Earth. They are loving, loyal and dependable to a fault. They often become our best and closest friends, quickly becoming members of the family. Given how great these beings are, how can anyone not be an animal lover?

However, while most people adore and appreciate those cute, furry, four-legged critters, we all know there are some we just can't or shouldn't approach. For instance, avoiding lions, tigers, bears and other similar animals is always a good rule of thumb. But what about when they approach you? What should you do then? That was precisely the situation that happened to one woman hiking in California.

In the video posted on YouTube, the woman is walking along a trail when a mountain lion turns the corner and starts to slowly approach her. While adrenaline had to be coursing through her body, the woman did not do what had to have been her first instinct and run. Instead, she can be heard continually shouting "no" as the massive cat gets closer and closer to her.

Then, after taking several steps toward her, something unexpected happens. The cat shifts its attention away from her and makes its way up the mountain, covering an astonishing amount of ground as it does so. In two or three moves, the cat is now 10 or 15 feet up the large hill.

Despite the scary encounter, the clip states that the woman returned to the same trail the next day. If that had happened to me, you'd never see me on that trail again. There must be other trails where she lives with fewer mountain lions.

Isaiah 41:10 "Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support."

A man put his life on the line to save a family from a high-rise apartment fire. He risked everything, including his safety, to help a handful of people who were in danger, trapped in a burning apartment. Watch this short but powerful clip to see how this man put his life on the line to save a family from a burning apartment.

What does it take, what must someone do to be considered a hero? In society today, being a hero typically means putting a rubber ball through an orange metal cylinder with only a handful of seconds left on the game clock. Many people, for some inexplicable reason, also consider a person running for public office, while promising to do this or that heroic. Some even believe actors and actresses, people who recite lines written by someone else, to be heroes.

Obviously, society's working definition of a hero and heroism is entirely wrong and distorted. Heroes put others before themselves, risking their safety and even putting their lives in peril. And that is precisely what one man did when he helped an entire family escape a burning building, heroically saving their lives.

In a video posted on social media, a man was captured climbing out of his apartment building and carefully tiptoeing on the ledge while making his way to an apartment with heavy smoke continuously billowing out of it. 

The unnamed hero, once he reaches that burning apartment, reaches for, secures and then moves the children from the smoke-filled apartment to his apartment. He does this for each of the family's children, but he doesn't stop with the children. He continues to risk his life as he rescues the mother and every other remaining family member inside the burning apartment.

At one point during his lifesaving, heroic actions, the camera pans down, giving viewers a quick look at just how much danger this man put himself in to rescue that entire family. One false move and the man would have surely fallen to his death.

Philippians 2:4 "Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others."

One father's sweet and unexpected wedding gesture melts hearts. The bride's father went out of his way to include someone who was completely taken aback by the kind and loving gesture. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the tear-jerking moment the bride's father created.

Weddings are extraordinary, fantastic occasions. They are most certainly reasons for celebration. Who doesn't love seeing two people, standing before God and all their family and friends in attendance, make a loving and lifelong commitment to one another? 

Of course, weddings are often highly emotional events because almost everything involved is significant. Those prone to tears should carry a pack of tissues with them. Even people who do not typically get choked up easily will likely find themselves shedding a tear or two at a wedding. However, what one father of the bride did is likely to have everyone crying, regardless of their propensity to shed tears.

The clip picks up right before the beautiful bride makes her grand entrance and proceeds down the center aisle accompanied by her father. But seconds before that happens, her father makes a move that takes everyone, including the bride, by surprise.

He walks up the aisle by himself, approaches the bride's stepfather, and asks him a question. 

"Would you like to help me escort her?"

With the help of her father and stepdad, the bride makes her way down the aisle to her groom. What a beautiful moment, one that all of them will never forget.

"Weddings are a great way to bring people together," the bride's father said.

His daughter appreciated her father's sweet and surprising move.

"That was something, like, I've always thought about, but, you know, I didn't want to take that moment away from my dad," she said. "I felt like the luckiest girl alive, and to have both my dads there."

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."
