I don't share your beliefs. But that doesn't mean I can't listen to you talk about them and take something valuable from them, or admire how they have impacted and inspired your work. Whatever motivates people to do good work, and not judge or try to control others - that's what is needed in the world. I'm willing to bet a lot of people watching this channel feel the same. Talk about whatever you want to talk about and folks like me can listen and consider, or we can find the fast forward button.

What a mature attitude. I wish more people on you tube were so positive and kind.

Well said.

Thank you for the teaching of God's wisdom and the best way to live.

Never worry about what people want to hear. Keep preaching God’s word. We all need it. We all need HIM. Keep going guys! You’ve got this! ❤

I appreciate your conversations on faith. You are brave with what you speak about, holding firm to what you believe but also being kind in the way you share.

When I look up at the beauty of the sky in the daytime or the Heavens at night, I'm reminded of the Lord's greatness, His goodness, and His glory. Thanks for the good message at the end, Rob.

Always a pleasure to listen to your stories Rob. The class questions were very interesting. We need more morality in the world. 😊😊❤

I thoroughly enjoyed your "teaching" at the end. I was enthralled by the comparisons you gave. Thank you for that. Until next week...

Enjoyed every second!🎄🎁❤️

Love the extra educational talk😊

I love Robs appreciation of the Chateau.

Rob, please don't ever feel you have to restrict yourself from sharing stories of your teaching or your faith here on KZread. Yes there are haters but they are in the minority. The rest of us love this content. That's why we tune in every day. You have lived a life a family and service and faith that gives you perspective. And I know we all appreciate learning from that. I was raised Catholic and am Catholic today. I'm still learning about my faith as it should be. When I was a little girl, I developed a debilitating disease that left me physically disabled. I will never be able to experience your chateau in person but I love living vicariously through these videos. You have a beautiful home. And what you're doing with it fills me with so much joy and hope for the world. For my nieces and nephews and the world that their maturing into. Keep up the good work. Don't doubt yourself so much. God is leading you in a new direction. And you are humble enough to follow Him. PS where did you store that broken glass? You sound like my dad. He was raised in the '30s so he had that great depression mentality. Nothing got tossed because it would find a use someday. Unfortunately our house was not nearly as big as yours.

Wow on the sky with you talking. Rob I really appreciate these daily updates.

As a retired Educator and Principal, for the last twelve years, I thoroughly enjoyed your comments and thoughts on different learning styles. I absolutely loved teaching , learning from my students and lmeeting their needs. You are able to create a wonderful learning community. It was an astounding career, passion and niche. 🇨🇦

Love when you speak the word forth. Blessings 😊

Love your videos and your faith. Your students are so lucky to have you both in their lives. The food is an art! The roof looks amazing.My favorite chateau. Everything is so symmetrical.I thank God for all his beauty and the gift to appreciate it. So many people don't appreciate all his beauty.

Love today’s video, for the walk around town, (that river!), the amazing meal and your chat about how people learn. Experience is by far the best teacher, in my opinion. What you said about visiting a former battlefield for example, that comes with feeling and emotion that a book or movie cannot convey. Thanks Rob and Lesley. No doubt a daily video is a ton of work for you. Much appreciated.

The Kingdom of God is living in righteousness joy and peace of the Holy Spirit according to Paul Romans 14:17

Loved the sky. They will miss your teaching. Glad you can keep it going in France. It is so much more engaging to be right there while learning about the culture.

Beautiful sunset! And that meal looked fantastic. So fun to have all those courses to try. I appreciate that you are sensitive to the feelings of others, and that your philosophy appears rooted in common sense and being real. Back in the day, I never wanted to cheat or steal a paper to get a good grade. I wasn't raised that way. It would have been shameful. I wanted to earn my praise and good grades by learning something and improving myself so I could live well in the world, while being a decent person. While not all are religious, I think there are more common threads than not. To me the zeitgeist follows a false narrative, spun by advertisers and social media. Greed and insecurity keep it fed. If each of the students whose lives you touch spreads some good during their lives, you will have accomplished much. I agree so much about engagement. You are good folks. :)

Enjoyed immensely your video today. From the building updates and pitfalls of your gorgeous chateau to the restaurant and your education commentary. I do work as a non-academic in a university and also have thoughts on modern educational practices and implementation. Fabulous to have found your channel from the start! Look how far you have come and how much you have given us, and all the knowledge you have bestowed upon the youth in your program! Wishing you both a joyous Christmas and a beautiful New Year. From another Canadian and for SK resident (!)

Food looks delicious.

I learned the truth of Luke 12:15 from a Haitian friend years ago. What a life lesson to understand it from a third world perspective. Great questions!

I always learned best by experiencing a situation rather than by reading...

I’m so glad you mentioned different learning styles. I’m a twin who did well with the educational structure most schools use. My twin had a difficult time in school under the same structure however she is very smart.

Thanks for the sky views and the talk Rob! 😊

The food looks so wonderful and plentiful and how do you guys not weigh a tonne? ❤

Thank you for the message at the end. I needed a teacher like you to help me answer my questions about faith that have never been satisfied. Bless your heart!

Funny Rob, “another thing I like about having a chateau”. Thank you for the daily video of beauty in France, the restaurant food is art! Hopefully the roofing company will get a masonry to fix the facade.

If not you to share the Good news, then who? Thanks for your ministry.

When I was a child we lived first in Orleans and then to Chinon. My dad was American Military and we knew a French Colonel and his wife who lived in Angers. He took us to the fortress and interpreted the Apocalypse Tapestries

I'm watching more ads for a Christmas thank you 🎄

Immersion is best for retention. I took an Excel course but never used it and have zero recall how to create it

The Colonel’s last name was D’Oeil. Not sure I am spelling it correctly but he helped me remember by saying his last name is the French word for eye. He invited us to his home for dinner and his wife cooked the most delicious duck. My parents and my sister are gone now and I am the only one who remembers

I'm wondering if any of your students from your M. college classes have seen your chateau videos? Not only entertaining but also great life lessons in faith and perserverence. 🥰

I have a question. Eating the french food - how come you and Leslie have not gained 100 lbs.? I guess you work it off working on the house. I,on the other hand, would be bigger than your lovely home. Enjoyed the video.

Hermoso techo🤗

Rob religious or not, we really enjoy your conversations, what you have done and going to do is marvellous and the admiration from your channel followers are abound with love and greatness that you have both sacrificed to help others in the world who may not be worldly versed on the aspects of the todays society outside the United States of America.

As a follower of Christ and student of the Bible, I’ve come to see that God’s ways are the ones that bring Life. Some think the Bible just a religious work, but perhaps they’ve not read Proverbs, or looked at the sound advice of Psalm 119. I am also seeing that what folks call “common sense” is in fact a gift from God for all people. I see the practical aspect of your teaching is truly beneficial. Keep developing it!

Love watching all the sunset shots!

I'm loving that restaurant's amazing meals! Something I learned from a French lady, is that after a meal you should place your cutlery on the plate side-by-side, (parallel), to show you enjoyed the meal. If you place them crossing each other it's an insult, apparently! I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but just wanted to let everyone know. I wouldn't want to inadvertently seem rude :)

Peugeot q08mwas 10800 euro, though they don’t make them no more. But you should buy a 3-4 year old car from 1 owner and low miles. Since the first years a car devalues a lot.

Way back in 1974 when I was 18 years old, I went to 4 countries in Europe for a month. Rome, Italy was my favorite. My take away from this trip was that Europeans didn't really care for Americans at all. I was spat on by a woman in front of Notre Dame Cathedral for no reason at all! Another person said to our group that "you are from the Midwest" (which we were). I do appreciate your "talks"!

🤤

How many students could afford to go to five french restaurants? Keep it real ❤

Don’t Rob and Leslie set a daily food budget for each student as part of the practical side of their course?

What is the sealed up third floor corner window on the left side of the Chateau? At the end of the video.

Have you ever thought about having retreats at your chateau for adults. Perhaps Bible studies.

Who knows but God's next chapter for you might include reaching even MORE people with Godly principles through these videos 🥰

I do not comment often on these videos, but I have noticed lately that you both seem to appear a bit down. Which is understandable in your current circumstances. As someone who has had multiple sudden curves in the road (some I wanted and some I did not) I just wanted to say you are going to be okay, if you open your mind and your heart to the change. You have said often that you had a certain vision of how this would be, but all things of nature have an agenda of their own. Embrace the change, open your mind to accept all help, and be open to the journey. After all, it is just ego that keeps us from seeing that life has a plan all its own. I can tell you from my own experiences that once you put yourself aside, and open yourself up, amazing things happen. Right now, you are both in the inbetween and that is hard, but that is the exact perfect place to be while you mourn your old life, and get ready to embrace the new. It seems to me, that you own the chateau, it is yours, and the best way to protect and nurture the program you created...is to protect the chateau. That may be in a different form that you planned, but both are worthy. I encourage you to find ways to fund yourself and the chateau...off season, so that you can continue to grow your program. You have an amazing asset to work with, and you lease the chateau to the program, that does not mean (in my view) that exploring other ways to fund the chateau and yourselves is bad. Anyway, I have been thinking of this for several days and just wanted to get my thoughts out there.

Do you mind sharing the monthly cost of your car rental? Going to France for 3 months next year. Thanks in advance.

Lowest cost simple care is $350-400ish these days, some cares more like $500 from the Super U, I think you need proof of residence to rent from Super U

Piece of chateau that fell off-- the channel 'Beau Chateau' did a video not too long ago about how they successfully fixed some places on their facade like that. It wasn't high up but if you had a lift, might be something you'd want to tackle.

Especially possible while the roofers are there with their cherry-pickers!

I’m sure you’ve had it up to here 🤏 with all of our suggestions, but your entrance would be CHEF’S KISSIER if you trim those trees on the right side. God bless! 🌲🌲🌲🌲
