Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to watch the interview! And thanks Vihan for asking me to share my story. I pray that God pours out His abundant grace into your lives...and that you are given the grace to be able to notice that grace from now on! If you're still searching, don't give up. You may still have questions and doubts in your mind. But God finally met with me in my heart through His Spirit. And then He answered all my 'logical' questions along the way. We hope this video points you in the right direction though. 🙂

I met you in one of your shows in Hyderabad before pandemic. I love your wit. I always thought there’s something about you knowing your Christian name that you need to get back to. I’m so glad you’ve come to know the Lord. Welcome to the Christ club. Love and prayers to you Naveen and your family. Love to your Mom! 💜🥰💝🤍

Wow i remember watching a funny video in malayalam with archana kavi, Kenny and you & i felt what a wonderful mallu christian youths yet Jesus seems missing from their lives. Im a born hindu who got saved 8 years ago. So looking at you people i felt really bad tht inspite of being born in a christian family you guys are missing out on somthing soo big JESUS. But im so glad you had an encounter with Jesus. I pray the same for kenny and Archana too. 💜👐

You still have the pride of your caste, get rid of it and just mention yourself as a coverted christian. Humble yourself brother. I have met so many converted christian mentioning about their high caste, why? leave the trash behind and stay clean

Wait! This dude has not been saved for more than 2 or 3 years and he already understands and knows SO MUCH about God and his ways!!! 😱😱😱 Dayum! #toomuch #welcometothefam

I accepted Jesus in 11th and started to live for Jesus ..I am from Hindu background and now mother of two kids ..Thank you Jesus for your precious salvation I am not worthy it's your grace and love on me love you Jesus

Dec 2021... I remember the gig Naveen did for my organisation Tredence at our virtual Annual party. I found his comedy refreshing and being a part of Revive Nations and having such deep spiritual roots I remember the first thought I had was... How nice if this talented artist was saved!! And now I know hell's lost another one 😊🙌 Praise God! We need more of Jesus lovers in secular professions being the light!

When Naveen said he's taken his content down I didn't really believe, I just had to go and check it myself. Omg. There's couple of videos from this year and then one video from 6 years ago 🤯🤯 Last 5 years have vanished 🤯🤯🤯😵😵 I knew about stand up comedy because of Naveen & Kenny only because of which I know there were several videos. Taking down years of work because your conviction was greater & impactful is AMAZING. Soo extremely happy to see what God has done in your life and what He's capable to do. Can't wait too see all thats in store. God bless you more & more

So glad that today accidentally, I’m able to watch this testimony!

Best Christmas gift this year! Thank you Jesus. Welcome to the kingdom of God my dear dear brother in Christ!! ❤❤❤

I know Naveen . This is the first thing I saw this morning when I logged in, feeling so inspired !

Wow ! This took me back to the 8th of August 1982 , when at the age of 33 I encountered Jesus in a similar and awesome way . Listening to you took me my first love . Oh for the joy of encountering the deep love of the Father , the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the friendship of Jesus . There’s nothing like it’s richness . So much that my demeanour changed . People in the company I worked for were astonished . Including a very understanding boss and colleagues . And yes there was pain and much crying . Crying at the depths of my sinful depravity , debauchery , in the face of revealed holiness and the fact that I had to sever relationships that were rooted in the pride of life and the lust of the eyes . In one fell sweep not only did I know about the forgiveness of a gracious God but actually experienced his mind blowing cancellation of all my humongous sin . I walked like I was walking on sponge on the streets of Bandra . Thank you for sharing so openly and transparently .

So glad to see a person from the village called "Idhuellampoi" getting saved! Jesus loves!

Idk why but I was smiling the whole time😄...So so glad that u found Jesus, dear brother. Praying that He will continue to bless u and make u a blessing!❤

After hearing this interview. I wanna tell this words only. I love you Jesu. I love more than anything 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Praise the Lord! I earnestly pray that you will get to know Him more and more over the years! I'm just bursting out with joy in my heart seeing this first thing in the morning! May you bring many, many, MANY MORE people to Christ! Amen!

Praise The Lord , so happy for you Naveen , Jesus is the name above all names , the best relationship you can ever have

I like how Naveen explains God’s justice #JesusPayedMyFine

@Nephilim Slayer @Nephilim Slayer Hi, I am not here to defend the wrongs. If they are true, I am sorry to see this have happened, this is not even remotely close to what Christianity represents. If people have committed crimes, I think it's their understanding of Christianity that needs to be questioned. If someone had to give me a knife in my hand, Christianity has taught me to drop the knife or rather to never pick it in the first place and to face the torture instead. Yes, this may not convince you, but you could verify this for yourself. Our book is out there. Actions of man cannot be blamed on a faith because the faith preaches the exact opposite but man doesn't understand. These people who may have committed/commit crimes are also people we pray for to be saved. If facts matter to you, then do have a look at what Christianity actually preaches through the Bible and not what men do/say. I hope you have a good year ahead. Love ❤️

"Beauty for ashes" Isaiah 61:3. That's how I would like to describe Naveen's testimony. And every word the he spoke felt so relatable to my testimony during the lockdown. Praise God! I pray that many souls are saved in this manner(or even more gloriously) so that everyone gets to taste the love of Christ. And good work vihaan,truly a blessing to see you glorify the Lord at all times.

Thank you Vihan. I can see the Light of Jesus in you. Wonderful testimony of Naveen Richard. May God use you both to do great exploits for Jesus. He is worthy. Shalom Toronto 🇨🇦

"I mean God made fun. We are the ones who mess it up" So true !! Wow.. Love God's timing in Naveen's life. Love him even more now. The amount of wisdom in this interview is so pure and great !! Thank you Vihan for this beautiful video. Thank you Naveen for the beautiful words !!

My children showed some of Naveen’s videos and I used to be so disturbed with his language. There was a pain in my heart as to how a Christian can say such foul language.. then my children said it’s very common.. Amma better not to watch such things. (Obviously I am one of the old class people) Naveen I feel so happy and praise the Lord for your realisation and My Lord Jesus allowed me to watch this video.. What a change in your face..All love and Praise to The Loving Lord..🙏🙏

Mannn the authenticity of this interview is sooo raw and real i love it......thats how Christians were before they were called Christians

I watched this interview for 3to4 times every time i watched, God is speaking to me with something new and it's true... God bless you naveen Richard Anna Thank you vihan for bringing us this wonderful testimony

This is so awesome! Just love the transformation of Naveen. I’ve always enjoyed his performances right from the first time I watched him at a stand up gig about 10 years back. The amazing talent God has blessed him with has always been evident in all his shows and it’s too cool that he is now using this for God’s glory. Really inspired by his bold faith to share his testimony publicly knowing how this could affect his reputation. Praying that we continue to see more entertainers encounter Jesus and reach people like Naveen who may not be able to hear the truth through all the distractions the enemy puts in front of them. Just loved how Naveen’s mom persistently prayed for him for 15 years! Thank you Vihan for sharing this with us.

@Naveen Richard : I have experienced everything you have described and I believe every salvation story is of the same nature. So no, it is definitely not in your head and it is definitely NOT acidity 😄 The beauty of this testimony is in it’s simplicity. It really is this simple to know Jesus and be known by Him ! Then comes that overwhelming sense of joy, security and a desire to shout the truth from roof tops that at least one more person may get what you have !!!

God bless you dear for such a great testimony.Even i have felt Jesus the same way....I even cry when I worship him, people think I am crazy but that's God's love 💖

Oh my God. I had a feeling while listening to a podcast😱 thank you Jesus.

Like St.Monica prayed for her son St.Augustine’s conversion.

Hey Naveen!!! I liked you as a comedian...but to see your new life in the Lord; is such a joy and Praise God for His Amazing Grace. This again proves the power of mom's tears and the prayers of many people around you. May the Lord anoint you to be an ambassador wherever you are placed. Thanks Vihan for arranging such an awesome time.

It is such a wonderful and pleasant feel to hear Naveen's journey ❤️ And the way he tells the story is so beautiful and overwhelming 🤗 From the start to end, it was amazing to hear about God in the most beautiful way through one of my favorite people 💛 I have always loved and adored Naveen for his timing comedies and accent (being a Tamilan myself)... But now, my respect for Naveen has been Doubled and my faith in God has been tripled ✨ Also, thank you Vihan for asking Naveen to talk about this. If not for you, we all wouldn't have been able to hear about Naveen's breathtaking journey ❤️ Hope that I and everyone will be able to experience God just like how Naveen did 🤗 Take care and Love you always, Naveen & Vihan ❣️

This is the first video of Naveen's that made me cry instead of the usual ROFL.

Have watched Naveen Richard online and now he talks about his experience with Christ. Amazing! 😃

I always laugh out myself when I see him on screen, but I watched this with a joy in my heart and tears in my eyes, Praising God for his life and testimony. Lots of love and prayers to you

This was such a powerful testimony..and it's obvious how much of God's wisdom has come into Naveen..I pray God leads him to the purpose He made him for.

@Naveen Richard: Praise God for your story. I am so glad that you get to represent God on the platform He placed you into. I look forward to the future and your work that will bring God glory. Its going to be great to see as you set the example for people to be funny and not need the crutch of worldliness in order to be relevant. Praise Jesus!!! to God be ALL the glory!

Wow! This is a real surprise and brings me great Joy! I remember meeting him a long time ago when he had come here to Vellore for a stand up!!! I wasn't saved back then.

So blessed by this! May the Lord continue to use you for His glory.

Wow! Praise be to God. What a heart touching testimony! Glory be to God. I was Hindu. My life was like an hell on earth without Jesus. I did not know who was the true God. One fine day Jesus came into my life and filled me with the joy that this world could never give me. My life changed completely forever. My sickness, hopelessness….. left me. He is mine and I’m his. Hallelujah!!!!

This put a big smile on my face! ☺💙✝
