jukes243 I totally agree with this sentiment, Megan! Well said! I don’t think anyone is oblivious to anything going on in the world, but it’s so much in our face on the news, internet, everywhere! While acknowledging what is going on as adults, we also need a space for happy heartfelt positive videos! Keep up the great videos, Megan!!!

I think the brick wall in the worship space is gorgeous. If you painted the brick white it would give the room a sterile atmosphere, not warm as it is now. So, don't paint it!!!

Hi Megan! I’ve been a subscriber of yours since you started youtube and have loved all of your content. I am not a Mennonite, but I am a Christian. I’m also a black woman, so these times are a little touchy for me. I think a lot of “influencers” don’t want to be viewed as being political when speaking up about certain topics, but honestly when speaking and standing for the Kingdom of God, its not political at all. Its a matter of right vs. wrong and racism/hatred of any kind is evil and there is absolutely nothing wrong with stating that. That is truth, God’s truth! I don’t think that there is anything wrong with stating God’s truth in your videos. Stating that all people were created in the image of God is truth. Stating that God loves us all and Jesus died for all is truth. The people who are truly for you will be for you regardless. Just my two scents. ❤️

Dear Megan, I enjoy ur channel & wish you & Josh the best. I have to say here that Josh is right. You should never go to Church just as if it was like golfing, playing Church, etc.... God doesn't play games & HE deserves our repect. You go with a heart that wants to give God your very best. And you will be BLESSED for doing so. Be an example for others always. Sincerely, Sharol Aid🍃🌹

Megan Fox Unlocked I would say that a group of people treated differently because of something like race is morally wrong. A human rights issue. White folks wanting to keep black folks down is where systems of hierarchy and oppression come in, and that’s what makes it political. White folks like you and I get to choose whether or not to be involved. I guess noticing you have that option, is a step.

I think that people get caught up on the thought process that "God doesn't care what you wear." And I agree; come as you are! However, I think we forget that sometimes we need to do things for ourselves. It puts me in a better heart-place by dressing up a bit. It's my way of signaling myself that this is important and significant! In fact, it reminds me a bit of tithing. God doesn't "need" our money, but he knows that WE need to have the soul experience of giving our money. Love the vlog, as always, Megan!!

getting "dressed up'" for Church can mean different things though. I grew up Catholic in Italy, there people wear jeans, t-shirts and all that, but you'll never seen shorts, very short skirts, and uncovered shoulders. once I moved in the US I noticed everyone would dress up with fancy clothes, but I've also seen many tank tops, very short dresses, men with shirt on top but shorts on the bottom.. it doesn't make sense to me, but to each its own I guess

Josh did an amazing job on the church! Wow! Much to be proud of

Here in Ireland 🇮🇪 we do the same we get dressed for church ⛪ I have church and clothes for every day

We dress up for church. When I was younger I heard someone say "if we can spend hours getting ready for a party (or to go to the club) we even by a new dress why wouldn't we do the same to worship our Lord". I always think about this when I am getting ready for church. Great job on the renovations. Love your channel!

I used to wear jeans to church but I’m seeing things different now. For the past 6-8 months or so I’ve been wearing dresses or skirts. I love going worshipping God and want to look my best and feel jeans are too casual for the way I feel. I don’t care what anyone else wears including my husband who usually wears jeans. I am just being convicted myself.

We dress up for church and I feel most dressed up when I wear a black dress so that's what I normally wear :) and I love the fact that this channel isn't political! You're doing a fantastic job!

Evonnie's 'countdown' was too cute😆

I'm an atheist, but I enjoy hearing about others' faith. I liked seeing your church. All the gray felt very calm and soothing. Beautifully put together. :)

Megan, just do what you normally do...no need to change your content

Definitely always dressed up for church, the boys too. I don’t know .. it’s ok to come as you are too as long as your heart is in the right place, but I’ve always felt I want to bring my best before the Lord on that day inside and out. Do as you are doing, be yourself! It’s ok to be happy and as for the world these days, I pray leaving it with the Lord. I believe that’s best. Loved the boat but I would drown, can’t swim🙁

i LOVE that you arnt talking about world events its so nice to "go" somewhere and everything seem normal

I appreciate that you recognize that there are a lot of heavy things going on in the world right now. I don't think it's problematic to keep posting your content and your life. Those videos still do have a place right now. I guess I've always looked up to you as a really lovely example of a modern Christian woman and perhaps personally felt that was your brand even if it's not explicitly how you identify your KZread brand. Some of the first videos I watched of yours discussed being a Mennonite and even things like birth control and I was so impressed. Given that, I sort of expected to hear some kind of reflection on the sanctity of all human life, particularly right now Black human life. I don't think that's political. Certainly the ways we go around trying to fix systemic issues in our country can feel more political and I don't think it's fair to ask you to comment on that, given the scope of your channel. Even if it's simply a short reflection or prayer, I'd love to hear those things from you.

I totally agree with Katherine. Expressing empathy for what Black people are going through lately would be lovely and consistent with your message of light here on your channel. But no need to change overall content- I love it! But yeah, I’ve never seen you shy away from tough issues and I think it’s ok to express how a Mennonite might experience these times from a nonviolent/pacifist, life honoring, non political perspective. Love from a fellow Menno in Bangkok. 💕

“Mommy can you put me in a wing?” Oh my heart 💜

Hey, that church reno is so well done! It looks like you all are making great use of the space. Megan, I don't think you should feel that you have to speak to what's going on in the world. If you start doing that, where would you draw the line? What headlines would you include and which would you exclude? I wouldn't want to see you go down that road. The solution to EVERY problem is the Lord Jesus Christ, His work on the Cross, and His Gospel that He died for sins and rose from the dead to put away sin and death for all who believe. I come here to be encouraged, not "watch the news." Just my two cents...

I find it very refreshing to watch something that's on the lighter side. Many channels I used to enjoy have laden their content with politics and covid topics. Some have became so radical that I have unsubscribed. You're doing a great job. God bless

Megan, you are such a light in these tumultuous times. Keep on being who you are!! Blessings on your family!

I see many comments saying how nice it is to take a break from the heaviness of the news and escape into the news free content of Megan’s videos. I ask people to consider that many people cannot take that break. They are living the content of those news stories every day. It is a privilege we have in our society that allows some of us to take that break. What would it have been like to be a very early Christian in Roman occupied territories? Would their danger and anxiety have weighed on them in big and small ways moment by moment? Megan, whatever your heart and mind wish to say or not say about any topic, current or not, I will greatly enjoy watching you say it on your channel. That’s why I’m here, to hear your voice. Whether it’s an escape for me or not, I will learn something about you and about me and I will love that! I am happy with whatever you share.

A bit excessive but you do you.

In my church most of the congregation (being an older congregation) dress up for church. That being said dressing up can be different to people. I my self was taught you wore your best to church. God has given us so much we should honor him with our best. It makes me realize how blessed I am for all that I have. All God given.

I am Catholic and at my specific church it is not required to dress up. Everyone seems to wear what is comfortable for them. Some Sundays I dress up a little nicer and on others I wear jeans a t-shirt. For a while I thought I had to dress up every Sunday but then I realized just being at Church and worshipping God is what’s important!

I’ve heard people use their dishwasher as a giant drying rack in times like that!

Hi, Megan: our church meets in a school. It is Alliance, casual, with a wide variety of clothes represented! No judgment, but I usually like to look a little put together. Love the trend of repurposing buildings, rather than building church buildings from scratch. “Church building” as the church is us, the people!

My husband & I always dress up a little more for church. To me it says I'm bringing my best self here to your house because you're worth the effort. I'm kind of old school I guess. I grew up in the 60's & 70's & that's the way it was. We do the same when we're going weddings or funerals. It's the way we were raised.

Yes keep being you and sharing. 💖

That church is amazing!

I'm Glad you touched on the challenging times and the natural difficulty we all have wanting to keep joy and goodness in our and loved ones' lives while also acknowledging that so many people are in pain and danger and that our hearts can grow heavy with the grief of it; that sometimes unspoken but deep empathetic pain we feel for those who aren't safe. Beloved Lord, help our hearts to remember all those who are hurting and to know your love is touching each soul, even now. May joy and love be a humble balm and may we do what we can, but also sigh into your grace and rest in your eternal love.

I LOVE dressing up for service! Love that black dress with the small floral 😍Like you said, not much chance to dress up it feels like. And please keep up the normal life content!! Its super refreshing and a great break from the crazy around. 😊

Feels like Christmas LOL The Lake was so Nice. #Mom Life. We Need Fun these days

Love your videos do much and look forward to hanging out every week! Thank you for using some of your precious time on us!!!

It is so refreshing to see a man in a suit for business and church, like it was about 25+ years ago. And women in skirts and dresses. I still wear dresses, however I do so on a daily basis and cover my head (when it is safe). Love your videos and sharing life with us. Josh, did an awesome job on the church building. It's amazing how fast the kids have grown. They grow up so fast! I remember when mine were little, but now they are all approaching their 40's. But do enjoy my grandkids, as I have ten.
