Thatsisaac - Invidious

A few months ago, I prayed that God would speak to me through His people, scripture, and videos that came to my feed. Soon, I began receiving hyper-specific long-form YouTube videos with titles related to my current phases in faith. I couldn't pass them up; I spent time watching, learning, and studying as many of them as I could.

One day a video by Bible Animations titled "The Entire Bible Drawn and Explained" came up, and I felt called not to just watch it or treat it as background noise, but to sit down, focus, and take notes on every book.

This video by Bible Animations explains the 66-book Protestant Bible. As you may know, I am Catholic, and our bible contains 73 books. So, I studied this video with discernment when theological differences arose, keeping an open mind to the explanations and interpretations presented while remaining grounded in my Catholic faith.

All in all, I found this video very helpful, and I now have a greater grasp of each book’s central themes and storyline than before.

I will be conducting a separate study on the 7 books that weren't covered in this video (Tobit, Judith, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, The Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), and Baruch) to answer my questions: "Why are these 7 books in the Catholic bible, and what are their significances to our faith?"

I hope you all enjoy and learn a thing or two from Part One of this series. Part Two will be coming out this Wednesday, October 28th.

May God bless you all.

I loved editing the video, "My first love". It brought me so much joy reliving the dream I had for 8 years: to make it to the NBA.

Because of this, I decided to go back to the park and film again. These past few days have been rough, and a lot was on my mind, so I figured this would help me relax and get my mind off of it. What was intended to be fun and lighthearted quickly got really deep and extremely vulnerable.

One thing about me is that no matter how low times get, I will get back up every single time. I will keep going; I will keep trying. No. Matter. What. I ask for the intercession of Saint Michael the Archangel for strength, and Philippians 4:13 encourages me to keep moving forward.

I hope you all enjoy; a like, comment, share, or subscribe would be sincerely appreciated.

May God bless you all.

My Entire Faith Testimony Pt. 2

I get emotional every single time I write or talk about this topic. My life has been filled with seasons of highs and lows—on fire for the Lord in one season, and wanting to live in the world in the next. After reflecting on my entire faith journey, I can boldly say that this is the season in which I’ve returned to the faith, and I am committed to following Him faithfully for the rest of my life. He is truly at the center of my life and all its facets, right where He rightfully belongs.

For me, this is a daily act of surrender and obedience to His will. Please keep me in your prayers, as we are sent out like sheep in the midst of wolves (Matthew 10:16). Whoever tries to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for His sake will find it (Matthew 16:25). Those who leave brothers or sisters, mothers or fathers, homes or fields for His name’s sake will receive a hundredfold, along with persecutions, and inherit eternal life in the age to come (Mark 10:29–30). He knows what is best for my life, and I ask for His strength to keep me strong when I feel weak. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength (1 Corinthians 1:25).

I hope my story touches you or even inspires you to give Him a chance. He does not promise us an “easier” life. Life may become “harder” in some seasons. He does not promise a life free from suffering, and we may face trials we don’t understand. However, we can trust that He remains with us and can bring good out of our suffering. He promises eternal life to those who believe in Him and calls us to follow Him faithfully to the end (John 3:16). He also assures us that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5).

I am no longer lonely or depressed, nor do I struggle with the habits and addictions that once held me captive. Although I still experience emotional and mental highs and lows, I am set free in His name, and there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).

May God bless you all.

I went off my usual split this week, but it worked out because I got to hit a full push day with you (which is something I never do).

From as early as 6 years old, I've had aspirations to lift; I would ask my dad, "Dad, can I start lifting yet?" and he would reply, "Not until you're 10 years old." It took an additional, yet understandable, 5 years until I touched my first weight, and at 15 I never looked back. I wanted to be strong as a way to protect my loved ones from any physical harm that could come our way. I also wanted to lift because I had an older cousin and family friend who were incredibly fit. The doughy kid (me) would look at them and say, "I want to look like that one day".

I'm 22 today, and in these last 7 years I've learned many lessons that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else but the gym: discipline, endurance, comparison, relationships, family, and faith. I couldn't picture my life any other way without working out, and although I am far from where I want to be, I am far from where I once was.

Here's a typical lift for me and where my head wanders off to in between every set, and every lift.

May God bless you all,

Today I took a trip down memory lane and reunited with my first love, basketball.

I began playing basketball at just 8 years old and played all the way up to 16 years old. This was the first ever career path that I ever gave my 110%. I played indoor and outdoor, in the hot and cold, in the sun and rain, every single chance I could. I started playing for my city's basketball league, up to varsity AAU at 14 years old which was the top of my career.

I would study my biggest inspirations like Kobe, Klay Thompson, JJ Redick, Stephen Curry, and Kyrie Irving, arguably the greatest guards to ever play the sport, and tried my best to one day be as talented as they were.

This sport was my first true love, has taught me so many lessons that I live by to this day, and it will always have a soft spot in my heart. The grind was truly something else, and was an experience money could never put a price on.

Just a ball and a dream.

May God bless you all,

I do not correlate me taking my faith serious with how much money I’ve lost. As mentioned in the video, I purchased a car, invested in my startup @centered.app, invested in an editor, went on a couple of vacations, and didn’t track or spend my money as wise as I could have. I take accountability for this. Also, I have been born and raised Catholic and have been confirmed in my faith, so I didn’t just “become Christian”, I now take my faith serious and share it publically. How much I’m making is different now for 2 major reasons: lack of posting over the year, and a change in niche. Traditionally, these can CRUSH the average creator’s career. All in all, God has blessed my finances abundantly to still pursue this career path full-time, and I have full faith in Him on where it goes from here.

Choose your words wisely, they possess more power than you think.

*Note- this translation is not officially issued by the Vatican. Rather, it is part of a long historical lineage of paraphrasing Church teachings and Scripture into modern, widespread slang to reach younger generations.

Pride- “The fear of the Lord is the hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.” (Proverbs 8:13)

Greed- “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.” (1 Timothy 6:10)

Lust- “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already commited adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28)

Envy- “For where there is envy and self ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind.” (James 3:16)

Gluttony- “Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame: their minds are set on earthly things.” (Philippians 3:19)

Wrath- “You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness.” (James 1:19-20)

Sloth- “The lazy person does not plough in season; harvest comes, and there is nothing to be found.” Proverbs 20:4)

May God open your eyes to see and ears to listen. God bless you all.
