Hi, um, I'm James, I'm James Odom, um, oh, I probably should have said that, Hi, I'm James Odom, and, um, I was wondering why is this, why is a light skin dude named James wearing, um, pajama pants and wearing a hoodie, why is he on my screen, why, why, why am I watching, why am I watching this, right, and, that's a very great question to ask, sorry if the mic is acting weird, um, still trying to figure out how to get close to it, but, um, why, you know, why, why am I watching, um, my why, my why for even doing all this, right, is so I can, I, I felt it on my heart that, uh, what God wants me to do, at least right now, is, um, just be a voice for our generation, uh, you know, as teenage Christians trying to stay on the straight and narrow and have an actual relationship with God and thrive in this world that is just so evil and cruel, right, cause it's hard out here for us, and I don't think, I think, you know, grown ups try to relate to us sometimes, sometimes it works, you know, but some stuff you just can't relate to, cause it's our generation, they didn't have internet, they didn't have the things that we could access, right, and, um, I guess I just, I just wanna be on here to, just, I, I'm gonna give the advice that I have, cause obviously I don't know, I don't know everything, but, uh, as, as well as just being a voice, you know, telling the struggles, at least, you know, I, cause I've talked to multiple, you know, Christians my age, and it seems to be all the same struggles, so I'm just, I'm here to just spread the word, talk about things I feel very passionate about as far as, like, the word, and things that I think of, and things God puts on my heart, and just, um, just, just giving exposure to the things that we struggle with, and finding solutions to that, you know, cause, um, you know, being a Christian is all about trial and error, so, uh, we're gonna fail, we're gonna fail, and that's another thing I wanna let everybody know, that you're gonna, it's okay if you mess up, cause you're not perfect, and you're never gonna be perfect, and I know it sounds bad, you're never gonna be perfect, right, but, you shouldn't wanna be perfect, you know, that holds a lot of things, you know, and, um, I'm just grateful that, that we don't have to be perfect, I'm grateful that Jesus lived a perfect life, so that we could be able to, you know, go to heaven, you know, cause we're not worthy enough, but anyways, as I digress, you know, I just wanna, I just want to, um, you know, be a little voice for people, and I feel like I work well with my words enough that I can, I can just help people, um, I'm just blessed to even have this opportunity to do this, so I thank God for that, and, um, I'm, I'm just here to have, you know, spread the word, obviously, you know, and, um, in different ways, you know, I don't wanna just do it just standing here with a microphone talking, sitting on the floor, right, I wanna, you know, I don't, as far as like me going, I don't do much outside of school and sports, right, so I'm just thinking of, you know, maybe going out and interviewing people, like how you be seeing all the Instagram reels, and asking people about God, man, and, um, I think, I think it would be very good, and I don't wanna live my life just thinking like, what if I, what if I, like, dang, I didn't do that, what if I did it, you know, I don't wanna live my life doing that, so I'm just, I'm just grateful to be here, and, um, you know, I appreciate you guys if you subscribe to the channel, and, um, if you don't, then that's alright too, I still love you, God still loves you, you know, and, dang, my back's hurting, but, um, yeah, uh, I appreciate everyone that's watching this, watching, watching this, and, um, I guess this is a little intro video, I'm not gonna do any fancy edits or anything, so, um, so, yeah, I mean, as far as this video, I'm gonna do edits on the other ones, but, you know, this one is just a little intro video, you know, I'm James, I'm 17, I live in South Carolina, and, um, yeah, I love God, I'm a junior in high school as well, and, um, uh, yeah, I just wanna let everybody know that you're the sins that you, and the shame that you feel is on you, that doesn't define who you are, you know, I've, I mess up a lot, I mess up a lot, you know, to more than people see, more than what people see, you know, a lot of people just know me as the Christian, nice guy, you know, no, so perfect, you know, I mess up a lot, man, I mess up a lot, and I'm just grateful that, um, I, you know, that Jesus, like I said, Jesus lived a perfect life so that we could be forgiven, and we could have a chance to go to heaven, um, and yeah, I just, I'm, I'm just, I'm, this is straight off my head, by the way, I didn't have a script or anything for this, I'm just grateful, I'm just excited to see what comes in the future for this, this channel, and I'm just grateful, you know, like I said, and I hope y'all are doing well, you know, I appreciate all the love, and, um, I thank God for everything I have, you know, and, um, yeah, hopefully this, this will go somewhere, I'm trusting in God, you know, just leaping out, a little leap of faith, you know, always have to go on a leap of faith, and, um, I love you guys, appreciate you, and, um, yeah, I'll see you later.
