  • ur a blessing!!!! rock fa christ ..

  • man and i thought i had a rough life before i came to Jesus.....its crazy how Jesus is there to catch us all. even when no one else is there for us...He is! Long Live The King!

  • this made me cry :'3

  • @drummrath2 That is the best comment I've ever seen! I'm a Christian, and believe the message of God, you know what I mean. But that cleared a lot up and made so much sense! Thank you! :D

  • That's why I love ABR so much. Because they are sincere outspoken band.

  • what song is that in the background??

  • @fallingfor3 The Ember Days - Hope

  • Wow this was just so... Pure.. This was amazing

  • true inspiration.

  • i LOVE watching this video over and over

  • I want his glasses. What kind are they?

  • I think I'll rather DIE than beliving in something thats soooooooo invinsible sooooo fake soooooo rewritten and rewritten.

  • alot of you guys are making offensive assumptions. you can't be sure if jake "would not" be the man he is today if he never got signed, odds are that he would have found his calling in life as a man surrendered to God whether that would be in ABR or not. stop marginalizing who he is to the success of the band, be glad jake is who he is despite his being more famous than you.

  • alot of ppl seem to confuse luck with god. you got lucky jake. i do beleive in a creator but not the one in the bible or the quran or ala or anything like that. When u become a role model and a person kids look up to, you just feel like its your responsibility to tell them to do right. If jake never got into a famous band, and was still painting for 12 hours a day, he would NOT be the person he is today.

  • if my band got signed and we toured around the world, i would make a vid like this too. Maybe then id beleive in "god" 

  • @mbphofan Exactly man! You got he point 100% right! He is a bit full of himself, " hes the choosen one of God" yeah obviously now that youre FINALLY FAMOUS and remember this! How many people paint? How many people feel like shit? Why DOESNT GOD HELP THEM? NO hes just too important right.. Who is insane here? The belivier of invinsible god or the man without god?

    kthxbye

  • @vincentXXX666 Why doesn't God help them? Why don't they ask for help from God?

    The implications in that question are so far off base. The question "why doesn't God help everyone" is so wrong. It implies that all humans have a right to be helped by God. We don't. We are evil. We are broken. We are in open rebellion against God. We deserve eternal death. The better question is: "Why does God help anyone? Why does He save even one person?" No one is worthy of it, but He loves us.

  • @drummrath2 I think its intresting how you make the rules for god, are you god? We deserve eternal death and we are broken... If I would ask another christian they would say something diffrent because everybody wants one invinsble friend that always love you. When we were children at some point everybody had atleast one invinsible friend because else we feel lonley, So god is created in our insantiy from the lonliness. But I belive mankinds is evil but I will never commit to evil.

  • @vincentXXX666 I don't make the rules for God. God defines Himself. He is outside of our reality and all we know about Him comes from Him, which is to say The Bible. Everything that I told you comes from the Bible and is the doctrinal Christian belief. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying. God is not just a friend and He certainly didn't come from modern man feeling lonely. He came from the Israelites thousands of years ago.

  • @vincentXXX666 great minds think alike my dude

  • I wish everyone in the world could watch this video. Right now. This is such an inspiration to so many people that are going through the same thing Jake did. God Bless ABR and all who take their messages to heart. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

  • Guys I'm struggling with suicide and depression in my life. Jesus Christ is the only reason I am still on this earth because I know he has a plan for my life. I was just wondering if you guys could pray for me because prayer strengthens me everyday.

  • @CMassProductions I'll keep you in my prayers, man. Even when it seems that love has abandoned you, it is simply waiting in the most unexpected of places.

  • @CMassProductions you got it man. things will get better for you. just keep having faith in God. no matter how tough things get. i've struggled with suicidal thinking myself before. and i know it sucks. but don't give up on life. God bless you.

  • @Acam130 We don't deserve anything when we realise what Christ did for us. Christanity isn't about getting what we want; we'll be despised, cussed out, and we'll be few will ever commit. Its not religion, its a relationship with the one who saved us. I'm worthless in his glory

  • I stopped asking god for help long ago.. I realised its not worth depending on someone else to fix your problems. I dont know about you, but god didnt do shit for me. Fuck religion

  • @Acam130 It's no about God doing things for you. You must find bliss in serving Him. God isn't there to fix your problems, Jesus didn't die to fix your problems. If you follow the ways of the Lord, you will find the strenght to fix your problems by yourself, cause He will give you that strenght. You just have to know how to use it. I was thinking like you before, I was an atheist, until I was saved and realized what believing in God and the Christ meant.

  • @Acam130 right

  • This video brings tears to my eyes every time. Tears of joy.

  • I want to see some of Jake's paintings during the time period he was talking about in the beginning

  • @domdom72095 he painted houses

  • They should do one with the guys from haste the day.

  • @OMGmaster123 Unfortunately they broke up

  • @DetSandyVagina Yeah, my favorite band too!

  • give me chills and gave me a lot of respect for jake

  • Gave me chills and extreme respect for Jake

  • Wow.. My respect for Jake just grew tremendously! It's hard to find Christian musicians be so passionate and really preach the word of God.. So many bands now days just sell out.. ABR will always be my favorite band..

  • I love the way he puts things. So simple. So touching. So straight forward... I love Aaron Gillespie but Jake's words are more inspiring to me.

  • 5 people don't have their heart in the right place and need to be prayed for.

  • This is really amazing and inspiring Jake you and ABR are awesome!!!!

  • 5 people need help .. :/

  • How could someone possibly dislike this.....

  • This is random but does anyone know what kind of Ray Bans he has there?

  • does somebody knowes the exactly name of his ray ben glasses ?

  • word

  • isweetroxy- yes they are

  • make me this clear plss!! august burns red are not suposed to be a christian band??

  • @isweetroxy Yes they are... look at the lyrics for the eleventh hour and leveler. There are direct references to their faith.

  • My left ear enjoyed this

  • lol i'm not religous, but that was touchy...

  • I had only my left earphone on and I could only hear the music lol

  • Amazing story, amazing man, amazing god. Lik this if God loves you.

  • chiiiiiillllllssssss!!!

  • i love the background song...and this is SO true, God loves us all!! we are not alone!

  • what a humble man xD

  • @luv4vzla its people like you that will burn in hell. Its sad to see people like you.

  • @MrGorditotechdecker wow really dude? for someone who likes listening to ABR you sure dont listen to them...how many have you pushed away? and how many have you saved?...sound familiar? its sad for you to call yourself a christian aka CHRIST LIKE....and say that to someone....im dealing with this same stuff thats why this upsets me so much

  • i get chills every time i watch this. god bless jake!

  • I'm not even a god beleiver..But those were the strongest words ive ever heard

  • @MrKrayzeeKrysis I grew up in a Christian home and didn't fully believe in God for a long time but man you just gotta trust me, He's out there. Hardcore music is the reason I found God and I think that was Him bring me closer. Peace.

  • @savcmsiscool Then why does life seem to be getting harder and harder?

  • @MrKrayzeeKrysis trials and trials and trials man... thats life... Dont give up! :D because God never gave up on us!

  • @savcmsiscool Same here man, I grew up in a christian home but never really had a relationship with God until just a couple of months ago. IMO The secret to living like a true christian and not just some bible-thumper legalistic christian is giving yourself completely to God and just to live in the gospel. It's an amazing thing man, we are blessed!

  • @MrKrayzeeKrysis and it's no coincidence that you clicked on this video and heard this message to realize that God loves you soooo much!!

  • @MrKrayzeeKrysis embrace them. they are real. feel them. it's real. be blessed, in Christ's name.

  • amen !

    strong !

  • what a load of shit. god this, god that. man up and take responsibility for your shitty decisions. its sad to see someone like him, who's decided to change his life, cut himself short, undermine his own mind, and credit some god he so longed to believe in. shameful, but hey, if it 'fixed' him. so be it, i guess.

  • @luv4vzla so yur saying. that he cant put a belief in.. to meet the his center.. and be a better man. that cause he believes in a higher power of good that makes him less of a man..you. really think that... thing is. if you dont like whats said then dont listen. do not put down someones belief .

  • @Nytemarefoxx i'm not saying that at all, and i'm not saying he's cannot do whatever he pleases, hence me saying 'if it 'fixed' him. so be it'...

    i'm saying its shameful that he cuts himself short and rather than recognize it's the change he made on his own, he credits god.

    and why would i refrain from putting down someone's beliefs. that's a ridiculous approach to life.

  • @luv4vzla thats the thing.. he put something to believe n to change his mind. if you dont like what ppl believe in then dont listen. embrace grace. dont abuse it

  • @luv4vzla Fact is, Jake Luhrs wouldn't be alive right now if it weren't for God...or whatever you want to think of it as. If he did not fully believe in God he'd probably be dead.

  • i teared up..

  • anybody know what song this is in the background?

  • wow Jake, never thought i'd be just like you. From this point forward, im gonna make something of myself. Cleanse my life, and turn this energy around to give back good. This is why i love ABR they're the realest mothafuckas out there.

  • 3 people need prayer

  • makes me cry. he's in an amazing band, amazing meaning, message.. wow i love jake

  • wow jake you are amazing

  • Jake is such an inspiration to me <3

  • god sucks

  • @Fabryrock god doesnt suck bro, god the creator of everything loves you man, he loves you so much that he got murdered himself for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @skeleton0578

    this is called ignorance.. right? study more pls

  • @Fabryrock uhh no dude, he really did die for you

  • @skeleton0578

    ok.. now i believe you..really.

  • @Fabryrock Yo man I know exactly where you're coming from. Honestly there is no 'proof' that God exists or that anything in the Bible is true...but you gotta just ask God one day to make himself known to you and I promise it will happen. I used to not believe either and trust me I'm not narrow minded, I've been studying different religions and science for a while now. You just gotta trust me man, God truly does love you.

  • @savcmsiscool

    if there is a god it exists only in our mind.. the Church is corrupted. This is the reality. Maybe The bible was invented by the romans to improve the identity of a new empire..and the others holy books have to be interpreted in an allegorical way to be understand in the right mean. (sorry for the bad english)

  • @savcmsiscool bless you man (:

  • @savcmsiscool Amazing!

  • @savcmsiscool there is also NO proof that God DOESN'T exist ;)

  • @musicboi09 I don't think Jake was talking about religion....

  • WHAT JACK IS FROM SC REPRESENT YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • YOU RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME

  • JAKE GOD BLESS YOU MAN

  • Well I hope one day he realizes that strength came from within himself. Cool story and great band. Joe pesci bless you all

  • whenever I'm feeling down or lose motivation in life I find my self coming back to this video... and it always feels like its the first time I'm watching it.

  • God bless u Jake

  • not much of a religious type but it doesnt make this any less incredible, life is goregous, but you have to recognize that, i was suicidal, thank you whoever it was that made my lips have the ability to form a smile, thank you...

  • im not gay but shit i love you guys! your music helps when im walking through the streets at night. now i know that i dont need fuckin alcohol to get well. thanks ABR! <3

  • He truly is my inspiration<3

  • God bless you Jake

  • Shit he lived in Columbia while I did...

  • @ADayToRemember864 lol same

  • Comment removed

  • why is his voice only on the left channel?

  • You are my hero Jake. You don't know how much you're songs( Redemption the most) have helped me get thru any bad shit i go thru in my life. Thank you :)

  • I can't believe someone would dislike this. This is amazing.

  • This is so passionate and inspirational! Love it!!

  • Idk, and im probably going to get trolled for this but right after I watched this video...I had to go listen to For Today. O_O

  • i dont like when even the word "sex" is usually very misunderstood...

  • @TheMessanjah I agree...

  • I an choking up, this is grabbing my heart. God Bless you Jake, and the whole band and everyone in the world. I have to get on my knees and ask for Jesus to come into my heart so that I know he's truly here. I don't care cry, smile, laugh, anything as long as Jesus is in my heart.

  • ABR was the band that brought me out of my "emoness". I cut myself, I tried poisoning my body and then I heard ABR and I looked them up. I liked it looked more into the band and their songs and The Truth of a Liar was the one that broke me out into tears. I dedicate my all to our heavenly father and Jesus Christ for I know that no matter what, he will always lift my spirit and bring back my life.

  • Its really crazy how my friend showed me this video not knowing what i was going through but i am going through all this its all been apart of my live the drugs, suicidal, going after girls, depression about my band and just everything, and not feeling loved this is testimony is amazing and just fits my pieces.

  • i'm not religious at all but this is an awesome video. i never knew what kind of stuff jake was into and after hearing this i have even more respect for him and his beliefs than i already did.

  • Name of the song is Hope by The Ember Days

  • Im not gonna lie i cried i feel the exact same way ive been tired of my life and have thought about alot of bad things and to know that im not alone theres other people out there my heros who have been where im at and can show that things will get better just says everything to me and has really changed me. 

  • Wow this really gives me a new perspective

  • Just another reason to like this band.

  • I'm an atheist, but this makes me feel really good and warm inside :)

    Life is happiness, do what you love, only then will you live <3

  • @SylarTheBest Exactly how I feel this video is amazing

  • Over 14,500 views, 0 dislikes. That's respect. I remember when god came into my life as well, I'm glad Jake has an audience to share it with.

  • Chills man! So much respect for this guy!

  • Jake is amazing.

  • ah man chills every time i watch this

  • ok im a nihilist but i wanted to cry with this video

  • It doesn't take a god or religion to change your life style for the better.

    People get out of drinking every day and doing nothing meaningful to them with there lives because it's common sense that if you don't like how your living, you can change it.

    Find fulfillment in a hobby, in charity, in friends and family, maybe even in your job.

    It's the greatest lie in Christianity that it takes supernatural powers outside our universe to make life meaningful and worth living.

  • no dislikes, that's how it's done.

    and i had no idea what Jake's life had been like when he was younger, what an inspiration.

  • I seriously...cannot stop listening to this... <3 ABR, <3 Jake, <3 God

  • 0 Dislike < 3

  • I'm not religious at all but he's such an inspiration to people who have went through the things he has gone through. He's amazing.

  • i bought those glasses after I watched this video. haha

  • if i could like this video a million times i would, and then do it a million more times

  • wow. this is really gonna help me :)

  • Jake Luhrs <3

  • i understand drugs and alcohol but giving up sex?? hell no!

  • God is good

  • there's a reason why this video doesn't have any dislikes.

    really fucking awesome.

  • @niluGuitar has 4 diskiles, your argument is invalid.

  • @origross not when i posted the comment... just for you: there's a reason why this video has that many likes ;)

  • im not crying i just drank to much water

    :')

  • i got chills the whole time, hes a great human being

  • @CareyPortnoyBeauford Yes he is. and i did to

  • Man I can relate to Jakes story. I mean not the exact details but just falling completely apart. You feel like you're completely alone and there's no hope but one Jesus speaks to you & you realise that you were actually surrounded by love the whole time. Anyways ABR is an awesome band & I can't wait for their next album. Finally thanks for posting this savchuktras and God bless you.

  • this video sent shivers down my whole body. so meaningfull

  • My band will stand beside August Burns Red, Haste The Day, The Devil Wears Prada, BlessTheFall and all the other Christian bands to make a difference

  • @TheRepentDrums Good luck dude :)

  • @alexmonro83 Thanks Bro.!

  • An inspirational story, of an inspirational man, god is using jake in an awesome way, the way he was meant to be used, I'm glad he didn't kill himself

  • God, i can't stop crying..

  • AWESOME!

  • Most Deff, sometimes it takes rock bottom, but God will show you he's there for you when you need him... Luv this vid :)

  • Best thing I heard in a while.

  • This really got to me and I feel so related to his story. God saves.

  • I wonder why he specifically chose the christian version of god, and not any of the other abrahamic or even ancient religions.

  • I love Jake. A lot. (No homo...) He's so awesome. As someone who looks to people like him for things like this, this video is easily the best.... Jake rocks. God rocks. The way God uses Jake rocks..... Everything about them rocks... God Bless

  • wow. i do not believe in god, but this speech is epic. william jacob luhrs ftw

  • This IS the most inspirational, and powerful video I've ever seen. To think, if Jake would've committed suicide, we would have no ABR or Jake Luhrs :( God saved this mans life, and ABR's life. God IS Great

  • i am not religious, not at all, but after i saw this, i started thinking about the whole god thing. i dont think im going to be religious but i just realized how god can change someones life. and i love how he does it!! and i totally love this man. i totally love ABR!!!!

  • @benrose34 Christianity isn't religion. It's freedom. :)

  • Immense respect for Jake Luhrs right now, immense. Great man, great man.

  • wow thats cool that god stuff is a lil bit much other then that that was cool

  • This song is either "Finger Painting, or Hope" by The Ember Days

  • @camelb0880 it is called Hope :D

  • this really touched me coming from a musician i look up to and listen to thanks so much

  • Such a great video, a side of Jake I've never seen. I love August Burns Red and hope they keep making music for a longgg time.

  • Don't abuse grace, Embrace it.......That really hits home in my life

  • Song By the ember days-music -hope

  • I cried my eyes out when i saw this. God is good... He realy is. God bless jack and god bless ABR.

  • @GeneralGore944 I am glad i posted this then.

  • @GeneralGore944 i saw your comment and i said to myself um ... it's a good video but i don't think i'ld cry and during the last part i could not hold it in, god IS good and he is the most loving being in the universe and i can not explain how grateful i am to have him
