Brandon Heath - Leaving Eden: The Conversations

[BrandonHeathsGirl]

@brandonheath

Eden: Believe it or not, my Eden is going to your concerts. I get made fun of all the time for listening to Christian music.When I'm singing along with you Brandon, I feel like I can be fully myself. I can open my heart to God, and no one is in the way of that.

Apple: My apple is time.

Heart: Like you, my heart is music. I want to be a Christian singer so bad. It's something I've really always wanted to do. I love the fact that your job is worshiping God. I want to do that.

My Eden-

Leaf: From age 0-5. The backyard of my house on holidays of any sunny warm days.

Apple: My apple is an addiction and no control over some of the choices I make.

Heart: I picture myself being a sucessful marine biologist, a PHd from Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography, and have a beautiful, loving family.

my eden - the bonfires/cookouts we would have at my grandpas house or his sisters house times were always so good so easy. people who are dead were still alive and everyone made time for each other.

my apple - self doubt. I am my own worst enemy.

my heart - my family my friends my future.

[RRSalvageMan]

I never remember or knew an "eden" i my life prior to Christ in me!

My apple is the craziness and rushing around of this culture.

My heart - being the BEST Husband, Dad and Grandpa I can be - so when I'm gone, my family remembers me for the example I was and the impact I left on them of spending time with them!

My eden was my childhood and when I left Islam. but now i don't have a believe. I don't know what to do now. My whole famely are Muslims. i'm the only one who isn't.

My apple is that I like to draw and become an artist. Islam forbids that.

My heart is to tell my parents that i don't want to be a muslim anymore. But i'm to afraid. since i will totally lose my whole famely contact. actually i don't have to tell them i'm not a muslim. it's the same as saying i'm muslim to my parents if i were.

@zafley You must follow your heart. listen closely to your heart, as the fear will leave when you say so.Take care friend and i hope you find the Truth.Seek and find it.

When I heard this song on the radio, KLOVE, yes,LOL, it has always been uplifting, as if it was really saying feels like I'm leaving FOR EDEN, like that when we leave this earth to be with Jesus.

But when I listened here on utube I really didn't understand . LEAVING EDEN , seemed like just the opposite, so whoo la here you are explaining it. THank you again. I get it now. So hard to get back to that "place" but I have recently learned it is important to try and GOd is helping me.

[pbsandcspanwatchit]

THank you for taking the time make this video. VERY important questions, not totally sure of the apple question, wished it was just one thing. I do know this <I could not make it without Jesus. I have had to stop watching the news and rarely read it on the net.  I get so upset. I pray a lot. I do love your music, have it all on one playlist or another. Nice to know you are from TN, me too. Keep up good works , using your gifts for God's glory and uplifting your bros &sis in Christ!

Brandon,

I love your music because the lyrics are thought provoking and really touch the heart. I hope to see you come to Chicago and keep posting these videos. Its so refreshing to listen to your music. Melanie 

[Boarmon]

GOOOD GOOD questions, I really like your channel, so keep on doin' it. OK:

* my Eden? mmm... I don't know so well, but I think that it is all the places where I was when I was a child.

* my apple? mmmm.... maybe the Apple Inc. (hahaha, how obvious, that's the reason for they put that name in their company, hahaha) with the iPad iPod iPed iPid and all that empty and material things.

* my heart? be the person I wanna be, be the professional I wanna be.

I love these questions, very thought-provoking!! Thank you for posing them to us!! :) I'm still reevaulating my life in regards to these questions. :) My heart is so passionate about songwriting/writing, I just don't know where to start...:( My heart hurts because I'm NOT doing what God called me to. In due time though. :) I pray for you everyday...:) But I think you know that :) I think about my Eden everyday :) :) It's always in my heart and on my mind!! :) I can't wait until it's back to me.

Hey Bran..I was just showing a friend this video and listening 2 it again I heard u mention seeing things that u wish u could 4get. There was a very similar time 4 me. As of today I can't remember what those things r.The more I spend quiet alone time in His presence the more the things of this world fade,I 4get about a lot n it's just Daddy n me I think about da time Mary washed His feet with her tears n dried them with her hair n the many times John was in His bosom.Nothing else mattered!

[kenzieel]

My heart is telling me 2 go find Brandon....hmm.... Should I follow that? It's because of all those songs and words that stole my heart , there is something about his voice that's callin me...lol.

[kenzieel]

Isn't the heart deceitfully wicked Brandon? I am not saying that my heart or even yours is wicked, especially since we r born again!!! But what do U think about that scripture? I don't know if I should follow my heart all the time. I do try my best 2 read His Word and be a doer of His word....I see that the more time I spend in His presence the more of His heart He shares with me and that is an awesome fact!! So I guess if His heart is mine.... I can follow......

[newsgirl132]

@kenzieel I think the same too, the bible says that the "heart is deceitful and desperately evil". However I don't think the heart in that aspect is what Brandon means. More like following your dreams if God wills it. :)
