"Dear Christians" is a poem/thank you letter based around the morals and standards in which I believe all believers should live by. Principles like loving people exactly where they are at (Mark 12:31, Matthew 5: 43-48), withholding judgement while embracing accountability (Matthew 7: 1-5, Proverbs 27: 17), to have grace and forgive others (Matthew 18: 21-22, Romans 3: 20-24), and most importantly following in the steps of Christ (1 Peter 2: 21).
This video is credited to Cleve Brown and Titus Franklin Jr. who did the film work. I edited all of the footage. Thank you to the beautiful city of Santa Cruz, California and the DOPE workers at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk who let us on site early. The album this is on is entitled #InMyThoughts and is available on iTunes at the link below.

Brandon, your best yet! I am proud to be your Father-in-Law and grateful that God has placed you in my Daughter's life. Dad.
HI!
Great you giving flowers while alive!!
Amen
After AGT............I could tell he was genuine. You must be ecstatic about his win and your beautiful granddaughter. Brandon was amazing and he deserved the win! Congratulations.
You have been truly blessed with a man who loves God with his whole mind, body and soul and therefore can wholeheartedly love his wife, daughter and all of his family. Simply because His eyes are upward focused on God. Amen
For my beautiful mother. I recognize her in your words. ❤️🌹
FROM an old southern white man- please don't stop doing what you do- you have touched my heart with your poems -i've always loved and have never been able to spread this love like you do--you could save the world --please do -all love
The Poets of Christ are growing in number, relevance, and power...May the churches listen.
Thank you for this video! It is worth to be heared. I am from Ukraine. I have the same beliefs. Thank you sooo much for these words. It is ... very very important
"Understand that being saved don't make them perfect, but being human mad them perfect enough to die for".... This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift, words like these have power to communicate what many of us either want to say but can't, and need to hear, but won't always listen to.
I really love what you are able to convey thru words. Love does seem to be departing as we see more darkness coming. I would the remind Christians because we love we fight for what's right in the face of adversity. To be the church and a true Christian we must be willing to fight to protect freedom by which the church operated freely in. We must have watchmen who in discipline selfless love warns of danger so we protect the gates from enemy attack. For the true Christian love is seen in many forms. Some not Pleassnt and easy to do but must be done to protect and also the country she has flourished in. Love is not fearful or unbelieving..it's bold and loves truth.
Absolutely incredibly phenomenal! Use you gift that the Lord gave you. I am in awe of you this 64 year old white female minister . Job well done thy good and faithful servant.
Brandon, I have never seen Howie as excited over anyone as much as you tonight..and you are worth it. To see your humility when you won was priceless. God has set your family in a great position to be all you want your family to be. I keep looking on google and KZhead for more of your spoken word. I hope I can hear more. #winnerforGod
This is the Christian I strive to be.
It is stunning how much humanity, compassion, and love for our fellow man has been driven out of us. When we are reminded of what we are supposed to be it feels like a long draw of ice-cold water over a parched throat. All at once, refreshed and grateful. You don't have the ears of all that should hear you, but keep ascending. The world is desperate for these words.
BRANDON:: Omgoodness! I was praying you would win brother!!! When the season started & you had entered the contest, it was the year(decade) of PEY on Hebrew calendar. Pey is symbolized by the mouth. With all the trash talk & mouth covering this year, 2020, YOU BRANDON, YOU used your gift of words & won a million!!! Praise The Lord! I've been waiting for a strong believer to SPEAK the name of Jesus publically & proclaim His Glory. YOU DESERVE IT FOR STANDING TRUE TO YOUR FAITH....& GIFTS. SO Ecstatic for you & your young family!!!!!!!!
Sitting here with tears streaming down my face. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you Brandon... soooo refreshing and worth listening to.. please don’t stop here , I pray you continue to spread His love and be a light in this dark world and I just want to say ... Thank You Brandon ❤️🙏
A few days after AGT win, I found this video. Of all of your work this poem speaks to me the most because I long for the day when the church is the Church, capital C Church. In our hearts we're undivided in Love, capital L Love.
I have a little boy from a rape he's adopted by loving family but I hope he goes up just like you. You are talented and blessed young man. Many blessings to you and your family and your mother
You're the best gift I got this year. Found your poem on FB while watching AGT! So happy to be your sister in Christ. I was watching and wondering why you didnt get 100,000,000 views cos you deserve even more than that. I however realized that the message you carry and your love for Christ might not be as popular as all the secular messages out there! But you know what, your treasures are being laid where moth and rust will not destroy. Of what use are wordly goods when you're laying treasure up in heaven! Keep doing what youre doing. I love poetry now because of you
Congratulations BRANDON! You did it! You made a HUGE difference. Never stop! #1 AGT 9/23/2020🌹
You don’t know me but now I know you. You are a gift to all of us.

It’s April 2021 and I just heard this poem. I am moved. I guess that was the intention hence your logo, Called To Move. When I listen to your poetry/spoken word, I am reminded of what poetry is supposed to FEEL like. Never lose your touchstone in the world and never stop doing what you were doing at the moment you wrote this poem. Keep listening to the calling. Keep moving.
Preach and teach, brother! And thank YOU.
This guy is amazing now and then... I love his spoken word! Bless with the gift of gab!
I hope I'll always remember to be one of those Christians❤🙏❤
Brandon Leake..i am always moved by your poetry.. Your big fan from Uganda

I love you sir !
You are amazing! I can’t believe how you interacted with my family this past Saturday evening when you performed in Vegas. You took my entire family’s photo. You are a man of God that won’t ever be overlooked! Keep at it! You are real and you will always be respected. Your book is amazing! Keep on pushing! Would you be interested in speaking at our church in Phoenix? It is CCV. Where the church is the people and not the building! God bless!

Congratulations Brandon!! I’m so glad you won. You are awesome! Keep on speaking beautiful poetry.
Beautiful soul, Thank you!
Thank you!
I pray you can be on News media platforms to read, uncensored, DEAR CHRISTIANS so your words can be heard by those who are, and those who are not. Hoping that those who are not, may listen again.
Brandon, how can I buy your spoken word in written form? Do you have a book published?
You're wellcome 😊
Well said young man. Love you and I don't even know you.
By Travis of Bickley A Filtering Light A light so bright; a filtering one... that shines on you, but soon is gone. Come back, come back, Oh filtering light. Its your love I lack That gives me flight! I would soar so far into your realm, asking for this scar of mine to heal. I cannot look you in the eye to ask you for your healing light. It does seem fit... It doesn't seem right. If you could just shine your weakest beam upon my soul so wounded, it would seem that then, I could bare my nakedness to you and into your care. Thank you, God for your filtering Light... and a filtering light it must be. Lest we go blind looking upon your face Lord and all your glory.
Beautiful!!
@@esthercsainteloi2775 Thank you Esther. Tell me about you. And I'll tell you about me...Do you write?
@@travissweat9098 no I don’t! But man it’s a breath of fresh air!!!
@@esthercsainteloi2775 I have a book's worth of poems, prose, essays, epiphanies, ideas. or other strangenesses.
Things I Hate by Travis of Bickley I hate sending these to people I love, but you and Pittypat and Heartattack are the only ones who would even read it to be courageous enough, to relate to it. But they are dark and deeply troubling to the reader, I am sure. I appreciate your strength and bravery in our exchanges. It must be wrenching at times...It is for me in just the writing. I feel it all as I write it. The words comes from a place or places either real or imagined. Which in the end, is one and the same, is it not?

im not in2 poet.. but damn Brandon u 2 damn good keep it up
Would you allow this to be played on the radio. I produce a radio program that is a hymn program on a not for profit radio station. I play hymns but I also read the hymns during the program. Include spoken word in program would be a big step, but this poem captivated me
Hi I was really impressed with your work. I'm just starting my page hope to be as good as you. inSANitySAYS
"Walk on gaunt shores....." (verse from a poem by Robinson Jeffers, ADVICE TO PILGRIMS)..... i think he was saying something else than what you're saying, but......... it's SO easy for a Black HOMELESS person to suddenly one day wander off out of 'Oak-Town' on foot into 100,000 acres of PUBLIC lands in the East Bay hills, around sunset! it's a long HIKE, but worth the weekend alone with a 2-liter bottle of water and some old bagels!..... wow! to just stand there ALONE among the shadowy trees at night! (MILES DAVIS used to escape all the awful drugs & guns in Harlem to his father's 80-acre farm in Indiana!.....) ..........BLACK CHURCH vans should offer a service of hauling backpacks, food, and water for these MUCH NEEDED weekend vacations! if you can HIKE into the forest, then you've EARNED the extra help from these churches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....
sas asmr
Are you still a Christian sir?Where is your Home Church?
Hey Brandon, it’s Tyler Riddell man. I got a new phone recently and lost all my contacts. Message me bro so we can catch up.
Vapid and Pretentious.
