Volvulus - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology - Duration: 6:05.
The term volvulus actually comes from the Latin word volvere, which means "to roll".
So a volvulus is an obstruction caused by a loop of the intestine that rolls or twists
around itself and its surrounding mesentery, which is the tissue that attaches the intestine
to the back wall of the abdomen.
The three most common types of volvulus are a sigmoid volvulus, which happens in the the
last part of the large intestine, leading to the rectum; a cecal volvulus, which happens
in the beginning of the large intestine, and a midgut volvulus, which happens in the small
intestine.
Now, a sigmoid volvulus is the most common type of volvulus, and it can happen in a variety
of settings.
One classic one being pregnancy, because the growing fetus can cause displacement and twisting
of the colon.
It can also develop, though, in middle-aged and elderly individuals.
This can sometimes happen as a result of chronic constipation, where a big load of stool can
act like a pivot point around which the rest of the colon can twist.
Hirschsprung disease, a disease of the large intestine that causes severe constipation
or intestinal obstruction, therefore raises the risk for developing sigmoid volvulus.
In addition, there are also abdominal adhesions, where internal scar tissue creates a physical
attachment between two parts of the abdomen, which again serves as a pivot point around
which the colon can twist.
A cecal volvulus is usually found in young adults, and usually happens in individuals
who didn't develop their abdominal mesentery normally during fetal development.
Since some mesentery contacts may be missing in these individuals, the colon can flop around
freely and any large object—like a baby in pregnancy or a load of stool in someone
constipated—can act as a pivot point in the cecum and cause the colon to twist.
Midgut volvulus is most commonly found in babies and small children and is the result
of abnormal intestinal development in fetuses.
In normal fetal development, the digestive tract starts as a straight tube from the stomach
to the rectum.
For a little while, a part of the intestine protrudes from the abdomen into the umbilical
cord.
Once the fetus reaches around 10 weeks, though, the intestine pulls back out of the umbilical
cord, and returns to the abdominal cavity and makes two turns, so that it is no longer
a straight tube.
Malrotation happens when the cecum and appendix, which are normally found in the lower right
side of the abdomen, stay in the upper right side.
Babies with malrotation can later develop twisting of the small intestine, which is
a midgut volvulus.
In any type of volvulus, a portion of the intestines becomes twisted and it pinches
the lumen shut and results in bowel obstruction, which prevents the normal passage of digested
food and water.
Sometimes, the mesentery can become so tightly twisted that blood flow to that part of the
intestine is cut off, which leads to infarction, or death of the intestinal wall.
This can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from mild bloating and constipation to severe
pain and bloody stools.
In fact, bowel infarction can also cause the intestinal wall to break down and allow the
bacteria in the gut to move into the body, which causes sepsis and the potential for
cardiovascular collapse.
Abdominal x-rays are usually used to diagnose volvulus.
These x-rays show the shape of the volvulus, which can look like a bent inner tube or a
coffee bean.
A barium enema can also be used to show a bird's beak shape, enlarged at one end and
tapered at the other end, which is the point where the bowel is twisted.
A sigmoid volvulus is usually treated with sigmoidoscopy, an examination of the sigmoid
colon using a set of flexible tubes inserted through the anus.
If the tissues look normal and pink, the tubes untwist and decompress the colon to relieve
pressure.
A similar procedure that goes a bit further in, called a colonoscopy, examines the entire
colon and can occasionally be used to resolve a cecal volvulus.
But a midgut volvulus can't be treated with colonoscopy, since it's even further back
in the small intestine.
Normally surgery is recommended within two days of receiving treatment, or, in some cases,
surgery should be performed immediately, like if the bowel is severely twisted or if the
blood supply is cut off.
The normal surgical procedure involves untwisting the intestine, if it hasn't been corrected
yet, and attaching the intestine up against the abdominal wall to prevent it from twisting
in the future.
In severe cases, such as infarction, pieces of the intestine have to be removed, a process
called bowel resection, before the intestine is reattached.
Aright, as a quick recap: a volvulus is a twist in the intestine and surrounding mesentery,
and it's most commonly found in the sigmoid of middle-aged and older adults, the cecum
of young adults, and the midgut, or small intestine, of babies.
Volvulus results in bowel obstruction and can sometimes cause infarction, or death,
of the bowel tissues.
Volvulus is diagnosed using x-rays and is usually treated with surgery to remove part
of the bowel and attach the bowel up against the intestinal wall.

Facebook vs Snapchat - Duration: 8:45.
Hi!
Today I would like to tell you something no one talks about on the Internet,
or at least almost no one.
As you can see in the title before clicking on the video,
because that's what normal people do.
Well I'm going to talk about that sort of war opposing Facebook to Snapchat.
What you need to know first is that it's an one-sided war,
because only Facebook is participating, Snapchat doesn't really care.
First I'm going to contextualize.
Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and is the most famous and used social media
in the world with more than a billion active users everyday.
In 2012 they purchase Instagram for the price of a billion dollars,
you'll see, this info will be useful for later in my explanation.
On the other hand, there is Snapchat, an app created in 2011 by Evan Spiegel,
who is today the youngest billionaire in the world,
replacing Mark Zuckerberg, very funny.
Really funny.
And the Snapchat app is developed by Snap Inc,
founded in September 2016, the parent company which comes ahead,
exactly like Alphabet and Google.
This is where it's becoming interesting.
In 2012, Facebook launch Poke, an app which is a near-exact copy of Snapchat
precisely to compete with Snapchat.
Of course it doesn't take off and compensate that failure,
Facebook tries to buy Snapchat for $3B.
Not that much...
Of course Snapchat declines and from there Facebook starts the hostilities .
It's insane, insane, from there... woooh.
Ouch aaah, I punched the wall.
And then it's the beginning of countless attempts from Facebook to get to Snapchat's level.
Spoiler alert: they don't succeed.
Ah shit, I'm bleeding...
And it continues in 2014 with this time an app called Slingshot.
Still the same concept, although slightly different this time,
you need to send a picture to see one,
it's complicated, not practical, one again a Snapchat copy and another failure.
We're in 2014 and there is ONCE AGAIN an app which allows
to send to send destructibles items.
This time it's from Instagram and it's called Bolt, it's the same concept as Snapchat
but way less better than Snapchat.
An umpteenth attempts which is going to end in the depths of Internet.
We suppose that they understood their lesson at Facebook,
trying to create an app too similar to Snapchat, it's going nowhere.
So Zuck has an idea.
They are now going to only take pieces of Snapchat.
And they are going to add them in Facebook products.
So in 2015 appear the Disappearing Messages,
a feature only tested in France.
It's the outbreak, absolutely everyone is using them.
By mistake...
...but everyone is using them.
You perhaps remember, you had the ability to enable them
to send messages which an hour later wouldn't exist anymore.
I know a lot of people who activated this option,
I don't know anyone who activated it on purpose.
Today this feature isn't available because to send those kind of messages
you just have to use the Snapchat chat.
Becomes it's where the idea come from.
Way more practical.
I did a Snapchat story about the upcoming subject, those who follow me, probably saw it.
torresromain on Snapchat
Early 2016, Facebook purchased the app MSQRD,
developed by a Belorussian startup, Masquerade.
Exactly the same as the Lenses on Snapchat.
How is that? You don't know what the Lenses are?
Of course you do, those Augmented Reality animations that y'all are calling "filters" or "effects"
and which aren't funny anymore since the day we puked rainbows.
Yep... since the first day.
MSQRD still exists and it's an alone app
not very famous and useless, mainly when you know that you can do the same on Snapchat.
Directly IN Snapchat.
Next thing is heavy, originality speaking with the Messenger Codes.
You maybe missed it, I didn't,
when you go on your profile for the Messenger app,
you can see that code which oddly reminds us of Snapchat's snapcodes.
So yes, I know QR Codes weren't invented by Snapchat,
but the concept to add someone on social media using a flashcode comes from them.
Contrary of snapcodes that I've seen used a lot,
I never saw someone use that.
Actually, I don't even know if a lot of people are aware of that feature.
So, haha, if you think this ends here, you didn't listen since the beginning of this video.
Here's the best thing.
Facebook from now on forbids you to have a snapcode as profile picture.
Proof!
When you can't get to the level of your competitors,
why not prevent them from spreading, easier right?
Yes, easier, way easier.
Vicious but easier.
Personally I changed my snapcode's color to make it white,
so when I had it as profile picture on my Facebook page, it never got noticed.
HEHEHEHE.
Well, time to eat!
Because Facebook is a mainstream social media for the 18-25 years old
and that the best social media for this age rage is Snapchat,
this time they decided to attack differently.
By the way, if you don't believe me, watch my favorite video on Internet, by Casey Neistat.
I put the link in the description, you'll find it.
Lifestage is an app that you can't use if you're over 21 years old.
The concept is for once different of Snapchat but I bet that you didn't hear about it.
At least, it's not very alive for now.
Lastly... We're going to talk about the most outrageous update in the history of social medias.
It's outrageous... It's... It's absolutely insane.
It's an Instagram update.
The arrival of Instagram... stories.
Without a damn concern,
they stoled not only Snapchat's biggest feature's name,
but also stoled the entire fucking idea.
For once, everyone heard about that.
I mean it's so big for an intellectual property theft that we couldn't miss it.
I'm still waiting for Snapchat to drag those thieves of Instagram and Facebook to court,
for that unscrupulous theft,
so they'll get back the billion of dollars they deserve.
Recently Instagram added new features to their stories
that aren't on Snapchat.
And for the first time in this tale,
Snapchat answered to this theft by also adding those features to their stories.
And still today, Instagram is continuously stealing
Snapchat ideas to put them in their stories.
At Instagram HQ, they don't do meetings to now what improvements they can do
for their stories, no no!
They do meetings to know what improvements thay can steal from Snapchat.
If you ask me, I'm 100% team Snapchat stories.
Their stories Instagram, they can make Mark Zuckerberg eat them.
I'm in constant boycott of Instagram stories and I don't hesitate to criticize those who watch some.
Or those who post some.
By the way, there's been a new Snapchat update recently
which was put online the day before I shot this video.
So for you, exactly one week ago.
Yes, i'm uploading this video on the 30th because it's been exactly a year I published my first video here.
It's made as an anniversary.
So, a new version, the 10.0.0.0 version for iOS, a redesign of the app.
With this new version by the way, they announce that they're going to fight fake news,
mostly on Discover, which seems necessary
when we know that in only 10 days governing, Donald Trump and his administration
threw to our faces a lot of "Alternative Facts".
Awesome!
Facebook trying desperately to copy Snapchat, in vain
since Snapchat refused to be bought by the Palo Alto firm.
While the Venice company, has more a strategy which consists in ignoring Facebook's
debacle and let them try everything to get to Snapchat's level.
Snap Inc know that they are above them and don't belittle themselves to Facebook level
trying to simply steal others' ideas.
Though this strategy already worked at Facebook, mainly with Twitter.
Anyhow, Snapchat remains the best social media, head to head with Twitter,
meanwhile Facebook is way behind.
But they though remain first on the market buying everything around them, kind of crazy.
It's the end of this video, next time I'll tell you everything on the Yemenite war
because it's also a not very known conflict and because I love talking about war.
More seriously, like I said earlier, I know have a Facebook page
and if you send me a private message, you'll have an idea of the subject
of my next video which will be there in a few weeks I hope.
If you liked this display of a not very known conflict
you can subscribe and follow me on social medias, all the links are in the description below.
I also put links to deepen your knowledges on the subject.
I'll see you next time and I'm going to leave that way.
I couldn't end this video without introduce you to Snapchat,
the gift my friends gave me for my birthday.
A goldfish!
Yes, absolutely.
Look at him, his in his tank. Quietly.
By the way, they gave him this name, I didn't.
So we're going to close this video by a metaphor.
There, Snapchat doesn't care about Facebook's attacks.

Why Are UFO's & Alien Life Suddenly Being Discussed In The Mainstream - Duration: 3:58.
Why Are UFO's & Alien Life Suddenly Being Discussed In The Mainstream
By: Steve Thresher.
There was a time when the mainstream press would only cover aliens and UFO�s if it
were a satirical piece, after all aliens were relegated to the realm of tin foil hats and
science fiction.
Recently however more and more publications are talking about the possibility of alien
life like it is becoming science fact.This open discussion of these topics in publications
such as The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Metro, The Huffington Post and even Sky News to name
a few.
The headlines openly discuss the possibilities of alien life and the vastness of space and
the likelihood we will find life.NASA have been have made countless discoveries in recent
years that indicate that planets in our own solar system were once alive and had water
flowing on the surface.
The Telegraph in 2011 would run headlines such as �Alien Life Deemed Impossible�.
Professor Brian Cox who holds great sway over mainstream audiences when it comes to space
ad the unknown also stated that alien life was impossible.
Last December former MoD Nick Pope discusses the possibility that the government was prepping
us for alien disclosure through our news and media outlets, by openly discussing these
subjects and slowly introducing the concept that it may be true over time you can condition
the public to accept the news without fear.
Nick Pope said, �it wasn�t long ago that UFO shows were consigned to networks like
Syfy, but there are now only a tiny handful of channels that won�t touch the subject.
It�s gone from fringe to mainstream in a matter of a couple of years.
Is this part of a campaign to acclimatise people to an extra-terrestrial reality, ahead
of an official announcement?
Is Disclosure just around the corner?�The UK government is also set to declassify more
of its �X Files� and make them publicly available on the National Archives in late
2015.
Nick Pope said, �This is a hugely embarrassing situation for the government."Last summer
they told the media and the public that yes, this was absolutely all the UFO files and
there was a big fanfare about this being the end of a five year programme to declassify
and release the entire archive.
Now they say, 'Oh, wait a minute, we've found a whole bunch of further UFO files'�.
This combination of declassifying government documents and widespread media coverage of
aliens and UFO�s seem to be gearing us up to accept they exist on mass.
Even today (Jan 16) the mainstream press are publishing article about the search of life
sustaining planets and how thousands more have been dicovered.It was just the other
week that NASA were saying they have thousands of life sustaining planet candidats.
The concept of alien life is without doubt slowly being introduced to the public consciousness.
What do you think, are we being prepped for a big disclousure
in 2015?

How To Communicate Like Jesus In A 2017 Digital World - Duration: 1:53.
- One thing I hear churches say a lot is,
"We want to communicate the way that Jesus did it,"
or, "We want to do it the way that Jesus did it."
When I say that I think of one very important factor
of the way that Jesus communicated
back two millennia ago.
There's this great book by Robert Stein
it's called The Method and Message of Jesus' Teachings.
In his book, he takes inventory of all
of Jesus' teachings throughout the synoptic gospels,
that's Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
He takes inventory or all the times
that we have recorded moments of Jesus teaching.
He finds that no less 35% of the time
Jesus is communicating and teaching through story.
To put that in perspective,
at the very least one third of the time
that Jesus is teaching, he's using storytelling.
Jesus understood neuroscience and that element
of human communication back then
the way that we do now.
We know now storytelling is the most powerful form
of human communication.
It drives empathy in us, which is the only,
storytelling's the only thing that does that.
It also forces us subconsciously to pay attention.
No other form of communication can do that.
So, if you're saying, "I want to communicate
"more like Jesus at my church.
"I want our to share the gospel,
"the message of hope, the message of redemption
"and reconciliation, the greatest story ever told,"
as we like to call it, "I want to do that more like Jesus."
If you want to do that, tell more stories.
Become a storyteller.
Build the culture of storytelling within your church.
Let me ask you, when was the last time
that a Sunday worship experience,
a Sunday service at your church had no less
than one third of the content devoted to storytelling?
I'm not talking about your pastor getting up
to preach from the pulpit
and sharing a funny illustration
to start of his or her message.
I'm talking about storytelling in a real authentic way.
Focus more on that, devote yourself to that,
learn the skill of storytelling,
become a storyteller and you'll be communicating
more like Jesus than you were before.

that you want to start, or want to
continue, or maybe just want to skip
altogether. The Young Elites is a YA fantasy
and I once heard it described as X-men set
in Renaissance Italy and I feel like
that is a great description for it. I
definitely don't disagree. The characters
in the story do have powers that are
pretty reminiscent of the X-men and
Renaissance Italy was Marie Lu's
inspiration for this world. To give you
more detail about it, this is a high
fantasy series, so it's set in a world
unlike our own. There are maps in the
front of each of these three books and
it is about a world where an illness has
swept through the land. The people
that were unaffected by it, they are just
normal people, they are the ones that are
in power, and then the people who were
affected by the illness - a lot of them
died but the ones that survived it were
left with these scars and these markings,
and our main character is one of the
people who was afflicted by this illness
and she has scarring up the side of her
face and onto her head, so it actually
caused her to lose her eye and it turned
her once black hair to silver white.
The people that have these markings are very
easily recognizable and so because of
that people think they're dirty and they
really face a lot of oppression - they
aren't fed enough, they aren't paid enough.
Some of the people who were marked by
the illness were also granted the
ability to change the elements around
them. Not everyone that was marked bythe
illness has them but a select few do and it
becomes apparent pretty early on that
Adelina actually has some of these
powers. She has the ability to cast
illusions, so she can make anybody see
whatever she wants them to see. When
her powers manifest, this like secret
society group finds her and kind of
takes her in under their wing. This
particular group is looking to restore
justice to the kingdom and they take Adelina in
in hopes of training her and having her
on their side. She doesn't necessarily want to
use her powers for good. A lot of people
have called this trilogy a villain origin
story and that is another pretty good
description of it. Adelina struggles with
her inner darkness and the thing that
makes her such a compelling character is
she knows what she's doing is wrong and
she does kind of struggle with it.
Sometimes she can do the right thing. You
know that she is capable of doing good
as well, and I think that's something that's
great about all of the characters in
this story. Even the heroes are very often
deceptive even towards each other. They
have their own personal agenda. And the
villains in this story
sometimes are motivated by love. I
really just enjoyed how sometimes you didn't
know who you wanted to root for. Were you
rooting for the good guys or the bad
guys? Did you want Adelina to slay
everybody or did you want her to be
taken down? The characters are very
complex in terms of just like their
internal morality, theor integrity. They
felt very real. I think that Marie Lu writes
wonderful characters and this group of
characters that we follow are very
diverse as well. They are diverse in race
and sexuality. I also think that the idea
of this illness having marked some people
who are discriminated against was a
really great way to examine oppression
and privilege of society and you wonder
what's going to happen. Like, if the
tables are flipped are the people who were
once oppressed gonna rise up and
do the same thing back to their
oppressors or are they going to stop
that cycle? I really enjoyed the plot of
this trilogy. I thought that the writing
moved it along really well. I was gripped from
almost the beginning. There are at times
moments where I feel like the pacing of
these books were a little bit slow
because you spend a lot of time
preparing to do something and then it
would happen all of a sudden, and then you'd
go back to preparing for the next
thing and that would happen all of a sudden,
but I was always impressed with how things
were unfolding. Unfortunately the
series doesn't have as much hype as it
deserves. This is a really strong and
complex world, strong and complex
characters. I really enjoy the themes
that it explores and how each of us can
make the decision to do the right thing
or do the wrong thing and unfortunately
this one doesn't get as much hype and I think maybe
that's because some people think the
characters are unlikable, or maybe
because this one doesn't rely on a ton
of romance - there is some romance in here but
it's not very heavy - and it also doesn't rely
on twist after twist after twist. The things
that came along that surprised me were
things that I felt were very natural and
they weren't that surprising because I felt
like I knew that was going to happen but I just
can't believe how Lu wrote this, you
know? So I was always impressed by the
series but I don't think it relies on
gimmicks as much as other series do and
the finale was, it just, it left everything
so satisfied for me. I did notice last
year that most of the fantasy series I
finished, the last book in the series
would leave me very underwhelmed, and when
I finished this series I was just kind of
sitting there like, 'that was fulfilling!'
Like that is what I want when I have a
series ending. I think that she wraps
everything up very well. She takes risks.
All three of the books in the series
kill characters off - I'm not going to tell you who -
but there's constantly that risk of
these characters may not survive. And at
the end and there are a lot of risks, it
doesn't take the easy way out. Everything
that happened, you understand why it happened,
you understand why the characters were
acting that way and exactly what the end
result of their actions were going to be,
and even though sometimes the series is
dark I do still feel like it leaves you
with hope. So I was very fulfilled with
the ending to the series. I definitely
felt like it was one worth finishing,
worth reading all three books of. I was
very impressed with book 1, it took me a long
time to get around to reading book 2 -
it took me like 2 or 3 years between the
first two books to even continue with
the series - but when I picked up book
2 I was just really glad I got back
into it. So overall this is a series that I
really enjoyed and I would personally
recommend it, especially if you like YA
fantasy or you like that combination
of the X-men set in renaissance Italy. I
do think that is a pretty apt
description. I thought the characters are
complex, the world is complex, the story was
unique, the cast was diverse, the plot was
interesting and gripping, I was very
invested in it. So yeah, I liked it and I
would recommend it. If you guys have
read this one and you didn't like it as
much please let me know why down below,
because I would like to hear a different
perspective on it, or if you read it and
you loved it let me know that, we can
gush about it together. Or if you're just
thinking about reading it hopefully
you'll let me know if this video was
helpful at all.
I hope I gave you guys a good overview of the
series even though it was a little bit
less structured than normal. Thank you guys so much
for watching and I will see you in the comments. Bye!

January | Sarah May - Duration: 3:57.
*clapping*
Hey and welcome to the thing that I'm probably going to be doing every single month for the
year of 2017.
The last day of every month I'm going to upload a little chat kind of recap thing of the month.
Ignore my very shiny face, it is hot because it's summer, Australia, you get the point.
This thing's probably gonna have a format, but this format's not finalised yet so I'm
gonna go with a format that I kinda have now.
So what I did in January.
I started this month on placement for my very very first placement in an actual vet clinic,
then I had three weeks off where I just caught up with friends, I had a friend from New Zealand
here, I had a friend from Brisbane here, all my friends just caught up quite a bit, and then
at the end of this month I'm going on another round of clinical placement, and then I
start uni... oh god.
It's been a pretty eventful month actually, um, it's currently the Saturday and I start
work on the Monday so it's- I've only got today and tomorrow left of my summer break,
little bit sad about it.
Been doing a lot of things like going on walks on the beach with my boyfriend or getting
coffee with mum or like going shopping with friends or just chilling and having games
nights with friends, it's- it's been wonderful, I'm not gonna lie, it's been great.
How I'm feeling.
At the moment, I'm feeling very sweaty, you can probably see that.
But that's not actually an internal feeling, so how am I feeling?
I'm actually feeling pretty good because I absolutely love having time off from uni, holy.
I just love not having to study and being able to make videos or play The Sims or just
do what I want with my time without feeling guilty for not studying, and it doesn't happen
very often at all because of placements and stuff so to have the last three weeks off
has been great.
At the same time, feeling sad that my holidays are nearly over.
I'm not really feeling any kind of deeper emotions because I've found that when I'm
on these kind of holidays where I have three weeks off, I kinda go on autopilot and I'm
just focusing on enjoying myself because it's the only time of the year that I can do that.
Life is simple, for this month at least.
What's coming up with my life?
I am going to be doing three weeks of clinical placement, my second round so hopefully I'll
be doing some actual cool things.
Hopefully surgeries, hopefully like putting catheters in, you know, all that kind of fun,
kind of gross probably to some people stuff.
And after that I start uni, great.
I'll be starting my fourth year, which is kinda terrifying, it's my last year of classes,
my last year of like content and I have like double the amount of exams that I normally
do so it's gonna- it's already stressing me out, haven't even started but I've heard horror
stories... nyeh!
So I may take a social media break, but that will be explained in a channel update video
later in February.
And last thing I think I'm gonna finish with a kind of little segment thing of like YouTube
channels that I have been loving.
My number one, my number one for like the last however many months has been Beth Blvd.
Oh Beth, you have actually- you've like- I'm sorry I'm kinda like stealing your monthly chat format.
Borrowing, not stealing.
Is anything original on YouTube anymore?
I absolutely adore Beth's videos.
She does real artsy kind of I don't even know how to explain it, just real artsy stuff,
it's beautiful.
A recent discovery of mine has actually been NerdyAndQuirky, and yes she does some kinda
historical stuff that I'm not really a huge fan of but I'm more a fan of like her comedy
stuff because I like watching comedy videos, that's no secret.
And as usual my inspirations of all time is Anna Akana and communitychannel.
I'm going to stop there, there will potentially be some more in the description if I think
of any because I love small creators, bigger creators, I love so many different creators.
I love YouTube content!
So that is my January, this is hopefully gonna be a monthly thing, as I said on the last
day of every single month regardless of what day of the week that is, it might be a bonus
video or it might be my only video for that week, depends on how I'm going.
So yeah please let me know if you like like life update videos and if monthly is too often
to have them, but I'm probably gonna do it anyway because fuck what other people think!
So thank you for watching, thank you for caring enough about me to watch a life update video
and I will see you whenever my next video goes up, bye!

Why Many Christian Men Remain Single | Christian Singles - Duration: 7:31.
In today's video, I'll be sharing with you why many Christian guys remain single!
Stay tuned!
Hey guys, my name is Justin and I want to welcome you to That Christian Vlogger, a place
where you get to join me and experience Faith in the First Person.
On this channel I talk about relevant issues of faith for young people every single Monday
and Thursday, so definitely consider subscribing!
Also, if you want to be notified of when new videos come out, don't forget to hit that
bell icon as well.
So I a few weeks ago I released a video on why so many Christian girls remain single
and truth be told, I wasn't planning on going any further with it.
I didn't really have any plans to do a video on Christian dating directed towards men…
but a lot of you asked for it, so here we go!
Oh, which reminds me, by the way, if there are other videos you want me to do, comment
below because I am listening :)
Reason #1 Christian Guys Remain Single: Too many Christian guys are boys, not men
Fact, no REAL woman one wants to be married to a child.
And listen, I'm a pretty independent person and I love playing video games as much as
the next guy- but some of us, we just take it too far.
So many guys who are well into their 20's and 30's and 40's live as though their
still 18 years old.
No job, no idea of what to do with their lives- just wasting away the days drinking and partying
and screwing around.
And while I could talk about the morality of that from a Christian perspective, which
I won't- not in this video at least, the simple practicality of it is that this is
not what women are looking for.
At least not women of quality.
You might find the occasional immature girl who also has yet to grow up and is interested
in those same types of things, but this isn't really the kind of person you want to be spending
your life with.
Men of quality tend to attract women of quality.
So stop being such a boy, grow up and become a man.
And not the kind of raw meat eating, bear wrestling, gun shooting, beard growing caricature
of a man society says you're supposed to be (especially that beard growing part- totally
overrated).
But spend time becoming the type of man God calls you to be.
One of maturity, consistency, decisiveness and strength.
By the way, I totally took those four things from this book I've been reading called,
"Four things women want from a man" by A.R.
Bernard in case you want to read more on this.
Reason #2 Christian Guys Remain Single: No Understanding of Calling
One reason why I think many Christian guys struggle to find quality women is that they
don't have a true sense of their calling in life.
Now I've mentioned multiple times in other videos that I've done that your calling
isn't necessarily always your career and I should add that I've found in life that
your calling in life does tend to evolve over the course of your life.
But think to yourself, do you have a general sense of your purpose in life?
Do you understand why God has placed you on this Earth and are you actively pursuing that
calling?
Think about it like this, in the book of Genesis, before Adam ever was introduced to Eve- he
already had an understanding of his calling.
He already had a ministry and a job that God had given Him to do and was actively furthering
that cause.
I believe that before God leads you to that special someone or leads that special someone
to you, He first wants to see if you are already following Him in this area of your life.
And this just makes sense!
God wired men in such a way that we identify so strongly with our calling.
When guys meet for the first time, once we know each other's name, the first question
we ask each other is, "what do you do?"
There's something about how God has created us as men where we are incomplete without
purpose or a calling in our life.
And if we're incomplete, its no wonder our relationships tend to struggle.
Because we're still a fraction of what God has created us as men to be.
Reason #3 Christian Guys Remain Single: paralysis by analysis
Ok, so let's say you're not one of those boys who is just out there to play games with
other peoples hearts.
You're serious about your relationship with God and you have an understanding of your
calling.
Sure you might not be perfect, but then again what Christian guy out there is right?
Then one last thing I would say that many Christian guys get wrong is summed up in this
phrase, "paralysis by analysis."
So many guys get caught up asking the dreaded "what if?"
question instead of acting doing.
What if she says no?
What if it's awkward?
What if things don't work out?
What if things do work out?
What if she's interested in someone else?
What if she doesn't like me?
And the list goes on and on and on!
So many guys mistakenly think that they have to have everything figured out before they
even talk to a girl.
Some guys, in their quest to be the best follower of Jesus they can be, make the mistake of
thinking that they have to be perfect and ready for translation before talking to a
girl.
News flash, if you talk to anyone who has been married for even the smallest amount
of time, they will tell you that the growth does not stop with dating or marriage.
In fact, both dating and marriage have led me to some of the biggest seasons of growth
that I've ever experienced as a man.
So if you're one of these Christian men who already have covered some of these bases
that I've talked about- you already have a consistent relationship with God, you're
mature, decisive, consistent, and strong then go forward.
Take a risk and give it a shot.
Yeah, I get it- it's scary some times.
There is a somewhat decent chance that things won't work out the very first time.
But it doesn't mean that it's not worth it.
As C.S. Lewis put so magnificently, "To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal.
Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements.
Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.
But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change.
It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
To love is to be vulnerable."
Go and be vulnerable.
Move forward in the fear of God and give it a shot.
Be a man.
Thanks so much to you guys for commenting below and suggesting this video.
As always, these are just one mans thoughts and I'm curious to know what you think.
Did I miss a big reason as to why many Christian guys are still single?
And what's some advice that you would give on Christian dating to our single guys out
there?
Before you go, if you enjoyed this video, give it a thumbs up and share it with a friend.
