Jordan Peterson on the Power of the Easter Message

Jordan Peterson sat down with EWTN's Colm Flynn to talk about his thoughts on the power of the cross and the Christian Easter message. Jordan spoke to Colm in Holy Rosary Church in Toronto just hours before his wife Tammy Peterson officially entered the Catholic Church.

There is nothing more beautiful than hearing a husband talk so highly and lovingly of his wife. 💜

Jordan opened the doors to Christianity for me several years ago and I did my first communion yesterday in the Catholic Church. He’s truly made an impact on my life. Glory to God in the highest.

[CrestviewCutters]

If not for JP, I would never have humbled myself to God and His Church. Oh merciful Father, please lead this man home who has helped so many of us find our way to you!

[gretchenboyle]

He is so brutally honest about himself. This was his most revealing interview yet about his own faith

Praying for Dr. Peterson, he says he is on the border of things, but God’s love is clearly calling him to the center, to Chris Jesus Himself. Do not be afraid of losing yourself in Christ, because Christ makes all things new. You will not get lost in Christ, you will be found. He will make you the “Self” for which you were truly created. Godspeed.

Jordan was the one who introduced me to classical Judeo-Christian thought almost 2 years ago. Now after the Easter Vigil on Saturday I’m a part of the Catholic Church. He is the beginning of many young men’s journey to traditional Christianity. Even if he himself has not yet committed to Christianity, seeing his love for his wife and his respect for the Catholic Church is amazing.

[Polyester_Avalanche]

The intellect and level of analysis that brings so many people to Jesus through JP is the same intellect that gets in his way of fully surrendering to Jesus. Let's pray that the Lord will transform his heart to be as a 'little child.'

[karenaskenaze]

I am not Catholic. but I praise God for all of this people both Protestants and Catholics.

[gretchenboyle]

God bless the Petersons! God is using them as modern prophets and witnesses. I hope the fullness of redemption is found by him in the Church just like Tammy has found it. I pray for him every day.

[simplelifelost]

I love this man. What a hero he is, in the best sense of that word.

[otineyskciderf]

Let us include him in our daily prayer so that he also comes to the Catholic Church

[deathbreach]

I think Jordan Peterson needs a hug from all the thousands of people he’s helped.
He looks so very depressed lately and I can’t image the hell he’s being put through.

He’s a good man with good intentions, I just can’t believe the amount of evil that exists in this world to be attacking someone who just wants to do right and provide wisdom.

This country is sick Rn, we need big change.

[annac]

This interviewer is humble (a refreshing change). Really enjoyed listening to this.

[michaelschmidt]

This was such a charitable interview, Mr. Flynn. Jordan Peterson is intelligent enough to know that God asks for our complete surrender to His will for our lives. He, “stands at the borders” because he realizes, (more than 99% of humanity) just what that means. His intelligence the gift that holds him back. He realizes that, “To whom much is given, much is expected” and he would be called to an even greater cross than he’s been carrying. What I don’t think he understands is that he is already on The Road……….🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[williampaul]

One of the things I like about Jordan Peterson is just how careful he works to be deeply honest and carefully truthful. With a mind as deep and complex as his this takes care. I listen not only to what he says but how carefully he picks his "words". He KNOWS how important this is to being self-aware and authentic. If "Know thy self" means anything he gets it!

[beuller]

"I exist on the borders of things." Spoken like a man who knows himself. I admire that.

[jessicabarrett]

He has spoken of the sanctifying grace and love of marriage how beautiful. Welcome Tammy to the fullness of the Catholic faith! May God bless her and her family.

[JediSteele]

Dr. Peterson brought me back to God. I am very thankful to have a man such as he to have been a father figure from afar to teach me what it means to be a man.

[nursekate]

People really need to stop pushing Dr. Peterson about his faith. The more we push the more he will pull away. His wife is the best witness for him. Let's just sit back and let God do his work.
