Comments:
10% Christians vs Gays
90% Johnny is amazing!

[magdaleneskebo]

Something that bothers me a lot when I listen to conversations like these is that the Christian’s never interrupt the non Christian’s, and are called hateful and rude, while non Christian’s almost never let the Christian’s get through their whole point. They’re always interrupted

[AlanaRaquell]

The fact that Johnny kept getting interrupted shows he was speaking the full truth and those other spirits were getting agitated

[badabing]

I saw Johnny silently praying through this entire video.

Johnny holding it down for the real Christians

[sonnydee]

"28 years of the Bible." Just because you went to church with your parents for 28 years, that doesnt mesn you studied for 28 years

[kaylahmckinney]

Johnny was Like “Well THE BIBLE SAYS” at the end of the day the word is the word. I love when we can bring it back to the bible as Christians. This is not just a feeling you have to KNOW from the WORD.

[Kris]

Johnny is so humble despite being cut off many times. He remains so gentle and firm in his stance at the same time. He was slow to speak but so full of wisdom whenever he did speak.

[Notentertain]

Johnny’s character is so inspiring. He’s so calm and considerate. Not wanting to engage in arguments

[joyhudson]

At 27:00 I don’t like that Johnny was interrupted like that. He stays calm and respectful the entire time. Like that was so rude.

[Samurai_Sakura]

Kytia is 100% correct. Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship.

[pachiayang]

Johnny represents most Christians I’m friends with. I’m not Christian and it’s so nice to see his presence wasn’t overshadowed by other participants here.

[HouseOfHuelle]

Johnny’s the most grounded and refined representation of a what a Christian should be in my opinion. He has a testimony that’s undeniable and shows the routes humans are capable of taking with a lack of love in an abusive household. The forgiveness he shared about in his testimony reconciling with his father is tear worthy. He’s who a lot of young men need to aspire to act like! He’s at peace with himself through Christ and it shows. He’s a rare breed

[SofiaParisi-udjz]

Everyone's talking about Johnny but Jake is such a sweetheart. Also everyone in this video in general seems so respectful of one another and like they actually hear each other out as see each other as humans and not just as their opinions or beliefs. I think videos and topics like these are important and these people did a great job at finding the middle ground

[dominicgaming]

it’s crazy how they really brought up slavery and colonialism for a justification for why christianity is wrong. i myself am black and i was even able to realize at an earlier age that the slave owners abused different verses but that’s more or so on their character, not Gods

[S_H]

This was the most reasonable, calm Middle Ground episode i have seen. It was nice to have the participants actually talk and listen to each other instead of yell over everyone.

[cnav]

Johnny definitely has the fruits of the spirit. Alot of Christians including myself are lacking in this area. I hope one day to be on his level 😅

[sellou]

just watched this and was really inspired by Johnny. He has so much discernment that he knew when to listen and when to speak, he did not argue or push to answer.

[iwanttobemore]

This was by far my favourite middle ground video ever. It was amazing to see the perspective from both sides and experience this moving conversation.
