I spent the better part of my 20s declaring myself an atheist, rebelling against the roots of my Christian upbringing. I married an amazing man at 21, though we both got away from the faiths of our childhood. I became a mother at 28 and the love I felt as a parent changed my whole perspective of the meaning of life. We began to go to church (in the heart of the bible belt, no less!) and started to turn away from my atheism, realizing that I actually had really misunderstood so much of what I formerly rebelled against. But doubt persisted despite my longing to have bigger faith. I became pregnant with my 2nd child at 29 years old and caught COVID when I was 7 months pregnant. I was pretty bad off, and was placed on a ventilator for 10 days. I woke up in the ICU having no idea that my baby and I had just survived such an ordeal. The nurse told me I was very lucky to be alive and was one of the few pregnant covid mothers on that ward at that time that had bounced back after being put on life support with my baby alive too. The fact that others in my very situation didnt survive is not lost on me. I think about it daily. As soon as the nurse left the room, I surrendered my life to God and thanked Him for giving me a second chance. I may not have all the answers to life, but everyday that me and my son wake up is a gift. I will forever praise Jesus, and idc how crazy it may sound to some.

As a Orthodox Christian there are many reason to attend church. I myself have had so many positive things happened to me from a low point in my life where i actually prayed for things and they came true. I go to give thanks and praise. Sure I can thank God from my bedroom but I believe making the effort to actually go shows my gratitude. Also people go for many other reasons...people who are lonely will met other people that understand and want to reach out to made church for his flock...he doesn't need the church the building but he wants the people to help other people ....the church is people not the bricks and mortar.

I love this video. Haha. I was raised a Catholic and didn’t start taking it seriously until about 3 or 4 months ago. Now that I go to Mass every Sunday and try to follow the commandments of Christ, I’ve never felt or found this much peace and contentment. I cannot even claim I was the one to go back on my own, who called me back? Jesus Christ called me, He made the ultimate sacrifice for us all, it’s about time we sacrifice our egos and time for Him, the only begotten Son of God. God bless you all. Peace be with you.

Thank you Jordan. This was so important to me. I'm going back to church today after hearing this. Because if I don't go...I'm part of the dissolution that allows that which fills the gap. Thank you🙏

As a pastors son, I have absolute empathy for people who are failed by their churches and choose a life without God.
I’ve seen churches with all kinds of environments and a bad church that is run with sin should be casted out, but if you find the right church with an immovable set of faith and values you’ll find true bliss.
Ain’t nothing like pure acceptance of the lost soul by a multiple of people trying to cleanse it and lift the spirit way up!

"and you think religious people are crazy"
rofl that was a beautiful point, brillantly articulated as always

I haven't gone to church in a couple years, just been fighting depression but maybe going back is exactly what I need. I'm also Orthodox and was raised going to a Ukrainian Orthodox church in a small town called Andrew in Alberta Canada. I find something soothing when you attend, the tradition and divine liturgy that has been the same since Christ. There is an English-speaking Orthodox church in my city that I was attending

Love this man, this is really hitting the nail on the head! "You think the Catholics are bad, wait to you see what's coming to replace them". I have been struggling lately in my devout Catholic life but this happens and is normal before a revelation of sorts. I am determined to simplify my life drastically, cutting down on Facebook and Messenger, trips to the city, alcohol, caffeine and sugary treats. Trying to live a simple and earthly holy life everyday at my home, with a good balance of work prayer and gratitude; rarely going out; trying not to chase or change the world but to change myself!

I just wanted to say what a great inspiration you are Mr Jordan. And also I love your great sense of humor. Thank you so much..👍

Thank you JP for helping us in the journey of redemption from abject nihilism.

He has a point here, some of the people that live in this world like to have their cake and eat it too. I understand most of us have some inconsistencies as most humans do, but the degree of inconsistencies that have been growing is unfortunate. I wish all reading to have a spectacular day, and maintain as much sanity as you can in these times.

Jordan Peterson. Wow. Just love the guy!! So glad to see you seemingly healthy once again!! May you and yours be blessed in every way!!

Thanks for sharing. I grew up agnostic/atheistic and was taught general do’s and don’ts by well meaning and loving agnostic parents, but it wasn’t until an existential crisis of sorts in my college years that I began to explore theology. I had a couple of what some might call religious experiences during this time, and I eventually found myself in an Orthodox Church. I was not convinced at first, but I decided to attempt to live as if it was real. It has been 6 months, and the truth of the church has become a truth to me in a self-apparent way - more than I could have imagined. I expect it will continue to convict me of the truth even further so long as I continue on this path. While far from a “perfectly redeemed” soul, and still full of sin and folly, I feel like I am finally on the path towards living a meaningful life in the truest sense as a young man with a young family - the most essential time to develop true meaning. This is thanks largely to the church, and dare I say, entirely thanks to the grace of God whom until recently I denied the very existence of.

It's a shame more people don't think and speak so well. Imagine what colloquial conversation and pop culture could be if it were so.

Sending all my love from South Africa Prof Peterson. You are saving lives by sticking to Truth. ❤❤❤❤

Nietzsche's quote about killing God is always cut off. He says that were drowning in the blood of God because we killed them. Removing God has severe consequences.

What I love about Mr. Jordan’s ability to laugh and get laughs. Nothing is so serious to take away our laughter.

Having a good church to go to is amazing. No church is perfect because as humans, we all have sin in our lives. But having people around to encourage me to strive after Christ in every part of my life has helped me grow both relationally and spiritually, especially through the pandemic.

Jonathan Pageau, the reason I’m now a catechumen. Thanks Jordan for introducing me to Jonathan and thanks Jonathan for telling me to go to church and not be an “internet Christian”. I enjoy it when you get together!
