you know it's gonna be good when YouTube puts the "Context" ribbon underneath it.

[CJDavis-jsmr]

This is my first time watching this show and I must say the host is a great interviewer! Personable, curious, intelligent, and asking real questions

I've wrestled with God, for 53 years.

I thought I was an atheist, I headed a large secular organisation.

Despite my arguments, something always nagged at me.

In 2010 my son was seriously ill, he started having focal seizures and ended up on life support. The child in the bed next to him died the third night he was in hospital. Our son was in a coma, they told us he might not make the next 24 hours.

I remember being alone and begging God to save my son, I prayed hard, I mean really hard, it was overwhelming. As I was praying I found solace, I found something that told me everything was going to be alright.

This went on for 6 hours, I was utterly exhausted.

The next day the doctors told us they were going to start transferring his breathing from the machine to my son, the process took 6 hours.

On the 5th hour he took over the breathing despite the doctors believing he wouldn't.

He came out the coma, he was blind in one eye and lost his ability to speak but over the next few months he completely recovered.

I've prayed every night since.

My son is now 16, he's 6ft4" and super smart. I mean really smart, confident and unbelievably fit and healthy.

I believe he is meant to be here for a reason. Everyone who meets my son is fascinated by him for some reason, he's magnetic. He commands the room.

We hear people say "that boy is going to change things" and "that boy can do whatever he wants"

I believe God listened that day, he gave us such a gift.

I've been following Peterson for 6 years and recently converted to Catholism in March. It's really interesting to see these 2 parts come together since it has been reflected in my life

[SeekingtheKingdom_]

Peterson’s self reflection and slowness to give an answer to a deep question is something I truly respect.

“There’s a lot of things worse than death.”

[gems]

Personally - as a big Peterson fan - this has to be the best podcast conversation I've listened to with him 100%

[hymncr]

The catholic church is in fact experiencing a rennaisance. It is heartening to see so many great minds and people of good conscience saying yes to God.

[MrAngelJem]

The ability to pause, to leave silence is so rare... but Matt has it. There's a moment when he asks a question about death and the pause is a few seconds long. The temptation to fill it with an um, an aha or even a further question or softener would be great... and Matt lets it sit. Exactly what Jordan needed to put the right words he needed to convey in place. One of the best interviews by either I've seen.

[lisahorth]

Newly baptized Roman Catholic here (just this past Easter Vigil -- thanks be to God 🙏), and I have to say this might be my favourite interview of all time. Both PwA and JBP have really helped me to get my head (and, even more importantly, my heart and soul) straight after years of depression, anxiety and addiction (+ leftism 😜) in the Orwellian hellscape that Canada tragically seems to be falling into, and I truly thank everyone involved in this production from the bottom of my heart. ❤

In particular, I found Dr. Peterson's explanation of the staff of Moses very helpful, as I have struggled with witnessing the Passion (the more I come to know and love Jesus, the more it hurts to see Him suffer even as a reenactment, a sentiment to which I expect many fellow viewers can relate...?). Tying it back into the Old Testament was an inspired stroke of genius, and I feel like I deeply understand for the first time why God sometimes calls us to face the worst of the worst.

I can't speak for anyone else of course, but this is my testimony at least and, as I continue to grow in the faith, I'll be praying for everyone listening and for the conversion of all souls to our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless 🕊

[brucewayne]

Looking forward to this one. We got JP on PWA now we need Jimmy Akin on Joe Rogan.

[ryanalexander]

I really respect how you kept pushing Dr. Peterson to clarify not only your questions answers, but also what he means.

[alaincharette]

Dr. Peterson sounds so angry, frustrated, with the brokenness of the human race, there's a sadness in his heart, his awareness seems heavy on his inner peace, he needs a break for his peace of mind, he is so interesting, intelligent, he has a great wisdom, I don't know what I am seeing, but he seems like he needs a break, live, love with his family, I pray that God brings him peace of mind. God bless you and mother Mary hold your heart.

“The most corrupt people will always try to corrupt what is highest” what a great quote

[idaclement]

Almost 3hrs of Peterson straight...so much energy & so much passion.

[catherinehenry]

Matt, you did an incredible job composing yourself so humbly, calming, and peacefully throughout this interview!

[professorlogos]

It’s amazing seeing one of my former students from Holy Apostles interviewing the great Jordan Peterson. 🙂

"To be made in the image of God is to wrestle with potential." 1' 12"
This a thousand times. Thank you Jordan Peterson for saying it straight. Now for me to teach it to my kids while I have the opportunity.

Matt pushed back better than other interviewers. Thanks Matt
