I know your busy Jordan. And you'll probably never see this. But when my father died I tried to kill myself with drugs. The day after I found you on YouTube and I binged almost all of your videos and i have beared my cross every damn day since. I've come so far and I have you to thank for helping me find my way. Thank you Jordan you couldn't possibly imagine the impact you've made on this world.

I've been an atheist for almost 20 yrs. I don't know what the truth is about anything anymore. I just know there was something deeply beautiful about this talk. Thank you.

I’m homeless, jobless and no vehicle at the moment… on the 18th of this month is one year that I lost my mother, but I have so much peace, I have a good heart and a great mind… I have stayed faithful… I once thought that losing my home and having no money would be my worst nightmare but now I would give it up in a heart beat to keep the peace I have now, my worst fear now would be to lose my peace and love that Christ gives me, I pray you all including myself that peace comes to us, that love comes to us, I thank the ones that read this i pray we all find our paths and our purpose in this life.

I am a 51 year old man. I lost my mom from breast cancer when I was just seven. Years later I lost my Dad in 2000. It's been 23 years and yet it feels like just yesterday. Through all this I have never truly lost my faith. I have strayed many times with alcohol and drugs but I overcame these addictions and temptations through the grace of God. I have been through many struggles in my life and through it all my faith only becomes stronger. One thing that I have always known as a Christian is that being Christian and believing in God doesn't mean that your life will somehow be without pain and suffering. I've noticed that some people think that is what Christians believe. Jesus suffered more then any of us could ever imagine. From the time of His birth till His crucifixion He was wanted dead. The suffering that we go through in our lives helps us to understand if even just a little bit what Jesus our Savior went through and brings us closer to our Lord! Sorry for the long comment. I just felt the need to share this.

"Life can be meaningful enough to justify its suffering." - Jordan Peterson

"Pick up your damn suffering, and bear it. And try to be a good person, so you don’t make it worse.” - Jordan Peterson

Jordan Peterson is the father that many people's children couldn't have.

My mother once told me she didn’t believe in hell and she just didn’t believe Jesus would send people to hell. That stuck with me as a young girl and it actually made my life BAD! (We need to be careful what we tell our children) We need to see the evil , we need to know that it exists. I didn’t understand anything until I understood evil and how real it is ! I don’t like to focus on evil because Jesus is my focus but he is revealing to me how we face that evil INSTEAD of joining it like I use to. (Drinking partying lust gossiping idolatry). I’m new and I am free now that I can confront my enemy.

“The worst of all snakes is the serpent in your heart” Having struggled with addiction for many years I truly believe these words. Powerful. 22:54

I feel like I'm witnessing the birth of the Second Renaissance/Enlightenment when I hear this sort of discourse. Which is, to my delight, very much appreciated by the audience both at the event and here on youtube.

Dr. Peterson’s brilliance is astounding. The depth of it is propelled by his humility. Comments like: “it looks to me” and “ I just learned this recently” shows his unity with humanity and lack of individual ego. Thank you for teaching me. The egoless, science-backed compassion landed in my consciousness. 🙂 Dr. Peterson is becoming “Christified”. ❤️❤️❤️

I escaped the tyranny of drug addiction to "the desert" and I've been trying to cross it for 3 years now. Thank you so much for the great insight to keep going and sooner or later I will walk out of this desert.

I will never stop commenting on Jordan's videos that he is the reason I chose to have a family. It was the best decision of my life. My son is 18 months old and he is the crackling little fire that we crowd around and watch. He has uplifted spirits and truly is the best thing I've ever chosen to do with my life. Thank you Jordan. His father and I watch you often. We look to you as a true philosopher and great thinker of our time. We are so happy you are well. Canada needs you now.

Admittedly I have stopped listening to Jordan as regularly and with the same enthusiasm that I did a few years ago. This video has reminded me of why I became such a big fan. I am a highly open person who grew up in a secular non religious environment with Christianity somewhat there but mostly at a distance. I’m still amazed by how this information cuts through and holds such weight for me. I believe Jordan’s talks have been a bridge for many like me who would not have been receptive to Christianity to this degree otherwise. Having dealt with some malevolence and a lot of suffering in the last few years, I don’t know if I would still be here if it weren’t for some understanding of this. It really does seem like the only path that makes sense. Thank you.

Listened to this mostly driving in the car and was on the verge of tears. When I came home my husband asked what I was up to and I just paused this and cried and told him this was just so profound, I just had to sit and think and just wow. Thank you for this.

It still stuns me how one person can impact a generation (multiple in my family, thank God). I am now 64, have lead a Christ-centered life, I don’t have too many regrets. But when Jordan Peterson came into my realm of influence, the wounds I had inside of me of being parentless, (emotionally speaking) and the trauma of abuse are somehow being addressed. His wisdom is the mother and father I never had. Even though he’s not a preacher, he has enabled me in someway I still haven’t been able to explain even to myself…. he has enabled me to live as a believer more so than I ever have. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Peterson.

Amazing lesson, can't believe that this is for free lol.

"What's the purpose of an education if it isn't a call to nobility" when he said that I nearly burst into tears

Thanks to all who produced this, the world needs more of this. Well done.
