This episode was recorded on April 4, 2022.
I discussed gratitude, faith, and suffering in this conversation at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. How can we be sure that pain is a solid guiding principle as we navigate the world? What is the underlying structure of pain, and what does it point at?
We also touched on a myriad of topics around those central themes, such as sin and the symbol of the snake, giving advice, resurrection, the relationship between faith and suffering, evil, the effect we have on others, and sunsets.

Dr. Peterson you deserve to be a menu of Catholic Church in Jesus Christ name . Amen!
34:01 speaks of the temptation of becoming bitter..
34:45 "I didn't have to defend God.."
40:01 "face the things that you're trying to avoid"
In the snakes in the desert and Moses lifting the serpent (by God's direction); theologically; God allows the problem; but He provides the remedy. The problem is we can be bit by serpents, poisoned or die in our lives; but he will provide the remedy. So what is the poison is sting of sin and thus death; the cure is Christ's redemption on the cross which brings healing, and life and deliverance. So God allows the punishment but provides the remedy.
Did he actually say slavery was ok? Wtf
Amen
God Bless Jordan Peterson,
Jordan Peterson has encouraged me to live an ethical life, my flaws many, my faith emboldened, I strive everyday to be a plus ➕️ sign & not a minus sign
Who is the Priest?
I could sit and listen to these 2 all day.
Jesus taught his disciples to bear their cross before he was crucified when they had no reason to associate it with HIS cross. This makes the likely meaning of his teaching something like consider yourselves as if the world had already rejected you and sentenced you to death and you're on your way to your execution. In other words detach from the need for praise from men and depend instead on praise from God.
I hope you could give 10% to needy ppl.
The term baring your cross in Jesus time meant that you were actually going to the gallows. You were actually going to be publicly executed while being mocked and scorned by a ravenous mob. Then die, naked with your back ripped open, nailed to two beams of rough wood, a slow and painful death. You would die from suffocation. In that in order to breath you would have to push up on your nailed wrists and feet. A horribly agonizing task just to breath. Many would not die for days. There you would hang in absolute suffering on the side of a road while travelers would mock or scorn you. It was the death of those who would defy Rome. Only the most hated of criminals would be given such a death. It's not a spiritual thing that Jesus is saying when he's calling for us to bare our cross and come after him. He's calling us to an impossible thing. Which is why he had to do it for us. Jesus didn't come to show the strong or the righteous a way to piety. He came to endure the punishment that sinners deserve so that sinners can be forgiven.
Blatantly disobey the doctrine of Christ, and simultaneously claim to be a minister of the gospel??? Y'all are the most prideful people in my line of vision ….o ye generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come.
is "right effort" necessary for true liberation???We are all products of whatever the source/God is…I believe we were made in his image and are all equal under it's eye,and yet we are all experiencing uniquely …the common denominator seems to be that which is the neutral observer/witness that if focussed on is always available (if the self chooses to be fully present) …what does real surrender look like…and what is being surrendered????
Thank you Dr. Peterson. Your words have turned my Catholic faith from black and white to technicolor. You have reoriented me to find Jesus and joy in my humanity. You are the antidote to the toxicity in which we find ourselves. I recommend your bible lectures and podcasts to anyone out there who feels like something is missing.
The desert is better then tyranny because of the promise of God and the hope that comes with it. With out hope your walking towards hell.
I always come back to this video when I feel that this cross I have to bear is too heavy, it lightens the feel of the load. Thank you Jordan.
Love you mr Jordan for the work you do
TRUTH
34 minutes in, the comments on the NICU, there is my issue with a lot of the religious people. God has a plan, but that plan includes babies being born, suffer in the NICU, and die never having known the world. God has a plan and that plan includes innocents suffering and dying. Any plan that allows for that, hell expects that, is a plan I will not support
God seems to prefer much our freedom instead of our salvation…
