    He LIVES the gospel ...which makes him a light for others to know and follow the gospel.
    He is blessed to have such an eyes-wide-open relationship with Christ, and therefore the world is blessed - and still has HOPE - with people like Jonathan Isaac in it. Amazing human striving to do God's work! God bless him and his wife/family.

    I had never heard of Jonathan Isaac prior to today's show. He is such an Awsome man!! And whoever "Doc" is, bless his heart for being there and helping Jonathan through some trying times. I absolutely loved the line, "they knelt for what they believed, and you Stood for what you believe." You can only win when you stand with God. All the best to you, Mr. Isaac. God bless you. 💗🌺

    Though I am an atheist, I respect this young man's right to his religious and political convictions. When you must conform to an act of protest, is it really an act of protest anymore? I think Isaac also was touting his natural immunity to COVID from having been infected and arguing against his need to vaccinate.

    Most celebrities who claim to be Christians don’t have this kind of guts. That’s why I don’t take celebrity Christianity too seriously. They are too worried about their career and being liked by everybody because it could mean their career. Christ loved everybody but he never compromised his stand. So impressed by his bravery in caring more with what Christ thinks.

    I was with him until the end when asked about whether he agrees or not with BLM. His answer was ignorant. He equated it to a single person/event and dismissed the ideology in lew of Jesus is always right. We can't select when we feel Jesus is the answer. When a girl commits an abortion, should we just say, oh well, let Jesus decide what to do for her and the child? No, we take action and make a change. In the case of BLM, it was a cause for police justice against obvious and factual biases that thanks to BLM created real change in police stations across the US. Not supporting because of 'JESUS' is just an ignorant or stupid of way of saying ...'uggg, my pastor said all BLM are democrats who hate Jesus, so don't agree with none of that stuff'.. weak answer from an obviously smarter man.

That's the core tenet of atheist morality, that human morals and ethical values are naturally derived from evolution and are not contingent on any superior being, or God. Watch the Sam Harris vs Craig Lane debate and also the Peterson-Lane vs Rebecca Goldstein debate so you can see where OP is coming from. He's the one who's flawed, unfortunately.
      Without God, OP's ideas of "right" are meaningless. Also, most if not all atheists don't believe in free will and are hardcore determinists, so what do they *care* about what "stuff" others do or don't do, or believe anyways? It's simply none of their business, nor it could possibly be. Granted, for that same reason it's hard to spot a nosey atheist, but here we are.
