    I am incredibly grateful for your videos. Every time I watch one, it feels like you are articulating my thoughts exactly. It's as if my thoughts, which I struggle to express, find a voice through your discussions of various authors and their books. You summarize and explain them so well, making it easy to convey ideas that I often find difficult to articulate to non-believers.
    Regarding the video, I want to comment that his story mirrors mine perfectly. It is precisely how I explain my journey to faith when people ask me about it. Instead of traveling, I use mathematical calculations, almost as if my parents had given me the answer when I was young. I was stubborn and believed I could find a different answer. Now, at 25, I realize it is the same answer my parents had: that Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, is my Lord and Savior.
    Additionally, I want to mention that many of his ideas are very reminiscent of Søren Kierkegaard, particularly the concepts of paradox and humility, subjective truth, and the religious stage of life.
    Thank you once again for your insightful and thought-provoking videos. They truly resonate with me and have been invaluable in helping me articulate my faith journey.

    I've read this book TWICE and it was tough. Thanks for this summary. I should have taken detailed notes while I read it. I'm in the middle of "The Abolition of Man" now by Lewis. And, David Glantz's "Clash of Titans" (WW2 Eastern Front). 2024 is turning out to be a year of heavier reads for me. Oh, and I'm in the middle of GKC's "The Everlasting Man". Pray for me.

      I just started everlasting man and it’s very good. Just as good as orthodoxy. I really like his style and humor. Abolition of man is a quick read and I have a summary for it on my channel. Pretty enjoyable read as well.

    Great video. Don’t ever change Free Indeed. Don’t ever change.
    Also, you should check out Works of Love (Kierkegaard) if you haven’t yet. I think it’s his best book. Especially part 2.

    Poets dont go mad...M d Sade? They start mad, so no need to go mad. Chestertons reflex seem to be anti enlightenment so I see where he iw coming from

      I think it's better to read the book than Watching a summary on CZcams. Grab the book, Chesterton explained the cases of the mad poets.
