Jordan Peterson: From Arrogant PhD Atheist Psychologist to Humble Believer in Jesus in Only 4 Short Years
Jordan Peterson is an internationally renouned academic and psychologist who has written several best selling books on how to improve your life from a psychological perspective. The main theme of that work is adding meaning to life by taking personal responsibility for yourself. That is one of many themes of this website, in fact. We reference his work several places on this site. Below is one of our most favorite of his works:

Peterson has tons of youtube videos and is a guest speaker all over the world. When he left academia in 2017 and began his ministry, he was an atheist psychologist. Now he is a Christian. It was a long journey, and part of that time was spent debating OTHER atheists and realizing that they were simply WRONG. Eventually, he had to admit HE was wrong! All he had to do was spend five minutes to know he was wrong, by watching the following video on our site:

Notice way back in 2017, that when asked if he believed in God, he played his default “sophist” mode by trying to joust with the definitions to avoid the real issues. We talk about this type of sophistry in the following course:

In addition, his daughter Mikhalia also found God around the same time. Here is her story:
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
“5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.“
[Phil. 2:5-11, Bible, NKJV]
