Modernist Fish: Episode 2 - Jordan Peterson? Lunatic, Liar, or Believer

Episode 2 of the Modernist Fish podcast is about Jordan Peterson and how Christians ought to relate to him and to his work.This is the audio version of the show. You can watch the original video version on Rumble at https://rumble.com/c/c-7040750 or on YouTube here: Several diatribes against Jordan Peterson have been published online recently, bringing new criticism against the otherwise conservative favorite. Who is he? Why, given that his work seems very Christian and he has brought many people back to Christ, does Jordan himself not seem to believe? Is Jordan lying to himself or the world? Is he a lunatic in some way or another, and incomprehensible to others and to himself? Or is Jordan on his way to becoming a Christian? But what’s holding him back? We're going to look into Jordan's philosophy and his wrestling with his own faith to determine how Christians should wrestle with and relate to Jordan's work and other similar popular (and controversial) public intellectuals.Sources: Jordan Peterson on the Power of the Easter Message: Against Jordan Peterson - by Sanfedisti: JORDAN PETERSON: CANADIAN PSYCHO - Frank Wright: Navigating Belief, Skepticism, and the Afterlife | Alex O'Connor CosmicSkeptic | EP 451: The Terror of Believing in Christ | John Rich: More about the Modernist Fish podcast, available through this Substack site and newsletter alongside YouTube, Rumble, and various other podcast platforms:We're all moderns in a modernist world, swamped and distracted from the truth by secularism, "the deep state", the "deep church" and more. And so, we have to put in extra effort to relearn how to live a fully traditional Christian life again. James Green and Tim Dominik are two such "modernist fish" here to journey with you on this process of relearning. Here, we'll discuss theology, philosophy, free will, Catholic spiritual life, politics, history, and more in conversations sure to be full of hot takes, wild claims, and how to see the world as it really is, which is most definitely not what the world has been telling you it is.This is the podcast accompaniment to the Grain of Wheat Substack at grainofwheat.substack.com and conversations will often parallel or accompany written pieces from the site, with audio versions of selected articles also to be made available on this podcast feed.Oh, and also just like our Substack page, everything somehow relates to John 12:24!
