Summary

Segment 1:



• Jordan Peterson speaks to 20 atheists—but refuses to confess Christ.



• His worldview sounds spiritual, but not biblical.



• Apologetics can stir minds, but only the gospel saves souls.



Segment 2:



• Peterson dodges the “Are you a Christian?” question again and again.



• Atheists press hard—and his answers only get murkier.



• When you rely on intellect, you end up with confusion, not salvation.



Segment 3:



• Peterson lets atheists question God without pointing them to Christ.



• The Bible has answers, but Peterson holds back.



• One atheist shows openness—will someone give her the gospel?



Segment 4:



• Peterson debates morality; the atheists need mercy, not theory.



• “Aim up” won’t save anyone—only Jesus crucified for sinners.



• A heart-wrenching reminder: truth without Christ is still lostness.
