So true. Thank you Will! My prayer for 2024 is that Americans would turn back to God, and would fear the Lord more than man, and seek to serve and follow Him in the dark days we are facing as a country, no matter the cost.
"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak, is to speak. Not to act, is to act."
Thanks Will; you are an inspiration. The Wise Men that found Jesus were called wise because they read and understood Daniel and they watched the night sky, knowing that it was created for Signs, Seasons.... I challenge you to complete your wisdom beyond your age. Is 2030, the 2,000th Anniversary of Christ's resurrection, the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. Wise men would know.
Beautifully written and whole heartedly expressed by a very handsome wise talented young man! Need more humanity like you. Thank you for sharing with me, Will.
Will, I agree with you whole heartedly, but I do not know how one with no influence can make a difference. Those of us without a platform are stamped or snuffed out the moment we step out of line, and are forgotten.
More people were furious with me than weren't when I didn't get vaxed, my employer couldn't have cared less if they had to fire me. When I say anything among peers, I'm ignored and ALWAYS called a conspiracy theorist, ignorant or naieve.
For many of us, it's whether you willing to alienate yourself from co-workers, friends and family. Because many of them know whats right. Most of us believe/know what you said is true, but they're not going to give up reputations to acknowledge it.
Half my family won't talk to me, a couple friends are done with me...and I know that if they ever change their mind about anything, it won't be because of anything I did. It will be because of something you wrote, or said, or something they saw on Prager U, or YouTube, or because of something they heard from Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson (examples). It will be because of an experience they had that punches them in the face with truth.
As for me, I'm nothing. It matters not who and what I've lost.
At least, that's how it seems.
Again, I agree with you, its just the horizon seems dark if the world is relying on people like me.
You know, in the years since the internet has existed, (I was a teenager in the web's infancy) that is the first and only time I haven't been ridiculed, mocked or scolded for a comment/review/question I've made online.
It sucks that the first thing I think is, "What's their motive/angle?" I don't think you have one, but that's the effect the internet's had. My mind is conditioned to see trolling/criticism/spite as truth and any words of kindness/encouragement lies/echo chamber speak.
Though, being a unknown commentor on someone else's channel...was it just part of the rules and regulations? Are you trying to promote you're site/business?
I looked at your substack. I don't think you're doing any og that either. Then I thought, if this person knew my religion/personal beliefs, theres a chance he'd take back his words.
My mind goes through all of that when I talk/interact with others and I do believe I'm not the only one.
I wonder, if you knew me as others do, if you knew my denomination, would my small, weak, inconsequential acts still mean something?
Again, this is just what my mind goes through. I do thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately I don't know how to accept them at face value anymore.
Odds are there are people who won't even understand the Apollo and Dionysius reference because they were never taught about Greek mythology. :-( That said, you expressed the "spirit of the age" most eloquently. God bless you, dear.
Will, your writings are always filled with both great reality and encouragement. Your last sentence reminded me of the verse, “Buy truth, and do not sell it;
buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding” Proverbs 23:23. This verse is also fitting, “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32. Praying for you!
Your writing is simply inspiring. Thank you for rekindling the fire in our hearts for change and for better. After reading this I find myself in a deep reflection. I feel moved to evaluate who I am not only as a citizen but as a person and a soul.
I’m thankful for the opportunity to read your material! It is true art!

"Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
For the Lord will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught."
Proverbs 3:25-26

Deceptively simple and outstandingly written. Thank you.

As usual Will you have hit the nail on the head. Well said, God bless you.

Will, you are an old soul..wisdom beyond your years. I first heard you interviewed by Jack Hibbs and I was hooked!
