- Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going?
Everyone wants the answers to these questions. Some people have found their answers in God; others are still on the path of discovery. And some have grown discouraged-and stopped looking.
Don’t give up! says Matt Fradd in his newest and most important video to date, God, the Universe, & Everything. With all the energy, humor, and down-to-earth realism that have made him a sought-after speaker around the world, Matt shares his own story of being shaken out of the agnostic apathy he suffered as a young adult. Challenged to find reasons to believe that life has meaning-no matter how messy or senseless or full of suffering it may get-his long search finally led him to belief in the God of Christianity, and in his Church. - บันเทิง

I'm not Catholic, but Protestant. I love , love , love to hear you speak. Thank you for your heart, sincerity, and service. My mother always told me that denominations are divisions; therefore denominations are divisions in the church. I consider you and your wife to be my brother and sister in Christ, and look forward to meeting you both one day; this side of heaven or the other. I hope you feel the same. God Bless.
This is why I love Catholicism. Not only is it the one true Church of our Lord Jesus Christ, it asks the questions about the God, the Universe and us. Going to love this video!! God bless everyone!
Thank you Matt! I encourage you to keep adding more of your teaching to your channel!
Yes we will die. I am old circa 1944. Do not forget to pray for the souls in purgatory.
Great presentation.
There is NO such place as PURGATORY or LIMBO where unbaptised BABIES went
THESE WERE LIES PEDLED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR YEARS
THEY HAVE AT LAST REPENTED AND ADMITTED THEY DONT EXIST
Remember God wants you in heaven, sis. God bless.
Amazing communicator, Matt!!
I know the opinion of some guy in the TH-cam comments section is worth as much as a wasted second, but you are really good at this. I mean, you have an extraordinary gift for monologue and public speaking outside of your podcasting skills. So, good job man, keep doing it.
You crushed it Matt!
Excellent speech. Looking forward to y'all reaching 500K subscribers - been here since 289K
@MattFradd - Thank you for your gift of self to service of the Lord. No doubt, He has gifted you with wit and wisdom such that you can spread His message of truth and mercy and forgiveness and love!
Matt Frad you are top shelf!
As someone who was here for this talk in person, it was so much better than Matt's other talk he gave at purpose. Felt very personal, and something enjoyable not just for a Catholic but just a person.
32:25 I can completely relate. When I let go of God it became very easy to just allow myself to just stop believing in anything whatsoever (nihilism basically). Even the reason science worked became a complete mystery (things like "is there even a material world?" or "why in hell would nature follow any rules at all?"). You always need some belief or faith in order to be "rational". When I realized this was when I very gradually started building my faith back up
Lights out, Matt. Great job!
Great talk Matt!!
I absolutely loved that they played that song at the very end.
God, Jesus and God's spirit
brilliantly done matt. way to balance the comedy with the seriousness of the talk
If this is the SEEK talk then let’s go it was so good
I loved the section where Matt walked through the answers you'd get if you asked those big questions without a belief in God because, besides the "how should I live" one which I think is ignoring quite a lot of metaethics and other philosophy that people have worked really hard on, he did give the answers that as an Atheist I do actually hold.
The difference is I don't agree that it is bleak. I think it's wonderous.
A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts, and there is a heart-wrenching but serene smile that I can't help when I really feel the reality that all of everything I have ever known is more fragile and transient than I can properly describe. Like a lone firework in a long night, we ignite and burn and fade for the minutest chance that someone else got to see the light. To demand that we simply have to exist eternally seems to me an intense sort of vanity.
I'm not making an argument here. Just as Matt said, how pleasant you find a proposition isn't related to its truth or falsity in the slightest, but I wanted to offer up the fact that it isn't as simple as "God = hopeful view, No God = Bleak". Camus in particular and existentialism in general are not devoid of hope or an appreciation of beauty.
This is going to be epic!
I was raised Catholic but I'm more into the Holy Spirit, 3 in one God 🕊️🕊️
The answer is 42.
LOL Good one! Don't forget your towel!
❤
God bless you! Christ is the only salvation.
26:54 one for the Maronites!! Eyyy! 😂🙏🇱🇧 let’s face it though, Melbourne’s too roastable …
You forgot life! Glue conversations!
The phrase "serious sin" unsettles me. I don't believe that any sin is greater than another, seeing as how Gods forgiveness covers all. I feel that phrase can be used by Christians to create an artificial hierarchy of so-called "goodness" when honestly, we're all in the same sinking ship.
I get what you mean and it can be a trap for us to distinguish between ‘serious’ and ‘lesser’ sins (especially treating it as if the latter is ok) you are right, all sin is bad, and Christ covered them all. But I think we would all distinguish the difference in evil from say, someone criticising someone unjustly and willful murder, or premeditated littering vs premeditated sexual assault. One damages our relationship with God, the other cuts us off. Some sin is more damaging in the overall effect to the self and humanity than the other. St John in his letter talks about ‘sin which leads to death’ as opposed to sin which doesn’t. As you say though, we are all in the same bucket, all needing Him desperately, no matter what level of sinner we categorise ourselves.
Jesus encountered a man plagued with sin and said, This will require intense prayer " (paraphrased. )This makes me believe in greater and lesser sin however, I Do know Jesus paid it all.
As a Protestant who loves Matt and prays for his family eventual but most unlikely conversion to reformed Christianity, this was a very good talk and I applaud his ability to speak crudely and bluntly about the goodness, truth, and beauty of God and seem like a normal guy with a brilliant mind.
I tuned you in to introduce you to my wife and all you did was tell stories and make jokes. This was pretty dissapointing, expecially based on the title.
