Do you want to just tell us firstly what happened and then we'll talk about the video and the response you got to it.

Ben PolsonGUEST
So the actual video I posted was me explaining the story of going to church really for the first time, not necessarily the first time ever, but certainly choosing to go voluntarily on my own for the purpose of learning, which is very different to being dragged along for some other reason because you're with a friend.

Ben PolsonGUEST
And so, the experience I had was I turned up and at the time I was wrestling with so many conflicting beliefs that was causing a lot of cognitive dissonance.

Ben PolsonGUEST
As I said earlier, I'm very interested in things like philosophy and I'm a very, I would say, quite a deep thinker about consciousness, about the universe, about all the intricacies that is life.

Ben PolsonGUEST
I was, I guess I've also dealt with a huge amount of anxiety pretty much since I was 18 years old, on and off anxiety.

Ben PolsonGUEST
And sometimes the anxiety, or a lot of the anxiety can stem from existential thoughts, which I can't answer.

For me, one of the things that Christianity can offer people is a kind of peace that you don't have to do it all and win at life you can kind of fail at life actually and that's okay because god god's still there and god still loves you and you it's not about how well you do basically
