Conservative commentator, former professor and all-around intellectual Jordan Peterson has been dancing around the decision to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior for some time now.
Peterson has shown an immense interest in the Bible and the lessons one can learn from it from a purely educational and moral standpoint, but he has yet to cross over into that spiritual standpoint which makes all the difference.
Recently on the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, he was joined by country star John Rich, formerly of the hit duo Big and Rich. It was from this rather unexpected guest that Peterson was confronted with the reality that one day, all will proclaim Jesus Christ is Lord.

“At the end of the day, it’s [the Bible] not a metaphor, it’s not intellectualism. When you die, and you see Him, what’s He gonna say to you?” Rich asks Peterson.
Not the Bee said it best reporting on this exchange of faith:
But the Lord works in mysterious ways. Here’s the dude who wrote and sang “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” presenting the Gospel to one of the greatest conservative intellectuals in a way he can’t get around.
Rich left no room for maneuvering with Peterson, which seemed to catch him off guard. The Canadian psychologist has made a living breaking down and eviscerating far left-wing tropes which in turn harm those who adopt the ideology. But when discussing the role of Jesus Christ as the Savior of humanity with Rich, who is coming from a biblical perspective, there is no room for Peterson to move.
You either make the leap of faith and proclaim Jesus your personal Lord and Savior, or you don’t.
Peterson has shown a receptive nature to the teachings of Christ, but as we see in this interview, he does not appear to be ready to make that jump just yet.
Even when Peterson tries to end the podcast, with a look on his face that could potentially show that he is being convicted at the very moment he is speaking, Rich does not let off the gas and keeps hammering the message home of how badly we need Jesus in our life.
“I know you want to wrap up, so obviously we will. But it [the Bible] does say ‘go out and preach the Gospel to every nation, every human being out there,'” shares Rich. “…when it talks about go out and tell everybody about the truth of who I [Jesus] am and what the Bible says, and what the stakes are, the eternal stakes, you are supposed to go say that.”
Rich was 100% correct when he told Peterson to his face that one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Pray that Peterson will do this before it is too late.
