In a post on X, Dr. Jordan Peterson shared a personal health update amid his ongoing, serious health challenges.
Sharing the news that he is going to begin the release of lectures each week while he is unable to create new content.
Hi, everybody. I’m pleased to let you know that we’re going to release a lecture a week from my extensive tour archive, beginning this Sunday and then repeating every Sunday after that.
This allows me to do something interesting and useful while I’m otherwise incapacitated. My health is such at the moment that I can’t really return to podcasting or public lecturing. But we recorded these with the express intention of preparing them for release, and we’ve all determined that this is a very good time to do that.
So that’s what’s going to happen.
I hope you find them useful and compelling. They’ll be particularly attractive to those of you who liked my early YouTube work that was very lecture focused. It’s a return to my roots, I suppose, in some ways. And I’m as happy as I can be under the current circumstances, given my ill health, to be participating in this process and to have these lectures prepared for release.
Thanks a lot for your continued attention and support.
– Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

As believers, this is an opportunity to extend compassion and prayer. Scripture reminds us to “bear one another’s burdens” (Gal. 6:2), and that includes lifting up those who are suffering physically and emotionally. Let us pray that God would grant Peterson renewed strength, healing, wisdom and peace in the days ahead.
