  1. 20:12 This is a perfect example of why/how Christianity was able to grow, even in Nigeria (my country) and much of Africa. The welcoming, kindness and hopefulness in it is why. The best way to describe it is winning through compassion. Even my grandfather who was raised a pagan converted to Christianity because his mother's family, who were Christian, treated him with so much kindness and he was inspired by their faith. They themselves were treated so kind by the British evangelicals of the time and that made them convert earlier.

  2. Great video, guys. I discovered you via your episode with Benjamin Boyce and now i am a subscriber to you. I love your conservative content and pro-natalist views. As a Nigerian Catholic, it's so refreshing to see a western family with your positive messaging. Plus, i am getting more confident in my prospects of future marriage because of your awesome life and example.

  3. When i first immigrated to Canada from Nigeria for education and work in 2012, i found myself becoming an atheist. I was 15 and wanted to fit in and i found the initial new-atheist wave to be rational. Then,with time, i saw what they really were. They became more toxic and unhinged. They deny any positive aspects of Christianity/religion and would attack and even lie about historical facts like how Christianity led to the development of modern science and liberalism. Or how Christianity led to abolishing slavery in Africa and they would play identity politics and that made me realize i was wrong about them. I am still a practicing Catholic today and I am glad i abandoned atheism.
