The great impact Peter's work has on me is that it teaches me rather deeply about the stuff I only knew bits and pieces from the "media". Born and raised in Ukraine I always saw Mormon missionaries who were teaching English, Biblical classes, volunteering in the local communities. But I honestly never knew a lot about them up until now. Awesome series about all kinds of Christian communities in the US, thanks a lot.

I honestly love these videos where Peter just sits down with the whole family together and does what we all should do more - just talk, ask and answer, listen to each other and laugh. I always feel like I'm there with you. That's an awesome feeling, thanks, Peter

I literally fell in love with Peter's Amish series and I also loved this video so much. There is so much joy in Titus, he looks at this world with a smile on his face, which we all should try. What an amazing personality, hope at some point our society can get more like this. I understand that all the people don't need to live off grid and get back to farming. But I would love to see people care more about their real not social media life, caring more about others, helping out the neighbors and the community, what a beautiful world that might be.

There are not many things that make me happier than a new Amish video from Peter. Even before watching I know it will be full of peace, joy, wisdom, nature and humane and deep conversations.

I definitely feel our "English" society is lacking the Amish way of commitment to the community, willing to help the neighbors, care about something other and bigger than just their family. Of course we have lots of volunteer services and initiatives but I'm talking about the people just talking care of each other. Great that there are the communities out there that still value this.

Long story short - east or west - the US is the best😀 I'm a European living in China and I personally think that the true understanding of the country comes when you see it come through some critical times or the crisis. I was astonished by the way Chinese people handled the covid. We all together took all the precautions here, quarantined as long as it was needed like one nation, even though I'm a foreigner here. I think laowhy86 is manipulating about no freedom of speech here. There are huge amounts of public discussions happening here, and there is a great amount of people here who actively take part in communicating with the government. These discussions just don't get political and nobody is wasting time talking about useless things. But I can witness myself how this country changes every year. But as it was said there is no ideal country in the whole world but it's definitely worth to try and experience more of them to make your own choices

Wow, Peter has gone so far with his content, as a foreigner I really appreciate all the interesting stories told by the local people, no matter hood or border. Though it's really sad what these illegal immigrants have to go through, hope there can be a better and safer way

I absolutely loved Margie. So much positivity and warmth in her eyes. I'm from the 90s but unfortunately I rarely see really positive people from my generation. We, 30+ year olds seem to have put on ourselves some kind of mental burden, maybe we focus too much on success and money and social status or god knows what... And it's so wholesome to have a chance to talk and learn about life from the previous generations. They've had their tough times too, but they are staying positive. Hoping Margie will get better soon and this spark of positivity will always stay with her helping to cope with any issues, God bless her.

As I said many times - Peter has a great talant or luck (or both) to get to know some awesome locals in the places he visits. That truly helps to see the place, it's history, culture and present through their eyes and experiences. I can't remember one guest who I found boring or didn't like, every single one was pretty interesting to watch and listen to. Bravo 🙌

@kfb6158 I guess you are right, not an expert on the subject but they definitely have way more going on than is in the Bible. But by Christian communities I also meant Peter's series about Amish people.

@etcetera-9 I was baptised in Orthodox church but unfortunately my parents were never religious and we rarely went to church. Now I'm feeling more interest in Christianity, especially after Peter's videos, so now I'm exploring the Baptist churches in Canada, where I live now. Thanks for asking. How about you? Are you religious?

@guileg9197 well it's very weird to speak the truth about China being in the states. I was watching laowhy for years before I actually moved to China myself and definitely can't relate to most of his "truth" anymore. Unfortunately he became just another manipulative westener who was once honest but then just realized that spreading negative info about China for the western audience brings more viewers.

@etcetera-9 wow, what a story you got, thanks for sharing. Firstly, totally agree that the orthodox churches in Ukraine do look amazing, especially the ones built in the authentic Ukrainian barocco style, but honestly, for me the peace and quiet of the the Buddhist temples in Asia are way more spiritually full than the gold and pomposity of the orthodox tradition. I have a similar experience with my spirituality, I can never just believe something because some sacred book says so. This is my biggest problem with Christianity and Islam, even though I totally respect their beliefs. Recently I got also interested in Buddhism as it does not focus on any god or prophet, rather in your personal growth within. I also practiced yoga in Ananda Marga tradition, but don't feel like following their main guru, I just like the yoga and meditation as tools of improving your body and spirit. And I absolutely agree with you, I appreciate my parents not pushing me in any direction, so I can find my own way. But on the other hand I would appreciate if they at least tried to visit the church more often, I feel like it could bring us closer with each other and the community. And to answer your question - I can't say I feel an existential lack of meaning in life, especially because I believe in reincarnation. I read the books of Michael Newton - the pioneer of the regressional hypnosis in the US and what he found out about the after life connected some dots for me. And I believe that life on Earth is just a place to learn, grow spiritually, gain, lose, love, find and fulfill some bigger purpose. How to do it right - I have no clue, but that's the beauty of this game🌎

Wow almost 97k from 125k needed to build a church. Thank you for a grace of being able to donate to such a beautiful cause. Can't wait to see Tituses project start 🙏

Awesome idea

Thank you so much for that awesome content. I am a Ukrainian currently living in Shanghai, so these countryside views are like a small glance back on my motherland which I truly love. Thanks so much for having that courage to come all the way from SF to the middle of nowhere in Ukraine. Appreciate that and wish you all the best in you show, have fun and take care. I will definitely stay tuned!;)

@henrisokka1457 are you sure about that?

If it made any sense, I would definitely be interested to see Ivan's YouTube channel, cuz just these 40 minutes listening to him chat with Peter taught me a lot, and now I myself think about what you talked about. This guy has lots of wisdom and understanding but he doesn't look highly on you, he actually is so open minded. I think these series are the best thing I saw on YouTube this year, would definitely visit Amish community in the future.

I'm so grateful for seeing Titus again, so happy to see he's doing great. Will definitely subscribe to his channel. This is the kind of influencer our world needs now🙏

Wow, I'm speechless and can't stop smiling. This is so refreshing to see such an amazing community, where people actually know each other, care and support each other. I love the way people just chill on their front porches or just in front of the house, just... talking. This is just awesome. I'm sure Amish people are not ideal, no communities are, and they admit it themselves, but we definitely can learn a lot from them. I literally feel the heart warmth and this welcoming vibe. I would definitely visit one of these communities in the future, truly an eye opening experience. Thanks, Peter.

It's a very interesting perspective of how the American sees Ukraine and talks about diversity and vibes. But just look at the majority of adults! Tired, not smiling, rushing work/home, home/work. Yea, a lot of them hang out in parks, but I as a Ukrainian feel the vibe of no way out, but just IMHO
2
It kinda saddens me cuz while watching Peter's amazing footage I realize that most likely I will never have a chance to see most of those places with my own eyes. But on the other hand I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to witness these moments ant most importantly the people. I don't know any other "travel vloggers" who are so good at storytelling through and with the locals. I for sure will show these videos to my kids, seems like the world is changing too fast and in a decade who knows what will stay the same)

Wow, what a great place to be at. I'm was born and raised in the city, have seen some grandparents' farms but this off-grid lifestyle is really tough, imagine this place in winter. You gotta love it

@JW99736 hmm, that's an interesting look on orthodoxy

Acknowledging the fact that the Mormons do a lot of good around the world I can't comprehend the fact they believe in the words of Joseph Smith and other prophets who had dozens of wives (some of them were teenagers). I mean how can you belive in the purity of the person whose morale was that low...
1
Wow, I honestly didn't towns and people like this still exist in the West. Thanks for showing me America I had no idea of. Lots of times I noticed something like at Burning Man, but I guess it's the Burning Man that takes the inspiration in the places like this😅

The worst thing is that it's not about the public safety. It's not that bad, but criminal stuff happens. But our police don't investigate it properly. Every second criminal is not found. That's all you need to know.

Very interesting talk, great community

@sdtruth619 and that is none of your business, if the Ukrainian flag bothers you, it's your problem 😅

@georgeorwellsghost3833 and who made this historical reference? You? Got any proofs? Or those who pay you to post this bullshit online don't provide proofs to ruZZian trolls? 🤔
1
@cadetrenew oh yeah, most of these pro-ruzzian trolls still try to act badass and tough not even understanding how miserable they are. They thought they will take over Ukraine in a couple of weeks, yet got owned everywhere and now just trying to hold what they have. Not sure where u r from, but if u r from any democratic country that supports Ukraine I want to sincerely thank you for all the help and support both from your governments and just ordinary people who have welcomed our refugees all over the world. We will always be grateful and will never forget who our true brothers and sisters are, God bless you.

Such a wholesome and healthy way to farm. I loved the educational part of this documentary and I definitely learned something new. Thank you, Peter

Aww, it's like meeting with some old good friends, good to see you back❤🙏
