I’ve read both of his books and listened to several of his podcasts while exercising.
My opinion...He’s definitely in this to make money, for himself and his family. Some of his viewpoints are skewed by this; he’s more centrist/appealing to leftists and harsher to the right in order to appeal to a broader audience. That being said, I don’t think he backs off too much from what he truly believes. To dismiss him because he doesn’t fit our Christian or Conservative world view would be a mistake.
He states your actions are the true measure of what you profess to believe. Your actions should 100%, match your words. He won’t say he believes in God but always says he acts as if God exists. Draw your own conclusion.
Overall, he seems to inspire—especially younger men—to do better, to achieve more, and to choose to do the right thing in all situations. This can’t be bad...to take individual responsibility for decisions and life direction.
2.5 hour lecture. Give any section 30 minutes of undivided attention to see if it is interesting to you. Skipping around won’t make sense.

I liked this lecture. Prepare for bad things in your life. If you’re prepared properly as an individual, you may just save your family. If enough people did this, the world would be a much better place.
Ping to watch later.
