I confess I am, perhaps one of several Christians, who prayed for Ayan. Several years ago when listening to her I sensed a profound sadness in her. I prayed for her salvation and, she would experience the joy of Jesus. I have been urged to pray for her a couple of times since then. I am jubilant at hearing and seeing the change in her. Thank you Glen, please continue to Speak Life!
Me too hehe🥰🙏✝️ she said in one of her interviews (maybe with Dawkins) that back in the days she was atheist criticizing christianity and islam, she had to have bodyguards because of death threats from muslims😅 but christians were sending her letters saying that she is misguided and they are praying for her☺️ obviously MANY enough of us prayed for her🙏✝️ PRAISE YOU FATHER GOD for opening her eyes to the truth and bringing her out of darkness into Your love and light🙏✝️❤️🔥🥰 I also pray for Mosab Hassan Yousef’s life and heart🙏✝️
Ayaan says "simple basic prayer, and surrender, worked... and I am at peace, those awful thoughts have gone, my head is clear. I'm more productive, I'm a better person. That for me is all the evidence I need" "the surrender is help me God, please get rid of them (awful thoughts)". Hallelujah, how beautiful.
BIBLE = BeLIEve In Big LIE Eternally. The God in the bible with the Capital G is almost similar in practice with the great Roman Empire, British Colonalists, American and Western Imperialists. Every book is written by man however inspired and visionary it may be. As far as I am concerned God is natural like every organic living being, however the practices of God in the bible is totally psychopathic, genocidical, barbaric, bloody in practising removal of foreskins of a eight day old baby, killing of women, children and babies and yet keeping the virgins for themselves, hypocritical, prejudice, killing masses of people depending on his whim and fancy. This God is just a bogey man created by very evil and clever people to justify the evilness that they are doing. God is created by man in his own image. BIBLE = Bible Intervention By the LORDS of England. Otherwise why do you think they keep spreading the gospel. Jesus had no geneanology he did not even have a rightful father. He was away from the age of 12 to 30 spending much of his time looking for his father. He was in India learning under the Brahma but he went against their teaching on the caste system, and the untouchables. Jesus taught that all men are equal. The Brahmins wanted to kill him him and Jesus escaped to the Buddhist Ashram to learn from Buddha disciples. Jesus practised samadhi to fake death on the crosd and eventually went to India again and lived to a ripeful age of 120 years old. There was a tomb in India in his name.(ua-cam.com/video/8cy8M4VzU-Y/v-deo.html) There was also a scroll of Jesus written in the extinct Pali language. The scroll was translated to the Tibetan language and remain hidden in one of the Tibetan temple in Lhasa. Should you believe in the God in the bible and worship the mass murderer or believe in Satan whom killed only 10 people and with the permission from God. The bible was the political and marketing handbook for the Roman Empire. The gospel means good news of another military victory. Could you imagine these culturally, "civilised" and technologically advanced civilizations went round the world enslaving and colonising numerous nations and ignoring their pride, pain, suffering b and poverty clearly point to a God that is beyond belief. I believe China in the last 50 years had done more for African countries than what the Western Colonisers did in the last 500 years. Many people called China an evil and dictatorial empire but they failed to mention their GOD is monotheistic so who is more dictator. China or their GOD. US Dollars is the world reserved currency, hence USA can literally print as much US Dollars as they want. But the Chinese and other nations had to toil and sacrifice blood, sweats, and tears to earn the US Dollars in order to buy USA goods. How America did not collapse even as at today is because of her military might. At the end of the days all these Americans and Western powers, except Austria and Hungary, are just a bunch of looters, pirates, bullies, hypocrites and legalised liars just like the God in the bible. Their god is; Gold/money, Oil/resources/minerals, Drugs/diseases. Sorry I digressed. God is a major part of the problem.

Reading Dominion now. I was a committed atheist but as Ayaan said in something i listened to a while ago. Atheism can be boiled down to " You have no more significance than a worm" This really struck me. Well here i am. Turned into agnostic, now perhaps more a Christian.
Humans are so arrogant to think we are something special. Why would we be better than a worm? Do you realize the infinitely vast size of the universe, and how insignificant we are?
Well I do think we are more significant than a worm. No worm has expressed love, written beautiful music, poetry, built incredible cathedrals, skyscrapers, managed to walk on the moon. perhaps there are other lifeforms in the galaxy that to them we are the worms. Do we tell them they are not anymore significant than us? I think they might differ.
@@brianwolthers2762significance may not be measured in terms of love, skyscrapers, aircrafts etc. These are important for humans to thrive but not important to worms. Worms only need to burrow holes and find food in mud. A bird would laugh at humans for their inability to flap their arms and lift off. Don’t you think it’s illogical to state human abilities as a measure of significance against other organisms?

I remember reading 10 years ago Infidel by Ayan Hirsi Ali, and ever since I have been amazed at her courage, depth of thought, and the struggles she has endured since leaving Islam. I admired her when she was a New Atheist explaining to us in the West the problems with Islam as one who was formerly a Muslim. She has recently embraced the Way and the Word of God. That too is amazing and a boost of faith to fellow Xns.
Please pray for my son who has turned to atheism, having spending years of his growing in embracing Christianity,which and his mother have lived for. lives for
Your son has been freed from your delusions. Why do you want him join your madness? Your son is an honest person, he has refused to join your self deceit and hypocrisy.
I really appreciate the idea of Jesus rising from the dead and offering us forgiveness after his death. It feels like he’s lifting the weight of accountability off our shoulders and extending a hand of grace to us all. It’s wonderful to see how Jesus truly embodies the teachings he shares!
The advantage of atheism is that it is just a negative- in a debate it is much easier to attack another position but much harder to defend or offer a better alternative. If you have ever talked to a negative person, nothing you do can make them happy or grateful
The distinguishing factor of atheism is a lack of reason. It takes no reasoning to lack belief. A rock can lack belief and reason. Yet atheists make a conclusion that a god does not exist. There are atheists that have reasons, but the ones that claim they don't need a reason didn't reason themselves into atheism.
Also, the atheist feels they achieve victory by simply declaring there is no evidence. Ignoring the Laws of Nature, DNA, the unfolding intelligible universe and more. All reasonable evidence that many feel points toward an Intelligent Source for our universe.
You should see when people use their own impossible standards of proof against them. A podcaster I followed uses it to argue against them with the whole "the moon landing was faked" narrative and they get their nuts twisted.
You are a mad person and a liar. Nobody has ever denied things like dreams, air, microwave, gravity etc. We cannot see these things but they are demonstrable and no rational person doubts them. Muslims are just are delusional as you are and also belief ridiculous things, yet you cannot convince them to abandon their beliefs and follow yours. Similarly, Muslims can't convince you to join them. Hindus also belive their delusions and do not give a fuck about mohammed or jesus.. all of you have mastered ways for your brain to automatically reject other people's magic and defend your own magic. The fact that your brain is mischievous enough to convince you that it is easier to defend a negative shows the depth of your self deceit.
All Glory and Honour, Dominion and Power belongs to You. It's so amazing to see how God has touched Ayaan's heart we pray that God will continue His work in you and in All of us🙏
I just love this woman; for her stuggles, intellect, foretitude, and charm. I never doubt she would eventually emerge to do the will of our Father... her journey was well scripted, as it was for Paul: once called Saul. Be blessed beautiful spirit. May God, our Lord continues to shine His Light upon you. Safe journey.
What a wonderful interview - loving Ayaan's story and wisdom. "Even if you rebel against [Christianity] you need to know what you're rebelling against"
I love God's advice about anxiety and mental health - there's no point in worrying and it doesn't actually change anything. Help with your hands, work hard, but don't worry. God has so much to offer the people who hate them most.
Well done, Speak Life team - I think her most significant public outing on her faith to date. She is learning so much and making a kingdom difference at the same time. Never had John 3:16 had more meaning when you consider her narrative.
Recently heard a series about Jesus' 'Sermon on the Mount', so Ayaan's phrase "spiritual bankruptcy" caught my attention. It was Jesus who said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs in the kingdom of heaven."
I could listen to Ayaan all day!! I am only just finding out about her today but my goodness, totally blown away by what I’ve heard so far - this is only my 3rd UA-cam video of her in the last 5 hours or so lol!!
The concept of submission to love is completely different from the concept of submission to rules (that can make it power play). To submit to God and pray 'help' and finding God's love in the answer makes this an amazing interview. Thanks for posting.
Thank U Lord Jesus for revealing Your salvation to Ayaan!!!! I prayed for u, Ayaan, to come to know Christ after listening to you on Hoover Institution. I too experienced the dark night of the soul before surrendering to Christ after my existential philosophy classes brought me to despair over how to view the world - so I totally agree w/u that your depression came from the lack of spirituality. I ❤️how your brain works in how u explain deep things so simply sometimes u remind me of CS Lewis he too thought like u did when he first sat in church as a believer - so look forward to meeting u one day, little sister! ❤
@@dejenyalawessonno. But you have to be a Christian (surrender to God) to experience the fullness of His love in Christ, which is what this commenter and Ayaan were referencing. If you reject Christ you reject God’s ultimate love offering, ie you are not surrendered to His love.
@loganwillett2835 you know, you are totally ignoring more than half the world population who are as loving as you are, perhaps more loving but not buying into your faithfully christian ideology. Think about it.
@@dejenyalawesson I never said there weren’t non Christian’s more loving than me. I don’t say this to be rude, but you’re genuinely missing the point. The idea is not about being loving, it’s about surrendering to someone else’s love. There’s a big difference. Although I do think if we surrender to God’s love we become more loving than we used to be
I loved Aayan as a fellow african migrant in Netherlands and now she is my sister in Christ. How cool is that. Loved her intelligence and tenacity and her ability to master the ‘darned’ hard dutch language in record time and even do higher academic pursuit. I barely passed my automobile theory… but now she is running with the bible too’ I too came from a tribal world… born in exile in Uganda as. Tutsi kid only to flee to kenya, tanzania and then UK. I too was blown away by western formula and before that the Tanzanian formula by Nyerere. But the West was flabbergasting as i entered UK in 1985 at the height of ‘free Nelson Mandela’!! I was so impressed these people cared ….. in time i saw all eroding into selfhate where iam a big fan of Pim Fortuin and later Thierry Baudet above our Aayaan… I could go on and on… love you Sis❤
What a great interview with so much truth that is desperately needed. A revival in the Christian domain. Thank you Ayaan and your host. We need more of such truth.❤
I’m half way through this interview and had no idea who the interviewer was. But he’s speaking on the exact topic of a book I’m currently reading. I read the title and it’s the author of the book I’m reading - the air we breath. Haha.
Hi Glen, having heard the interview through I am so struck by it and see it as a valuable resource in our understanding of where we are as Christians in the west at the moment. The great value of the interview was not only your wonderful questions and the insights that they drew but Ayaan’s powerful testimony which comes from someone who understands atheists and where they are coming from and therefore offers valuable insights about them. I also very much appreciate her eirenic approach to atheism which is built on friendship and the importance of listening to them and trying to understand not just debate with them. It is getting behind their arguments to see the true source. This is a wonderful help for the church and I am so grateful for it. May God bless the work you and others are doing in this. Mark
Am from uganda 🇺🇬 east Africa my prayer was always i wishe she can read the bible and find the truth and really God did it. thank you Jesus christ for her salvation and may her grow more stronger in faith spiritually in Jesus's name Amen 🙏
When you have come to the end yourself, and most will, we will call out to a higher unknown... it is human nature. God made us with a need to seek Him, a void of some sort, and we do seek Him. However, plenty gets misdirected by the lures of the world, seeking comfort, its charm, pleasures and money. Only ONE can satisfy the emptiness... call on Him and He will find you... Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
It’s good to hear Ayaan. God Bless you and keep you safe. I guess Dawkins must be feeling ‘Left Behind’ on his way to ‘Enlightenment’. I do hope he will catch up with you, Ayaan. Just be patient with him as he needs to make up his own mind and use his FreeWill that God has given him.
Some miss the most useful point here, apologia. Before she was able to receive forgiveness and redemption, she had to witness or experience another way and suffer greatly for it. That precipitated a look around for something better (psychology, alcohol, drugs) and so she found Christianity, then found how well Christianity merges with her conscience and with life. Only then could she move from her childhood teaching of SUBMISSION to the Christian SURRENDER that forgives, heals and transforms broken souls into children adopted into God's family by Him thru Jesus' sacrifice on behalf of all currently on planet Earth. Here we are given by her a strong rationale for approaching secular "Christians" with the whole truth of John, "I am the way the truth and the life; no man [or woman] comes to the [heavenly] Father but by me."
Ayaan is a hero because she is so exceptionally brave intelligent and wise. Her way of describing the problems that western society is facing .It is truly wonderful thatl she has chosen to follow Yeshua Messiah :the only Way to the Kingdom of Heaven He is the living Word of God the Truth and the Life. May the Eternal One God keep her safe and bless her life abundantly
Ayaan, we are praying for you everyday that you still encounter the greet love of God in the sacrament like the confession and the Eucharist. Your journey has just started. We will pray for you the more
@@mrjensen1135 Hello. As a Christian (and just another human being) I really appreciate your respectfulness and honesty in your comment. It is a breath of fresh air! I especially am intrigued by your not being “surprised” about her decision. Can you elaborate on that a bit?
How BEAUTIFUL❤ GREAT to hear this! I read her book 'HERETIC' & had wondered ever since what became of her odyssey into western culture but was concerned for her as she hadn't expressed these sentiments as it was an earlier perigrination? penambultion?Incarnation?
Atheism does lead to intelligent questioning of belief systems. Sadly Abrahamic religions fall apart in questioning. Eastern religions hold the higher aspirations of human- freedom, choice, equality, coexistence, nonviolence, inner knowledge and women's rights as Divine Feminine. As atheist it is wise to seek deep to align our higher Self to the pathway within of joy & Light.
so hinduism does not teach to b*rn women alive after the death of husband ?what about budhha at first refused women as his disciple and later he said a nun should always bow down to a monk even if she is 50 years old and the monk is 20 years old?your scripture does not teach being born as a woman is a bad karma and women can't achieve enlightment until being born as man again?broh plz😂
@@nandhi108 hello. Thanks for the honest and interesting comment. I was interested in your statement, “sadly Abrahamic religions fall apart in questioning”. I’m curious as to what you mean by this?
@jcloo9052 When we realize the Divine within ourselves - who cares of the Names or namelessness we accord Source God Goddess? As Divine we treat each other in goodness. In fact we worship each other. "Religion" now is blessings not curse to humanity.
@ Thank you. I think I understand your viewpoint. To clarify, how do “the Abrahamic religions fall short”, according to your response? As I searched for several years for the fullest answer to the big questions of meaning and purpose in life, I found that Jesus is quite a good response. I’m interested to hear from you what you think of Him and whether he (as one of the abrahamic faiths) falls short? Thanks!
No world view answers the questions of life then Christianity. Origen, purpose, morality and destiny. Logical consistence, empirical adequacy and experiential relevance.
I confess I am, perhaps one of several Christians, who prayed for Ayan. Several years ago when listening to her I sensed a profound sadness in her.

I admired her when she was a New Atheist explaining to us in the West the problems with Islam as one who was formerly a Muslim. She has recently embraced the Way and the Word of God. That too is amazing and a boost of faith to fellow Xns.
Having read Heretic and Nomad some years ago, it is fascinating and encouraging to see Ayaan's spiritual journey come to this point. Quite a story.
Please pray for my son who has turned to atheism, having spending years of his growing in embracing Christianity,which and his mother have lived for. lives for
I hope it hasn't damaged your relationship.
@@davidsalami3069 my heart aches with yours. Praying for you all.
Your son has been freed from your delusions. Why do you want him join your madness? Your son is an honest person, he has refused to join your self deceit and hypocrisy.
I really appreciate the idea of Jesus rising from the dead and offering us forgiveness after his death. It feels like he’s lifting the weight of accountability off our shoulders and extending a hand of grace to us all. It’s wonderful to see how Jesus truly embodies the teachings he shares!
Excited for this!
You get a mention, Paul!
I read his article today and I keep thanking God for her life. May God continue to be with her and keep her
The advantage of atheism is that it is just a negative- in a debate it is much easier to attack another position but much harder to defend or offer a better alternative. If you have ever talked to a negative person, nothing you do can make them happy or grateful
The distinguishing factor of atheism is a lack of reason. It takes no reasoning to lack belief. A rock can lack belief and reason. Yet atheists make a conclusion that a god does not exist.
There are atheists that have reasons, but the ones that claim they don't need a reason didn't reason themselves into atheism.
And I think you'll find that most such people are atheists
Also, the atheist feels they achieve victory by simply declaring there is no evidence. Ignoring the Laws of Nature, DNA, the unfolding intelligible universe and more. All reasonable evidence that many feel points toward an Intelligent Source for our universe.
You should see when people use their own impossible standards of proof against them. A podcaster I followed uses it to argue against them with the whole "the moon landing was faked" narrative and they get their nuts twisted.
You are a mad person and a liar. Nobody has ever denied things like dreams, air, microwave, gravity etc. We cannot see these things but they are demonstrable and no rational person doubts them.
Muslims are just are delusional as you are and also belief ridiculous things, yet you cannot convince them to abandon their beliefs and follow yours. Similarly, Muslims can't convince you to join them. Hindus also belive their delusions and do not give a fuck about mohammed or jesus.. all of you have mastered ways for your brain to automatically reject other people's magic and defend your own magic.
The fact that your brain is mischievous enough to convince you that it is easier to defend a negative shows the depth of your self deceit.
This is such a beautiful discussion. May you both be blessed by the Almighty God. Greetings from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Tanzania my favourite african country
All Glory and Honour, Dominion and Power belongs to You. It's so amazing to see how God has touched Ayaan's heart we pray that God will continue His work in you and in All of us🙏
I just love this woman; for her stuggles, intellect, foretitude, and charm. I never doubt she would eventually emerge to do the will of our Father... her journey was well scripted, as it was for Paul: once called Saul. Be blessed beautiful spirit. May God, our Lord continues to shine His Light upon you. Safe journey.
Hallelujah, what a heartfelt and erudite presentation of the need yo share Jesus's love with our neighbours. By God's grace we have work to do.
What a wonderful interview - loving Ayaan's story and wisdom. "Even if you rebel against [Christianity] you need to know what you're rebelling against"
Lord, I pray for Ayaan. Bless her in amazing ways - wisdom and fortitude in this new season of her life.
This is profoundly moving. God bless you Ayaan.
Excellent discussion full of heartfelt insights by both Glen and Ayaan. Thank you.
I love Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Such a brilliant and beautiful soul. Thank you for this wonderful interview!
You love her because she is now christian? Love your Kinship. I see that. Typical.
Did you have the same opinion of her pre-conversion?
@@scottgodlewski306 yes, definitely! I read Infidel in 2009 and I've been a big fan of hers ever since.
Love this woman she’s awesome
I love God's advice about anxiety and mental health - there's no point in worrying and it doesn't actually change anything. Help with your hands, work hard, but don't worry. God has so much to offer the people who hate them most.
Deep and heartfelt conversation. Who was that brave therapist that opened the door? God bless them.
I am enchanted!!! Bring more of these interviews/stories to re enchant the world!! Thanks Glen and God bless you always.
Well done, Speak Life team - I think her most significant public outing on her faith to date. She is learning so much and making a kingdom difference at the same time. Never had John 3:16 had more meaning when you consider her narrative.
I could listen to her all day. Very insightful
Ayaan is a living courage to truth and genuine life. She spent all her life reading her own deep self.
Amazing! Well done Speak Life for a great interview
Thank you Ayaan, you are an incredible woman
Thank you Jesus for your Church, continue to ready the bride Lord 💕
Recently heard a series about Jesus' 'Sermon on the Mount', so Ayaan's phrase "spiritual bankruptcy" caught my attention.
It was Jesus who said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs in the kingdom of heaven."
This is an amazing connection.
I could listen to Ayaan all day!! I am only just finding out about her today but my goodness, totally blown away by what I’ve heard so far - this is only my 3rd UA-cam video of her in the last 5 hours or so lol!!
Ayaan is an authentic real human! Kudos to her and God bless .
Did you have the same opinion of her pre-conversion?
I’ve greatly admired Ayaan for years (since my high school days). Love watching her journey ❤️
Truth, righteousness and honesty. Ayaan embodies these virtues. That's why I listen to her carefully.
May God bless Ayaan and may God bless us all.
The concept of submission to love is completely different from the concept of submission to rules (that can make it power play). To submit to God and pray 'help' and finding God's love in the answer makes this an amazing interview. Thanks for posting.
Covers a range of topics. Excellent dialogue/interview!
Thank U Lord Jesus for revealing Your salvation to Ayaan!!!! I prayed for u, Ayaan, to come to know Christ after listening to you on Hoover Institution. I too experienced the dark night of the soul before surrendering to Christ after my existential philosophy classes brought me to despair over how to view the world - so I totally agree w/u that your depression came from the lack of spirituality. I ❤️how your brain works in how u explain deep things so simply sometimes u remind me of CS Lewis he too thought like u did when he first sat in church as a believer - so look forward to meeting u one day, little sister! ❤
Incredible statement, “it’s a surrender to love.”
Do you have to be christian to love?
@@dejenyalawessonno. But you have to be a Christian (surrender to God) to experience the fullness of His love in Christ, which is what this commenter and Ayaan were referencing. If you reject Christ you reject God’s ultimate love offering, ie you are not surrendered to His love.
@loganwillett2835 you know, you are totally ignoring more than half the world population who are as loving as you are, perhaps more loving but not buying into your faithfully christian ideology. Think about it.
@loganwillett2835 Anyway, why would you want to surrender to an idea that has no backing of a single evidence?
@@dejenyalawesson I never said there weren’t non Christian’s more loving than me. I don’t say this to be rude, but you’re genuinely missing the point. The idea is not about being loving, it’s about surrendering to someone else’s love. There’s a big difference. Although I do think if we surrender to God’s love we become more loving than we used to be
Listening to you both, with great admiration, from Singapore.
I loved Aayan as a fellow african migrant in Netherlands and now she is my sister in Christ. How cool is that. Loved her intelligence and tenacity and her ability to master the ‘darned’ hard dutch language in record time and even do higher academic pursuit. I barely passed my automobile theory… but now she is running with the bible too’
I too came from a tribal world… born in exile in Uganda as. Tutsi kid only to flee to kenya, tanzania and then UK.
I too was blown away by western formula and before that the Tanzanian formula by Nyerere. But the West was flabbergasting as i entered UK in 1985 at the height of ‘free Nelson Mandela’!! I was so impressed these people cared ….. in time i saw all eroding into selfhate where iam a big fan of Pim Fortuin and later Thierry Baudet above our Aayaan…
I could go on and on… love you Sis❤
Thank you sir for bringing Ayaan ,I love her❤️❤️❤️
This lady is getting deep in her new belief really fast
Judeo Christian is an oxymoron
Bet she has a book out or coming. I am so disappointed 8n her
The colse she to the truth, the deep is getting into. Atheism is a very shallow religion, thats why.
It was always in her. ❤
@@AeiSedai1976 lol... I'm disappointed how ideologically superficial you are. Is it your kind of "faith"?
What a great interview with so much truth that is desperately needed. A revival in the Christian domain. Thank you Ayaan and your host. We need more of such truth.❤
An amazing testimony!
I’m half way through this interview and had no idea who the interviewer was. But he’s speaking on the exact topic of a book I’m currently reading. I read the title and it’s the author of the book I’m reading - the air we breath. Haha.
Ha! Enjoy!
Hi Glen, having heard the interview through I am so struck by it and see it as a valuable resource in our understanding of where we are as Christians in the west at the moment. The great value of the interview was not only your wonderful questions and the insights that they drew but Ayaan’s powerful testimony which comes from someone who understands atheists and where they are coming from and therefore offers valuable insights about them. I also very much appreciate her eirenic approach to atheism which is built on friendship and the importance of listening to them and trying to understand not just debate with them. It is getting behind their arguments to see the true source. This is a wonderful help for the church and I am so grateful for it. May God bless the work you and others are doing in this. Mark
outstanding, thanks for sharing this.
This is such a beautiful conversation!
Sooo beautiful!!!
I love and pray for my Muslim neighbors...
Fantastic interview! Well done for setting this up @speaklife
Am from uganda 🇺🇬 east Africa my prayer was always i wishe she can read the bible and find the truth and really God did it. thank you Jesus christ for her salvation and may her grow more stronger in faith spiritually in Jesus's name Amen 🙏
When you have come to the end yourself, and most will, we will call out to a higher unknown... it is human nature. God made us with a need to seek Him, a void of some sort, and we do seek Him. However, plenty gets misdirected by the lures of the world, seeking comfort, its charm, pleasures and money. Only ONE can satisfy the emptiness... call on Him and He will find you... Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
It’s good to hear Ayaan. God Bless you and keep you safe. I guess Dawkins must be feeling ‘Left Behind’ on his way to ‘Enlightenment’. I do hope he will catch up with you, Ayaan. Just be patient with him as he needs to make up his own mind and use his FreeWill that God has given him.
His world is based on reality, not on fantasy.
Free will; Did those innocent Palestinian babies have free will?
Beautiful interview. God bless her.
Thank you very much Glen for this phenomenal interview. ❤
Some miss the most useful point here, apologia.
Before she was able to receive forgiveness and redemption, she had to witness or experience another way and suffer greatly for it. That precipitated a look around for something better (psychology, alcohol, drugs) and so she found Christianity, then found how well Christianity merges with her conscience and with life. Only then could she move from her childhood teaching of SUBMISSION to the Christian SURRENDER that forgives, heals and transforms broken souls into children adopted into God's family by Him thru Jesus' sacrifice on behalf of all currently on planet Earth.
Here we are given by her a strong rationale for approaching secular "Christians" with the whole truth of John, "I am the way the truth and the life; no man [or woman] comes to the [heavenly] Father but by me."
Sister Ayaan.... God bless and keep you.
Very nice that you were able to interview her.
Thank you Ayaan.
Ayaan is a hero because she is so exceptionally brave intelligent and wise. Her way of describing the problems that western society is facing .It is truly wonderful thatl she has chosen to follow Yeshua Messiah :the only Way to the Kingdom of Heaven He is the living Word of God the Truth and the Life. May the Eternal One God keep her safe and bless her life abundantly
I like that Mr Glenn was by some of his questions testing to see if Ayaan believed some the orthodox doctrines of christianity 😀😊 brilliant😮
Ayaan, we are praying for you everyday that you still encounter the greet love of God in the sacrament like the confession and the Eucharist. Your journey has just started. We will pray for you the more
Thank you for the interview! Love Ayaan and this channel ❤
Fantastic discussion. Thank you!
Ayaan, 'for such a time as this' you were called.
23:14 this is gold i never saw it like this wow again!
Praise GOD!
Wow, great interview
Definitely the Truth sets her free and may Dawkins find it too. Jesus saves
This really is an interesting conversation. Thank you very much.
Great intro, great production values, great interview, even greater Gospel and God!
Great interview Glen, great woman
Keep telling your story. It's very powerful ❤
Awesome...again
I admire Ayaan Hirsi Ali♥️✨💫
Am an Atheist and am not surprised why she converted to christianity. I respect her decision
I respect her feelings but I'm not sure I respect her conversion.
Her decision was to emigrate to the free wealthy West.
And she lied during her immigration process
This yells "opportunist"
@@mrjensen1135 Hello. As a Christian (and just another human being) I really appreciate your respectfulness and honesty in your comment. It is a breath of fresh air! I especially am intrigued by your not being “surprised” about her decision. Can you elaborate on that a bit?
PLEASE GET IT ON THE PODCAST ASAPPPPPPPPPPPPP
It's out now :)
Wise words with love! Thank you, God bless you🌹
Wow. Total scoop!
How BEAUTIFUL❤ GREAT to hear this! I read her book 'HERETIC' & had wondered ever since what became of her odyssey into western culture but was concerned for her as she hadn't expressed these sentiments as it was an earlier perigrination? penambultion?Incarnation?
Atheism does lead to intelligent questioning of belief systems. Sadly Abrahamic religions fall apart in questioning. Eastern religions hold the higher aspirations of human- freedom, choice, equality, coexistence, nonviolence, inner knowledge and women's rights as Divine Feminine.
As atheist it is wise to seek deep to align our higher Self to the pathway within of joy & Light.
so hinduism does not teach to b*rn women alive after the death of husband ?what about budhha at first refused women as his disciple and later he said a nun should always bow down to a monk even if she is 50 years old and the monk is 20 years old?your scripture does not teach being born as a woman is a bad karma and women can't achieve enlightment until being born as man again?broh plz😂
@@nandhi108 hello. Thanks for the honest and interesting comment. I was interested in your statement, “sadly Abrahamic religions fall apart in questioning”. I’m curious as to what you mean by this?
@jcloo9052 When we realize the Divine within ourselves - who cares of the Names or namelessness we accord Source God Goddess? As Divine we treat each other in goodness. In fact we worship each other. "Religion" now is blessings not curse to humanity.
@ Thank you. I think I understand your viewpoint. To clarify, how do “the Abrahamic religions fall short”, according to your response? As I searched for several years for the fullest answer to the big questions of meaning and purpose in life, I found that Jesus is quite a good response. I’m interested to hear from you what you think of Him and whether he (as one of the abrahamic faiths) falls short? Thanks!
No world view answers the questions of life then Christianity.
Origen, purpose, morality and destiny. Logical consistence, empirical adequacy and experiential relevance.
