- A lot of people have been asking where I am, why I’m not posting on social media, and if I am okay - that is what this video is about.
“Therefore, the information we allow into our consciousness becomes extremely important; it is, in fact, what determines the content and quality of life."

Krysten Janzen ha. Same here
Mike, it takes strength to share your faith journey. God is working in you and through you! So good to see your smile and white shirts back :)
Katelin Simons what an amazing comment👌🏻
C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity was what really helped me understand christianity. It really breaks down what it is and what it isn't. Highly recommended
clark bolding 👍
I’ve had a very similar journey with Christianity. My mind is very practical and no nonsense. I felt very similarly about Christians too. A couple of years ago I decided to follow a year plan of reading the Bible and it really has impacted my life greatly. Even if you don’t choose to believe in Christianity, one can argue that it’s a wonderful guide to living life and treating others. It’s downright crazy to me that I watched this video today because I have been trying to get back into connecting again. What I found before and now (especially with this video) is that once I decide to open up to it, all sorts of things come my way that seem more than coincidental. I know that will sound hogwash to people but it’s true for me and I feel it. Science isn’t always the end all be all. I’d love it if you kept us posted and let us follow along on your journey. I think many of us are there too.
Thanks for being honest and sharing, Mike!! I'm a believer who also thinks and hustles ;) ...regardless of where end up shaking out I think it's cool you shared and hope you continue to pursue your own thoughts and faith. respect.
Adam Vazquez appreciate your comment my man
Nothing wrong with honestly Mike. We're all on a journey. I myself walked away from my faith for different reasons but I'm getting back. You do you. I enjoy your content whatever it may be. It encourages me🙂
Niccole M :)
Bro, I’m so happy you’re back and I’m happy for you in all. I’m happy you picked up the Bible that’s a blessing! God is always good! Bless up! 🙏🏾
Great video! I completely agree, the way I feel when I spend too much time on social media is unhappy and unaccomplished. Good for you for deciding to read the Bible. Reading the Bible is so important it has benefited my life in every aspect. Thank you for sharing! 🤗
Danielle Brucks I’m happy to hear that Danielle :)
Glad to see you again, Mike! Happy to hear about your faith journey. The Bible really is a profound book. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the future!
Trevor Ottman thanks Trevor
I had to get off Facebook and Instagram it was messing with my mental health. I still do UA-cam because I feel it’s different
I am so hype! Missed you so much. Welcome back!
Samantha McWilliams thanks Samantha :)
glad you're back! thank you for having the courage to talk about your experience with religion and look forward to your next vid.
daniel long thank you man!
Welcome back Mike! I love the quality and honesty of your content. It’s provided me some vital, real wisdom in times of need. I appreciate what you do
Sean Moulton thank you Sean
Definitely the best notification I've received in a while! So happy to see you back on YT man!
Tyler Pearson my mannnn
Honest and well articulated as always Mike; I’d be inaccurate if I said you weren’t missed 😉 - keep hiking your hike! 👍🏼
David Knipe o yeah💪🏻
Welcome back bro! I can tell that you are impacting lives even without social content. Thank you for being such a great mentor! 🙏
Turo Virta great chat yesterday my brother!
Welcome back! Been following for a minute. Pumped that you’re reading! Started roughly 6 months ago and haven’t gone back since. 🙏🏾 looking forward to the new content.
The online business mentorship is the best thing I've ever signed up for - no joke. Good to hear what you've been up to other than that - love the realness 👊👊👊
Appreciate the genuine transparency and think more people will respect that than what may be lost in talking about your faith. Glad you are back Mike!
Randy Clemens thanks Randy
Happy to see you back! You’ve been missed. I’ve admired your work ethic and sincerity from the start and love that you’re brave enough to share your faith journey. Obviously by the crazy amount of positive feedback, I’m not alone in my thoughts. You have a ton of support out here, keep on doing you!
Pumped to hear from you again. Great stuff, love hearing about you and the Bible.
I'm happy for you. Thanks for sharing. Great to see you post again. 😊
Super glad to see you! Along with many, I was wondering what you were up to. Investing in yourself is always time well spent. And a faith journey, although hard to explain to those who don’t believe, is truly worth it and will produce much fruit in your life. I am always impressed with your honesty and self evaluation/reflection! Grateful for the update!
Mike I’m very happy to see a new video from you and excited to hear more about your journey of rediscovering Christianity.
Nelson Garcia great to see you here brother
I’m not a 22 year old male that’s questioning my curiosity about religion...and I still received a ton of value from this post :) so good to see you back on UA-cam ♥️♥️♥️ Glad your social media break led you to a positive habit that’s had a profound impact on your life. Also, appreciate your candor about your previous perspective about religion and how a social media break doesn’t always mean super productivity (hello online chess!) At the end of the day, we are all human. Thanks for always keeping it real, Mike!!!
Just thought about you the other day as I was reloading apps on my phone. Appreciate the update!
In the big picture, our paths aren't entirely something that we can control. We can, but try too hard and we can be too hard on ourselves, hard in our relationship to our environment. There's an unpredictability and whimsy to life. Glad you're following your impulses and discovering along the way. In terms of social media or no, a lot of content or a little, just do what works for you. A couple lines:
From Ecclesiastes:
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity..."
From Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go":
"When something's not right, it's wrong."
I'm a writer, card player, poet, interested in how our bodies function, but also spent much of my adult life traveling the world studying Christian theology. That something in there resonates with you doesn't make you dumb, an asshole, or pretentious (though Christianity can be great cover for all three). At the end of the day, we all live stories that preexist our choices. Feel free to hmu on IG: dan.morehead, if you ever want to shoot the shit. Glad to have you back for as long (and as much) as you are.
Mike I've missed your vids in the sub list. Glad to see you speaking openly about your faith. The fact that God has given you the wisdom to reopen the word of God is such a blessing in disguise.
You are a very brave individual. Thank you for your refreshing honesty and humility!
Welcome back Mike. You were missed and thank you for sharing your testimony. I think public perception focuses so much on the extremes of every religion that is fails to see how the day to day workings can enhance your life. Been on that struggle bus for a long time. I feel I am learning to find peace. Can’t wait to hear and see more from you. Much love and hugs.
Welcome back in whatever context that looks like :) Isn't it amazing how when we turn off the noise we get to hear what our soul really needs?
Happy at the fact you’re taking care of your mental space. People can say whatever but it’s great that you’re doing what’s best for you
SUP TEAM WELCOME TO THE VIDEO ❤️😉 glad to see you back bro, and kudos for the honesty
🦞
God says that if you seek him you will find him. God doesn't lie. There's a reason those lines/chapters are standing out to you. I'm happy to see you on this spiritual journey. Keep goin' 🙏🏻💪🏻
Awesome testimony, Mike!!! Glad to hear you are doing well!! Keep on crushing it!!!
David Christianson agree 100%
Mike’s back - yay.
Just got to watch the whole video.
The heart. Not the mind. Very powerful.
So happy you made this video.
Praying. Embracing religious mind is something I work on and find it a great source of comfort.
I am mostly absent from social too. But I know I should be disciplined and use it for marketing.
Best wishes
Hey Mike! Happy to hear about your last 4 months and the things you're thinking about.
I've gone on quite the ride with religion over the past year and a bit (Christianity specifically), one of the things that really bridged some gaps I had was listening to Alan Watts's interpretation of the gospel.
I know you won't want to discuss these topics on UA-cam, but know that you would have a solid little base of listeners if you wanted to discuss these types of things on a different platform.
Back with G-Vee! Stoked that you're back Mke
Awesome to hear all these changes! Definitely makes me want to make some inward reflections. Keep doing you and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead!
arcourtneies 🙏🙏
Best video you’ve ever posted. There is strength in transparency. Cheers.
Mike, Like everyone else, I'm glad to see you again. Props on being so open about your faith journey. One phrase that may help you is "fides quaerens intellectum" which translates to faith seeking understanding. Please know of my continued prayers for you and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Good for you for posting your truth buddy. Keep doing what you need/want to do and we’ll be here waiting for the next update. You are a very knowledgeable man and do/will help a lot of people in your lifetime. Much love from Chicago!
!!! So happy to hear all your thoughts again on here. I'm an atheist ex-Christian, but I'm studying at divinity school right now precisely because of how pulled in I am by sacred texts. It's totally cool to inhabit a liminal space between religious and not. So interested to hear more, glad you're doing well. Thanks for being so open!
1. YAY you're back!
2. I saw your video on why fitness actually matters late 2016 and had been discussing with my mother why she needs to take care of her health, you said it perfectly and I shared your video with her. I'm not all that into fitness but subscribed to you back then, because your real, honest and just say it like it is, I enjoy your videos. I had questioned your beliefs long ago and thought to myself, man if he knew .. the influence he'd have! ... here you are reading scripture! If you pray to know if it's TRUE, you will get an answer! Happy to have you back friend!
What’s up Mike! Man I’m totally with you on social media. I LOVE training my clients but the energy to produce content for social media is just not there and hasn’t been for a year. It’s exhausting to even think about haha. On the topic of religion, I’m where the old Mike was. I’m agnostic. I think there’s something but I know I’m not smart enough to comprehend what started it all. I do share a lot of the same concerns as you had with organized religion. The biggest issue I have with any religion is the belief that if you aren’t part of said religion you’re going to hell. All that being said, there are some wonderful things to be learned in the Bible. Great to hear from you my brother!
Coming in 4 months later and still rockin the fresh white Ts! Love it bro, glad to see a video out 👊🏼
Coach Malek 😂😂always!
Good to see you back! I was wondering recently where Mike's videos had gone then remembered you did the social media shutoff. I've tried this with a few things recently and noticed they always get replaced with another vice, another "addiction" or habit. Being aware of that fact has helped. Looking forward to future videos!
Yes!!!! 🙌🏻 I’ve missed this!
Winona Marx :)
Happy to see you again Mike. Glad you took some time for you. Can't wait to see more from you.
Mik Parker thanks Mik
I can’t love this video more! I asked you about six months ago to read the Bible through. I don’t know why. I did this two years ago, front to back and I’m on my third time through now and it’s changed my life profoundly!
This was unreal, so glad to see youre still rocking
What a profound video. Sharing that life realization and admitting your flaws shows vulnerability. That's a strength and everyone will respect you more for it. Well done. And you impacted me to buy the Bible to read it myself. I see a lot of myself in you, and you've inspired me to test my religious assumptions. Thanks, Mike. Keep the deep thoughts coming!
Welcome back! Good to hear from you!
I love you’re honesty. Love wins that’s what the big book says 💫
Good to see you back Mike, remember that we are all here for you and we are your friends, if you need us, we're here!
Sounds like you connected with yourself in a positive way 💛
Awesome stuff. Proud to call you my coach!
Never have I wanted to be friends with a UA-camr more than with you. Glad you’re back:)
I was just thinking two days ago about how you haven’t posted anything. Then this popped up. Cool to hear about your reflection on no social media and also you diving into scripture. I think the teachings in the Bible at face value are great life and business lessons. I have found You don’t have to buy into the tendencies of religious groups to have a strong faith or spiritual practice. Glad you are doing well man!
Hi Mike. Have been wondering where you've been. Good to see you're back :-)
Joanne White :)
Joanne White hope you are well Jo!
Still wearing white shirts!
How you feel is how you feel.
It's good to readjust from time to time.
Do what feels right. Take care of you
So glad to see you back on Ytube! Mad respect for the Bible lol. Anyone with a few times around the block under their belt knows the Bible is one of many great resources for self-exploration and personal discovery. You do you!
Hi Mike, I’m a new subscriber. I’m actually going to be deleting social media for a month or more just to see how much I can benefit from without it and see where I can go without it. This video has motivated me to do so too. I am excited for the most part. You’re a great inspiration and very hardworking and sharing a raw video like this takes some confidence so salute to you and I wish you the best in the future.
So happy for you man! Praying for you also! Jesus loves you man.
I just read this today and I didn’t know why...
“For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:21-24 ESV
Missed you Mike! ❤️
ncarl05 Hi Nora :)
So great to have an upload! Welcome back.
Matt M thanks Matt
Good to have you back Mike :) Your presence has been missed!
TheCM004 :)
So happy when I saw that notification mail!! :) Glad seeing you in a good place, executing and striving in and from the year of the robot. Here is actually that one 22 year old dude that always associates believe and religion with weakness. Though my younger brother startet reading the bible (after I got him into JBP, after I got into him from you) and we just giftet our father the Koran to his birthday, because he said he always has premade stereotypes about this religion without never read the actual word. So I guess its my time to dig into the bible. Thanks a lot Mike. When I was seeing that notification this morning I was mentioning to my gf that the main "Ehrenmann" (a german saying for "Honorman/Man of Honor") has uploaded. I appreciate your real, honest and straight talk and content a lot. Love seeing you being you and giving this to your community without anything fake. Also seeing all the great, thoughtful and appreciating comments makes me happy for you and this community. Keep it up Ehrenmann!! Love.
Hi Mike, great to hear from you. I asked Mr Staples (on his twitch stream) if he'd been in contact with you and glad you're still helping those lads. GL with every thing and training Mr Vee - look forward to more content when you're ready! cheers.
Ryan Swann good to hear from you man!
Hi Mike, good stuff. The way Jordan Peterson connected stories from the bible to the underlying principles of human nature gave me another way to look at it. I haven’t gotten to the spiritual and reading part, yet. Don’t let some uncertainty stop you. You never know where you end up 😊. All the best for the next couple of weeks!
So candid and so brave. Thanks for checking in. I've thought of you often.
Wow! I love the video, thank you for being so candid. Your message was for someone, and it will make a difference. Never apologize for what the lord is using you for =).
Welcome back! Listening to your journey with Christianity and God was good and very typical. Not to undermine your experience!!!! I have found most “those Christian’s”that you referred to did not read the Bible actively. They were the Church attenders that went because that was what they were “suppose to do”. The Bible, if actively, studied changes a person. So glad God is working through you. I say this because I two am actively reading the Bible and previously was just an active Christian that did not. Being a Christian is different to me now. Wishing you all the best.
Man! As a Christian my eyes lit up on the Bible part! So awesome Mike! In a world that is ever changing what is real what is not, God remains the same and its such a blessing.
Glad to have you back buddy. Happy all is good.
Morgan Scott thanks Morgan
Missed you, dude. Nice to hear your voice again.
So good Mike. My older sons have been learning much from you and sharing with me. I love your approach to reading the Bible. I would love to hear more in the future how that goes. I recently have been feeling bad after consuming social media and it's been extremely hard to break ties with FB and other platforms. They were designed to addict. I'm on your email list so this video caught my eye. Thanks
It's amazing what's in the Bible when you take the time to hear what it actually says and not what you think it says. I've been discovering that in 2019 as well. Thanks for being so open, Mike.
Anne appreciate your comment Ann I agree
Anne Anne;)
Definitely didn’t expect the video to address The Bible - but good for you for not taking something at face value! You’ve always inspired me to clean up my act in a good way. Glad you’re back!
God bless you Mike!
The man, myth, and fitness legend returns!!! 🙌💪💪
Tyler McBroom haha too much praise. Appreciate you man :)
Good to see you back Mike. Always love your brutal honesty that’s why people follow your content. Always had a similar stand on religion maybe I need to be more open.
Adam Galley good to see you too man
Mike. Vacanti. Is. Back.
Enrico Incarnati lol
Great to see you Mike! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Welcome back Mike, you have been missed! Looking forward to seeing whatever content you decide to put out, whenever you decide to do it. You always bring value. 🤗
Just good to see your face, big man! :)
- Austin Current
Physique Development yeah👊🏻
Yo Mike! Good to see you back on yt!
Welcome back! Love the thoughtfulness behind the one take. Stoked for you to be reunited with Gary!
Love the update! Glad all is well!!!
Good to see you again Mike!
So excited for you to be exploring your faith! It will only make the quality of your life better! All love ♥️
Welp... that was not what I was expecting you to say !!! Lol. You seem chill and healthy so Im happy for you. You do you boo, if reading the Bible makes you happy... more power to you!
I missed your vids even if I knew your promises of content werent going to happen. Im excited to get more of Jordan's time and excited for you to get to hang with Gary. Im so glad youre well.
Happy about you Mike. Keep being you!
Renāte :)
Glad you’re well. Don’t be so hard on yourself 🙂
Glad to see you're back bro. Also, believing in God doesn't mean that you're weak, quite the opposite. You kneel, close your eyes /that's what I do/ ask the most powerful God to grant you the strength to overcome your challenges (personal and others), and then, with faith, you feel empowered to take on the world. But not in a sense "I'm a big man, i'll show you how I'm a big man", but in a sense "I feel God's blessings with me, and I will win over these challenges just how Jesus won over death". So, that makes you quite powerful if you ask me!
Mike! So surprised to hear you talk about the Bible. Religion, specifically, Christianity is definitely not the in thing to be interested in. Love that you shared that reading it was so different than you expected. I think Many people think as you did that religion is for the weak. I for one would love to hear you talk in the future more about the impact it has had on you. My fav verse. I repeat it over & over in my head: 2 Tim 1:7 “God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Mike, I’m so stoked you’re back, I get how easy it is to slip into bitterness with the “religious machine,” but truly the story that the Word tells is the only one that makes sense to me, coming from someone that has an inordinate amount of time to themselves for introspection and cross analysis 😂 I hope you keep grinding through it!
Jens Kallgren great to hear from you Jens:)
The man the myth the legend is back!!! ✊🏽
Glad ur back, be good to yourself:)
Thank you for your honest videos they are great to watch! And for talking so frankly about your journey with God. You will inspire people,it's hard to find good role models esp for young men.
glad to see you back
