JP-if you want to hear God, read the Bible ❤ (if you want to hear him audibly read it out loud)
love you brother, your transformation is inspiring
This guy is a comedic genius 😂
he is cia agent
Beautiful! I started to actually get down on my knees and pray for the first time in a long time a week ago for the people suffering in the world. I feel my prayers are being fulfilled because of people like JP, you guys, & my dad I called today. Again for the first time in a long time. Let’s get back to God!
Love JP! Praying for God’s Sovereignty in his life. God is AWESOME!!
If God is sovereign, then he's already sovereign and praying for it is pointless. If God is not sovereign, then your prayers won't have the power to change t hat fact and praying for it is pointless.
@patrickbarnes9874
Praying is communication with the living God through Christ the mediator. We are commanded to pray within the Will of God! Sure God's Will will be done in everything that occurs in human history, past and present and future, but in everything by prayer and supplication, we are to make our desires known to Him, even though he knows our thoughts before we utter them. Christianity is Communion with our Creator, and certainly praying for the lost is what we are required to do. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man, availeth much!
Praying for you JP. You are in a position to be an incredible warrior for God if you could step past the new age stuff and fully commit yourself to Jesus as your savior!
Thanks for the interview. Here are a few thoughts for JP to consider:
1 - Devils character. Watch movie that came out this year. "Nefarious" (2023) does a wonderful job of showing the devils' psychology. Pure evil best shown when the demon prevents the last meal.
2 - Be careful of talking and sharing too much at this time. You are in a time when you need to spend time in quiet - listening and learning. The biggest temptation will try to give you a celebrity Christian identity. If the devil can't stop you, he will encourage you to go too far, too fast.
3 - Remember you are a target now - both from the devil directly and from people the devil has influence over.
God Bless
You are so very right. Pride and our our unbridled tongue are Satan's easiest, most fail proof weapons against us.
My thought was he should read The Screwtape Letters. Enjoyed the podcast.
Fantastic conversation. Let’s pray JP fully commits his life to Jesus.
Thank you for pointing him to scripture. That is God's specific words to us. Always.
I love the Bee and Jp, Great to see him on as a guest. Ther’e’s nothing greater than witnessing Jesus changing peoples hearts. (Ezekiel 36:26) He changed mine in 2020 and I haven't been the same since! God bless you and your family Jp, and thanks BB.
Great conversation. JP is definitely growing and the Bee guys definitely pushed him in his growth. And I have grown from hearing the interaction as well.
Great conversations are edifying. I agree.
"That Hideous Strength" is a work of pure truth. I highly recommend it.
Isn’t accidental you’ve become more Christian JP. 😊
Great conversation. Love JPs testimony and his heart. Many of us found our way to or back to God and Jesus in the last 2 years. One of the blessings of these crazy times. God is good. 🙏 Thank you for sharing.
JP hasn't found his way to God or Jesus. He does not believe in a personal God. He said that calling Jesus the Son of God is a way of acknowledging transcendental influence in your life. He said Satan is a "subtle energy". JP is no different than Brett Weinstein's "literally false but metaphorically true" stuff or Jordan Peterson's "Christ is a pscyhological archetype". None of these people believe that God exists. They merely use Christian imagery to dress up their social theories.
What a great convo. I’ll be praying for JP to come closer to Christ. Great job you guys!
I just love how the hosts answer JP's questions with biblical backing! I love how you were essentially ministering him during the interview. Something that stood out is how One of the interviewers said Jesus's name, and there was still a hesitation from JP to say his name. JP I love you and I am still praying for your salvation through Jesus Christ. I pray that you look to the bible for the answers and understand Jeremiah17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately sick, who can understand it. Our feelings are not our best guides! we must deny ourselves and follow Jesus! I look forward and pray for the day that Jesus's name comes out of JP's mouth!
Finally the Babylon Bee & JP Sears together!
I can't help but like JP.
I am really glad someone has given God some attention, people need to know about God now more than ever! Thank You 🙏🏼
One of the best interviews I have seen come out of the BB!
Fear is the fuel for evil to hold of someone, to mold them in the opposite direction of God's influence.
The Bible is the ultimate fear mongering text out there…basically it’s message is, pray to me alone or burn in hell with the sinners. Not sure fear is used more effectively than that bud 😂🤯
@@jmatthews7228 Um, why are you even watching the Babylon Bee then??? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 That's all this channel is, worldly perspectives based on the Holy Bible. Perhaps knock off the condescension before trying to conduct an argument at least, especially an argument that's not even original or enlightening.
Great conversation! Enjoying it!! ❤ God Bless each of you for being so transparent. The world needs more of this real talk!! ❤
Has JP ever heard the TRUE Gospel? Jesus is God in the flesh, He came and was the sacrifice for our sins and when we accept that gift and believe He died and rose again for our justification? Saved by Faith in Jesus and his blood!!
Amen, thanks for keeping it simple and clear, sister! Hopefully JP reads the comments, because we all love him and are praying for him to truly get saved. 🙏🙏🙏
@@billiemunn 🙏💜🫂🫶
His definition of prayer is beautiful. Wow JP is actually pretty theologically sound. Impressed.
Yet he is not theologically sound. He is seeking and I think the Holy Spirit is drawing him. Ultimately, though he needs to know Jesus and put his faith in Him.
@niceguyrides he just didn't want to say the wrong thing because he's new. But I know he's saved.
@@Guy-xr8ljWow… how very Godlike if you.
@@niceguyrides the Bible says you'll know them by their fruits. And he said he believes Jesus is the son of God and God incarnate.
@@Guy-xr8ljyou need a relationship with Jesus to be saved, not just an intellectual acknowledgment of His diety. He may be a Christian, but this interview was vague enough to leave some doubt. I’ve been praying for him, so I hope he does KNOW Jesus.
IS A JOY hearing young people talking about GOD. HOPING IS NOT FOR MATERIAL PROFIT"
Q
This is wonderful ❤️
ThankQ for doing this interview/conversation
Q ❤
I've seen JP live a few times, including just a couple weeks ago at Sidesplitters in Tampa. Always hilarious and enlightening.
Fantastic interview! Deep discussion, funny, enlightening and thought provoking. When I think about what our world is going through I think about my dad and his intense warning/admonition. "It's called iniquity. Calling evil good and good evil!" Prophetic for the days we are in.
Thankful for your voices pushing back the darkness with light.
JP, i say to you, i came from the same spiritual belief system you cane from, and i have been drawn deeply into the truth of Jesus, the bible itself, and ultimately YHWH and his instructions for how we should conduct ourselves as representatives of his Name.
Youre on the right track, brother, i highly recommend taking some time to pray first and ask the father that your heart be opened and eyes be opened to recieve his word as he intended it to be understood, and either read it yourself or, go to nathan reynolds channel and listen to his audio scriptures and just try and absorb as much of his truth as you can.
Once you have his word in your heart, THAT is how he speaks to you in english with a clearer channel than just feeling it out. His word is alive and powerful, and all that you dont even know you are missing from his instructions amd expectations of us will be clear when you fill yourself with his word.
IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. FOREVER.
AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT HIS WILL IS MUCH CLEARER. SHALOM
Great advice! The Spirit is essential but feelings must be balanced by the Word. We need the Word to keep us anchored in Truth.
Love Babylon Bee, love JP. Wonderful interview. Thank you.
I love this podcast episode. The directing on this is frustrating. The camera angles should have been much lower. What are they filming over their heads? Adjust your camera angles the way theyre supposed to be and it will up the quality of your videos by a lot.
Thank you for this conversation. It's refreshing
I appreciate the theological conversation, guys. Humor and truth. Beautiful.
Been waiting for this! So much to like and dislike about JP! This should be fun!
What's there to dislike about him?
@@sparkstudies1675 He often takes the joke too far (IMO, thinking specifically of some of his 'Drag' skits), So have to be more careful than I'd like to have to be when sharing his bangers . Also, his profound ignorance of the Bible and what Christianity is in general (as demonstrated in this interview) makes him an unsound influence to the young. Not saying that he hasn't come a long way (he has), but he thinks he knows more than he does, and still has a lot to learn. I still like him though.
Excellent discussion!!!!!!
Just saw JPs comedy show in San Diego last month. He was Awesome!!
JP, you’re on the right track trying to get closer to God, but you still sound like you’re in the New Age stuff. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father except by me. John 14:6. Also, the only way to understand what God wants is to read His Word, getting into a quiet state of mind and listening to your feelings is not how God communicates with us. Put your trust in Jesus, by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to the scriptures alone, for the glory of God alone. God bless and Maranatha ✝️🙏🏻❤️
Great video! JP is a great guy. Big hug from Serbia
JP, your understanding of the Bible/spiritual truths is way better than many pastors. “Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.”
Matthew 16:17 NIV
Praise the Lord!!!🙏❤️🙏❤️
Love love love JP! ❤
This is great guys, JP is awesome as well thanks for the show.
Hay JP!!! Jesus Christ IS the Son of God
*Hey
Thank you for a great interview ❤
That was great!
God Bless!
Great discussion around the 38 minute mark!
Adam and JP.. be still my hilarious heart
I can't tell you how happy it made me when JP became a believer.
I haven't heard him say he ever became a believer. Appreciating and agreeing with more Christian morals and moral framing that he did 5 years ago is NOT being a Christian or believing in the deity, sacrifice, resurrection, and return of Jesus Christ.
@@bufficliff8978 I didn't call him a "Christian " I said a believer. He has a video that he was wrong about God
great show... JP is funny as hell..
Welcome to the Faith JP
Mom actually 'heard' the word of God for several decades. The rest of us would get a sudden 'knowing' or a thinking like 'go check the bedroom closet' and there was the beginning of a leak from the roof, sort of thing. Sometimes dreams are used. I had a repetitive dream that only changed based on how healthy/ill I'm doing.
Jesus Christ-the Savior of the World. God’s son who is the way, the truth, and the life! May JP get that settled in his spirit.
That's indeed a very powerful testimony J. P, glad to hear someone else so funny is also someone working for Christ.
Good interview.
In-N-Out Double Double with fried onions!!! That’s the perfect answer!!
JP 🤜🤛
Grilled. Not fried, grilled! Amen.
JP is my hero. I’m growing my hair long and red and working out!
This sounds fun!
Yes, a quitness to be listening fir God. He speaks in a quiet voice so if we are agitated it is hard to hear Him. So He wants us to be courageous and strong and in this strength which is the knowledge He is with us and wants to interact with us and our lives for our good. When we trust Him we will hear Him more and more. For me sense His presence actively be listening for Him. Usually He answers me in an unexpected manner. With an answer I wasn't exoecting but the answer agrees with what God says in the Bible.
JP, the reason you are becoming more Christian without even trying, is because tons of people are praying for you. I really liked you years ago, then you kinda broke my heart with your pro abortion video. At that point I began praying for you. I bet many many others did as well. The word of God says that if two or more agree on anything according to God’s will, it will be done. We agree that you know God and be filled with His Holy Spirit.
I accidentally became Christian again, didn’t see that coming.
No one accidentally becomes Christian. You become a Christian when you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and trust him alone to save you from your sins.
@@G.Markavis Im nearing 40 started getting more conservative when i hit 30 by nature. But man, the bible has great teachings otherwise cant be taken literally.
Im a grown man. There is no magic. Walking on water, water to wine, no living in a whale, no living to hundreds in old Testament when survival was hard asf for early humans. There is no God and Satan wagering over Job. There is no moses parting seas. No talking Bush (unless you're on drugs).
That is NONSENSE santa clause talk. That's where yall lose me.
@G.Markavis I think what they mean is that life suddenly brought them to Christianity when there wasn't a lot of premedition on becoming a Christian. It happened to me too. I think in these times God is gathering his children. I think JP is correct...when faced with evil it is the natural response to step more into the light.
@@birdysong9508
No one is a child of God until they receive Jesus Christ as their Savior by admitting they are a sinner and accept the free gift of eternal life.
@@G.Markavis wow you guys are so judgemental and opinionated, I remember why I started steering clear of y’all. What ever I am on your side even if you’ve been jerks. Lol I now know never comment on certain videos.
You guys should be more welcoming and fun lol especially if you’re into the 🐝
Oh my gosh. Travis’s shirt in the first ad. I sang the song out loud 😆
I don't get it.

Because the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, these are overall confirmations that we are in agreement with God, especially when we have overwhelming feelings of peace. On the other hand, overwhelming feelings of the opposite, especially unease or hate or depression, would be excellent indications of being outside of God's will.
At the same time, we are commanded by God to test all prophetic utterances (whispers) and keep only what is good. Test by what? The Word, the whole Word, and nothing but the Word. So knowing the Word is essential to correctly interpreting the Spirit. The Word of God is His language, after all, and that's how we decipher Him.
I never interpret hearing from God based upon my emotions; emotions are fickle. I hear from God by reading his Word.
I think the interviewers did a good job responding to his comment about feelings. I’m sure they as Christians are well aware truth is based on the Word and not feelings.
i love that hideous strength - listening again to the audiobook now - would love to see an updated version in today's world, but it seems like where RIGHT there with Neuralink, N.I.C.E. etc
Gotta LOVE JP SEARS! The only guy I know that can pull off a woman’s one piece and NOBODY knows he’s a man! What a pioneer he is 😐
Generally that is NOT a compliment for a fellow.... 😂😂😂
Here to help the algorithm.
👁️ ❤ Babylon 🐝
This guy has come so far, so quick. He seems to know more than a lot of Christians today. We really need to read more of God's word.
Jp love ya brother
I love j p.
So glad that he has come to believe in the lord
The spiritual forces and beings that have rebelled against God know they cannot defeat God but by inhibiting the great commission they hold off their judgement for a little while longer. I believe that is their goal and also to cause God as much grief and pain as they can by hurting what he loves which is humanity. There is a great spiritual battle raging for the souls of men. We know it but we cant always see it.
My own revelation has been Satan and his demons aren't anything like what I had imagined growing up.
Casting doubt, then manipulating that doubt, to twist the mind and soul away from God. Using words deceptively to create a rebellious spirit. It's far more subtle.
I'm canadian so I learned how to club seals in high school, but I didn't get to use this skill afterwards so I've forgotten it.
Love JP
Same exact In-n-Out order, Elvis 100%! And of course Jesus.....JP, great interview!
Jesus Christ is part of the TRINITY OF GOD and HE came to us in human form to GIVE HIS LIFE FOR OUR SINS the Death Burial and RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD JESUS WASHED us in THE BLOOD OF CHRIST!
I consider myself spiritual. However about 10 yrs ago I saw and understood that evil is real. I never understood that evil was real before 10 yrs ago. Seeing videos of children/people being sacrificed put me over the edge (on the internet). It totally flipped me out.
@@DismantleHAARP Yes I believe in the holy spirit and communicate with god continuously. I don't if the bible is completely correct. I am more familiar with the old testament than the new. I think there are truths in the bible but really don't know if it is complete as it was rewritten my man. So I communicate with the "holy Spirit and always have.I see feel evil in most churches I have been in. I see eating the body of christ and drinking is blood as satanism. So I don't do church. I was also a hippy in the 60's but what I embraced with independence from the state, the later hippies were socialist and wanted dependence not independence. So don't think you know me - you don't.
This happened to me too and then Jesus found me!
I agree with JP on prayer : " I need God's support." God is my patent holder so He can solve all my problems. GOD knows what's wrong with me and the world : Totally. God is the perfect answer and oftentimes, the answer is 'no' or 'wait' and i need to conform to His purpose not He to mine.
There is something I do not understand about this perspective. Are you not then giving up your power to make something of your life from the globalists/elites/social conditioning over to God instead? How do you maintain a sense of responsibility for things that happen in your own life-the thing that freedom is founded upon, when the act of trusting in God is to give that up? I don't have a problem with this concept in itself, but I'm failing to understand how it isn't just a tad bit hypocritical? The logical conclusion of knowing that there is collective evil is to recognise that we too may be perpetuators of evil and do our best to not fall into that by taking more orders?
@@sparkstudies1675 Your reply is convoluted. I want to answer a clear question. You first. What's your real name?
our hearts are wicked and our feelings are fickle.
IT Crowd FTW!
excellent thumbnail. way to go.
Cool!
Everyone here has “surfer” energy
Like, woah, dude. I like, totally didn't see that until you mentioned it. But, like, now that you mention it, that's like, all I can see! Woooah
The Screwtape letters has an amazing description of evil and control.
Baby seal bit top tier 🤣🤣🤣
I believe consciousness is the battlefield for good and evil. I also believe that ideas are the toolbox from which humans act in good or evil ways to serve God or the devil in varying degrees. ( more often than not, we think we're only serving our own desires).
How do you get to hell?
Very simple: claim that you're innocent.
How do you get to heaven?
Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy.
How many lies have you told in your life?
Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you?
Have you ever used God's holy name to curse, would you do that with your mother's name?
How many times have you gazed with lustful intent at someone or entertained lustful desire towards them?
Jesus offers mercy to those who will acknowledge their need for it. Heaven.
The alternative is taking our just punishment. Hell.
Moving on to the gospel:
Only Jesus Christ lived a life worthy of Heaven. Substituting our sinful life for his is the only way to enter Heaven.
1.
We attempt to present our own righteousness to God the father on Judgment Day?
*(We don't have any righteousness. Answer the questions in the above, how many lies have you told in your life?)*
2.
Jesus has kindly offered to give us his righteousness as a free gift making us perfect and impeccable in the sight of his father. Ensuring a smooth transition on Judgement Day.
(Choose this option.)
Have you ever read the next 5 verses?
John 3:16
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
❤❤❤
Ezekiel 18:21-24
21“But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live. 23Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? 24But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.
I feel like JP is alllmost there, but not quite. It’s about personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and getting to know Him through his Word. But, I can still relate. I became a believer in the last year..both my husband and I at the same time. And it all started in 2020, the scales fell from our eyes. It’s crazy because I grew up in a legalistic church and “Christian religious” people used to annoy me, and now I’ve become one. Praise the good Lord though! I feel as if God used c*vid to purify His church, because it seems as if a lot of people have testimonies that something happened to them in 2020.
Yes, the "good is getting better, bad is getting worse" could not be more obvious. The sides eat different food (plants or animals), have natural or unnatural colored hair, care about college or much less, want kids or not, guns or not, city/country, homeschool or not, even using different language. The sides are so much more polar than they used to be. People used to not talk about politics or religion bc that would disrupt otherwise harmonious community bc everything else was fairly similar.
JP! - Jesus said… “I and the father are one… if you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the father….. and No one comes to the father but through me…” … Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are One.. … (A former Catholic, Atheist, New Ager, and now a True Christian, a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ! … Jesus is the Truth, The Way, and The Life….
Excellent excellent talk !
Btw. Schwab's outfit is an official university garb in (Latvia?) given to him for a ceremony (honoris causa) Other officials wear it too. I still am fine with Schwab being Satan's little helper but the dress has a different origin - though it is quite satanic :)
I notice the omission of "do you except jesus as your lord and savior? question. Hi Ray Comfort
"Have you spent time clubbing baby seals?" 😂😂😂
satan, like man, was given free will, so he was created and chose evil. God doesn't make mistakes, but by giving them free will, his creations can and do make the wrong choices, called "sins", which push us away from God's path for us, causing us more pain than we would normally feel by sticking to His path, including diseases, life-altering mistakes, and physical and other emotional pain.
Reconnected means there was a connection. Man is conceived in sin. The heart is deceitful. God wills that all men get connected to Him, but we aren’t born with that connection. He gave Jesus to be the connection. Interesting conversation.
holy spirit .
Encinitas, the throat chakra of the world. Where Tibetan sand mandalas wash away with pre-historic dune cliffs. Both the same.
Jeremiah 17:9
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?"
We need to look to the Word of God, not in how our heart feels is right or wrong.
The ultimate goal of Satan is the destruction of everything that is not Satan.
Voice of God - the question you gotta ask is, what's reliable and verifiable? The Bible is consistent, historical, and reliable.
Wow it's like a church sermon.
The first video I ever saw that JP posted was “what if meat eaters acted like vegetarians”
I want so much for JP to talk about where he was then where he is now and the path between those points.
Wow. He is all over the place with his thinking about Christianity. And to start off answering, "Who is Jesus?" by saying, "Jesus was ..." shows he needs a lot of instruction in a very informal way. He just needs guidance. I'm glad he's heading in the right direction, though.
