Bear Grylls Talks About Alpha's Impact On His Life and Faith 

MAY Jesus Christ bless you I'm an ex Muslim arab and Jesus changed my life Halleluyah i have seen many miracles with my own eyes

Awesome! Great to find out Bear is a Christian. It gives me another good way to talk to my 9 year old son, who is a HUGE Man vs. Wild fan, about God.

Well said Bear. Most people on here mock it because they don't want to understand it

He went all across the globe,and explored the world and creatures 🌍,,which made his life to say, IF THERE IS A CREATION THERE MUST BE A CREATOR (GOD)

Hi, thank you for asking me to inspect my faith. But it's too late. I was just like you before that day but now I have no way coming back simply because this is the God I desperately needed. I wish you find the God that fulfills your hunger of faith in your life. May God inspire you.

God Bless You Bro..and be with you...We love you..

It is the greatest thing you will ever do and you will never ever regret it. Those who haven't experienced it are missing out on so much - they're missing out on life itself. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Bear I love you so much! God bless!

So good to hear people talking about this

Psalm 121! The first thing i ever learnt. This guy is a legend

I'm a confirmed atheist, but I love this guy. He has a quiet faith that sustains him when life gets hard. Who can argue with that?

God bless you 😊😊😊

Its best for all people to have somethings to believe on- somethings that can keep them up in difficult situations, where the only thing they can lean on, is the power they believe on.

I'm sure Bear respects Jesus' survival skills, too. ;-)

i was offended by churchs and christians once i hated church and the people who went to it but i still knew i believed in God i knew i believed in Jesus mainly because of the personal relationship i had with him so much i couldn't deny him as so many can testify the intimacy they have with him God drew them closer and holds them in his hand until the end of this world

Your the man Bear Grylls

i couldnt explain faith any better than bear does..its personal,its between you and God...you dont need any structures..you carry it everywhere you go.....and yes it does take a real man to say it sometimes..i know because i havnt been man enough on a few occasions.

@HappyJackProduction1 Alpha is a course that teaches people about Jesus. It's non-denominational, Catholics, Protestants, and basically any Christian can attend to learn more. I live in Canada, and there are courses everywhere. I don't know where you live, but if you went into any Christian church and asked them about it, they could tell you where you could attend.

Bear Grylls you rock!!

praise god!!

hi I just become a believer and therefore I surely know there is no use of argument or proof. Since I was push to make a prayer. Before I was totally fine, and after I burst into incredible tears for no reason. I experienced this God in the bible. That's how I believed. There are "support"s for Christianity, but certainly other "support"s for atheism or other religion. But experience is the most powerful. I now that experience is not just emotional 'cause I am not a person that usually cry

@mirrodin68 Actually in another video where he is at Tomoka Prison, he tells the inmates about his faith. He tells about a prayer in which he desperately asks God to be his friend again, having that same faith and relationship with Him he used to have when being a child. Yes, he does quote the bible, but there's nothing wrong with that. In fact I think that's great. Especially the quoting of 'I can do everything with Christ'. And that's exactly the point. Watch the Tomoka Prison video.

Only god uses proof he loves me his actions speak! He knows actions speak more than words he is me!!!

this is not actually about Bear's experience in the alpha course. it's about his faith in God generally and especially climbing Mount Everest.

great to know that he is a christian :)

@snbeings Amen.

Faith is simply psyching up the mental attributes. Trust which is a spiritual grace of abandonment of self into the care of another. Faith is something people work up within themselves, trust is not human it is of the Lord and in Him.

Four lost on Everest with Bear Grylls? Wow. That's a costly expedition!

You are an eternal soul and will last forever. There can be no creation without a creator and the creation testifies to the attrributes of the one that created it. God created you for a purpose to serve and glorify Him. He is love and His greatest demonstration of love was when He died for your sins and rose victorious over death and Hell in your behalf even though you rebel against Him. 2009 A.D. means the number of years since Jesus was born into this world.

@mirrodin68 Also, yesterday I read a specific chapter in Bears book 'Living Wild' which is in fact the whole gospel in a nutshell. Quotes: "When we turn to Jesus, simply and honestly and ask for forgiveness, we are made clean. (...) It is a gift for you, bought by Jesus at a great price. He died on a cross tortured to death, in our place, so that we could be forgiven and set free. (...) Pray and ask for Jesus to come into your life and stand beside you." Complete testimony on webbook, page 246

People find it difficult to talk about 'faith' because they have no experiance of it and because of this they can't explain how it affects their life. It's specific, but not ''personal'' Paul, Peter, John had no problem speaking about the faith they possessed.

Why doesn't he talk about why he does yoga every day?

...Why would a god kill 3 climbers on the way up the mountain? And how does that make any statement about how he's a loving god?

@bbrs89 you are wrong

Original sin is the most vile of doctrines. To be damned for crimes you committed before you were born is unjust. To be damned in a matter where no innocence is possible violates free will. It's a mockery of justice, morality and reason in one concept. But then that is the nature of fundamentalism.

Point out the bit where I told you not to talk about god

Glorgyboundkev..even if you dissagree with others what about exhibiting a bit of Christian love? If you want to promote your faith be an example of compassion and respect..remember the bit about turning the other cheek?

talmud written 200 years after christ period, tacticus 100 years after, pliny wrote 100 years after, josephus wrote 80-100 years after, all hearsay not witnessed, not solid evidence in any way shape or form. the arguement was about whether sweating blood was medically possible (which it's not). not whether bleeding capilaries looks like you are sweating blood.

faith is a stretcher You can't even limp into Heaven wthout Jesus Christ.

For a fantastic and impartial review of the Alpha Course try Stephen Butterfield's website. Google "Butterfield Alpha Review". It's a real eye-opener!

@heygeno1951 he just said his "Christian faith"... and he's a Christian. research it yourself :P

christ died for us...jesus paid for us...Gods kingdom is coming...

actually, i will be rejoicing that I'm in Heaven forever with Jesus and all the other people that have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. There won't be anymore sin to deal with and there won't be any more pain or sorrow as a result. I won't even remember this world or anyone that rejected Jesus. ( =

So sorry JR (below) feels that way. There hundreds of thosands of highly inteligent and everyday folk like me who have found Alpha and faith in Jesus is the answer for life and indeed death. Go on a course and make your own judgement about God and people.

JESUS IS KING!!!

I don't think anyone can really criticise a man who admits to an inner life of relationship with a God personality, even if that God's existence cannot be proven. It's benign, in that he has an inner strength based on this belief, and he attributes it to a God that he prays to and uses the bible to inspire him. As he said, its personal. That's the whole point here. It's personal, as personal as the person who says that they reject belief in a God as part of their inner life. If the man isn't ramming it down people's throats like some rabid preacher then I don't see what harm he's doing. By all means mock the man for his belief if you feel the need to. Or be mature and accept that it isn't doing him any harm. If he comes to a point in his life where his belief ends then that will be his choice. People living and dying on the mountain doesn't invalidate his belief. He said he felt gratitude for coming away from the mountain with his life. He wasn't saying that because of his faith that God saved him and let the others die. He was expressing gratitude for life.

i thought bear grill was a buddhist?

Ok pay attention people to what I'm about to say. The world is overrun with people who think a faith in God is for the weak minded. If you have these thoughts please tell us what you have accomplished in your life WITHOUT God? Now compare those things to what Bear has accomplished WITH God. This man is stronger than 99% of the people in this world and the core of his strength is his faith. Read Matthew 19:26

No cross, no repentance, no salvation. Still dead in sin. Yes, it's offensive, but such is the nature of the Gospel. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel,because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed-a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[a]just as it is written 'The righteous will live by faith' Romans 1:16

1. What indication is there that the universe is 'fine tuned'? 2. The complexity of organisms is fully explained by the Theory of Evolution. (I smell an argument coming!) 3. What evidence is there for the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth? Fuck that, even if we knew for certain that he had risen from the dead (which we avowedly don't) that would only demonstrate that resurrection is possible, not that the universe was created by a God. 4. The Bronze Age man to whom I referred is Jesus.

I was a Christian but I am no longer convinced and so am unable to believe in the supernatural. The Alpha course did not help me at all as all the way through is just the assumption is 'of course there is a god' which is the of course just an assumption.

Guess the bear grylls mean changes from "better drink your own piss" to "better pray"

YHWH?

sorry to offend you...i didnt think i was teaching anything. just making a opinion. I dont think i tried to convince you or tried to push my belief upon you. but eh..take it as you will. the second part of my statement was just from personal experience. sorry again.

John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. Jesus said you need to repent of your sins to be saved and you must accept Him as Lord and Savior. His sacrifice for sins was useless if eternity in Heaven could be gained any other wayy. It does you no good to make up your own religion. You must repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior or be eternally condemned

What's alpha?

Or are you trying to explain away death because you are afraid of it?

bear needs to stop the killing lol

"NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS"? BY PASTOR /PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH AND MARTIN SMITH YOU TUBE POWERFUL POWERFUL WATCH FROM SOUTH AFRICA ENJOY 😃❤️💯🙏🏾

The fact that B G is an evangelical born againer seems somewhat paradoxical. On the one hand I am not sure that many of the things they teach in the SAS are compatible with the New Testament .Jesus was not an expert in close combat and explosives. One the other hand the Manichean vision of the world and the dialectic between 'good' and 'evil' that informs military strategies in our era is a reflection of moral and often religious self-righteosuness. I do have great respect for his courage though

@westyman262 Haters gonna hate...

shame on you for being a hypocrite in trying to silence me from speaking the truth.

I have faith in Jesus and I have no fear of Hell. I have the assurance of eternity in Heaven. You sound like you are trying to explain Hell away because you are afraid of it. When you tell the police officer that the red light doesn't exist, do you really expect him to believe you?

Good come back! "Oh Lord Save Me From Your People"

Blessings everyone GREAT WATCH HERE FOR EVERYONE "UNDERSTANDING THE POPE AND THE JESUIT AGENDA"? BY PASTOR /PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH AND MARTIN SMITH YOU TUBE POWERFUL POWERFUL WATCH FROM SOUTH AFRICA ENJOY 🙏🏾💯😃❤️

when people die for what they believe then i don't thinks its a cowardly thing if you deny your claim to be a christian you'll live if you don't you'll be stoned to death is that cowardly erm no jesus faced death was given a choice but did he back down did he do a cowardly thing nope he was so stressed about it he sweated blood... and still he went ahead and paid for us all...even though some won't accept him..

Dear 'brethern and sistern'...lets all exchange our views in a spirit of mutual respect. otherwise what is the point?s and g look at it as a challenge you are at opposite ends of the spectrum but if you can have a constructive conversation then something will have been gained. .again g.try to be consistent with the principles of your professed faith.the 'trick 'is to understand that almost every person sincerely believes their perspective is contributing something positive...s what a pseudo!

Whatever!

@Freethinking2010 Just stick to the new testament. The teachings are timeless so time+space mean nothing. The purpose of the Bible is to kill off the ego, the carnal mind, the Adamic mind. That ego blocks an experience w/ God and true inner morals. Until Ego dies (born again) you will be stuck operating from an animalistic sense of pleasing lower passions which are empty and unsatiable. You just have to dig out the truth and have direct Spiritual experiences of God. That is the Only way!!!

Only dual seed Christian Identity follows scripture.

That's called an opinion. He's not teaching religion, he's saying that religion should be personal and not a tool used for other means. I would rather people did that than join fundamentalist churches. Shame on you for trying to use your religious outrage to silence him. So what if you're offended?

djshades why are you teaching your religion to others when you believe that no one should do that? That's called hypocrisy.

I suppose they could crush what bear is saying with harsh legalistic, and religious antagonizations.

But does Bear know The Lord as his own personal saviour.

in what do you place your faith? what do you faithfully expect to happen? and what do you believe this faith gives you? what do you have faith god will do for you? or anyone? or do at all?

No, you say that people can have eternal life, which would seem to negate death somewhat... Put simply: 1. There is no reason at all to postulate an afterlife, never mind a specific Hell. 2. Nothing about this world suggests the existence of any God. 3. As a right-thinking person, I am not especially inclined to prostrate myself before a dead, Bronze Age man. I invite you to respond and, until such time as you do, I hold you without doubt to be denier of reality.

no problem. if you have the truth, then speak it out. If you care about people, then tell them the truth. If Jesus Christ is the way , the truth, and the life, then tell people. Personally, I believe religion is man's way of trying to look good without repenting of sins. Faith in Jesus Christ is not religion because you are admitting your own sinfulness and need for God's forgiveness. I've heard that alpha is another man made religion.

Neither your questions nor your statements make any sense. Stick to something you know about.

The bible is very clear. Jesus said that His sheep heard his voice and they would NOT follow strangers. His sheep do NOT follow false teachers and wolves like Rick Warrn , Joyce Meyer and Steven Furtick to name just 3 of the worst. All of whom warm to and cosy up to Mr Gumdell. Your known by the company you keep. Isn't that so? Don't be deceived. Compare what Gumbel teaches with the bible. Ten look at who he has on he platform. Come on folks. Surely your not that blind are you?

the bible says that everyone has sinned and is condemned and needs to repent of sins and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I admitted that I sinned, i repented, and I trust Jesus Chrst as my Lord and Savior. What is your problem you self righteous hypocrite?

@Freethinking2010 The teachings are timeless. If I was to say 2 + 2 = 4, that would be timeless. It was true then, true now, and true in a trillion years. U dont understand, the mind is the ego, the mind is carnal, the mind itself needs to be controlled. It is like a spoiled child. The NT leads you to experience Divine realities and transcendence. Without those you are operating from the limited mind. Enlightenment exists and is the highest state. Everything else is mindless flim flam!

sweetsweatyfeet actually, you don't get it. God's Word in the Bible is true and the prophecies made thousands of years ago are happening right now. Repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior before it's too late.

i stand corrected, hematidrsis is actually the mixing of blood and sweat coming from sweat glands so i guess it is sort of sweating blood i am under the impression only sweat is produced by sweat glands but this mix appears as sweating blood so you are right in one respect but sweat glands only produce sweat

satan is a fallen angel

Nature killed the climber, just like people kill each other all the time. I hope you look for the truth with all your heart and diligently look into the bible and Jesus. Because if it's true then most of the world is screwed and responsible to God, and need a savior from sin. If you seek God with all your heart you will find him. God's love doesn't undermine His justice, His love was expressed in Jesus' death on the cross for sinners.

you are living in denial of reality. did i say that people don't die? It's the second death that you need to avoid and that is the eternal lake of fire. There is only one way to escape eternal judgment and that is to repent, come back to God, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Try it.

Lol

the bible is God's eternal word. It contains His moral standards. the lie of satan was that you can set yours own standards and you don[t need God. Yes, God sees and knows what happens everywhere and He createdand sustains everything. But He dwells in Heaven and those who reject Him are separated from His joy, peace, love, presence, guidance, etc. You do not have the true God in you unless you repent of your own ways and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

....yet the bottom line evangelical Christianity teaches is that unless you accept Christ as Lord you will suffer in Hell for eternity. Best keep that quiet eh?

this god in the bible is flawed in ways a true deity could not possibly be i appreciate your experience must have been strong and life changeing but i urge you to look more closely at that which you think is god and re evaluate before you are trapped into a self destructive and very limiting way of thinking, i am not saying god does not exist, just that he is much more than the bible or christian church understand or choose to teach, if you want more clarification i welcome questions.

2 Kings 8:12 -- (The people of Samaria) ...will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open. The scriptures are filled with far too many examples of like this all commanded by this "moral" god. Also for god's kill count check out... watch?v=IABptlAhyJw It's all there in scripture in full glory for you to read. Rationalize it or ignore it if you wish. I shall do neither.

i don't pass judgment on you. God says in the bible that you are condemned because of sin. Jesus paid your penalty on the cross because that is the only way for you to be saved. You must repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior or spend eternity in Hell acdcording to God. I'm only the messenger. If you don't agree with His giving you a chance through Jesus, take it to Him, not me.

Just a personal opinion here... not meant to offend anyone...but...I think religion should not be organized nor do i think that anyone should try to teach religion to another. People need to stop living their lives preparing for a afterlife that no one has proof of and start making heaven right here in front of you. Stop looking up for answers and start looking inside for them. ps. I did take this alpha coarse and relized it was nothing but attempting to shove jesus down my throat. waste of time

The whole boyscout christianity lets-praise-the-lord-and-sing-quire thing is something i have a hard time respecting (im not an atheist though) but Bears way of belief seems pretty benign to me

how can a historical fact be a fairy tale? any credible historian wouldn't claim what happened to jesus to be a fariy tale? people claiming the devil telling people isn't cowardly act a person sweating blood is a sign of stress medical fact all these things happened fact just because you've been offended in some way by either christians or religion it seems you beieved and now don't and the scars run deep

religion doesn't save anyone. There is only one Holy Spirit living in those who have repented and trust in the One true Lord Jesus Christ, and there is only one God the Father. There is only One book that God has given usas a foundation of our one common faith and that is the Bible. Those who trust in man made religion and philosophy are still separated from God and slaves to sin. Only thorugh repentance and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior r u set free and receive the Holy Spirit.

at least Adam and Eve believed in God. atheists don't believe in moral absolutes and are therefore devoid of morality and morally depraved. They live in denial of reality and believe their own lies. Their resistance to moral restraint leads them to the lowest forms of moral degeneration. Romans 1:24 They can't comprehend real love because God is love and they have rejected Him. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

daveboy, God is meciful and that is the only reason you aren't in Hell right now. He made a way for you to come back to Him through Christ's payment for your sins. If you reject that, it is yoor own fault.

@snbeings No, the teachings are not timeless, unique or special. Most of us do not live our lives in accordance to that book (New Testament) written at least 70 years after the so-called events. Man has evolved in such a way that the mind can control the carnal ego so that we can live harmoniously in society. Nothing to do with some good or bible. You talk about animalistic sense; we are animals, just more evolved. The bible has no truth to offer, because there is still a lot we do not know.

NO NEED TO WATCH THIS TAKE THIS TYPE OF RISK🤔🤔🤔
