Man I wish you knew how you saved my life bro. Over a year ago… I was in a dark place. With a pregnant wife and 2 kids. Messing up my life. Feeling heavy guilt not knowing how to fix my life and looking for an exit. I contemplated suicide so much I came close and I ran across the podcast you did on inside of you with Michael Rosenbaum. You described everything I was feeling and how me not being around would be better for everyone. That part anchored me back man. I realized the pain I would cause my wife and kids and started living for them. I faced a lot of my demons and came clean about everything. I listened to Jordan Peterson too he helped me face confront my problems like “taking on the dragon” for the treasure that’s on the other side. Your story was like a hand on my shoulder that said you’re not alone and there’s a way. I hope I meet you one day for nothing more but to say thank you. My 3 girls have a father today because of you. And my wife and I are happier then we’ve ever been.

I love this guy, so passionate, so godly so commited to helping others and bring an amazing actor, what a great man

This is so wonderful that he is man of Jesus Christ! And,he is spreading the good news 🗞️ about the gospel! Total respect ✊ to my brother, In Christ .Powerful Testimony, Alan. Love ❤️ you, brother.

Amen brother.. what a great way to see life's problems .. the bible is a saving grace for us who know Jesus

I’ve been a fan since BMS and it’s so refreshing to watch and listen to you spread the gospel. Thank you 🙏

Wish i could react the way you did in the train bro. Praying for more peace , patience , joy and love. Only that matters. Havnt seen fastx yet, want to support u in the big screen, God bless you bro and your family. From india.

Love you Alan. ❤❤❤❤❤💯🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for the message. Someone like me tends to think everything is a problem or I will make it one 🤣. I'm going to practice stepping back and doing nothing. Give it to God and let him work his wonders 🙏 ❤️

I am feeling so down. Thank you for sharing this

Great message. Learning to respond to problems rather than react to them is a great sign of good adulting and emotional intelligence. Many believe that 'problems' and the solving or navigation of problems is like emotional & mental weight lifting. It builds awareness, resiliency, and the capacity to handle EFFECTIVELY more and more of what life throws at us. Well done.

Thank you Alan Ritchson for this good advice God bless yoù and your family.keep safe always 💕💕💕💕

Happy Sunday 🌞 So happy to see you. 🩷 In church... BBL..! 🕦

Great message. In my opinion, our number one societal “problem” today is we have lost the ability to relax and put problems in perspective, in most cases how to de-escalate. It’s a policing problem, it’s a gun violence problem, it’s an everyday conversational problem. It’s something that must be taught and expected; it doesn’t just happen naturally. We all must demand it of ourselves and do better.

So many different problems. And today I have no comment. Just a great moment that made me think for many minutes. Thank you, Brother in Christ 🙏

I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH ALAN RITCHSON.......I BELIEVE IN SOME WAYS...HE HAS BEEN SENT BY GOD.....GOD BLESS HIM !

That scarred me and my heart just dropped and brought tears to my eyes. "For what is it worth to a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul". Hi from Australia , you saving me mate. Your the only preacher I can watch , I have tried many but they annoy me as bad as that sounds... Thank you ....

Thank you for these videos, Alan. God bless you and your family!!

Moral of the story: sometimes it’s better to be a stonewall than to retaliate. Sometimes you hurt fools by doing nothing than to act.

Just seen, by chance, a couple clips of "Inside of you clips" interview. Im so far disconnected from "Celebrity" I wasnt even sure who you were but something made me click it, Id never heard of 'Inside of you clips' either; I was blown away with the depth of those short clips, by what and how you articulated everything. Will listen more to you (might even give Reacher a watch- yes, never seen that either). Also, Ive been on somewhat of a journey regrding inner work, faith, spirituality for a while, and will listen to more of your thoughts on that too.

@aritchson Just watched one of your interviews with Michael Rosenbaum, where you talk about your difficulties and suicide. My 16yr old sister hung herself ( I was only 9) never understood it ...most of the time we don't ever understand what the individual is going through to actually take their own life and to do it in such a violent way. Your honesty about what you went through has brought much light in my life. To hear what the other person was feeling is something I never will be able to grasp, your honesty was the answer, thank you for being vulnerable, and honest and out spoken. I know that was not easy, how can it be, I only feel the loss that came from losing my older sister, not the pain that caused it. Thank you, stay blessed, continue to open your mouth about your believes, you are making a difference....you have made the difference for me.

I just finished watching Reacher, and I had a feeling that you are a brother in Christ. I had to look up the bio, and sure enough!

Excellent declaration of the Gospel. Wow man I am appreciating your stuff!

Dude these help me so much. I look forward to these every Sunday bro. ✊🏽

I do enjoy your sermons. I don't always agree with the Bible portions but the topics can be interesting and thought provoking. Speaking of problems, it reminded me of an Instagram post you did about FedEx gluing notices to your glass door. You probably didn't read my comment and may not see this one but whenever I ran into a situation, something that could upset me I say to myself, "If this is the worse thing to happen to me all day, then it's a good day" because most of those problems/troubles were insignificant in the grand scheme of things. So if I look at problems that way, they're never as bad as they could be.

Impressed every time. Well done.

Great message! Thank you!!

Awesome, Happy Sunday. From Brazil, Sao Paulo

Thank you🙏

Keep up the good work brotha!

Para aprender y progresar debemos pasar por las dificultades, nunca estamos solos ya que Dios nos da la solucion junto con el problema

U are awesome

❤❤❤

Hello friend. 🌞 I hope you're doing well and having a good day. When I'm down I think of you to renew my hope. Thank you for that. 💛Tracy🐝 I just remembered a snippet of a dream I had where Cat shaved her head. 😅🤣 Have a good one, Alan!

Respect this guy . I hope he turns to politics and become US pres

Happy Sunday to you.

I have strange problems. I hear you, though.

I guess you're right, even for real life problems can only be felt by a stupid person like me

At last I am able to sit down in a peaceful place 1 week after my 1st visit. Thank you Alan for a lovely post🙏 l always visit 2 or 3 times to be able to absorb every thing. One question I am English so could you explain speakeasy for me. Sorry if I sound silly but it is not a term we use in UK , at least I am not aware of it 😊

Maybe all the pumping led to massive biceps.

Instachurch, tomorrow, Matey.

Well said comment for engagement

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Even doing nothing is a response 😎

I threw a box with hair clippers in it down the stairs and it left a mark on the wall.

Question. Why do you have to believe in God or any religion to do good and be a good person?

What's your thoughts on Jesus' political views back in the day. A lot of Republicans think that Jesus was a Republican and there are Democrats that looked at Jesus' actions in the Bible and saw that Jesus was a Democrat or Socialist.

OooOOOOoooooohhh... I can picture that, packing tape on your parents' window. 😬 Coulda used that tape to repair the leaky hose. 😅 You told another story about a basketball and sticking a sign over the dent you made in the entrance wall..? Lol! I bet your folks spent a few hours during their lives shaking their heads over their sons. And you gave them more boys? 😂 Anyway, I wanna see some of that airbrush art. I know you're a visual / 2D artist too. 🎨🖌️ Problems. I think we as humans like solving problems. We resent tests at school and then grow up to buy books of sudoku and crossword puzzles. Someone who chooses to follow Jesus for a free ride in a velvet pew are going to come up empty. Those who see the challenge, take the dare of picking up one's cross, are the people that Jesus wants to team up with. People who see a problem as a challenge and say, bring it on! Smooth sailing does not a skillful mariner make. (I think that's how the saying goes.) Thanks for sharing again this week. 🥪 Hope you're not in a hotel too long this time. (Yet selfishly, I like it when you travel because you seem to have time to think and write.🫣) 💛 Tracy 🐝 PS Took my son, 15, to FastX. For you -- I've never seen anything else in the franchise. I was laughing at everything defying the laws of physics -- you got that super line that summed up the movie: "they did it twice." My car-loving son picked apart all the tech stuff -- "that car doesn't shift like that!" etc. A good time had by all. 😁

TODAY, the gospel that saves is The Gospel of the Grace of God: 1 Cor 15:1-4 KJB. Believe to receive Hsi "free gift" of eternal salvation. Today, Paul is our apostle. The moment one trusts the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary (His death, burial, and resurrection) be "believing" 1 Cor 15:1-4 KJB, they are "saved", "sealed", and have ALL their sins forgiven (past, present, and future). 1Tim 2:4 KJB Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. The Gospel of the Grace of God is not the same gospel that Jesus and the 12 apostles preached in "time past" (books of Matt, Mark, Luke, John KJB). Today, we find our "sound doctrine" in Paul's epistles: Romans through Philemon KJB.
