Marriage Is An All In Bet

In this live lecture from Phoenix, Jordan Peterson explores the universal question of wrestling with God—a struggle that transcends the divide between belief and unbelief. Drawing on ancient narratives and his clinical psychology background, he examines how our deepest choices reveal what we actually believe. Audience questions then turn the discussion toward practical challenges: the all-in commitment of marriage, the demands of parenting, and the necessity of discipline when life becomes difficult.
