22:45 - I heard that Jacob :-) . . . get another Mormon friend and maybe the four of us can have a chat at some point.

I laughed out loud when Jacob called Gavin, Trent. 😂

LDS guy here. Very impressed with Gavin. He is a fantastic ambassador of his faith.

Take a drink of water every time they say “Cynthia” or “Sally.”

Stay hydrated my friends.

I’m so glad that Sally, Cynthia, and Trent could finally sit down and have a productive dialogue.

Gavin is a golden retriever, never wanting to offend but still doesn’t relent on the truth.

Gavin’s poker face when being called Trent is so good 😂 never play cards with this man

This is the best Christian youtube page on the platform. Never change, Pastor Ortlund. We're praying for you!

Just curious if anyone else feels the same way, but I love listening to two people dialogue on disagreements way more than a formal debate, I feel like I understand with much more clarity both sides of the argument than normal debate formats.

Very thankful that Gavin was willing to discuss with rather than about Latter-day Saints

@HearGodsWord 1 year ago

I'm glad that this was a discussion and not a debate. It made for a much more fruitful video.

@dachickenman 1 year ago

I think Jacob forgot whether he was on a date with Gavin or Trent.

Very fascinating and cordial conversation. Sally and Cynthia deserving some credit as well

Latter-day Saint here. Loved this conversation. If only this is the type of dialogue I could have had in high school with friends who assured me I was destined for hell (not that we were equipped to do so at the time). Really appreciated the clarity and cordiality of this exchange. The world needs more of this character of conversation.
