For those of you complaining about Peter not pushing back on some Mormon beliefs- that’s not what his channel is. He travels the country and gives a voice to different groups of people so the viewers can learn and make up their own minds. This is why the channel is great and I…

Someone needs to get this kid a PR job. His ability to articulate clearly, with a positive bent, but not running away from issues is so impressive.

I’m one of those Mormons who left the church over the sticky past. This is the most thoughtful and kind approach. And you couldn’t have picked a better person to talk to. Very thankful for this approach.

As someone who left the LDS church and doesn't love everything about it, I have to say, this young man represents the church extremely accurately. Everything about this video is very much aligned with LDS belief and culture. One of the better representations I've seen on YouTube.…

This young man is so well spoken. I learned a lot. Even if we don't agree with their beliefs, we can still be respectful

2.6 million subscribers for Peter. Why? Most people despise the partisan media. Peter is authentic, kind and courteous too all, no matter their background, race, gender, political affiliation or religion.

Well done! This kid did a great job with some tough questions and didn't try to shy away or redirect. The host was also very well-prepared and respectful. Good work.

My family was caught in this cult for decades and this is very painful to watch. False gospel, false prophets and false doctrines are the wide path and an abomination to God.

Peter, you are IMO, the current best channel on YouTube. It can be expensive and time consuming getting to meet so many cultures and people but you give every culture the chance to share their way of life for the rest of us to understand. I am not, nor ever will be LDS but this w…

Brock is a fantastic young man. Very articulate. Polite. And focused on making the world a better place. When I lived out West this was always my experience and interaction with Mormons. I was grateful to have them as neighbors and employees.

I’ve lived in salt lake for 10 years now. I’m not Mormon, but I’ve come to love them. I feel bad for them when they’re exposed to normies who are unfamiliar with their culture and religion. It seems like it’s perfectly acceptable in our culture to ridicule all the odd things i…
