    Diary Of A CEO Is Jealous Of His Friend's Peace. Now It's Getting Worse

    Send us Fan Mail ​ @TheDiaryOfACEO   host Steven Bartlett told John Lennox and Wes Huff he is agnostic. But he told his best friend he was jealous of a peace he could not explain after his friend's conversion to Christianity. Days later he sat down with physicist Brian Greene, who said God is a human invention. This is the full story of Steven Bartlett's search for God. Where it started, why he walked away at eighteen, and the one sentence he learned at ten years old that is still standing between him and the answer he keeps asking for. We walk through his childhood in Plymouth, his deconversion through Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, the friend in Dubai who could not get out of bed and then got baptized in secret, the moment in a gym where Bartlett admitted he was jealous, and the identical reaction he had in two different rooms with John Lennox and Wes Huff.

    Atheist Pretended God Was Real for 30 Days...Then This Happened

    Send us Fan Mail An atheist decided to live like a Christian for 30 days without actually believing in God, but his experiment took an unexpected turn. I react to his journey from pretending God was real to questioning what he believed, and eventually experiencing something he never expected. Brian Guan called the experiment “Faithless Christianity.” Instead of debating Christianity from a distance, he prayed, practiced gratitude, read Scripture, went to church, and tried to follow the teachings of Jesus. Then things started changing. His choices changed. His relationship with nicotine changed. His view of Christianity changed. And eventually Brian said something that completely changed the story: “I’m done pretending.” This video isn’t only about an atheist becoming a Christian. It raises a much bigger question: Did Christianity simply make Brian’s life better—or did he discover that Christianity is actually true? And for Christians, there’s an even more uncomfortable question: Brian began living like God was real before he fully believed. How many of us say we believe in God while living as if everything still depends on us? If you’re a Christian wrestling with doubt, someone who still identifies as Christian but hasn’t practiced your faith in a long time, or a skeptic or agnostic searching for meaning, purpose, truth, or evidence for God, this conversation is for you. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 He Pretended God Was Real 00:40 Welcome to Trailblazer Unbound 00:50 Brian Guan’s “Faithless Christianity” Experiment 01:20 Going to Church Without Believing 02:20 Christianity Starts Changing His Choices 03:40 Could the Change Mean Something? 04:10 His 8-Year Battle With Nicotine 05:30 Does Christianity Working Mean It’s True? 06:10 Bible vs. Yoga: What Reached His Soul? 07:20 “I’m Done Pretending” — Brian Chooses Jesus 08:30 From Experiment to Christian Faith 09:10 Day 21: What Happens After Conversion? 09:40 The Question Christians Need to Hear 10:40 Doubting Christians, Skeptics & Agnostics 11:10 How to Seek God Without Faking Belief 11:50 If You Call Yourself a Christian, Try This 12:20 Psalm 16:8 — The Logos Moment 13:10 Walk Unshaken: Rise Above Shame Playlist 13:50 Brian Guan, I’d Love to Talk 14:20 The Most Important Part Starts Now 14:30 What to Watch Next I’m Gio, founder and host of Trailblazer Unbound. Our mission is to help people rise, lead, and walk unshaken through a strong community rooted in Christ. We talk openly about faith, doubt, purpose, burnout, anxiety, culture, leadership, and the hard questions Christians and seekers are actually wrestling with. Subscribe: https://youtube.com/@TrailblazerUnbound 📖 LOGOS MOMENT Psalm 16:8: “I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.” That verse captures the challenge Brian’s experiment leaves us with.

It features artists including Forrest Frank, Hulvey, Maverick City Music, Elevation Worship, MercyMe, plus Trailblazer Unbound Music releases. The music is built around freedom, identity, resilience, getting back up, and remembering that your past does not get the final word.

Seek honestly. Read Jesus for yourself. Investigate the resurrection. Ask hard questions. Pray honestly. And if you already call yourself a Christian, Brian’s experiment gives us a challenge: Don’t pretend God is real. Live like you know He is. QUESTION FOR YOU: Christians: Have you ever believed in God but realized you weren’t living like you trusted Him? Doubting Christians: What question is keeping you from fully engaging your faith? Skeptics and agnostics: What evidence would make you seriously consider Christianity? Let me know in the comments.

    No.1 Christianity Expert: "They're Praying to AI"

    Send us Fan Mail This video dives into what was missed in  @TheDiaryOfACEO interview with John Lennox. The Oxford mathematician went on the biggest podcast in the world and said people are already praying to AI. Is AI built to replace God? That's what Steven Bartlett asked Dr. John Lennox on  @TheDiaryOfACEO His answer stopped me cold. But the part that made me put my coffee down came later, when Bartlett read out what Sam Altman and a former Google engineer have actually said about what they're building. Then Anthony Levandowski started an AI church called Way of the Future. Then Elon Musk said Larry Page wanted a "digital god." These are the architects. They're not hiding it. So I pulled the research. Barna Group: 48% of practicing Christians say they'd trust AI with their spiritual growth. 54% with their sense of purpose. Ask pastors the same questions and it's 12% and 6%. The people who spend the most time with God trust it the least. Then Gloo and Barna, February: 4 in 10 practicing Christians say AI has already helped them with prayer or Bible study. 41% of pastors use AI for Bible study themselves. But 31% of Christians want their pastor to teach them how to navigate AI, and only 12% of pastors feel comfortable teaching on it. That's a vacuum. And vacuums always get filled with something. I also share something I've never said out loud on camera. Three months ago at 3AM, my seven year old had a bad nosebleed. Blood everywhere. My wife stayed with him, and I went to my office and picked up my phone. I didn't pray to it. I never will. But I never thought to pray at all until it was already handled. God didn't lose to AI that night. He just came second. And en verdad, that scared me more than the nosebleed. Then I show you 2 Kings 18 and a bronze snake called Nehushtan. A real tool God told Moses to make, that people were healed by, that 700 years later they were burning incense to. A tool God gave them became a god they gave themselves. Nobody chose that. It happened slow, quiet, one small act of misplaced trust at a time. 2,700 years. Same trap, different century. It's not the tool. It's the drift. I'm not anti AI. I use it every day. This isn't a fear video. It's one question: are you mastering the tool, or is the tool quietly mastering you? Go to God first. Then use the tool. The order changes everything. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 "People are basically praying to it now" 01:00 The three words Lennox used about AI 02:00 48% would trust AI with their spiritual growth 03:00 Nobody gets tricked into idolatry 03:30 A knife: surgery or murder 04:00 What Sam Altman actually said 05:00 Way of the Future: the AI church 06:00 Machines have no consciousness 07:00 Pastors say 12%. We say 48%. 08:00 The gap nobody is talking about 10:30 So is AI built to replace God? 11:00 600 years of mastering the tools 12:00 My 3AM confession 14:00 Nehushtan: the 2,700 year old warning 16:00 How I study 17:00 The one move that changes everything 19:00 The question I promised you 📖 GO DEEPER IN THE WORD Everything I showed you about Nehushtan took me four minutes to find, because I had the right tool.  @Logos   gives you the original Hebrew and Greek so you see what the word said before somebody translated it for you.

AI was the instrument. The message is all God. 👉  @TrailblazerUnboundMusic 💬 TWO QUESTIONS When it's 3AM and chaos hits, where do you go first? And if Jesus came today in 2026, would His disciples have used AI to spread the Word? The gospel traveled Roman roads. Letters. Codices. The printing press. Radio. Fiber optic cables. YouTube.

    He Didn't Preach A Sermon. He Dropped Two Basketballs And Everything Changed

    Send us Fan Mail How do you bounce back when life drops you? This Pastor from answered it with two basketballs, and it will blow you mind. Two balls. Same size. Same weight. Same look. You cannot tell them apart standing still. But he dropped them both, and only one came back up. That is the whole thing right there. You can look like you have it together. Job, family, church attendance, the whole picture. Then the diagnosis comes. The layoff comes. The news you were not ready for comes. And you find out fast whether there was anything actually in you. This video is for the person who got dropped and is still on the floor. Not looking for hype. Looking for a foundation that holds. We go into Matthew 7:24, the wise man on the rock and the foolish man on the sand, and we pull the original Greek apart on two words that change how you read the whole passage. And we get honest about the difference between happiness and joy, because one of them leaves the second things get hard and the other one does not. Joy is not an emotion you chase. It is a confidence you carry. EVERYTHING TRAILBLAZER UNBOUND, IN ONE PLACE Videos, music, community, and everything else we are building. If this message landed and you want more than one video worth of it, this is where all of it lives. linktr.ee/TrailblazerUnbound CHAPTERS 0:00 Two Basketballs That Look Exactly The Same 0:32 The Drop. How You Find Out Which One Is Filled 1:22 Why Joy Is Not An Emotion You Chase 1:52 Matthew 7:24. The Wise Man And The Foolish Man 2:33 What Being Rooted Actually Feels Like In A Crisis 3:45 How People Keep Peace Through Loss And Money Stress 4:41 Greek Word Study. Founded Means Stable And Grounded 5:30 Greek Word Study. Moros Means Godless And Good For Nothing 6:19 Go Deeper In Your Bible Study With Logos 6:55 Happiness Leaves. Joy Stays. 7:20 Rise, Lead, And Build This Together QUESTIONS THIS VIDEO ANSWERS What is the difference between joy and happiness in the Bible? Joy is not a feeling that rises and falls with circumstances. It is a settled confidence that comes from God and stays through loss, sickness, and financial pressure. Happiness leaves when conditions change. Joy does not. How do I bounce back after life knocks me down? The same way a basketball does. Not by trying harder on the way down, but by what was already inside before the drop. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and rooted in the word of God is what produces the rebound. What does Matthew 7:24 actually mean? Jesus contrasts two builders. Both hear the same words. Only one acts on them. The storm hits both houses identically. The difference is not the weather, it is the foundation underneath. What does the Greek word "founded" mean in Matthew 7:25? It carries the sense of being stable, grounded, established, and firmly set in place. It describes a life that has stopped zigzagging and planted itself. What does the Greek word "moros" mean in Matthew 7:26? Translated foolish, but the range runs deeper. Worthless, futile, good for nothing, and godless. The foolishness Jesus names is the decision to build your life without God. Why do I feel empty even though my life looks successful? Outward appearance and inward filling are two different things, and only pressure reveals which one you have. A ball with no air looks identical to a full one until it hits the floor. Can you still have joy while you are grieving or struggling financially? Yes. Pain is real and it will hurt. But a person rooted in God knows how the road ends, and that knowledge holds peace in place while the pain is still happening.

    FIFA World Cup 2026 Final. So did God pick Spain?

    Send us Fan Mail ​ @fifa   World Cup 2026 Final. Spain beat Argentina 1 to 0. So did God pick Spain?  @LeoMessi   lost the World Cup Final. And three days before it, Spain's head coach prayed something almost nobody expected. Escúchame, I have to tell you about a sentence that stopped me cold this week. Three days before the final, a reporter asked Spain's head coach Luis de la Fuente what he had been praying for. Be honest, we all know what we would have said. God, give me the win. Give me the trophy. That is not what he said. He said this: "It would be unfair to ask Him to help me and not help our opponent." En verdad, en verdad, I had to sit with that one. Because most of us do not pray to know God. We pray to recruit Him. We treat Him like He is on our team, wearing our jersey, fighting on our side against everybody else. So we walk through four things here. The coach who prayed for both teams before he knew who would win anything. Ferran Torres, who watched 62 minutes from the bench, then buried the winner in the 106th minute. Rodri, who tore his ACL weeks after winning the Ballon d'Or, then came back and won the Golden Ball. And two verses that tie all three together. I pull the Hebrew and the Greek up live on screen for that part, and mi gente, those two Greek words are a fuego. Here is where I land. God's faithfulness was never sitting on a scoreboard. If Argentina had scored that goal instead, not one thing in this video would have meant less. The trophy was never the prize. The prize was the man each of them became on the way to it. And maybe that is you right now. On the bench, wondering if your moment is ever coming. Or you prayed, you worked, you believed, and it still did not go your way. Your faith is not wasted because you did not get the trophy. God might be doing the deeper thing. Building endurance in you. Proving your character. Making you somebody who can carry a win or a loss and still be who He called you to be. Because He knows you. Él te conoce. Better than any scoreboard ever will. So drop me one word in the comments. Bench. Rebuild. Surrender. Let's pray over this comment section together, y oramos juntos. I read every single one.

    God Is Calling You To STOP! You've Carried This Enough

    Send us Fan Mail God is calling you to stop now. Not later. Not after you fix everything. Right now. feeling emotionally exhausted, spiritually empty, mentally overwhelmed, or constantly at war within yourself, this message is for you. ⚠️ Sometimes the greatest blessing from God is when you STOP and let HIM be GOD. Here we walk through three stories from Scripture that reveal a truth most exhausted believers have never been told: the battle you keep fighting was never yours to finish. This message will challenge you to stop carrying the outcome, the panic, and the performance, and trust God with what only He was ever meant to carry. 🔥 In this video: Why God told Israel to stand still instead of fight The real difference between control and responsibility Why the label people gave you is not the one that defines you How revelation beats reputation every single time The hidden reason your worst failure never disqualified you Why Jesus restored Peter before He gave him a mission What you have been carrying that was never yours to carry This is not a message about giving up. It is a message about putting down what was never yours to carry and walking forward unshaken. If you have ever felt too tired to keep going, too broken to be used, or too far gone to be restored — stay to the end. God is not done with you.

    You Prayed to Overcome Obstacles? God Wants You To Know This Right Now.

    Send us Fan Mail You Prayed to Overcome Obstacles? God Wants You To Know This Right Now. God's gonna Romans 8:31 it in your life! This is the Bible verse the enemy doesn't want you to hear and it's about to your shift your perspective into success mindset mode. Today, God's about to break that wall wide open. You woke up to that email. The call from your kid's school. The diagnosis that came out of nowhere. And right now you're staring at a 10-foot wall you can't climb — wondering why you're stuck and what to do next. I got you. And I'm telling you: there's one verse in scripture that destroys every wall in front of you. Most people read it. Almost nobody actually USES it. In this episode of A Trailblazer's Journal, I break down Romans 8:31 — what it really means when "God is for you, who can be against you," and why God isn't waiting at the bottom of your wall. He's already at the top with a rope, ready to pull you up. If you've been trying to climb alone, this is the message that changes everything. 🔥 Walk Unshaken.
