Oh man this broke my heart 💔 Tony Robbins speaks with a 12-year-old girl who bravely shares that she has been struggling with very dark and painful thoughts. During this emotional conversation, he responds with direct but compassionate honesty, asking thoughtful questions that encourage her to pause and reflect on the seriousness of those feelings and the love that surrounds her.
The discussion begins with the girl openly acknowledging how overwhelmed she has been. Tony gently challenges her perspective by asking her to think about what acting on those feelings would truly mean and whether that aligns with what she really wants deep down. Through this dialogue, he helps her recognize the conflict between wanting relief from pain and caring deeply for her mother.
He then shifts the focus outward, inviting her to consider how deeply her family—especially her mother—would be affected if she were no longer here. He explains that the impact would go far beyond immediate shock, touching her mother’s sense of meaning, joy, and connection. This moment underscores how powerful love and relationships can be during times of despair. You can see how heavy this is weighing on him… Mr. Robbins even holding back tears
Throughout the conversation, Tony emphasizes that while everyone has the freedom to make choices, each decision carries lasting consequences. He reassures her that intense emotional pain does not define who she is, and that difficult moments can pass with support, understanding, and connection.
I see no way to follow Jesus and support war or violence in any form.
Jesus blessed the peacemakers not the warmakers.
He told us to love our enemies not kill them. He carried a cross not a sword.
He rebuked his disciples for resorting to violence, saying “Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.”
He challenged the logic of “an eye for an eye” and taught us not to repay evil with evil, but to overcome evil with good.
He showed us what perfect love looks like… And perfect love is willing to die but not to kill.
So let’s follow Jesus. Not Netanyahu or Trump.
Christ is the Prince of Peace.
