Peterson [a non-Christian] was out of his element during the entire convocation event, but he seemed genuinely moved by the evangelical aspects of the service, clearly even becoming emotional during the hour-long conversation with Nasser, Falwell and apologetics professor Gary Habermas.

That was the scene at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, last Friday.

Peterson was mid-sentence when a young man plowed his way onto the stage and almost immediately crumbled to the ground, sobbing. He wailed, "I'm not well" and "I need help."

"I just wanted to meet you," the man cried, presumably speaking to Peterson. "I'm unwell. I called 911. I want to be well. My God, I want to know Him better."

David Nasser, senior vice president of spiritual development for Liberty, immediately told the young man, who identified himself as David, he was "in the right place."

Though the video feed was cut, the audio continued to record the incident. After a prompting from Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr., Nasser sternly asked the security guards to "stop pulling him," and began to pray for the man's "salvation" and "restoration."

Nasser, after the student was escorted off the stage, then shared a brief but powerful Gospel message.

"Let me tell you something," he said. "I think what you just saw is where a lot of you are, but David's just honest enough to cry for help."

The campus pastor then turned toward Peterson, who is not a Christian but authored the best-selling book "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos," and praised him for writing a text that "has connected with people" in such a profound way... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
