Kevins act of courage inspired MILLIONS of people to overcome fears and courageously taking action. From not being able to go outside, to performing a comedy act on AGT is an incredible feat!! When we overcome our fears, we touch the lives of others. More than we will ever imagine! Thank you for your bravery Kevin!

@@gravityfuzz you cannot speak of Jesus behalf. How dare you. Also, nobody else in history has time recorded by their existence. The year is 2024 AD by the way. Not 2024 Buddha. AD for “Anno Domini” which of course means Year of our Lord. Who is our Lord? Jesus Christ!!! Something serious had to have happened to be so significant unlike the made up stories you speak of. What’s so significant? His life, death and resurrection!!! We have more evidence of Jesus than any other historical figure. But go ahead, just give me one example of someone fulfilling 353 prophecies written generations prior to His existence and fulfilling all of them? Can you? Just one? No, you can’t because none of them are real. I would tread carefully because Jesus came as a Savior the first time, the second time He is coming as a judge. You will be held accountable for what you said. I would fix that quick.
