3:20 As someone who worked on staff with Campus Safety 2009-2012, this was an unexpected stroll down memory lane 😂

Glad to see a commencement speech actually happened...without crazy protests or politics but pure hope and appreciation. Very practical and useful advice

[@justjane922]

Great speech - well done, Zach! Congrats to the BIOLA class of 2024! (BIOLA Alumni Mom)

[@ilovekittens78]

So awesome to see someone so successful giving such real life advice, 😭😭 God bless Zach and all the Biola graduates!!

[@learningwithlanden]

The magic continues...Zach's speech was humorous (I'm definitely trying out the microwave trick), provided solid advice for world domination, and was grounded in the tangible effects of God in his life. We need more voices like his to be heard over the divisive, fear-mongering spirit of the age :)

[@pabloreyes2865]

So awesome! I saw Zach at the ISTE Conference as a Keynote. He was very inspiring. Now knowing he’s a fellow alum makes it even more awesome!

[@yonathanwinardi745]

So good. I can feel his sincerity

[@meredithc2755]

I’ve been a subscriber of Zach’s channel for a while, but now I’m even more of a fan! ❤

[@MacFam37]

Never heard of this Christian university before seeing Zach's face on the thumbnail and wow, this is so cool! Look at God👑

[@KingofGamingAndTrains456]

This is the same university where that math professor who pranks his students is from!

[@QGuibao]

This was amazing. Zach spoke the language of this generation and drove (or flew? like an eagle? or a man on a broom *wink2x*) them all back home to JESUS!!! And that synthesis in the end. "Don't die a chicken!" Life-changing words.

[@holasoyfenomenoide]

El resultado es que todos se graduaron para trabajar para hacer rico a otras personas que ni terminaron la secundaria o la universidad.

[@23e]

🎉😂😂❤

[@kaunainmaqusood]

Should I believe this, or this is just an illusion?

[@Bcke14304]

I wondered that too… like is this a comedy sketch, or did he really just give a commencement speech? Wasn’t sure at first. 😂

[@kaunainmaqusood]

@@Bcke14304 🤣😂 thought the same.

[@supersmart671]

Education has become a comedy....no reverence...

[@Jf_1900]

No reverence? Did you want him to bow and proceed to give a lecture?

[@JadenAizen]

Chill, it’s not that deep
