In this crossover from Doubters/Believers Alliance, Brien gives a talk about the merging of different religious understandings. Often times when Christians talk about their religion, they forget to realize or understand that their faith is blended together by numerous other religions that pre-dates it. This talk dives into how the early writers of the Bible were influenced by other religions and philosophical ideas. Christianity is just another religion among many that claim they are the one true religion.

In this very personal talk from Brien from Doubters/Believers Alliance is a very deep one. On November 21, 2021, I lost my brother-in-law. This talk about, "We Do Not Understand," is a flow of thought that is a gut punch of just how we as Christians and just humans in general really have no idea why things happen the way they do. This is a real and raw and honest talk.
