The Philosophy of Truth — Part 1

Nick David joins Jenna Hays and Amirah David to trace his shift from default left politics to data-driven centrism and a grappling with Christian faith. They unpack everything from COVID era trust, censorship claims, identity politics, free speech, church and state, to the myth of neutrality. The group models disagreement without contempt and ends with a simple challenge - separate people from ideas, prize truth, and keep your courage with grace.

We finally decided to do a whole podcast about the Christian worldview - applying the same grid of meaning as we have done in the past with other worldviews!

In this episode, Jenna and Amirah take a 30,000-foot look at atheism - not just as a lack of belief in God, but as a worldview with its own assumptions, claims, and consequences. From Nietzsche to C.S. Lewis, they explore the major philosophical players, the cultural rise of scientific naturalism, and why the Christian worldview still offers a reasonable, hope-filled explanation of reality.

Can we really know anything about God? In this episode, we dive deep into the worldview of agnosticism and explore why, despite claiming neutrality, no one can actually live as if truth, morality, and meaning are unknowable. Join us for this exploration of truth, doubt, and the search for meaning. Is agnosticism neutral? We explore how the biblical worldview provides a solid foundation for a rational, meaningful life.Recommended Reading for Listeners: • Mere Christianity – C.S.

In this episode, we explore the pressure to choose sides in America’s political and cultural divide. True healing begins when we see disagreement as an invitation, meet others with humility, and extend the most generous interpretation to their views and actions. We are advocating for a recommitment to the dignity of all people.

We respond to some wonderful points brought to us from a listener related to positive new age intentions, as well as some common objections to Christianity including holy wars and hypocrisy.

The practices of New Age while contrasting them alongside of scriptural wisdom

We were cut off at the very end, so we pick up again in Episode 3.

First, a brief life update from Amirah & Jenna. Next, in this episode we introduce what New Age Spirituality is, and how it answers the major questions (meaning, purpose, why are we here, etc.) We begin to dive into the historical and philosophical roots that have given rise to the modern day New Age movement.

A casual late night discussion about what we do with suffering.
