Lately, I’ve been thinking again about how strange religion really is. No matter how deep the question goes, it always seems to end with “you just have to believe.” For someone who lives on reason and fact, that’s a hard pill to swallow.

In this episode, I talk about my struggle with faith and how I tend to bounce between nihilism and absurdism — one moment feeling like nothing matters, and the next trying to find peace in the chaos of it all.

But I also see the beauty in religion — the way it brings people together, gives them purpose, and inspires them to be better for themselves and their communities.

If you’ve ever questioned what you believe, wrestled with meaning, or just enjoy open conversations about faith, reason, philosophy, and spirituality, this one’s for you.
