The Skeptical Saint

How Do Beliefs Impact Everyday Life?

We’re doing something different in this season of The Skeptical Saint. In our day, people with differing opinions have lost the ability to converse with one another in a kind, amiable, thoughtful manner. And this is especially true of Christians and non-Christians.  This season, Aaron sits down with three friends with completely different experiences and beliefs to discuss the God of Christianity, the Bible, faith, doubt, and everything in between.  Ultimately, we’re all in pursuit of truth. And our desire is to learn better how to talk with each other, and address some of the big questions in our pursuit of ultimate truth and meaning. In this episode, Aaron, Brian, Claire, and Ryan discuss how our beliefs impact day-to-day life, and what changes when you believe Christianity is true.
