The Meaning & Purpose of Meaning & Purpose

The Meaning & Purpose of Meaning & Purpose

In our final episode of this season of Mind Made Matter, we're discussing meaning and purpose. How can we find real meaning and purpose in our lives? To help us unpack these ideas, we'll be looking at some excerpts from an interview that journalist and broadcaster Piers Morgan did, with Stephen C. Meyer [https://stephencmeyer.org/], a scientist and well known advocate of intelligent design. That video was titled "Can This Man PROVE That God Exists?", and you can watch the full video here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISUynYz93zY].

Could the Multiverse be a thing?  That's what Ken is looking into in this edition of Mind Made Matter.

Why Faith Makes Sense With Simon Edwards

Although skeptics and atheists might argue that faith makes no sense from an intellectual standpoint, many of us who have examined faith through the lens of science, philosophy and reason have come to a different conclusion - that faith in a creator makes complete sense. Simon Edwards [https://www.theocca.org/author/simon-edwards/] is one of those people; despite not being raised in a Christian home, when he really started asking the big questions of life he found that having a faith was entirely logical and sensible. Simon was raised in Brisbane, Australia and for the last 10 years has been living in the UK with his wife Tash and three kids.  He is currently a speaker and writer with The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics [https://www.theocca.org/] (OCCA), where his work focuses on presenting and defending the Christian faith in a way that engages with the big questions of our culture. Simon and Tash are also the co-pastors of Venture Church [https://www.venturechurch.org.uk/] in Buckinghamshire. Prior to moving to the UK, Simon worked as a lawyer and holds qualifications in Law, Economics, Education and Theology, and is the author of ‘The Sanity of Belief: Why Faith Makes Sense’. You can find more content from Simon, and purchase 'The Sanity of Belief: Why Faith Makes Sense’ [https://www.theocca.org/resources/book-sanity-of-belief/] at OCCA's resource page [https://www.theocca.org/resources/?orderby=newest&authors%5B%5D=8].
