About this episode

The episode explores the relationship between faith and doubt, suggesting that both can lead to deeper understanding.

Doubt is typically considered to be the enemy of faith, but unexamined faith has a weak foundation. And mindless doubt, just keeps us on the sidelines. Used correctly, doubt can lead to sincere inquiry that can deepen our understanding. And ultimately, both concepts are stand-ins that are meaningful prior to our realization of that which lies beyond both.
