Gaining Ground: Exploring Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Hypothesis

The only sure bet is uncertainty. As we start a new year, I want to take a closer look at navigating uncertainty and how we can normalize not knowing. In this episode, I introduce you to a nerdy, wire-rimmed-glasses-wearing badass of a German pastor and guide you through 4 questions you can ask whenever you're navigating uncertainty (which is all the time...).

Footnotes:

• Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Wikipedia overview)
• Letters & Papers from Prison by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
• Small Arcs of Larger Circles by Nora Bateson
• "Dancing With Systems" by Donella Meadows
• "Sustainability in Knowledge-Based Companies"  by Peter Brödner in Creating Sustainable Work Systems
• On Religion by John D. Caputo

Note: I talk at length about God in this episode—but there's no evangelizing. It's about "religionless Christianity." Just trust me.
