We have fallen into these sort of battle lines that, like you said, we're outslike, i'm just going to trust one side. If they're defying the narrative on issue a, i'm going to join them on defying the airn narrative on issue b. In one sense, it can be kind of ex ratingly contrary. Anright? You're atyour feeling an verying ye. I'll show youahem,. There's an element here of critical thinking, thinking that i think that tim is getting at that essentially says we have to uncouple our mind from reflectiveness at all.

This week David and Curtis start with confession time, each looking closely at the challenges of contrarianism and pride that impact all of us in our modern discourse. They unpack the tricky balance between knowing, certainty, and humility, including the possibility that we might be wrong.

In the second half, they dive into the spiritual challenge of staying attentive to the war in Ukraine without just watching it as a form of perverse entertainment. In another tricky balance, our hosts offer suggestions for staying connected in ways that are less personally destructive and more spiritually healthy.
