Practice, Intuition, and Chakra Techniques

Are We Living Through the BIGGEST Crisis of Purpose & Meaning in History?

3 in 5 young Americans believe that their life lacks purpose. This isn’t just a statistic, it’s a silent epidemic reshaping mental health, identity and future...So, how do we fix it?

In this DOAC debate, Greg Koukl (Christian), Alex O’Connor (atheist), and Dr K (psychiatrist) explore why so many feel lost, whether God is the answer, how death anxiety drives our search for meaning, and how YOU can find direction…today. 

This isn’t just a discussion. It’s a confrontation with life’s hardest challenge: finding meaning, and how faith, reason, and spirituality compete to fill the void.

Greg Koukl is a Christian apologist, speaker, and founder of Stand to Reason, Alex O’Connor is a philosopher, writer, and host of the Cosmic Skeptic channel, and Dr K, is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, mental health educator, and co-founder of Healthy Gamer. 

Together, they discuss: 

◼️If God gave you a purpose…what does that actually mean?

◼️Why “do what makes you happy” is terrible advice for finding meaning

◼️How comfort is quietly killing your sense of purpose

◼️The shocking truth about modern loneliness and identity loss

◼️The “paperclip problem” that exposes religion
