There's one more quote I'll share from your book, Unbelievable. It says, in the end, faith is not merely about belief. It's about learning to trust the God we cannot see to make sense of the world we can. I think that is a beautiful summary of what we're all about. And in light of this understanding you've gained about faith, would you say your show and hosting your show all these years has deepened your faith? Mm.
Speaker 1
Oh, absolutely. Yeah. It feels like I've had the privilege of kind of having, I don't know, a theology degree and cultural... Physical degree. Studies and everything thrown in. Yeah. I mean, you know, I don't claim to be an expert on any of these things, but it's been a wonderful experience to be able to sit at the feet of some amazing thinkers on all sides of these debates and learn and listen and try to pick up what I can and express it as I have. As I say, this doesn't, at the end of this, I don't find myself knowing all the answers. There are lots of things still go in the mystery bucket or the, I don't know, bucket. Some of my theological views, there are still plenty of gray areas where I'm not prepared to say this on that or the other. But having said all that, I would say my faith is much, in a sense, stronger, deeper,
Speaker 5
arguably than it was because I think through all
Speaker 1
of that, through all of the mystery and the, you know, the nuance, at the core of it, I found a really reliable story, a story that makes sense historically, makes sense philosophically, makes sense emotionally of us, makes sense of the universe
Speaker 5
we live in and kind of who we
Speaker 1
find ourselves to be in it. And I just don't find another story that makes better sense of it than that. I don't find that the atheist natural story makes sense. For me, just doesn't answer enough of the questions that need to be answered. I've never found another worldview that is more compelling than the Christian story. So I guess that's why, you know, I just think Jesus is the best thing out there. I know that kind of makes me sound like a good old South American preacher or something like that. But, you know, that's my, that's it at the end for me.
