Episode notes
Early Faith And The Turning Point
- Jason grew up in a conservative, small church and experienced mountaintop spiritual moments as a child.
- At 18 a professor's reply "I have faith" drove him to leave Christianity and search other worldviews for 25 years.
Twenty-Five Years Of Searching
- After leaving, Jason explored atheism, Buddhism, philosophy, science, and many 'isms' to find meaning.
- He tested each path and found them temporary or dead ends before eventually returning to Christianity.
Backdoor Into Scripture
- Reading Joseph Campbell and embracing metaphor opened Jason to reading the Bible for transcendent truth rather than literalism.
- He discovered layered meanings that made scripture feel deeper and truer than his childhood literal approach.
