INSIGHT

Purpose Depends On Objective Meaning

  • Purpose follows from meaning; without an objective meaning there's no true place for humans in the larger story.
  • Greg Koukl argues Christianity supplies that external meaning while atheism reduces purpose to subjective satisfaction.
ANECDOTE

Framing Was Edited Out

  • Greg recounts the Diary of a CEO discussion where he framed restlessness with Augustine's line.
  • He says much of his framing was cut from the final edit, changing viewers' perception of his approach.
ADVICE

Prepare And Beg Off When Surprised

  • Prepare answers ahead of time so you can remain calm and avoid appearing surprised.
  • If caught by a difficult question, briefly beg off and promise to think it through rather than flounder.
