My first talk w/Zain: https://youtu.be/1QnVcGq3Kow
** Add foreign language captions w/YouTube's community contributions tools **
Mistakes: Looking back, I wish we discussed the term "anxiety," because it seems to me that stress might be more of a factor than happiness here. I'm also wondering if the term "resistance" was less about refusal, friction, or being disaffected and perhaps more about "managing urges." Definitely worth exploring if we get another chance to speak.

A Christian joins Pinecreek Doug for an exploration of his God belief via Street Epistemology. Kudos to Youth Pastor Jon for his willingness to be introspective about his views. We should probably all strive to give our belief web and good cleaning every so often.

Mistakes: I shouldn't have been so quick to ask my question, because it appears that I cut off Marin just as he was starting to reflect on what he just said about the Devil. Maybe he was going to say "...and it sounds a little odd" or something along those lines. But now we'll likely never know for sure. Must try to slow things down even more, it seems.
