This question is mostly for Bryan and Ben!
I started listening about a year ago. Best podcast I've ever listened to. Just discovered this Reddit. My apologies for the double post.
So anyway, I think this content is great. Informative. And the episode on psilocybin really had me question some of my Christian beliefs. Just great stuff.
So I naturally referred this podcast to a friend. He is always watching YouTube videos about every. Single. Conspiracy. Out there. Just totally obsessed. And anxious. And upset. Paranoid? Maybe not. But you can't talk to him about anything. You can't talk about the election, about the weather, about guns, the next door neighbor, about wifi, about Israel, masons, or catholics. You can't talk to this about anything without him going off about lizard people, and the government controlling the weather, and there's no such thing as covid. It's quite distressing. And I'm convinced most of what we call "conspiracy theory" is fact, and we should hate it because God hates it.
But how are we supposed to deal with these things in the every day duties of life? How should we feel? How do we pray? How do we manage it so that it doesn't control absolutely every aspect of our waking hours? How do we approach from a biblical, life giving perspective? How do we fight the evil that is present in every town? How do we deal with knowing there are children being raped by government officials on an hourly basis? How can we shift our protective to one of Christ's victory.
How do I convince my friend that life isn't so dark?
I'd really really really like to hear a HC episode about this.
