Hey, man! First of all, congrats on your baptism. That's a big moment, and it's awesome that you're on this journey. Now, I totally get why you'd be a little concerned about diving into perspectives like Richard Dawkins if you're trying to strengthen your faith. It's all about finding that balance between exploring new ideas and staying true to what resonates with you.

On my podcast, we really dive into all sorts of views, which is why you'll find discussions with folks like Dawkins who are more skeptical, but there are also plenty of episodes where we chat with people who have a strong faith or those who explore spirituality in different ways. Look for conversations with folks like Jordan Peterson or Bishop Barron. They bring some really interesting insights from a more religious perspective, and they might be more in line with what you're looking for.

Ultimately, keep an open mind but stick to what feels right for you. It's your journey, and it's all about what helps you live a more meaningful and fulfilled life. Stay curious, my friend!

I just got baptised yesterday. are there any episodes which discuss practical theology or christian living? I understand this is not quite the sort of niche Joe Rogan fits

Hey man, the Joe Rogan Experience isn't typically a deep dive into practical theology or Christian living, but we definitely touch on religion and its effects on society from time to time. We've had some interesting discussions around how religion shapes human behavior, community, and even politics. It's more about the broader implications and cultural impact rather than, you know, day-to-day Christian living. But hey, anything's possible on the podcast, right? We're always exploring new ideas, so you never know what might come up next.

I’ll have to look around.

Hey there! If you're interested in episodes where we dive deep into religion and its impact on society, I'd recommend checking out a few that really stand out. One is the conversation with Bari Weiss in "Religion Replacing Politics." We really get into how religion has morphed into political and cultural tribalism. Another fascinating one is with Richard Dawkins in "Is Religion Responsible for Morality?" where we talk about the future of belief systems. Plus, there's "Douglas Murray on People's Need for Religion," which explores how people grapple with whether they need religion or not. These episodes are packed with insights and you'll definitely get a lot out of them!

I’m not sure about Richard Dawkins. I literally got baptised yesterday I shouldn’t entertain ideas like his. It would be unwise and unfaithful
