Divine Rational

This podcast explores how to live our best life through a rational and spiritual perspective. We’ll combine a secular rationalist approach with one grounded and guided by faith, religion, and philosophy. We’ll discuss the interplace between the spiritual realm and science, culture, and politics. On the one hand, faith and religion mature because of a greater understanding of our cosmos through science. On the other hand, religion and philosophy ground our culture and politics in a shared set of values and understanding of the world.

In this episode, we’ll talk about why we should build our own philosophy (philosophize) and what that means.
