God, the universe, and ethics are all far more mysterious and uncertain than we tend to like to think they are. People tend to find a possibility they like and then turn their back on all other possibilities, wrongly assuming they are invalid. We want to reveal the beauty in uncertainty and unlock the freedom to be wrong. Our goal is to explore the possibilities of life's greatest mysteries so that empathy for other viewpoints can flourish.   Micah: https://www.tiktok.com/@ponderingtogether Christian: https://www.tiktok.com/@truthvoyager --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/morning-ponderings/support
