Together, they unpack what it means to practice curiosity in a time when nuance feels scarce and certainty is often rewarded over depth. Brittany shares how asking “the next question” can open up scripture, relationships, and even ourselves. The conversation moves beyond theory into the urgency of the present moment. In a world marked by political upheaval, cultural tension, and global crises, is curiosity naïve — or is it a radical act of love? Bruce and Brittany reflect on how curiosity might sustain connection across disagreement, expand our understanding of holiness, and keep the door open to new stories when division feels easier. This episode is thoughtful, grounding, and deeply relevant, an invitation to slow down, dig deeper, and rediscover wonder as a spiritual practice. 💌 Thanks for Listening!The Amalgamation Podcast, paired with The Amalgamation Newsletter, focuses on social justice, pop culture, digital community, left-leaning faith, and more.
