In this episode I talk about some of my motivations for doing the podcast in the way I do.

Should we question our inherited beliefs?

Thinking about the origin of our beliefs, if we should re examine them, and if so how we should do it.

In this episode I share some of my own experience including some of the side effects I suffered because of having a misconception about what faith is. I also explore the question of whether faith is mere belief or if there more to it than that?
