It's difficult at any time to figure out what you truly believe, and who to trust, and what information sounds reputable. Right now, as much of America sits at home on our computers waiting to hear from the front lines in this invisible war against COVID-19 we have going on, we are going through an especially confusing period, where it feels like there is conflicting information everywhere, and this is about a very specific problem with an associated set of verifiable facts. But what about the questions where there is no obvious answer, questions of purpose, how to treat people, who to love? What happens when some of the answers you were given as a kid by your parents or grandparents directly contradict the answers you were given by your teachers, like whether dinosaurs exist or the Big Bang happened? What does it mean to question at all?
In this episode we sit down with Keith Chaney of the Saved(ish) podcast about his experience as a black, progressive, Christian millennial and the messiness of trying to come to some kind of understanding of the world when there are so many contradictions present, or more accurately, the process of coming to the understanding that there are a lot of questions you might just not know the answer to and you never will.
