The Thinklings Podcast — Episode 35The Making of an Atheist

Welcome to Episode 35 of The Thinklings Podcast!

In this episode, the Thinklings dive into The Making of an Atheist, as Thinkling Stearns leads a thoughtful discussion on James Spiegel’s influential work. Together, the Thinklings explore Spiegel’s argument that atheism is not merely an intellectual position but one deeply shaped by moral and spiritual factors. The conversation considers how worldview, desire, and obedience to God intersect in the formation of belief—and unbelief.
