One of the most common discussions points I’ve had about the podcast is about what I mean when I use the term fundamentalism. I unpack what I mean by fundamentalism – and why I’m trying not to be one – in episode two. But it seems a bit more clarification might be helpful.

In this podcast, I oultine a few ways we drift into fundamentalism using Lewis' house metaphor.
