J. Aaron Simmons, Ph.D., joins us for our first episode of the year to discuss what it means to live a life worthy of our finitude and to risk our lives in the direction of faith! Joshua Noel and TJ, Tiberius Juan, Blackwell discuss with Aaron what it means for people who believe in an afterlife to still live as though this life matters! They also discuss how we should go into this new year, why Kierkegaard is so influential to Dr Simmons, and how we can keep from missing the moments in our lives that call us to make changes!

.

What is Kierkegaard most famous for? What is the main idea of Kierkegaard? Does Kierkegaard believe in God? Did Kierkegaard believe in free will? Is Kierkegaard a nihilist? Why is camping good for the soul? Is camping good for your mental health? What does an existentialist believe? What is the existentialist way of thinking? What is phenomenology in simple terms? What is an example of a phenomenology?

.

In this episode, we will:

• Discuss Kierkegaard's philosophy
• Deconstruct how to live the lives we wish to be living
• Engage with each moment we are living in
• Explain how faith is so risky
