In this episode Val and Nathan review several common cognitive biases that many Christians worldwide struggle with due to their leadership’s tendency to constrict intellectualism [because broad and open inquiry may challenge their denomination’s particular ideologies]. 

When intellectualism is stifled, we do not become complex thinkers and we tend to overlook these biases and shortchange our own God-given abilities to grow in knowledge, truth, and wisdom. 

The biases are these:

1. Confirmation bias
2. Complexity bias
3. Community bias
4. Comfort and complacency bias
5. Confidence bias
6. Conspiracy bias
7. Catastrophe/normalcy bias
8. Cash bias
