In this episode of Mystic vs. Traditional Christianity from Better Questions podcast, Kevin Hohe sits down with Daniel Gaynor to unpack his journey from a traditional Christian upbringing to a more nuanced, progressive understanding of faith, politics, and personal values.

Together, they explore deep themes such as the meaning of heaven and hell, the evolving nature of belief, and how Jesus’ teachings can be interpreted as both religious and philosophical truths. The conversation takes a wider lens into political identity, the role of tribalism, and how curiosity and open dialogue can help bridge divides in both spiritual and political discourse.

This is a conversation about staying curious, asking better questions, and being open to growth — even when it’s uncomfortable.
