Is science enough? Or does it point beyond itself?

In this full-length conversation, Dr. Sven Ostring (PhD) and Christian unpack one of the biggest questions of our generation:

Is belief in God intellectually dishonest — or is it actually more rational than we think?

They explore:

• The Big Bang and the problem of “nothing”

• Fine-tuning and why the universe looks designed

• DNA, information, and irreducible complexity

• The multiverse theory

• Science and morality

• Why secular regimes in the 20th century became so violent

• Whether faith is emotional… or rational

• And the real question underneath it all: What gives life meaning?

  
  

This is a deep, honest exploration of the assumptions behind science, atheism, and Christianity.

If you’re a young man trying to build your life, career, and identity — and you’ve quietly wondered whether faith still makes sense in an age of AI, physics, and technology — this episode is for you.

Welcome to Cut Through — conversations that don’t avoid the hard questions.

If AI can outthink you, outwork you and outlearn you… what hope is there for a 20-year-old?

In this episode of Cut Through, I sit down with Kevin Jackson — CEO of Sanitarium — to talk about the future of work, leadership under pressure, failure, faith, and what actually gives a person value in a world obsessed with performance.

We break down:

– Is AI really coming for your job?

– Should young people still go to university?

– The truth about imposter syndrome at the top

– Why most business failures are people failures

– How to survive career uncertainty

– Why resilience is collapsing in young men

– Faith, logic and whether Christianity still makes sense in a scientific age

– Why your value is NOT your performance

Kevin became CEO at 32. He’s navigated industry disruption, COVID chaos, public criticism and high-stakes decisions.

But the most powerful takeaway?

Your worth stands independent of what you achieve.

If you’re 18–25 and feeling overwhelmed by AI, career pressure, identity, or direction — this conversation is for you.

Lean in. Don’t sit on the sidelines.

What does it do to a man to hold a dying stranger in his arms…

to be surrounded by 200 people who want to kill him…

to protect witnesses by erasing their identities…

and to spend decades staring evil in the face?

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, retired police commander Paul Roussos pulls back the curtain on 30+ years in the force — from gun-to-gun standoffs and riot chaos, to undercover work, witness protection at The Hague, and leading Australia’s Missing Persons Unit.

But this isn’t just about crime.

It’s about purpose.

Adrenaline.

Leadership.

Faith under pressure.

And what keeps a man from breaking.

Paul shares the terrifying moments that almost cost him his life…

the suicide note that brought him to tears…

the brutal reality of leadership mistakes…

and why he believes young men are starving for something bigger than themselves.

If you’ve ever questioned your direction, your faith, your identity — this episode will challenge you.

Because strength isn’t about ego.

Leadership isn’t about status.

And meaning doesn’t come from comfort.

It comes from pushing the boundaries — and choosing who you become in the fire.

From World Champion Dreams to Suicide Watch — And the Faith That Rebuilt Him

At 15, Lawson Walters was living in Spain, training every day to become a world champion motorbike racer.

Five months later, everything collapsed.

The money ran out.

His family fell apart.

His identity disappeared.

Sleeping on couches. Struggling with alcoholism, self-harm, and depression. Eventually ending up in hospital on suicide watch.

This is the real story behind the highlight reels — what happens when your entire sense of worth is built on success… and success disappears.

In this conversation, Lawson opens up about:

• The brutal psychological cost of elite performance

• Losing your identity when your “thing” is taken away

• Why success alone will never save you

• Hitting absolute rock bottom at 17

• And the unexpected encounter that changed the direction of his life forever

This isn’t a motivational speech.

It’s not polished.

It’s honest.

If you’re a young man chasing greatness, questioning your purpose, or silently struggling — this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen with an open mind. It might be the conversation you didn’t know you needed.

What happens when you do everything right —

work hard, chase the dream, build the body, build the business —

and still feel empty?

In this long-form conversation, two young men share their raw journey from:

• chasing money and success

• door knocking and building a business from nothing

• living for hustle, discipline, and image

…to realising that achievement alone wasn’t enough.

This isn’t a motivational talk.

It’s not anti-ambition.

And it’s definitely not performative.

It’s an honest conversation about:

• emptiness after progress

• why success doesn’t automatically bring peace

• what young men are actually searching for

• and how hope showed up when they weren’t even looking for it

If you’re grinding, improving yourself, doing “what you’re supposed to do” —

but still feel like something’s missing…

This conversation is for you.

Watch with an open mind.

Take what resonates.

Leave the rest.

What does it actually take to build a meaningful life?

In this long-form Cut Through conversation, I sit down with Gary Rayner — inventor, entrepreneur, and founder behind technologies that helped shape modern dash cams, digital lighting systems, and more.

But this episode isn’t about success highlights.

It’s about:

• Being bullied and not fitting into school

• Dropping out — and what most people get wrong about that

• Sleeping on factory floors and losing millions

• Betrayal, resilience, and starting again from zero

• Why shortcuts feel good short-term but destroy you long-term

• The role of faith, integrity, and service in real success

• Why relationships — not money — are what matter at the end

Gary speaks candidly about failure, grit, ambition, and the cost of becoming the man you’re meant to be.

If you’re a young man feeling stuck, behind, lonely, or unsure where you’re heading — this conversation will challenge you to think deeper about who you are, what you’re building, and why it matters.

This isn’t motivation.

It’s perspective.

Being told you’ll never walk again changes how you see everything.

Watching your house burn down finishes the job.

In this conversation, Brendan Pratt reflects on moments that stripped life back to the essentials — and why he later spent years wrestling with the role “stuff” plays in our lives.

This isn’t a motivational talk.

It’s a grounded, honest conversation about loss, control, and the beliefs we quietly build our lives on.

This episode offers clarity and perspective for anyone wrestling with loss, control, and what’s actually worth building a life around.

In this opening episode of Cut Through, Christian Co sits down with David Riley for an honest conversation about cancer, loss, and the questions that surface when life strips everything back.

Eight months after losing his daughter to cancer, David now faces his own terminal diagnosis. Together, they talk candidly about grief, fear, faith, anger, love, and what remains when certainty disappears. This is not a conversation about easy answers or inspirational slogans, but about what it means to face death with clarity, courage, and honesty.

This episode is for anyone who has wrestled with suffering, searched for meaning in the dark, or wondered what truly matters when the noise falls away.
