We all start with a system.

A way to understand the world—life, death, right and wrong, what happens next. Some of it we choose. A lot of it is handed to us. And for a while… it works.

Until it doesn’t.

In this episode, I use the game Kerplunk as a metaphor for belief—how it’s built, how it holds together, and what happens when life starts pulling the sticks out.

At first, it’s small. A question. An experience that doesn’t fit. You file it away. But over time, those moments stack… until eventually, everything starts to fall apart.

And then you’re left asking:

Did I break it?
Was it ever true?
Do I still belong here?

But even in the collapse, there’s something underneath it all that still feels real.

So what if the goal isn’t to rebuild the system…
but to step outside of the game entirely?

This episode is about faith, doubt, and what might be waiting on the other side of certainty.
