Part 2 picks up on a shared conviction: that the version of Christianity worth chasing isn't one made in our own image — comfortable parts kept, hard parts quietly edited out.

From there, the conversation goes places this podcast doesn't often go — into what's actually happening at communion, why Lutherans baptize infants, and why being at peace with mystery might be a mark of mature faith rather than a lack of answers. Chris shares a personal story about his grandmother's funeral that ties it all together in an unexpected way.

The speed round is a good time, as always, and the episode closes with a question passed down from a previous guest — one that gets an answer more honest than expected.
