When Belief Dies episodes:

January 16, 2023 The Burning Orange Autumn Leaves
This is another long-form thought experiment.
I am trying to capture the different voices within my head as I've journeyed out of Christianity and found myself reflecting and looking back over it.
I hope to capture the horror of leaving the faith and how awful it was being abandoned by the church and ninety-nine per cent of the Christians who knew me. As well as a desire I have to burn the institution down now I am on the outside.
Finally, I wanted to honestly explore my unshakable continued hope in threads of redemption being true. Because part of me still believes in it, and that's fascinating.
In essence, I wanted to express how all of that looks within my mind as I walk through these Yorkshire hills, following the old ways, through the burning orange autumn leaves.

December 15, 2022 Panpsychism and Christianity with Joanna Leidenhag
For this conversation, I am joined by Joanna Leidenhag and Roger.
Together we talk about panpsychism and how it differs from materialism or dualism, as well as how it can be connected to a theistic rendering of God to answer questions that are otherwise left wanting. We explore the problem of evil and finally land on Joanna's exploration and research into autism.

November 17, 2022 Bitcoin and the Potential for Individual Change with John Vallis
For this conversation, I am joined by John Vallis.
We talk about what Bitcoin is through a philosophical lens, diving into why it's important and how it changes people.
~Nothing in this episode should be taken as financial advice~
*Notes* I made two verbal mistakes in this conversation:
1) I say 'Martin Luther King' when referring to the Protestant Reformation. I meant Martin Luther and the 16th century, not the 1600s.
2) I say 'Short Time Preference' when I meant to say 'Low Time Preference' towards the end of the show.
