Original Episode Here: https://youtube.com/live/K7LiW8r2U4Q Tony, a deconstructing theist and former minister, calls in wrestling with finding purpose without religion, despite accepting scientific explanations of our origins. Matt challenges Tony's assumption that life needs cosmic purpose to be meaningful, using analogies that lead to some tension. When Tony reveals past suicidal thoughts, the hosts acknowledge they're not qualified therapists but offer their perspectives on creating meaning through enjoying life's pleasures and improving others' lives. Tony shares he's in therapy and will continue his search for meaning, whether or not he finds evidence for some force behind the universe. The hosts recommend the Secular Therapy Project for science-based counseling.
