Can a psychologist's exploration of religious themes captivate a global audience?

Join us on "A Show of Faith" as we uncover how Jordan Peterson's work resonates across diverse cultures. Our eclectic panel—a professor, a priest, a millennial, and a rabbi—bring their distinct insights to dissect Peterson's latest book, "We Who Wrestle with God," and his intriguing relationship with faith.

We ponder the question of whether Peterson can truly be considered a Christian, and how his ideas about striving for the "highest good" might clash with personal interpretations.
Our discussion ventures into the profound as we question the interplay between human consciousness and the existence of a divine being, guided by the philosophies of Carl Jung and Peterson.

Is God an objective reality or merely a construct of our minds? We weigh the scientific theories of the universe's origins against religious narratives, scrutinizing how these perspectives shape our understanding of faith. Despite potential gaps in his theological approach, we appreciate Peterson's impact on cultural and religious dialogues, recognizing his ability to illuminate the role of faith in a modern context.
In a lighter vein, we tackle the whimsical notion of God's existence without human acknowledgment, embracing the theological concept of God's self-sufficiency or aseity. Our conversation playfully touches on social media's validation-seeking and Martin Buber's philosophical insights, while also sharing amusing anecdotes from our own lives.

As the episode wraps up, we underscore the importance of humor amidst life's challenges and invite our listeners to engage with us through emails and our streaming platforms.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and remember, you can always tune in to more spirited conversations on "A Show of Faith.
