Who Tells the Truth? - Rajeev’s Three R’s - 167

Irenicast - A Progressive Christian Podcast

Talk of truth continues with an exploration of trusted sources of truth. Co-hosts wonder what makes us think something is true. Since the printing press and ensuing Reformation, have we been programmed to think the truth can only be told through the printed word? Co-hosts share their stories of questioning the fundamental truths handed to them by the authorities in their former lives.

The conversation turns toward the differences between facts and truth. Each co-host reveals their personal discernment processes. Rajeev’s truth discernment strategy is so good, Casey writes it down. As the conversation unfolds, co-hosts discover their experiences of truth shifting as a superpower. They vow to dedicate one more episode to truth, continuing the series. Next time the conversation will focus on changing one’s truth - something Irenciast co-hosts and listeners alike can speak to with authority.

Wait until after the music to hear your new favorite conspiracy theory; ‘cause co-hosts share theirs. We dare you to resist following a newly forged google trail into conspiracy theory lalaland.
