Philosophy, Faith, and Learning (Podcast)
I'm interviewed by Da Knowlton on what faith is, how I attempt to integrate faith into my life, the epistemic rationality of theistic belief, and the importance of change in one's spiritual life. Episode 46 (June 1, 2023)
St. Barnabas' Lecture Series
Video Talks
A talk on The Tree of Life (2011), Terence Malick's Palme d'Or winning film, as an artwork that motivated me toward substantial spiritual transformation. I compare the film to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and discuss background biblical information necessary to appreciate The Tree of Life's artistry.
