Because you can’t cover Truth in just one episode, all five co-hosts come back for round two on Moral Truth. Jeff begins the conversation with the annoying question of God and the Bible as the ultimate authority on morality. All of the co-hosts weigh in with excitement. After getting that question out of the way, the repartee between co-hosts weaves together thoughts on evolving moral truth, absolute evil, forming frameworks for ethics as well as criticism of conservative and liberal approaches to morals and ethics. The conversation moves between the world of ideas and the real world applications of those ideas.

Undergirding the conversation are the questions: Where does the responsibility to develop morals/ethics reside? Is it the individual person’s responsibility? Is it the community’s responsibility? What guides can we rely upon to help navigate deconstructing one moral framework while rebuilding another moral framework? Process theology makes several appearances in this episode. One might even say it “robs” the show.

Listen to the end to hear co-hosts play a new game invented by our own Pastor Casey, “This I Believe”. Spoiler alert: The Trump of pizza is revealed with talk of building a wall around pizza (gasp). Perhaps the broccoli-lovers of the world will pay for it.
