{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"TAOI (these aren’t our ideas)","slug":"taoipod","podcastDescription":"

These Aren’t Our Ideas is a podcast that questions inherited beliefs, challenges religious certainty, and explores where our ideas actually come from. We dig into Christianity, science, the Bible, theology, philosophy, psychology, and history—pulling from biblical scholarship, ancient literature, Greek and Jewish worldviews, and modern thinkers.

This isn’t about tearing things down for the sake of it. It’s about intellectual honesty, curiosity, and following the evidence wherever it leads. Many of the ideas we carry feel personal, sacred, or unquestionable—but most of them were handed to us. In this podcast, we ask: Who gave us these ideas? Why do we believe them? And what happens when we really examine them?

If you’ve ever felt tension between faith and reason, tradition and truth, belief and doubt—this space is for you.
