After spending about five months turning individual podcast episodes into blog posts, as well as designing a whole new website for the show, I have finally reached a point where I feel okay launching the new site. It is still not fully up to date. I have about 40 more episodes to do, but I am comfortable going live with it at this point.

I transitioned from releasing an episode every week to releasing an episode every other week so that I could find the time to work on this project. Thank you for your patience! I am going to ask for a little more patience though! I hear it is a virtue! Since I am already on an established bi-weekly schedule, I might as well finish updating the site right now—rather than later.

Once I am done, I do plan on moving back to a weekly, rather than bi-weekly, schedule. Again, I don’t want to give a hard deadline because I simply have no idea how long it will take. My guess, however, is that I should be done before the end of the year. Hope you enjoy the new site! Feel free to take a look around!

My full, three-part, interview with Chad Graham, the original founder of Thinker Sensitive, is now up and running. In the final segment, Chad and I discuss a variety of pertinent cultural issues: polarization, partisanship, civil discourse, free thinking, social media, friendship amidst significant disagreement, the importance of courage, the state of our news and information, evironmental concerns, energy concerns, the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary American society, and even the possibility of alien life. If any of these topics interest you, give it a listen! (the link is located in the comments).

Thinker Sensitive will be on break over the holidays. I will get back to producing weekly content either the first or second week of January. In 2023, I will be posting on social media much less.

I had the pleasure of interviewing my dear friend, and the original founder of Thinker Sensitive, Chad Graham this week. In this three-part interview, I ask Chad a thousand different questions, and he graciously and amazingly answers all of them!

Chad doesn't do social media anymore. So, if you originally subscribed to Thinker Sensitive because of Chad Graham, or if you are just wondering what he has been up to recently, listen to our recent discussion and dialogue.

In today's episode, I ask Chad about his personal story, which includes the story behind the development of Thinker Sensitive. Give it a listen!

Thinking better and thinking together about life’s most important issues. A place to finally meet in the middle to think freely and reasonably about the big questions of life. Welcome to Thinker Sensitive.

15/09/2022

We are happy to announce that we are releasing our third full season at the end of September. The season will be on the question of God, which Ryan believes is the most fundamental and important question of all—a question that speaks to and illuminates all other questions.

In this season, Ryan will explain why the question of God is so significant, detailing the many implications, and—most importantly—he will set out to provide a personal answer to the question. We hope that this season will be helpful to the formulation of your own response to this all-important question. Thanks for listening!

This week’s episode is a continuation of our interview with Randy Hardman, owner of the Drinklings Coffee House and creator of the Thinklings Podcast. On the second half of this two-part interview, we talk about suffering in human experience, the distinction between the philosophical problem of evil and the existential problem of evil, the presence of God in the midst of pain, the importance of wrestling with God, the significance of authenticity, the difference between faith in ideas and faith in a Living Being, the values of imagination and fellowship, and the importance of having a faithful presence in one’s own sphere of influence.
