Thinking Thursday’s are about critically thinking, breaking out of boxes, and discussing new ways we could live this life together.
When we leave a religion, tribe, or team are we really growing and changing or are we just jumping into another? Call out culture, politics, our need to be better than others, and scapegoating, heaping all the negative onto others, so we don't have to look at ourselves.
MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
Thinking Thursday: Thinking Thursday is about learning how to think. We live in a world where people like to tell us what to think, but has anyone taught us how to think?
