Itβs almost Christmas, and instead of a long episode, Daniel takes a moment to reflect.
In this short, candid episode, Daniel β a gay, liberal atheist living in the Bible Belt β talks about community, anger, compassion, and the challenge of choosing love in an increasingly divided world.
Topics include:
- Why hatred is easy β and love takes actual work
- The limits of arguing with strangers online
- Finding common ground without abandoning your values
- How small, local acts of kindness still matter
- What it means to coexist with people you deeply disagree with
This episode is raw, unfiltered, and intentionally imperfect β a holiday pause to ask a hard question:
Can we still be the love we want to see in the world, even now?
Can we still be the love we want to see in the world, even now?
