Ep. 46 The Weekly: The Pragmatism of Faith

On this week's episode, Ryan unpacks the practical benefits of belief in God, looking at the relevant data and research from contemporary studies.

"I have said it before, and I will say it again: theism—belief in God—gives people meaning, purpose, and hope—something that I have personally experienced throughout my life—and something that these studies all demonstrate."
