2025 with Kierkegaard!
J. Aaron Simmons, Ph.D., joins us for our first episode of the year to discuss what it means to live a life worthy of our finitude and to risk our lives in the direction of faith! Joshua Noel and TJ, Tiberius Juan, Blackwell discuss with Aaron what it means for people who believe in an afterlife to still live as though this life matters! They also discuss how we should go into this new year, why Kierkegaard is so influential to Dr Simmons, and how we can keep from missing the moments in our lives that call us to make changes!
