In this episode of The Vibe Shift, Edward talks with Noah, a theology graduate and study participant who reflects on the power of asking big questions—and finding simple but profound answers.
Noah shares how reading the medieval theologian, Saint Thomas Aquinas, transformed his understanding of religion, why our study's Simple Faith Narrative resonated with him, and how teaching with stories helps students navigate their own life journeys. From thirteenth-century questions to contemporary answers, we explore vital topics in religion and role modelling—for a generation that yearns for connection.
We talk about:
- Why Aquinas still captures the religious imagination
- How distance and closeness shape role-modelling relationships
- How virtues can be taught using stories
- Why a “simple faith” doesn’t mean a simplistic faith
Listen now for a thoughtful conversation about theology, mentoring, and life's exciting quest for meaning.
